He sang at Great Vespers and, when that had finished and the Lity was about to start, he felt the need to go to the reception room for a coffee to keep his strength up for the rest of the services. In the reception room there were some monks of the monastery who were also psaltes and a discussion took place about church singing; Diako-Yannis said at one point: ‘I see Father David’s still going strong’.
