The organist librarian

Swam, art (finished painting and started new one),  met Sr Catherine at Farm Street - she is very nice and a bit  like Campion. I shall certianly want to continue with her as my spiritual director.  Ai Weiwei and Waterloo cartoon at RA - mixed reactions! Some brilliant, some junk. Also 2 Japanese artists at Burlington House.Tea and then walked to the cathedral via St James Park. Mass in the crypt and South London Provincial President's visit. Fergus on great form. Unimpressed to not be at top tale but a good meal with lots of wine. Started reading Marcus Aurelius - book belonged to K.

Last night listened to The Choir featuring Paul Mealor whose anthem was sung at the Royal Wedding and the Proms. Watched programmes on Ai Weiwei and British painters of the first world war period. Woke at 2 am so read about Buddhist teology and eventually dropped off. Swam 38!

To St Dunstan in the West which is a Romanian Orthodox church as well, and heard part of the Medtner piano sonata in G minor, Op. 22 played by Chisato Kusunoki. To Tate modern to see the amazing sunflower seeds by Ai Weiwei and recorded 2 video comments for the artist. The Gauguin exhibition was excellent but so many people! Cream tea in the friends room with a wonderful view but hard to hear evensong on the radio. Also looked around the main exhibits and films by Rosa Barba. To chorus and saw Oxford Street lights - umbrellas and boxes and blue arches in New Bond Street. Merlin rehearsal with Rob Lane. Watched The Apprentice.
