Lockdown day #72

This morning I listened to Handel's Messiah, coming from Sydney Opera House in Australia.  The concert was recorded live last December.  There was a small period orchestra, and a large 600 voice choir ... and four soloists (the alto part being sung by a counter-tenor).  It was very nice to listen to, and lovely to see the audience [and the soloists] standing for the Hallelujah Chorus!

I received a new book in the post today entitled "Midland Red West & Midland Red Coaches 1981-1995" which is interesting.  I am not sure I am totally in harmony with its presentation, and it lacks an ISBN number, but an important addition to my Midland Red shelf nonetheless.


I got a phone call, and have been promised some new furniture next week (new to me) which should help me organise my books better.  After my exercise, I did some research into one of my book projects.
