Spotlight

Another extraordinary day. To see Spotlight (£5 pensioner rate at Clapham Picturehouse!) This is a brilliant film but deeply disturbing. The extent of clerical child abuse is truly horrifying and every bishop and cardinal who hid it should resignTo the Wellcome to see the excellent Tibetan tantric exhibition. Met Sara Thorley and earlier in the day Jeremy Travers. Candlemas at St Paul's with incense and procession. Holst, Hassler and Eccard and the Bach prelude. Excellent sermon on the dark and light in the church.. Only in that way can the Church be seen to trying to move forward. Secrecy must be challenged.Final pleasure of the day Alexandra Palace with John Pryer who played the Dorian and Katherine Smith trumpet playing Handel, Haydn, Lovelock and Street and joining in the brilliant improvisation on the Teddy Bears' picnic! Nice chat to Jack and Derrick. Quick journey to Acton just caught the Overground at Highbury! Wed took Sean to Tamar's and he sang the monkeys song. Took Ciaran to swimming and he is doing really well. Came home early as Liz babysat for Beavers. Watched Sport relief bakeoff and programme on Kids company. 
We both saw a small mouse at Acton - ugh!
