The organist librarian

Portraits in acrylics with John O'Donnell at Bethlem museum of the mind. 2 hour session. That chatterbox was there again! The new exhibition is interesting and includes Nijinsky and Wain. I did not go to organists AGM as I would have struggled to get to the cathedral in time. Watched Home is where the art is series. St Thomas-on-the-Bourne, Farnham choir sang beautifully at the cathedral. Palestrina, RVW and Ola Gjelo. Fr John gave an excellent homily and we had an appeal from Aid to the Church in need.Played Guest on St Fulbert, Michael Fleming on Noel nouvelet and Gordon Slater Easter Alleluya. We sang "Sing God's Easter people". Fr Jerry blessed the Risen Lord icon and he will be in St John Caterham until the end of the Easter season. Long chat to "Dan" the homeless man and was quite blunt with him about common sense decisions. I do not think he wants help. To St Paul's to hear Graham Tomlin Bishop of Kensington on freedom. Christians have the free...

An enjoyable workshop on still life with acrylics at Bethlem and John O'Donnell's paintings really are affirmations of life. Liz at St Joseph's college celebrations. Great preaching at Standing together. If you have woodworm in your posterior you need to get and do something! Saw the Cardinal and Marcin - his address was really excellent! Bishop of Southwark and Bishop of Croydon and lots of black church leaders who really know how to get the crowd going. Big demo about Sudan. A very long confirmation but all did well. Bishop John Wilson was just great. I am now pretty tired after a long stand this afternoon but so glad I went. I found myself shouting Amen in response to the preachers!!! Jesus is the answer to violence and knife crime but we need youth centres, libraries, more and better housing, more police on the beat, more care for each other. All this costs money and time but we must have hope. Tosca from Met on radio 3 with Calleja.
