The organist librarian

Lots of Cathedral folk at Sharon's - chatted to Catenian couple from Malta, Fr Tim, Julie from Nigeria, young lady from Zimbabwe, man from Ealing originally from Warsaw.Lots of nice eats including salmon, ham and Christmas cake and champagne. I was driving and gave Patrick and couple from Thornton Heath lifts. Today had a lie-in and took stuff up to Glyn Close - nearly all snow washed away. Watched Polar Express and loved it! Watched Upstairs Downstairs 2 and 3, Miss Potter (what a delight!) and a bit of Liverpool Christmas Eve service.

Sunday evening to Vauxhall for Sharon's party. Chatted to servers Francis and Patrick and met the Powell twins and their parents. They run the music at Kingston. Monday a holiday and to 11.30 a.m. memorial mass at Vince's home for him and his brother said by Fr Gabriel. Lovely lunch and enjoyed chatting to the nuns from Slough. Watched Cranford, ballet, Christmas lecture, War Horse background, La Boheme and An Englishman in New York with John Hurt. Small Island was an excellent drama earlier in the month. I have entering dates in my new National Gallery of Ireland diary from my In memoriam file.
