Today Iโ€™ve sung tenor in a Society parish Mass (the quintet ended up a quartet w/ 2 altos & 0 bass, so 2 of us dropped down a part), then sop 1 solo in Haydnโ€™s The Heavens are Telling for #Evensong in my home church. A day full of variety & joyful praise โค๏ธ And Iโ€™ve decided to start #organ lessons!

A wonderful Sunday afternoon listening to the @stalbanscathedral.bsky.social choir in their moon-themed concert and then the joy and privilege of leading and cantoring #Evensong with my wonderful sending church choir. Dyson in D Nunc always makes my spine tingle. Feeling so very blessed ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ โค๏ธ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŒ•

Giving thanks to God for being able to be back in the comfort of my own home. Have to return 2x a day to hospital for IV antibiotics and obs for the next ten days, but itโ€™s worth it. #grateful #Hickmanline #serioussepsis #bilateralbreastcancer #breastcancer #kadcyla #chemo #chemotherapy #cofepeeps

Hospital logistics means I wonโ€™t be discharged until tomorrow. And while disappointing, thatโ€™s fine. Itโ€™s still much earlier than I expected.

Prayers welcomed my friends as my temp is spiking again as it did Fri night. Back up to 38.4 - 38+ is the danger zone. Hopefully paracetamol will do its job. Pls pray also for B who is in agony in the bay next to me after cancer treatment & in hospital on her 28th bday ๐Ÿ˜ข #prayerrequest #cofepeeps

Would welcome prayers. Looks like Iโ€™ve just started on round 2 of septicaemia ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ They already know the infection so antibiotics already tailored. This is really scary. But.

Wide awake on the ward after a new patient is moved into the next bay. And then suddenly, from nowhere, I overhear a profession of thanks & the response, โ€˜No problem. God is loveโ€™. Profoundly moving. God is amidst us, holding us in our trouble and pain. #hospitallife #blessed #chemo #cofepeeps

I genuinely think itโ€™s the latter. Iโ€™m regularly surprised by how little folk in training for ministry know about musical liturgy let alone choirs and mission etc. Itโ€™s a resource issue. That doesnโ€™t just mean moneyโ€ฆ

Finally transferred to haematology/oncology ward @ 5am. So relieved. Trolley beds are uncomfortable! V happy w/ my large 2-bed room on a modern ward w/ its own loo, next to a window which opens.
