January 1, 2019

Mozart from the kitchen radio. Spent the dawning morning of the year cleaning up after the party and doing the backlog of laundry. If what you do on the first day sets the tone for the year, it is well enough to scour and clean and put to order.

Read Tennyson’s “Ring Out, Wild Bells” for the Appalachian Brass concert at All Souls.  It was a lovely concert, all in all, with a room packed n the first day of the year. I liked the brass music more than I usually do. The poem is piercing, and lamentably as relevant now as when his lordship wrote it.
