Harrow-on-the-hill

Liz to Heythrop and I got train and tubes and bus to Harrow school and St Mary Harrow-on-the-hill with a fine view for RSCM revalidation as an examiner. Did sight reading section in one test and observed 2 others - a fine alto whose sight reading was dreadful! Ginette and Frances there. On tube back to town with John Wardle news came through that Fr Leonard had emailed from All Saints. I am baffled that such a good interview should not lead to an offer of the job. What are they really looking for? Why was it all so unbusinesslike? There was no mention of a contract, job spec, references, application form, references, CV! I did not even know it was to be a full interview and there was noc hance to try the organ first. Vespers and Mass with first scrutiny with Fr Gerard - lots in the RCIA group. To St George's tavern for Gary Sieling's birthday but we did not stay long - too noisy and service very slow. Watched library in Sarajevo programme also first part of Catholics second programme.

Clergy supper and outreach at Coulsdon

40 lengths on Thursday and Friday. Busy at work with survey. Fell asleep during "The history of Christianity" part 1 on BBC4. Friday to Catenian clergy supper - 70 at Addington Palace golf club but not many Norwood brothers or clergy. Picked up Fr Sixtus at St Chad's and Fr Tim Dean from the cathedral at East Croydon which was very busy because of rain! Fr Tim spoke well and enjoyed the evening which was too long thanks to a raffle. Good meal - roast beef. Home at 11.45! Woke early and lie-in - Liz fed up as I was out again this time for St Andrew's day on outreach at the very attractive Holy Trinity centre, Wallington where Freda Curtis's funeral was held. An interesting discussion in small groups and useful. Home to find a match on so parked outside Hyacinth's and tried to find reason for water overflowing onto back roof - baffling!
