The organist librarian

To Mass. Chat to Ann Lennox on Skype. Produced servers rota. Clare came for coffee. To Spiritual directors supervision group at Holy Trinity Clapham. Along with 2000 others St Paul's cathedral first evensong (Purcell Hear my prayer, a modern anthem. Sadly could not get a single word in the psalm!) then Rowan Williams who was slower and clearer. Good to see William Rhind, Brian Pearce, Ken, Alan, Ivor, Alan Rainer and Sally.

Friday was a brilliant day. I was greeted at John Fisher school Purley by the head Philip McCullach and he sat in on the year 7 lesson. I was greatly impressed by the preparation on the Catenians and the Powerpoint went really well with lots of interaction. Juan's son's friend was in the class! To Selhurst and saw Steve Murphy - he is now retired. First spiritual guidance meeting with Ivan - I like him. We met in the Selhurst cafe but it was noisy. Liz went to Acton after choir. 2 hours life drawing at National Portrait gallery enjoyed it and did 7 drawings. Watched Citizen Khan and programme on Thomas Cromwell. Carpets cleaned after 3 years.

Swam, art (finished painting and started new one),  met Sr Catherine at Farm Street - she is very nice and a bit  like Campion. I shall certianly want to continue with her as my spiritual director.  Ai Weiwei and Waterloo cartoon at RA - mixed reactions! Some brilliant, some junk. Also 2 Japanese artists at Burlington House.Tea and then walked to the cathedral via St James Park. Mass in the crypt and South London Provincial President's visit. Fergus on great form. Unimpressed to not be at top tale but a good meal with lots of wine. Started reading Marcus Aurelius - book belonged to K.
