Leak

 Monday Nov 1. Woke at 5 and dropped off B. Up late. Letter came about speeding course so booked it online and it is virtual. Electrician came and leak found in upstairs loo! Colette's meeting focused on militarism and the climate. Bruce Kent was there. To Selhurst and up to Victoria. Walked to buy frame from Snappyshots and then back to Marks to meet Nelson for tea. He was on great form looks a little grey in his beard. We walked over to the cathedral and I went to Mass . Mikey gave a great homily. Procession was blessed outside by Bishop Nicholas. Fr Damian, Fr Steven, Fr Dominic, Alison, Sr Elizabeth and Martin Prendergast about 80. I did not attempt the walk to Farm St. In any case Liz wanted me home so got fast train to Selhurst. Turns out she had dropped Clare's keys so we got the set from Ann Marie but they did not work. At that point Clare came home from Heathrow so I came home and watched University challenge and Blair and Brown last episode. 

Tuesday All Souls day B, SM (Sally) S exc homily from Dean Andrew. Emails re SLIFG. Essex zoom. Cleared up garden. Quiet time. Listened to more of the Glasgow interfaith vigil. Piano. Zoom with Jerry. Glasgow vigil LSi not well filmed and sound not great. Bake off. Dropped off. Finally managed to book a swim after many tries.

Up early and to the pool. It seems we seniors now pay £1.55 each time plus 25p non-returnable for a locker token. No membership card either - use your phone. I swam 20 lengths. You have to book for the sauna but I would not use it any way at present - too dangerous with 4 people breathing in there. Only one shower with a door apart from the disabled one. The numbers thing is odd too 20 when I arrived and about 12 when I left. I have emailed councillors and sent messages to Croydon contacts. Sion centre Australian Michael Trainor on Luke. Meditation. Getting dark at 3! Practised Moonlight sonata for memorial service. Magda's zoom only 4 there! 3 from Uk , 1 Ireland so where were the Europe contingent? Clare came down and finally got her test posted online. Fell asleep on settee watching Yorkshire farm, repair shop and Come dine with me. 

Thursday SM, S and B. Liz to Guy's physiotherapy. To art and started 3 small pictures. Poster for Nov 28 has appeared leading to much discussion on What's app. Ordered the plaques for the trees. Very good Westminster synod listening zoom J and P with 2 bishops. I was much encouraged.
