Delightful family zoom. Fisher house mass and services on you tube Caterham and Upper Norwood. Zoom of Caterham folk. Peregrine is OK. More Ride upon the storm which is very absorbing the problems created by a domineering father a Danish Lutheran priest. Zoom Death cafe very interesting. Nelson colours. Prayers from St John's. Antiques roadshow Young musician piano final. Liz found more boxes of old papers. I cut Liz's hair for the first time and it was OK! Excellent talk on John Fisher from Mgr Mark Langham.

We sang Prayer of St Richard of Chichester. L. J. White and I played Meditation on Slane by Thiman and Dubois Toccata. To Death cafe and very interesting conversation. Lovely that Bobbie Darbyshire came.Tidied up the patio so we could eat out. Nothing on TV so catching up on Couples come dine with me. Mosaic. Alessandro Bianchi from Lugano played a completely unfamiliar programme at Cornhill. Langlais and Germani were the only composers I had heard of! Quite interesting.

We sang Brother James's Air so played Darke Meditation and RVW Hyfrodol. Archdeacon Moira. To death awareness event which was well supported. Then open garden in Burbage Road, Herne Hill. Traffic bad because of football match. Cindy Kennett was serving tea and met her sister and the wife of Aziz who was a bass in the chorys. Evensong lots of unison Dyson and hymns too loud. Orb and Sceptre at end not very good. The last Durrells was superb! Victoria also finished. Sidney reported John East was responsive and liked the radio. 

We sang Rutter A Clare benediction and I played Bonighton on St Denio and Fish and Thiman on Hanover. A busy day - up at 6.30 a.m. After Caterham I went to Holy Innocents and met the Polish parish priest and he has given me a contact who might be interested in Catenians. Death cafe at St John's was very interesting. Did you know that after April everyone will pay £6000 tax when they die? The most basic funeral costs £4000! At evensong we sang Stanford and Bach. Susan Heath-Downey played well at Christ's chapel Dulwich - Andrew Carter, Mathias and Bach. Call the midwife was very moving.

Hot again. Played Sheep may safely graze (Liz's Mum's favourite) and Sortie Noel Rawsthorne. We sang Marry Haugen's Let us build a house, We have a gospel and David Ogden's Christ has no body now but yours. Next Sunday I will play Finlandia Liz's Dad loved that. Good thing Finland not in the World Cup! I am working on Easter hymn by Mascagni. I need a piano score without vocals so will have to arrange it myself I expect. To the first Death Cafe at Sylvan Road which was fascinating. At evensong we sang Coll Reg and O pray for the peace of Jerusalem - a feast of Howells. To Christ's chapel Dulwich for Andrew Benson-Wilson playing Couperin and Tournemire. How nice to know that Ellie Gauge whose mother I met today is still singing in church. She was in the choir at St Andrew Coulsdon. Poldark was good.
