Organ recitals

Tuesday to return scores to Bromley public library - no interaction with staff at all! Had a sandwich and coffee at the parish church and went to Laurence Caldecote's recital. Christopher Town there. Nice to hear Harris Prelude in E flat again - Dad used to play that. Flor Peeters Aria, Darke, Smart - a pleasant programme. Laurence is based in Coventry. Served at farewell Mass for Archbishop Stack - I was book! Liz to Acton and I ate at Pret a Manger and to Vaughan House for inspiring session on Foretaste of heaven with Mark. Interesting discussion about getting people to join groups and I tried to change my meetings to Saturday nights without success - no room available. So I have pulled out of leading a Thursday group as room 1 is not suitable. Slept OK at Acton but woke early. Back to music with Tamba at Brentford. Merle was there with her Dad who no longer works at St Paul's school! To collect Liz's ring and it was not ready! To Mass at Chiswick and Fr Graham was on! He seemed pleased to see us. Lunch at Carluccio's - bruschetta, ravioli, tiramisu which Ciarán loved. Decided not to go swimming so to Ravenscourt Park and had tea there. No time to get to St Mary le Bow lecture on Libya. To Cathedral recital by Michel Bouvard - good audience.Alain and Bach and Durufle well played but I dropped off in the De Grigny. Pieces by his grandfather most attractive. Printer installed - it is wireless.
