Fisher House did not bother with Met as it was Barber of Seville. Being Beethoven part 2. Come dine with me. Henry came from 11 to 2.30 garden, trampoline, bear hunt, listening to stories, piano. Seem reluctant to go. He has grown a lot. His portrait and Ciaran's on show. 7 at zoom and Janey Maxwell for the first time. Prom Knussen, Debussy, Tavener Protecting veil with Stephen Isserlis. Did not enjoy Minna Keal symphony at all. Listened to In the land of Uz by Judith Weir from 2017 prom Southwark cathedral Adrian Thompson BBC singers Nash ensemble Stephen Farr organ last concert by David Hill as BBC singers chief conductor. Now back to 1638 on family tree one 7th great grandfather Henry Oadhams in Warwickshire! So many of that family lived long lives! 
Wednesday. Fisher house. |Email re St John's disappeared. Meditatio session. 
Tannhauser from the Met seems very brown! Tatiana Troyanos, Richard Cassilly and Eva Marton on great form despite the gloomy sets and very old-fashioned look. Zoom spiritual directors supervision group was good. Mark agreed about boring liturgies online.  Zoom for gallery prommers good to see Sue, Georgie and Leigh. Mass for deceased Catenians from Salford cathedral. Bishop John gave an excellent homily on Mary Magdalene.  The Priests recording used. Sadly the many names were not read out. Prom is Chailly and Concertgebouw. Prokofiev 3 and 2 encores. I ducked out of Friends of the Earth zoom. Shakespeare in Italy programme. Nelson's latest tutorial.
