The organist librarian

Seán clearly copied Ann and Paul and John! I went to opticians and they fixed my lens. I led the spirituality day -not so many there and people left early because of the Rowan Williams event. Still it went well. On Acts, baptism, Evangelii Gaudium and funerals. Saw Fr Paolo at the break and met Pauline's friend. To Tate Britain friends room afterwards - horrid installation in the Duveen galleries. To cathedral hall for Silence in the City and Rowan Williams was great! He mentioned organists and answered my question about silence in the liturgy as done by Pope Benedict very well. Space round the words and movements, space in the psalms as well. Pam Winters and Elizabeth West were there! Lovely to see them again.

Monday no mosaic so no tai chi either. Back bad to start with. To Oakwood on train and tubes and met Elizabeth West and we went for a coffee - it was a bit noisy but we had a very useful chat and she gave me some good Buddhist contacts. She was a Sacred Heart nun and became a Buddhist meditator. I was there for about 1 and a half hours! Returned to Beckenham Junction where I picked up the car from Liz and sat with legs all bunched up to drive and back full of bicycle packing boxes! Delivered them to Glyn Close. I took newsletter item to St Chad's and saw Fr William. He is looking forward to the pulpit presentations this weekend. The meeting went very well and my gold conference tie caused plenty of comments. Vernon Warner was admitted and had good chats to him, Willie Britto, John Almeida and Philip Chandler. Tuesday back bad at first.
