Such a busy April so far, what with starting our move to live permanently and full-time in mid-Wales and getting The Husband's house ready for sale, that I didn't get a chance just to sit still and listen to some Bach for Easter. Finally, though, I have a morning off so I am cuddled up with the laptop and a cup of coffee and my headphones on so I can soak up some of this.
I mentioned to my Big Sis, Perpetua, that Handel and Mozart are supremely uplifting for me too, as she had said they were for her, but that Bach had wormed its way into my very being, or some such phrase. This opening chorus of the Johannes Passion is in quite some way resposible for that. It drills through me...
That was glorious, Baby Sis. thank you. Good luck with the remainder of the preparations.
ReplyDeleteThat was this am, this pm I have won a few quid on Seabass each way, backing a female jockey to come in the top four on her first go at the Grand National - she came third. Utterly stoked, not so much for my cash win but for Katie Walsh's triumph. Stupendous.
DeleteWell done, that jockey! I normally watch the Grand National, but completely forgot about it with no TV here. We missed the Boat Race excitement too...
