Last night

To St Augustine's Kilburn for Christian Muslim forum on spirituality and learning. Good lunch and discussion on grace at Islamic Centre of England. The speakers seem to have different views on what the subject really is. This afternoon to the Royal Academy, Zhang Jian-Jun draws human shapes! Hurrah! The Garden has examples from 250 years of the RA schools including wonderful Landseers. I sketched self-portraits by Helene Schjerfbeck sad, frightened? and was very struck to see a lady in the street with the same expression! Fr John celebrated Mass and quite rightly had a go at the noisy French servers before Mass. The choir from St John's Wood sang really well. Jamie Barton was great and a most enjoyable international Last Night. Murray John who has been to 500 proms did the chaplet really well.
