This evening I went to a new group called Classical Social Meetup, another Meetup devoted to classical music. People get together at Fionn McCool's on Adelaide Street and watch a loose group of musicians play chamber music in a relaxed setting. You haven't lived till you've heard Danny Elfmans THE SIMPSONS theme arranged for cello! They also played Beethoven's Egmont Overture, which I've always liked. There was a wide range of instruments, including flute, bassoon and French horn. I met Cecilia from the Classic Movies Meetup there. (I often seem to meet the same person at different Meetups.)
Moira borrowed a BBC documentary series from the libraries titled A HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY, narrated by academic Diarmaid McCulloch. I find these historical documentaries fascinating. I liked his comparing Papal indulgences to selling lottery tickets.
Father and I did more work on the accounts from the book business. We're almost finished, but now we need to find the December receipts!
The Non-Fiction Book Club Meetup is doing READING LOLITA IN TEHERAN in May. That sounds worth reading. (This Wednesday they're discussing FILTHY LUCRE: ECONOMICS FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE CAPITALISM. I'm tempted to go even though I haven't got around to reading the book!)
