To Fragile Beauty at V and A Most shocking of all The falling man from 9/11 and the assassinated Robert Kennedy. The inherent violence of the US very obvious with a powerful Civil Rights section. It seems male nudity is now acceptable. A real treat! Ben Bloor playing at the Guards chapel - beautifully controlled. I am going to play For the fallen much more slowly and not get carried away on the big runs up to the climaxes! Martin Ford made us very welcome and the Harrison organ is a joy to play! I played two Andrew Moore pieces. Liz had council meeting. Mastermind. Worked on jigsaw.

A sad day for the Church and the victims with the Archbishop of Canterbury resigning. He really had no choice. The Tablet has an excellent article about his possible successor and how those round the table discussing this would be passing a loaded revolver to avoid being the one to succeed him. Who would want that job now?

Visit to Mortlake to see his grave tent will be Feb 19 at 11. Henry came and did painting VC and poppies. Richard Harries on George Herbert at SM. Missed CCA meeting. Minutes Emma's speech summarised.
