Ian Coleman

Monday was a horrid day. The caretaker did not turn up so there was a mess not cleared up from the afternoon event so the yoga teacher was most unpleasant although we did our best to clear up and Chris came back to lock up. Tuesday spent time rearranging shelves ready for the self issue machines arrival. This was a waste of time as on Wednesday my superiors moved stands as they saw fit. No doubt yet another boss will have other ideas next week. Am I branch librarian? Thursday brought the news that SP had to go to see her grandmother in Barbados so we will be short. I wish I could retire now and not in one year's time!
Wednesday the picture frames arrived so the pictures are up at last! Spent time using the new Sebo which is most impressive. To St Michael's for Ian Coleman's recital. He played his own sonata and the Elgar sonata. Enjoyed baked potato with Francis, Michael and Ian. He was delighted we are come and he played well. Fed up with old computer - took ages to do October music list. Watched programmes on the Pope and the Vatican. Mark Dowd's programme better than Peter Tatchell's.
Thursday the Pope arrived in Scotland and we watched the Glasgow Mass. Liked the new MacMillan Mass setting and imaginative music. I went to the Victoria and Albert to see the Raphael tapestries from the Vatican with the cartoons - lovely. It was busy so enjoyed the mediaeval gallery and had tea and met a family from Denver. Also a priest I see at the cathedral.
