Sherry

[liadnan]

Oh dear, I seem to have brought sherry (pronounced shér, of course) in cold blood. I think this may be some kind of lifechanging watershed moment.

Proms last Friday: Martin Neary doing the Bach toccata & fugue on the newly rebuilt Albert Hall organ (rather poorly, I thought, but it's good to hear the organ again, and working properly for the first time in my lifetime), BBC SO and Chorus with Elgar's The Music Makers (new to me, impressive piece solidly performed) and Holst Planets (started weak but came on form fairly quickly). I intended to go again tonight, for Dvorák (no I can't be bothered to find the code for r-with-a-thingy-on-top) Dmitrij but I'm not really in the mood for 190 minutes of unfamiliar opera.

In the middle of summer? OK, you may have a point!

I've only ever found hot port in England once, in Bath.

I haven't found it in Greece yet...

Well, hot port may be desirable in the current excuse for an English and Irish summer, but though Fi is indeed another Irishwoman she's in Athens...
