The organist librarian

Picked up Henry at nursery and I was soon surrounded by little boys fascinated by no hair and hearing aids. Henry ate a lot and played ha ppily. He is staying overnight. He took a time to settle.  Took Henry to nursery - he slept right through after 3 Caterpillar video stories and 3 stories. He was keen to go on a bear hunt but I said the bear's asleep! Have ordered a new mobile phone.  First visit to St Matthew Bayswater a fine Walker organ and Charlie Warren played Widor 5 well. A friendly welcome. To Horniman museum Marilyn Harper played chamber organ. Norman on good form. Nuala was there and Jim Sands. Mass at the drome full choir Rubbra and Palestrina. Catholic creators UK addressed by actor Alex McQueen and author Piers Paul Read. Met Stephen Tsang.

To St George Beckenham for Charlie Warren. He stepped in at 3 days notice. He is RC and was scholar at Merton so knows Ben and Michael Nicholas. He sang at the oratory. John Webber and Adrian were there. His Franck 2 was not terrifying as Gillian Weir required! Left car at Kent house and took 4 pictures to be framed. £170. Francis Crick institute is most impressive and has an interesting free display. The Buddhism exhibition at British library is excellent. Tea and then Mass with Fr John. Quite a few not there including the 2 who were to be acolytes! Liz did not get on my train so waited at Kent House for her. Finished Anthony Doerr's All the light we cannot see which is riveting. Callum played Leighton. Victoria choir under strength. Interview with Prince Andrew.
