The organist librarian

Lie-in reading the Rabbi's daughter. I fell on my knees one entering the gallery last night - just got knocked in the rush and I'm OK but found I was dropping things today including tea on my trousers.

Paul was in a small digger spinning round and round! To St Stephen Wallbrook for Richard Hall and Midori Jaeger playing Brahms, Martinu and Part on cello and piano - quite mesmerising - my drawing not very good.

Set off to go to Whitechapel idea store to be interviewed by Zara but she cancelled so the plan to visit the boys fell away. However I really enjoyed Richard Hall's playing at Wallbrook.

To Brook Green for annual servers dinner. We sat at round tables with no top table so we enjoyed Fr Andrew and Fr Philip's company. Archbishop Peter Smith spoke well especially as lots of youngsters there. Good meal too.
