A beautiful clear, sunny morning which made the walk downhill from the station to work a real treat.

Last night's rehearsal for St Dorothy's day went off well -- AdammF was there as well as NikiE. But, amazingly, there were no sopranos! Unheard of. As Tony said, he frequently conducts rehearsals without tenors or basses, but doesn't remember ever not having any sopranos. Anyway, despite the bottom heaviness, and the irritating third tenor, who kept prattling on about things he assumed I was interested in (like how he had mah jongg on Friday but thought he could get to the church by four if they packed up at half past three, blahdy blahdy bladhy...); despite these annoyances the rehearsal went off well and Friday should be fun.

Got to work to find a lovely long email from GR who recently moved to Ireland for work -- he seems to be settling in well. I haven't seen him for years but we've kept in touch intermittently by email. Perhaps if I get way this year I might take a detour to visit. Let's see.
