Prince Igor

Served at 5.30 chapter Mass. I was cross then Rebecca rushes in and does boat and starts doing things! So irritating. I ended up doing acolyte duties. To Coliseum and delivered card for Jan Latham-Koenig at stage door. Doorman "How will I know him?" "He's flamboyant - you can't miss him!" The opera was well done if rather heavy vocally and the production was traditional and very Russian. Lots of Russians in the audience too. My seat in upper circle was good and you could see the surtitles after all. Jan conducted well and the Russian chorus were impressive. I did not go backstage as had to get to Acton which I reached at 11.30.

Swam 20. Mosaic and good progress, 9 at tai chi - bit crowded at times! To Balham and returned Prince Igor and Werther scores - all the music leaflets have gone! To Nationwide as my card is cracked and got 5 amp fuse at Sainsbury's - outside light still doesn't work! Come dine with me. Jan Latham-Koenig on In Tune. The confirmation session on marriage went really well. So much better than the previous 2 years as I had attended most of the sessions and could link back to vocation and the creation session. Lively discussion in groups as well - most of them want to get married and there were some interesting comments on what they do not like! Rev was funny and topical and University challenge saw SOAS go out which is a shame. Gay wedding the musical very OTT. After her rehearsal for Maundy Thursday Liz met the 2 bishops elect in the street!
