The organist librarian

To the panto Cinderella at St John's - very well done. I have not mentioned the incident after the match on Tuesday night. We heard glass smash and looked out and saw a bottle on the ground. It was only on Wed when returning from swimming that I saw the top left hand pane of the porch had been smashed. The outer skin had held. I removed the redundant display unit from the porch and the big stones from the front garden. Police support officer came in the afternoon and we marked valuable items. She said teenagers had slashed tyres so maybe the tyre I had to replace was not age! It is all very odd - why break that window? It seems the notices emails did not go last Sunday.

Farewell to Fr Duncan. We sang Litany to the Holy Spirit Peter Hurford and I got a clap for Toccata in D minor. I would have played the fugue but no time to practise as I just missed the early train. I was on the wrong platform! So 30 minute wait. Annoying especially as everyone got up to take me to the station.

To art and Iguassu is finished. To Dulwich Indian restaurant on Bromley Hill - food good but a long wait and noise level bad. Friday Liz took car on recall for airbag at 8 a.m. I went to see Sr Catherine at Mount Street and we had a good chat. I set up a meeting with Fr Leon and Carol for January as a result. To Royal Academy enjoying the decorated Mayfair shops on the way. A lovely exhibition of Leotard and interesting architectural drawings by Chris Wilkinson RA. Surprised that friends were expected to pay for the De Wall White so did not go to it. Did not go to guiding at cathedral as the school play was on and I saw it last year. Ciaran arrived with Louise and we took him with Dennis to Aladdin at St John's hall - it was hila...
