Paintings

 Monday 9th Feb chat to Ann. Liz went to a new research project at Hammersmith hospital and had a bad journey. To aerobics only to find Morgana was taking it so I walked out and complained.

To Phoenix centre John Talking about South Norwood plaques. I dropped off! Patrick chatted about my art. CMF forum on converts. SM letter. SDEN on Lent. Call my bluff, Face the music, Father Brown.

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!
