Catenians

Monday swam 20. Back to mosaic and Linda back from Greece. Tai chi and 9 in class! To Heythrop and saw Michael for 30 minutes - says essays are good solid work. In library for an hour checking Vatican documents and references. Liz had been to see Kim, Ausra and Tony -seems she submitted wrong essay (hence the plagiarism hearing). Told her to keep calm and carry on! To Balham library to get scores. To Glyn close to get box of wires and lady came to recycle them. I rescued nice headphones and microphone for my laptop. To Catenians and Frank Savage Provincial President was there. He presented the circle with the book about Jimmy Mizen which I want to read! It was a happy evening with some great jokes. But only 8 of us and a lot of visitors!
Tuesday swam 20. Liz got her laptop cleaned up - 114 items needed removing! Watched the Coronation 60 year commemoration from the Abbey. Terence was on duty. Stack and Hopes represented RCs and other faiths in prominent positions. The reformed rabbi who was with us at Woolwich was late. Superb music - Parry, RVW and Walton Te Deum - the Queen was in the car before the end! Bob Chilcott's anthem was effective.
