Spoke to Ann and they enjoyed their visit to Berlin. To seniors coffee morning in the Hinsley Room and met Eric and Patrick and a lady from Doon Mary Mahoney. Patrick goes to Lourdes with the Jumbulance every May. 31 at Understanding Islam including some refugees from the Coulsdon course who missed this week's session there. Sue Lyon among them! To the British library to see the treasures exhibition, the Folio society exhibition about the Bloomsbury set and the European Avant Garde display (latter not to my taste). Had a look at St Pancras and the roof is very impressive. Do not like the big sculpture under the clock! To chorus and Edward Caswell is excellent. He was making a guest appearance. We worked on Elijah and Beethoven 9 and he likes legato singing and the sound improved a lot. Liz arrived home with the old car 330 miles from Dublin! She stayed in Shrewsbury overnight.
