The organist librarian

Art at St Stephen Norbury and good progress on the Bali painting. So glad I went to see Mrs Lowry and son. Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy Spall are perfect and it so reflects Northern attitudes. I was reminded of Auntie Nellie. I too want to paint with love and feeling! To Tate Modern Takis can't be taken seriously. Olafur Eliasson very interesting especially Beauty but I hated the fog! Cream tea in the members room. Excellent talk on Mary in the New testament at Southwark cathedral by Dr Jeffrey John. I have the notes if anyone would like a copy. I also went to Bankside gallery and looked at the Society of watercolour displey - the prices are too high! 

Mass and art and good progress -had not been for 2 weeks and the party invites were well-received. I went to the RGS to see the Shackleton platinum print photos by Frank Finley.  An interesting discussion on Saint-Saens and a satisfying Prom with the RPO conducted by Charles Du Toit who presented with the gold medal of the Royal Philharmonic society. Falla, Joshua Bell playing Lalo and S-S 3 - what's not to like? Friday to Mass and watched The Man in the orange shirt a very fine 2 parter by Patrick Gale with Vanessa Redgrave. Listened to Judith Weir prom.
