The organist librarian

Took Seán to Gambado Beckenham while Liz sang at funeral at St John's. He had a great time and we had lunch there. Went on carousel and dodgems together. I finished reading Monks and Muslims and started on Laudato Si' again. He slept so went to mosaic workshop West Norwood to get framed wood for portrait mosaic and prepared photo of Seán for it. More research on war graves and where they are. Louise rang when he was coming out of the bath and he was very reluctant to sleep! Watched Dickensian. Saturday Dennis came down and watched Snowchick about penguins. Took Seán home - Louise had a good time in New York and brought Lego sets. Mass at Holy Redeemer Chelsea with the Canon Provost speaking beautifully and heard well  - lovely church, small organ, cross on altar obscures view of priest! Watched programme on Goya and Father Brown and Great Barrier Reef/

Did a lot of work on the family tree and added photos. By putting them on Face Book 3 people related to Frank Woodhouse responded.  Back to the pool today. Did Catenian minutes and returns. To St George Hanover Square for  Alexander Pott 's excellent recital then Tate Britain for Artist and Empire which is fascinating.Watched Great Barrier Reef and Windsor Castle again and enjoyed Victorian Bakers. Took Sean to Snakes and Ladders for 3 hours and he enjoyed it. Singing and chatting a lot. Liz took Ciarán to swimming and I went to Croydon commissioning group meeting at St Michael's on urgent care. Very interesting and raised library cuts with Elizabeth Ash and Jane Avis our local councillor.  Read Walking backwards to Christmas by Stephen Cottrell. Refreshing view of the Christmas stories!
