92 today
I CAUGHT up with Mum yesterday for lunch (before my evening shift). It's her 92nd birthday today and as I'm not able to visit her on Sundays for a while I took myself over mid-week. She saw the rheumatologist earlier this week and got cortisone injections in her ankle, knee and shoulder. They've done the trick as she's obviously walking more easily; she walked down to the front gate with me when I left, something she hasn't done for some months.
In other news I'm still frantic, but there is an end in view. Tuesday's Gombert rehearsal went off well; tonight is four hours of Bach with Marco which could be more than a trifle fraught. There may well be tears before bedtime.
Because of tonight's Bach rehearsal means I'll have to miss German -- when all the singing is finished (for a while, at least) I'll knuckle down and do some serious catching up.
Reading: Jared Diamond, Collapse
Listening to: Bax, Symphony no. 6, Costello, Il sogno (yes, it is Elvis)
