 Wonderful St Martin's walk along Long Water Hampton Court. St John's Mass.  Serving a Wounded World in Interreligious Solidarity a very interesting session with Arundel and Brighton on this new document from Vatican and World Council of churches. Good to see friends there! The GCCM Advent retreat did not engage. |Excellent South African. Stirred puddings and found Advent stuff. Liz went to sleep. Hyacinth dropped by and saw garden. Made Advent wreath while listening to St John's Cambridge. To St John's for Advent carols. I do not like socially distanced singing partly because I cannot hear others and I could not hear what Adrian was saying and said so. I moved next to Fr Andrew. It makes no sense if the professionals are there to boost us to have them not sitting with us! That soprano was there again and on the recording all you hear is her and it's shrill on top notes. Frankly unhappy. We sang Fleming, Guerrero, Mendelssohn and Stanford Te Deum. It was a long stan...

 Blackfriars, St Martin's. Excellent zoom with Collette and Rita. Meditation. To Lidl and Post Office and got petrol. Liz moving slowly. ACN presentation no sound but did hear Fr Dominic at Farm Street. ACN from Scotland. Dennis and family came and brought birthday cake. Henry on good form. Repair shop.  Took Liz early for blood test. Dr Ojo rang. Faith action received Free churches report on social cohesion. SLIFG heard a fantastic lecture by Chris Hewer on Hussein. Committee followed. Laudato Si animators meeting. Dialogue at Laudato Si' institute Oxford on economics - I am no economist. Marina and Peter Donohoe on Rachmaninov fascinating. So a lot of zooms today! Martin Renshaw on a day in the parish church and lots of sung services. Master chef professional.  Excellent interview with Brian Pearce. Blackfriars, St Martin's, Walsingham. Liz has to see haemotologist. Finished uploading videos.  Just caught up on the LLF Advent wreath you tube recording. Good to see ...

 Monday started with St Martin's and it was very clear today then Blackfriars. I looked it up. I definitely lunched with Helene at St Benet's hall and I think we visited the chapel at Blackfriars but possibly not as I do not think they have an organ. Worked on uploading videos. Eleni played Liszt and Reger at Cornhill. Excellent Women and liturgy session. I wasn't going to go to Beckenham circle but I am glad I did because Phil Brown said a lot of sensible things. Only connect and University challenge. Tuesday Blackfriars, St Martin's and Walsingham then Helen Gimson rang. Bruce knew her son Will at Bath courses! Henry came and put out washing, played track, 4 games of Quack quack, ate 2 oranges. Liz tired again. Quiet time. Peter won Bake Off - I said he would! Excellent Craigmyle lecture by Sir James Macmillan. Most interesting Eucharistic take on Tristan Act 1. He rates that and the St Matthew Passion the most spiritual works. Poulenc Dialogues and Messiaen got high ...

 Lovely walk with Richard at Chiswick House. Beautiful retreat on Vermeer at Belmont with Mass and Vespers. What a treat! Sr Wendy We should not look at at the Light but live in the light. Poulenc Dialogues of the Carmelites from the Met. Loaded more videos. Family calendars came. Strictly. two more episodes of The Crown. Radio 3 tribute to Stephen Cleobury.  Sunday Christ the King so played Crown Imperial. 3 in choir and sang Tony Hemson's Alpha and Omega and Cleobury's arrangement of Let all mortal flesh. At practice afterwards started to discuss carol service and Jerry blocked all suggestions - church needs to be cleaned, Alan would need to be involved (he was available) the final straw was Friday is my day off. So I just said "That's it, no carol service". Several people thanked me for the music so I guess they picked up I as not happy. Home to David Grealy playing Langlais. Young chorister semi-final for 5 girls on SoP. Awful vibrato from one of them. Alice f...

 A most interesting interview with Sarah Thorley about SLIFG. Watched films on Paddington. Liz had Alpha. Bake off extra slice and Come dine with me. 

Excellent zoom on London food policies. 30% of waste in London is food waste. This has got to change. The St Cecilia event was sadly very disappointing. Where were the hymns and prayers we love or the inspiring address? Couldn't Ronald Corp have done something? The Westminster cathedral choir sang beautifully and good to see Ian and Javed but the introduction was perfunctory and the credits called it the Abbey! Gloucester cathedral choir sang well and got a big puff from Harry Christophers. Meditatio session.. Working my way through uploading videos onto You tube and came to me playing at Addiscombe and Liz singing beautifully. It's so lovely to see the kids when they were small. What a happy family!   Sion centre on Women in the Bible with Rabbi Alexandra Wright. Bill Heubsch on Fratelli tutti excellent. Thursday Knackering LSI group zoom but enjoyed Gallery Prommers and Adrian Tring was chatty. Good to see him, Fratelli tutti and CSAN and CAFOD was good with Anna Reynolds. T...
