Derek Phillips
Monday was again a busy day. Caroline is off for the week. To tai chi for part of lunch hour. I only had 15 minutes lunch on Saturday because of doing 2 weeks money!
I swam 36 lengths. Tuesday only managed 6 as we were late at the pool and I had to get to Putney for the course which was dull - looking at regulations. I met Liz at Clapham Junction and we got the train to Cheam. At the station we met Mike Cornford, sometime librarian at Northcote on his way to swimming! He looks well. I played for Derek's funeral at St Christopher's just as I played in February for Bunty. There were 9 Catenian brothers present. We went to the lovely Old Rectory for sherry, tea and eats. Surprised to receive 2 bottles of fine wine from the family. Derek was a dear and we will miss him. He sang at St John'S Upper Norwood and went to St Joseph's college in the 20s. He never spoke of how he won the Military Cross in the war! We got the train to Clapham Junction and 49 bus to South Kensington and had a walk wound the Natural History Museum. To Baden-Powell House for Berlioz rehearsal with Brian Wright who is now older and seems to want a more proclaimed style than we are used to! Marilyn Clymo who was librarian at Battersea Park chatted so met two ex-librarians in a day!
