Mount St Bernard

Fisher House and Upper Norwood played some more from Elijah, Carmen from the Met. Music in lockdown. I wasn't planning to watch Carmen but it was riveting! Anita and Aleksander fantastic acting and singing.Some piano playing and recorded some hymns but not done much singing. Lots of opera on you tube and the Met via Facebook on our TV via firestick. Not listened to radio much. I am not convinced about opera without visuals and subtitles. Not listened to CDs or LPs and not gone through old cassettes and videos so why keep them? Have weeded scores and cleaned out music cupboard. When the online Proms start how many will be on TV? Probably will not be able to get to libraries for scores but I do have some of my own. Back at the organ on Sunday but no singing. There are so many inconsistencies in instructions about church. If toilets are closed how do we cope? Face coverings are at least a good idea. Communion brought to each person is a better idea than lining up but that would be influenced by the seating. Numbers allowed vary widely. It will be interesting to see how many actually come and I guess public transport and community charge will affect London in particular. Les Blancs from National theatre excellent and disturbing. The play addresses so many issues about colonial Africa so well. Good to see Newsnight last night with Dominic Robinson, Sarah Teather and the Cardinal with a striking image of dropping the homeless into an abyss. Lets get all the homeless off the streets! But what money is being put into housing? Proms 2020 programme looks good. So far 5 prommers have emailed me. One problem is that the full programme not given at this stage. Just on phone to friends. They go walking in the cemetery - nobody walks into you there! Ellen and Noel will not be returning to the cathedral soon. Nor will we nice letter to servers but it will be some months yet. Caribu is fun enjoyed sessions with the boys! Brilliant Don Giovanni from the Met. Who would have thought putting up a new bracket for a flower basket would be so tricky? Any way it's up! It helps to match screw size to rawlplug size. Gala San Francisco ballet. Mozart clarinet Concerto I recognised the hall Reykjavik.Outside the city about Mount St Bernard monastery.
