Interfaith and good music

Tuesday we both swam and I did 20 - it was cold again.Liz went to Brick Lane and Somerset House and then to Acton. I went to Church House for the Boroughs interfaith forum. There were reflections on recent events and I said I was bewildered but wanted the police to do something about hate crime. The MP from the Dept of Communities a Liberal agreed. We heard about Near Neighbours and food banks. I left early to go to the cathedral for evensong sung by St Paul's cathedral. Stanford in G (did not like either soloist and the men were far too loud at the start of the Magnificat, Brahms Geistliche lied. Exc sermon by Canon Oakley. Nice to see Michael Durand (with a stick) and Anne Welch. To Alexandra Palace for fine recital by Gerard Brooks. Saw Jack Beeson and the Shepherds. Coleridge-Taylor, Lloyd Webber, Guilmant and Widor (with a sense of humour!) My tea came out of the cup! Reached Acton at 10.15.
Wed Sean ran about and his behind the curtains at music but he did join in some of it and took the chick up the ladder. To Hinsley room and a very fine talk by Revd Jim Walters chaplain to the LSE about the interfaith pilgrimage to the Holy Land. 13 came. I asked chemist about toothache and she said Ibuprofen. Whisky seems to help! Watched Wolf Hall and suffragettes both excellent.Delighted that Simon Moore has emailed.
