Catenian clergy night

Swam 20. To Heythrop and have lost about 400 words of essay and written another 300 so not so bad. William James is interesting and clear. To college Mass at 1 p.m. 2 guitars we sang Bodley setting, We come to share our story, lovely Haugen Psalm 23 and a silly Appleford song about turning the world upside down. Priest from Oz. Fr Rocco and Sr Isobel very chatty at coffee in quiet room - Fr Rocco keen to start interfaith group. To M & S to get new dress shirt and to sacristy to get my black shoes. Home and changed and Liz wore her new outfit which is lovely. Picked up Matt Oliver at East Croydon. The meal was good but I was not best pleased that brothers were not looking after our guest Matt. We sat with Gerry and Eileen, Fr William from St Chad's who was fascinating on interfaith in Nigeria and Fr Maccarthy from South Croydon. 2 others on our table did not show. The meal was good but service slow. Sr Sheila very friendly. Speeches were dull but Matt was excellent on More than Gold and got everyone interested. Interminable raffle and ended at 11.15 - far too late. Took Matt to station and to bed. Friday swam 30.
