Full day

I told you about climbing the clock tower, but that was only a small part of my day.
Once again I failed to get into the Cini Foundation - I'll try again tomorrow. But I did see the Church of San Zacharia, the Greek Orthodix Church & it's Museum of Icons, The Correr Museum - well the paintings - wonderful Bellini's & Mantegna's then the tower.

Then I walked to Campo SS Giovanni & Paolo had a very late lunch & looked around a flea market before going into the Church to listen to a choir from New York. They were wonderful & sang a mixture of religious classical, modern & gospel music. I hadn't been into that church before, it is HUGE & also has wonderful Bellini paintings. Eventually I got back to San trovaso & had a glass of Prosecco in a bar before returning home.

Later the phone rang & it was the vicars wife - would I do a little job for her at church? They were both wondering who they could ask that was reliable & both said my name. I was flattered they thought so well of me. John-Henry came on the phone too & said they did wish I was staying permanently. But one of the joys has been going & enjoying worship & other activities with no responsibilities. I suppose I shoulkd have known I coudn't keep that up as I enjoy being involved.

Another busy day tomorrow, the weather looks marvellous again. Sheer joy!
