The organist librarian

The boys are chilling out listening to Harry Potter! To Croydon crem for funeral of Alan Barley. There were some fine tributes .I know Pauline from art group and only met Alan twice both of those occasions at the exhibition and we was so happy for Pauline. The reception was at Cricket for change opposite Bandon Hill cemetery. The real mystery was recognising a couple at the centre - he is called Peter Sellars but we could not work out where we had met! Fr Dominic rang about Christopher's bid. Barry Williams rang and had a long chat. The publicity for National Organ day at Caterham done. Watched the Queen's jewels, Only connect, Red arrows in America and Michelangelo. 

Daniel Moult played brilliantly at Bromley Parish church - about 50 there and nice cakes! Jean Francaix's Suite Carmelite interested me. It is 6 portraits of Carmelite nuns. I know a nun just like No. 4 - rushing about and constantly chatting with little apparent conclusion! I drove there behind an old lady going at 20 mph. On the way back no less than 8 drivers waved their thanks as i waited for them. Courtesy is not dead! Sme work in the garden. Played Elgar on the piano - Salut d'amour, Chanson de matin, Enigma variations. Fr Jerry wants to discuss Shona taking practice on first Sundays. Emailed and have deputy organised. A couple of singers withdrew - everybody is making excuses. Barry Williams thinks St Michael's behaved very badly and Coulsdon not much better. Watched Sewing Bee, Venice and Versailles programmes. Upstart Crow about Shakespeare is funny.
