New president

 Slept 8 hours which is great! Blackfriars, St Martin's (late), St John's Mass at 10. Sarah said the Marsden were taking people with high temperature in for protection. Faith action on child poverty and foodbanks. The problem is much bigger than I realised and something must be done about minimum wage and more support. Father Brown. Inauguration of Joe Biden who gave a great speech. Samuel Bristow playing

Mendelssohn at St Paul's very impressed. Vespers from Brompton oratory a bit dull. Year at Kew. Royal Scot visits North Yorkshire railway. Evensong for Epiphany from Ely beautiful. 

Thursday St Martin's, Skype with Ann, Blackfriars, Clare Chalmers. Churches trust Jon Cannon on mediaeval styles. Father Brown. Natural history museum. Gresham lecture on Scriabin. Watched the rest of The Cherry orchard NT at home. Zoe Wanamaker led a great cast. KCC Unity service on zoom - the music was dire, one reader in the dark, another out of focus, echo at St John Holland Road. Very good sermon URC minister. Rowan Williams St Martin's autumn lecture on faith and hope excellent. John O'Sullivan and Anne Gallagher died - so sad.
