Santa Lucia

Swam 16. To St Matthew's and Hilary Johnson chaplain at St George's discussed ethical issues with us and we worked through 3 examples. Shared lunch and lots to eat. I drove to Kent House station but the lady on duty will not be there next Friday. I see no reason why I cannot plug in the keyboard. Returned scores to Central music library and went to Burlington Gardens to see Allen Jones RA which did not impress and lovely large prints by Hirashi Sugimoto. The Santa Lucia service was lovely. The cathedral choir sang Howells, Bruckner and Mouton and the Ulrika Eleonora church choir sand Nielsen and Adam among other things. The procession out hit the crowd! 

Santa Lucia

Took Li to station and then found swimming pool closed - should have gone to South Norwood pool!  Completed Clooney essay 2200 words and submitted it. Christmas cards and letters all done. Ran out of cards so if email sent no card! Watched The Hour final episode and Westminster Abbey featuring Mark Langham and An Island Parish. To serve at Santa Lucia service which was lovely. Excellent cathedral choir and Swedish choir. Baritone not loud enough?  He sang a Sibelius carol. The great moment is the Santa Lucia song in procession with girl crowned with lit candles and all carrying candles - so pretty! Looked for David Lester and Chris Hollis but didn't see them.Home to get fish and chips. Daphne Sherwood rang in response to the letter.

Move

Liz to Bow and I went to Glyn Close as the bed was delivered. I took up the rest of the carpet and put it in the skip. Measured for carpets and our bedroom and study and upstairs also done. Movers arrived at 3.45. Could not get table parts through door. Stored stuff in garage. Table from Bow is nice. To choir practice and did all the carols. Liz was at Santa Lucia service with Ann Sophie Van Otter singing. I drove past her at Selhurst as did not get texts!
