Aye, it's Good Friday, and not a bad day weatherwise.
Breezy this morning but quite bright with some intermittent sunshine and
about 11C / 52F. It is customary in some parts of the world to attend a
performance of JS Bach's St Matthew's Passion today, and it is one of
the few pieces of classical music where the audience does NOT applaud at
the end. You file out in silence. The Passion ends with the death of
Christ being mourned with the words: "In tears we are sitting here".
Never a dry eye in the house...
One of those glary days. Sun is not openly out in the
sky, but the thin high- and mid-level cloud makes the light very bright
indeed. It doesn't always agree with me, unfortunately. Where's me
paracetamol?
