Saturday 17 October - what a treat: a home lute concert!



Thanks to my colleagues Anna and Marcus we had a huge treat today.  They came to our house and gave us a lute duet concert.  It was fantastic!  Not only was the music fabulous but we learnt a a lot about lute music, lute playing, lute making and also about their preferences among some of the composers.  It was a real privilege having them here.  (As some recompense we did give them lunch first...)


I need to correct something from Thursday's blog.  I failed to read the dates on my appointment card carefully enough and my appointments next week are actually on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.  Oops.

Yesterday's hospital visit involved blood tests, a long wait for the platelets to arrive and then a half-hour platelet transfusion.  I suspect that Tuesday will bring more transfusions so I hope to be feeling well enough to drive myself.

Hoping to get to a local art exhibition tomorrow morning for a little while and then to go to the concert for the Come and Sing Messiah in our church at 6pm.  Had my first walk out today for 10 days (have finally shifted the cold) which was lovely.  Feeling pretty good today.
