The organist librarian

To Hurtado centre Wapping for meditation on Mary Mother of mercy then St George's cathedral Southwark for Your Catholic legacy Mass, nice lunch and talk by the Mizens. Met a Catenian and a potential Catenian. Arcbishop Peter Smith walked off when I was talking to the Mizens but saw him later. To the Jewel house Westminster and Painting with light at Tate Britain and watched the dancers in the Duveen gallery. Fr Quaqoe at Mass. To Big iftar at West London synagogue - lovely food and saw Rabbi Neuberger and met several people.  Played Bliss Royal fanfares (which we had at our wedding!)  Thomas Hewitt Jones  Fanfare for Queen's 90th, Moore Nobilmente and Crown Imperial which was much appreciated as was Lead me Lord. Practised with 3. Evensong at St John Upper Norwood marking RSCM Music Sunday Howells Collegium Regale Britten Jubilate Deo When in our music God is glorified. Enjoyed the Royal coverage especially the Weir anthem.

I went to visit Grandma and she had at last had the scan on her leg. A blood clot had been found so she was on new injections to thin her blood. Dennis and AnnMarie came from Harlow and Dennis had a meeting with the whole team about the nursing and medical care so at last something is happening. I went round to Sharon's to take the cheque and she was busy working on the stunning flowers. Did various odd jobs -cleaning shoes, ironing while Liz was the hospital. Also listened to 2 proms on HDD - Concertgebouw playing Debussy and Wagner sublimely under Haitink and the Martinu piano concerto No. 4. Liz went with Ann to collect the cake and take the decorations to the Roehampton club. I went to hear Dame Gillian Weir at the cathedral. De Grigny, Vierne and a splendid Toccata, Fugue and hymn on "Ave maris stella" by Flor Peeters. The Reubke sonata was the most familiar piece and the highlight. Peter Eben's Moto ostinato and Finale seems pretty pointless even though "...
