The organist librarian

Back to church and a warm welcome from Fr Paul. Shock is that Terry Fuller the deputy organist died and Stephen had to play. Also now using Common Worship lectionary so new psalm setting by Andrew Moore. Alan's house has twice been burgled including removing a fireplace so gave contact details for St Dominic, Waddon. Drove to Acton and had a nice lunch at Acton Park cafe/ The boys were great. Liz had them both all day yesterday. Louise and Tom enjoyed their weekend and like EJ. We watched a programme on English public school boys from Radley and how they turned out. Monday took the boys to the childminder who is really nice. Dropped off at Clapham Junction only to find no mosaic and 3 buses to get home as the storm had stopped all the trains! Watched Educating Yorkshire.

Had a lie-in after a restless night during which I dreamed about the Queen! Sent off 6 CDs to Old Johannians in U.K. and John East. Per Thunarf from Stockholm played well at St Michael's. Gigout, Lemmens, Swedish composers and Hesse. Nice to see Dorio - he seems to be getting deaf. To dentist and had to wait. I am to have a denture and 2 top teeth taken out which should improve my smile! To meet Bruce at Queensway and hand over theatre tickets then back on bus to cathedral for excellent recital by Johannes Geffert from Cologne. Bruhns, Bach (with scores), Vierne, Schumann and Liszt. Saw Rosa, Martin Ball, Peter Stevens and Andrew Cessana. Watched Great British bake off and Educating Yorkshire.
