70 years since Hiroshima

We both went swimming and Nick came to sort out Liz's laptop. He was here most of the day! There were Trojans. I got 2 buses to Tavistock square and read Bonhoeffer letters from prison. Tube strike made traffic slow. This was the first time I had been to the commemoration of Hiroshima and I was 15 minutes late. Bruce Kent was compering and we heard the peace choir and some songs and poetry, also Jeremy Corbyn the local MP (impressive) Revd Nagase and Baroness Jones who is green, Had picnic and met Zenobia and we walked to Friends House for the impressive interfaith service and saw lots of friends including the Niechials! Judith is a Quaker. Asked Diana about the Greek Cypriot and Israel question. Hazel Morgan sang a song well. I dropped off and missed the lighting of the Hiroshima candle! I told William I would not make a good Quaker! No 10 bus to the hall - very hot and crowded and slow but got to Scriabin discussion - he was clearly mad! Interesting prom conducted by Oliver Knussen (who was wearing ablack cardigan and slippers) - Dukas, Schuller and Scriabin. Not so keen on the Turnage. Watched Proms extra.
