Boris Johnson and Nicholas Kynaston among others!
No swim so far this week - not sleeping well when Liz away! Monday to briefing on CIPFA survey at Earlsfield. CM late so library opened late. To Carmina rehearsal at Barbican City of London girls school. Andrew Greenwood looks like a younger Richard Attenborough and has not changed much. Some of the ladies were not watching - probably Royal Choral society older generation? Tuesday spoke to Liz - move is likely to be on Friday. Halifax slow over Bruce's mortgage.
Wed spoke to Ann on skype. To Interfaith group 14 came including 4 new ones (David Chapman who is Jewish) Sr Margaret Shepherd of Sisters of Zion and retired from Council of Christians and Jews spoke so well. To St Michael's Sonny Son of Kansas played well - Dupre, Liszt, Widor and a rather fine romantic Prelude and Fugue by Elsa Barraine (1910-1999). To Wandsworth Town library for opening by Boris Johnson. SPoke to loads of councillors and staff and Boris himself. Told him how pleased I was that he mentioned books! He was amusing - he is no fool! People remarked on my dark suit and book tie - the one I wear for author visits! Chris Lally was there and Laurence. Sophie's little one is 2! It was most enjoyable and I found out about memory boxes from HDLS for the reminisence group. Paul McCue interested in Jimmy Burns talk. To Victoria Books etc closing and sale! Coffee and then to Nicholas Kynaston's magesterial recital at the cathedral - Elgar 1, Mendelssohn Prelude and fugue and the fiendish Reger variations. Best audience of the series. Spoke to Liz - Bruce should move on Friday.
