Saturday
Liz went to get her hair done. I started packing. Wrote report about Jerusalem and listened to David Goode from King's college and interesting programme on organ music CDs. Watched Island parish 1 from the Falklands.

Just listening to internet BBC Radio 3 Performance of the week Wed on BBC radio player which is only for a week. It is the performance from the opening of the Royal Festival Hall. A strange programme - Julian's Anderson's "Alleluia", Stravinsky, Ives, Purcell and the 4th movement of Beethoven 9. The orchestral sound is tremendous and the combined choruses on great form. We sang from memory. The Falklands commemoration parade from Horse Guards parade is currently on TV. Royal Marines band as good as ever.
