Dupasin, Messiaen, Beethoven

Swam 32. To tip and John Lewis to look at HDD/DVD recorders - what to buy? To tai chi and only Lesley came - had a good chat. John and Darren helped move furniture at Glyn Close as Dennis and AnnMArie coming down tonight late. Too late to get to preProm talk on French literature. Proved to be an enjoyable evening with Myung Wun Chung conducting Orchestre Philharmonique du Radio France. Messiaen which I usually hate was pleasant, Dupasin new work effective last movement, Beethoven tiple concerto a pure joy. Chatted to several people.
