10th after Pentecost - Hobart Missa Cantata

This afternoon I'm off to Hobart; and will sing at Mass there to-morrow, for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost, Cum clamarem.

(Some may wonder why I've not been blogging much of late: well, Dad is still in hospital, waiting for a place in a nursing home, and we all visit him most days.  This has been very tiring and upsetting, as he is very weak and often confused.)

Update

My father has been in hospital since Monday; he is lucid now, but frail, bed-bound, and so forth: the medical advice is that he go into a nursing home, since he cannot be looked after by one person at home any longer.  In a strange way, now the difficult decision is taken out of our hands, this comes as a certain relief from worry: he will be cared for and kept safe from harm.

It has been a tiring and trying week.

(Many, many thanks for the kind emails sent me about this family crisis.)
