I'm feeling very settled up here in Durham and have been blessed with fine weather foor the past three days. However, snow showers are forecast for the weekend!
Yesterday, I had a pleasant time writing postcards and letters in the morning and then set off walking with my friend , Barbara, to a lunch in a church hall which happens every Wednesday for just £2.50. there were some very interesting people there, including the OZ cricketer , Michael Slater's aunty. Then I walled to the library and did more emailing etc and had a bit more of a browse. The non-fiction collection is quite limited actually, which surprised me. Beleive it or not, I took a book out.
I went to the Cathedral for Evensong and the choir was excellent. They sang Watson in E and Howells ' Hymn to St Cecilia' which I had not encountered before and was absolutely magnificent. Then I walked back home - half an hour walk- and had an evening watching TV while Barbara taught her music students.
Today she has gone to a school to teach and I am back at the library and now off to a lunchtime Leider Recital at the Music School here which is part of the university.
Tonight I am going to my friends the McIntyres ( Geoff and Julie) for dinner and then to choir practice at St Oswalds , their church, where I am going to sing on Sunday. Am looking forward to spending time with their two delightful children- Millie nearly 7 and Oscar who is 4.
