The organist librarian

Maundy Thursday to art and completed painting of Mum and Dad for May 9 Bereavement support day. Played Night so traurig William Wordsworth and Bach O sacred head. We sang To mock your reign and Ps 88. Good Friday 3 hours excellent meditations with art. Practised the Vigil psalms. Ben came and Susan but not the new soprano. Sketch of Picasso's portrait of Poulenc.   Watched BBC young dancer, Decline and Fall, jaguars. 

Having enjoyed "Decline and fall" I laughed even more at Evelyn Waugh's "Vile bodies" . Did Mr Fellowes get some ideas for "Downton Abbey" from him e.g. the motor racing?  Took Jack, Ciaran and Sean to Odds Farm. A bit cold for first day of summer but loads to do. We stayed as Louise was delayed at work - Tom is in New York with his Dad. We came home Thursday so no art. Lots of emails again!  Seán has arrived to stay. 5 minutes in Thomas the Tank DVD on. Looking at the wedding pictures he commented "My Daddy is a magician and my Mummy is a princess! " Lots of DVDs and sorting out toys in the garden. We went to bed very late. Enjoyed episode 1 of Versailles and programme on Heathrow. Asda late delivery. I seem to have developed a pain in my right neck - might have caught a chill at Odds Farm. Add to the discomfort in my right thumb.
