The organist librarian

Went to recording of Just a minute x 2 at radio theatre Broadcasting House. Huge demo outside against Trump. Just a minute was great laughed and laughed. They go out September. A splendid In tune with superb string quartet, 3 cellos, quitar and quintet, Brindley Sherratt and ondes martenot. Did not care for James Collier. Catch it on I player. First night off to a good start with Oliver Knussen, Vaughan Williams and Holst. The very loud new piece by Anna Meredith was not helped by being in the same programme as The Planets. A attractive quiet choral section but what was the text? 5 telegrams? Have to watch the TV recording to see if the visual effects really worked. 6 bays of the gallery taken by equipment and seats moved. Home at mdnight.

Set off 11.45 very quick to terminal 3. Got duty free wine for cruise. We can take a bottle each. Liz couldn't get memory card.  She was upset that the seating change she made last night to a 2 on upper deck was not there but in fact the man next to me was happy to move so we were OK. Watched Goodbye  Christopher Robin, History Boys and Murder on the Orient Express and listened to Guy Johnston. Sound good and food OK. 10 hour flight. Taken past long queue at passport control because I was limping! Supershuttle to Washington park hotel Miami south beach. Long wait for room so given vouchers for breakfast. Met couple on our cruise. Tired out. Room good 2 beds. Hot shower. 3/2 woke early. Rain so no swim or beach. To supermarket and got adaptor ,camera card and salads. Booked for concert eventually.
