The organist librarian

Swam 20. Emmetts Garden looking lovely and fine stained gla ss at St Mary Speldhurst. Plenty to see in Tunbridge Wells museum.  A most enjoyable meeting and dinner at Tunbridge Wells Catenian circle. Lovely to see old friends and make some new ones! People need to sign up for provincial weekend so Brendan did a plug and so did I! We were at the Spa hotel early and could have had a swim. Fr Peter was ill. It was a bit odd that we were not sitting next to the President - the ladies did the seating plan! Home by midnight. Up early and to Acton by 8.10. Coffee at Fields and a rather damp sports day. Ciaran ran well and Sean behaved himself. Stayed in and Louise worked from home. Played Putt in the park which replaced the Acton park bowling green, Very nice and boys enjoyed it and the swings. 

Saturday Richard rang and said do nothing about Tablet otherwise it will stoke the fire of tittle tattle. BBC chorus only have 2 rehearsals for Beethoven 9 one of them for people who have not done it before! To O2 which I had not seen - it was pouring but I saw some of the building. The prayer space is a temporary structure near the tube station and completely neutral. A warm welcome and saw several interfaith folk. No RC Mass there as the diocese said people could be expected to find Mass at North Greenwich! They set off on the Greenwich interfaith walk and I came home very easily on tube and overground trains via Canada Water - much better than going to London Bridge. Drove to Southborough and arrived at Speldhurst 2.30 so time to play the organ (Andriessen) then got lost on way to Fordcombe but in time to hear the organist play Vivaldi/Bach and a guide spoke about the church - not that interesting. At last I played and then dashed off coming to Selhurst via Westerham and Warlingham....
