Coffee, Cath's, Guildford, Jamie's, Cocktails and "Tidying Up"

So now you know from the title, Dear Reader, what occurred today. Perhaps I need not write more. Perhaps I should not write more. But, Dear Reader, I will. Perhaps I will start with the end and end with the beginning... The Young Ones have just left Room 112 (my room) where they very kindly offered to help Alice and me finish off the duty free vodka and gin we bought in KL some 9 days ago. Slack work, Team. There are remnants, so the Young Ones are cordially invited back to whatever room I am allocated in Chichester tomorrow to continue their assistance in Tidying Up the duty free. What was said in Tidy Up remains in Tidy Up, and you, Dear Reader, should be grateful for this. As well as those whose reputations might be sullied by Tidy Up. Continuing our journey back in time, I will take you, Dear Reader, back to TGIF Guildford*. It stands for Thank God Its Friday. Except on their wall it says TGI FRiDAYS, with the plural marker. (Note to self: Turn off inner Grammar Pedant af...

Shiny, Shiny Girl

Nareen Nitchingham received word today that she has passed her exam that she sat for in Guildford last week. She has been awarded her RSCM Gold Medal. Congratulations Nareen from all on tour, with special congratulations from me; I've known her since she was 8 months old, peering over the side of the pram while her brother came to Speech Therapy. I described her then as being a large pair of brown eyes with a little girl wrapped around the outside. She has achieved so much since then. Well done, Princess. Love, Auntie Chrissie PS Dear Reader, feel free to post your congratulations here, I will let her know...

Michael’s Joy

From Michael Gnanapragasam “In 1988, my late grandfather, Rt. Rev. Jabez Gnanapragasam (12th Bishop of the Diocese of Colombo, Anglican Church of Ceylon), came to Canterbury Cathedral, the seat of the primate of the whole Anglican communion, to attend the Lambeth Conference. 31 years later, in 2019, his grandson sang evensong in the very same cathedral with the choir of St. Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide. In a few days, his son (my father) and his other grandson (my brother) will also have been in this magnificent cathedral. Thank you, Appappah for the legacy you left behind. “To God all praise and glory!” Here is Michael with his father Thayalan, his mother Shanti and brother, Jonathan after our last Evensong in Canterbury. All of us are thrilled for you, Michael, as you share your joy in singing God’s praises in English Cathedrals, and continuing your family’s service to the Church.  It is great to have your family with us for our time in London.  Cxx
