Lockdown in Holy Week

Zoom quiet time meditation. I seem rather subdued today. The prospect of the Triduum I think. Normally I would play for 4 long services and sing at evensong. Maybe a home Triduum with suitable music will help. Morning prayer from Portsmouth, Spy Wednesday, Fr Andrew at cathedral, Upper Norwood and Salcombe. A profound meditation on how the hierarchy has been turned upside down from Fr Daniel French. Fr Paul Grogan is a delight. I ahve been working on the life story and have reached 1991. Also did some painting. Vespers from the cathedral.

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!
