The organist librarian

Swam 20. Spoke to Paul 'Fuzzy; and he has been on to the college chaplain and archivist still  waiting for the Head! Booked overnight stays in S.A. look really good. Rob Sceales is coming - the replies so far are great. To Bromley library and got 11 scores - staff very helpful. Saw a lovely book about the English landscape and composers. The only one not found was Gorecki. Late meal and just got to pre Prom talk on Mahler in time - it was full and I was sleepy. I spoke to the floor manager about being 'on air'. Waking up too early and working on dissertation adjustments. Excellent concert Mahler 2 Janssons conducting Bavarian radio SO. The chorus in white tie and tails came on after part 1 - they were amazingly quiet so much so that I couldn't hear them! Stayed on for Bach conducted by Gardiner - excellent but sleepy. Saw Peter Stevens and Joey Draycott from afar.Home by 12.15. 

Swam 22. Did some research for talk looking back through the blog - in the end I had too much material! To Corpus Christi Brixton - church open so able to sit in there and wrote in book for Fr Tom. Hall was OK and showed films on laptop. Maud and Xavier spoke well and all went well. Xavier particularly liked the mosaic from Jaipur so gave him the copy and Music and Liturgy as well. Nice lunch and a good turnout. To Heythrop and guess what Joey Draycott did not turn up to talk about his weird dissertation so chatted to 2 philosophy students and also saw Lokahi foundation director. Larry is off to Crete. Read some Eckhart reviews. To Angel and meditation centre. Laurence Freeman was late so started with meditation and he gave an excellent talk on Jesus and mentioning Dalai Lama and Panikkar. I asked a question about rainbow body and Eckhart. Nice eats and met Bridget, Maggie, Chris, Natasha and Liam. 30 there. Finished at 9.20 and train delayed coming home.
