The organist librarian

Woke too late to swim. Liz went to Kendal. To Mass. Moved to tears by the Dementia choir on BBC - so marvellous to think that music can help dementia. Watched Repair shop. To 220 Upper Tooting Rd for iftar hosted by Labour party.  Rizwan, Malik and Kate were there. Great food and company - enjoyed meeting Sofia and Peter. 

To Goodge Street and Malet Street garden for Ramadan Tent project ably run by Omar and his team. I spoke for 10 minutes and took 3 quotes from Pope Francis on dialogue especially with Muslims. Several people took fliers and photos of us! Delicious hot meal served after prayers. Most impressive. Home at 11.10.

Played Stanley and Karg-Elert to mark wedding anniversary and practised for recital. Sean remarked on Dambusters march and Bizet (menaning Verdi!). Also worked on Couperin Mass. Surprisingly for August 23 in church! Home for lunch. I was up early as did not sleep well and uploaded Paul's photos to Face Book. To Mary King's workshop in the Britten theatre. I was delighted that I was singing so well and enjoyed the session very much. Fell asleep in the preProm talk. I was first in the queue but there was not a large turnout. Very good singing and playing conducted by Runnicles. Liz got on my train at Streatham - she had been to the Iftar at the mosque marking the end of Ramadan and enjoyed it.
