First Saturday at Balham

Woke early and up at 6. Dennis up too. So used to a 9 am start but watched Tai Chi for beginners DVD and did exercises for 60 minutes - very well done, from Australia. To Boots and spent voucher Philomena gave me on conditioner for shaver and 2 showergels. Busy day and did a bit of weeding and agenda for staff meetings during lunch hour! David Campling came - great to see him again, his son is 3! At 6 got bus to Tooting Bec and Mass at St Anselm's - cold church with high dome. Communion under one kind, no homily but a woman doing CAFOD appeal! 3 servers with hands in prayer position throughout! Quite a lot of people there and priest foreign - Slovak? Tube to Clapham Common and to Clapham library for launch of Bobbie Darbyshire's new book. Wine and canapes. Chatted to Lorinda and Bobbie was excellent. She signed a copy for me. Buses home as Liz at Grandma's.
