Dennis Kelly and the big band

Two Arts festival events at the library. The reading group welcomed Dennis Kelly and Ann. Only 6 came but all enjoyed it. I was quite honest and told the author "The ornament book" was difficult to read because of the short sentences and Italian English. The truth is one did not care what happened to the heroine as the author does not like plots! He was formerly a lecturer so had us doing readings and discussing elements of the novel!
At 2 p.m. the big band from Battersea Park school played outside despite light showers and wind and was very well receieved especially the steel band. Their teacher Andrew was pleased.
Fr Tim celebrated Mass and my librarian's red tie with the books was much appreciated. I must be doing something right as I not only got a ticket for the big Mass on the 21st but am also serving with Liz so I will give the ticket back to Canon Christopher. The arrangements are incredible and the Westminster diocese has a good blog about it all.
Watched Charles Hazlewood on Handel and half of the hilarious Eurovision contest. Predicted Norway would win although as Graham Norton said he was so cute he needed a slap. Our entry did well and had style and class which cannot be said for Armenia or Germany or Turkey!
