She said "Good, I wish all our patients were as good as you, but you are here for a blood test for cholestorol!" I said "OK can you check my little finger" to which she replied "Fingers crossed it will be fine". o St Stephen Wallbrook Harrison Cole (there's a name ontrend) played Vierne and Langlais Plainte - very moving.

Good Friday

Woke early and we all went to the station together as Ann and Paul went off to Reading. Served at morning prayer. I was wearing the scarlet wimp as mitre bearer. Choir sang the Vittoria and Anerio beautifully. To Trafalgar Square for the Passion of Jesus. Sat at the side and watched it on the big screen. It was very moving and well done. Liz went back to the cathedral and I went to St Michael's. There were 24 there and Paul gave a powerful sermon on God is dead - it's between me and God will not do. Home by 4.30 and Liz back around 6.45. Dennis came down. Songs of Praise from Bradford including Nardone A new commandment. Have found a lot of family history photos for York.
