Yesterday, after an outing with two Brothers to the marvy exhibit at the Museum of London....
...went to a concert of the BBC Singers in Knightsbridge with my pal Kathryn.
An amazing Hollywood icon passed today. She was one of the biggest stars of her generation and if Mr Mayor had had his way, she would have been the star of The Wizard of Oz. A great what if.... As it was, among other achievements, she saved the Raj for another hundred years.
So this morning a very pleasant outing with Brother Philip to visit his favorite clock shop on the Portobello Road to help his son Johnny find a splendid example. This was handily accomplished.
A long overdue visit to the gym this afternoon and this evening another notable bit of British history. Every month the City Glee Club gets together here at Charterhouse to perform for us, guests and each other.
They have been singing in London since looking like this:
You see, around 1669, after the great fire, London choristers found themselves out of employment. There were no church for them left to sing in. So they decided to band together and entertain in pubs and clubs. Glee clubs were born.
Don't know about you, but I was in a glee club in high school and university, and I have certainly watched a certain TV program....
