The usual sort of bank holiday Monday. Went by bike through rain to Cadogan Hall for the Chamber Prom, unexpectedly met up there with friends, joining them for a post-Prom drink nearby, then cycled home. Mixed salad with piri piri humous dip and walnuts followed by fresh fruit salad with ice cream shortly to come. There doesn't seem to be anything of interest on the box tonight after last night's emotionally draining "Atonement" on ITV3, and not bothering with the Broadway Prom, so will probably listen to Tim Berne's Caos Totale, taped onto cassette from a broacast from the Bloomsbury Theatre back in 1993, and tune in to Jez on 3 before making an early night of it.

The word missing from this thread and (it appears) your lives is Children. I've been running a paper aircraft factory, given 3 arduous & intensive frisbee training, bought a new football to replace the one punctured in the rose bushes etc...

Cats are missing on the thread too! She's been on my lap looking out at the rain, rain, rain, so I read even more of the Guardian than usual whilst she fell asleep. Earlier, pulled on 2 dressing-gowns to refill 8 bird dispensers and never mind the rain.
Listened to Knussen's 3rd Symphony on iplayer, and Karajan's surprisingly good Symphony of Psalms.
Had great fun seeking out listening to and ordering CDs by Goehr, Knussen and Max Davies. Hope to get around to new download of Schwertsik and Gruber later, after Tomato Soup and Chicken Salad, if I'm not too drunk and the cat will let me.
Staying in bed till 15:00 really charges the batteries!

Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Up late, read for a bit because it rained here - avoided mowing lawn. Spoke to No 2 daughter - still no news of impending % overdue grandchild. I think it's decided that the world is best seen from where it is. Daughter still not keen on playing it Mozart.
Spent most of PM dismantling and repairing neighbour's electric bed....don't ask! Then a nice bottle of Italian red with roast chicken dinner. Long day tomorrow so Night Night all!! Perhaps a quick read before Matron and lights out.
