Bach in the swing of things

After my program on Saturday I caught the bus up to Lygon St, and then a team up to the Great Northern Hotel where I met up with B&P, Nick and K and their four children, and Julie and Ian - a true Sims get-together. We were in the beer garden out the back and the food was acceptable; much talking was done by all present.

Then in the morning it was up early and into St John's for the first cantata of the year, Ehre sei dir Gott, my favorite from the Xmas Oratorio. It all went off very well and was great fun except for the unusually boring sermon from the locum pastor.

Not much worth mentioning since then. Watched the third episodes of The Leftovers tonight: it's getting weirder by the episode, although I can see that it will be a self-contained weirdness each time (tonight's being that of Christopher Eccleston's priest) all fitting in to the long-arching concept. A bit like a set of linked Twilight Zone episodes.
