"Objective" art

Posted parcel to Jersey and returned incorrect frame for graduation photo. I was early at Charing Cross so went to see the Titians in the National Gallery. Met at Starbucks Octave group - first meeting. 6 came and John organised it. Looked at the Buddhist laon terracotta in British museum then to Friends house off St Martin's Lane to see slides of "objective" art  and a video of dancers. Liked the Leonardo and Blake and Chartres but not the Sphinx. No story, just the face trying to express the divine through the human. It is was well done but we could have talked about how objective art can be. Interesting lady who is Orthodox and works at Trinity Hospice. Decided to come home and joined up for  meetups so I can post my events. Practised with the boys while Liz and Julie dealt with the confirmation candidates who were enrolled at Mass. Vaughan girls sang Vaughan Williams and Terry Mass very well. Fr Paolo on good form. Gave mosaic to Fr Michael who is moving to Chelsea. Home to watch Tortelier, University challenge and bake off. The BBC programme on Menuhim featured superb Bach played with Leon Goossens.
