The organist librarian

Left at 8 and home at 9.30 too long a day. Arnos Grove and prayer at Our Lady of Lourdes (the plan was to go to Mass there at 6.30 - no chance).  Coaches to Bahai cemetery Southgate then on to beautiful Jain temple Potters Bar (been there). Cockfosters Christ the King midday prayer unaccompanied dung by Chemin Neuf (it was not good) and lunch there provided for us. To mosque where I dropped off. Local imam dull. Everything takes so long getting on and off coaches. Harakrishne centre was more interesting and nice meal at Sikh gurdwara. Came back on tube with Rita and William. Liz at school. 

To St Chad's to put up the Catenian banners early and leave leaflets in the porch. Discovered Mass intention for our deceased brothers not in newsletter so rang Fr Bartholomew and Bill who spoke to Fr David and sorted it but I was furious! Fr Paul noticed so I told him. Ran through Stay awake! Played Crown Imperial not very well, last part was better at the end of the service. Got back to St Chad's as people were coming out so gave out some leaflets but impossible to get into the hall for the fete. Derrick and Sheila were there - not helping of course. Colin could not come so a pathetic turnout. To Victoria and met Liz - train from East Croydon very crowded. To Sion centre for discussion on ethics between Michael Barnes and Anil Goonewardene a Buddhist. Met a lovely nun from Hanwell. Delivered mosaic to Brian just before Mass at cathedral for end of Year of Faith - he was deacon. Home to hear Britten Noyes Fludde from Aldeburgh. Programme on Morecambe and Wise.
