The organist librarian

Wurzburg library! To Rontgen's laboratory where he discovered X-rays. To St Gertrud's church - Gothic and rebuilt. To sewing shop where we bought little carol singers group. Spaghetti ice and chocolate in bistro then we split up. I visited the chapel at Burgerspital with a fine courtyard. To St Johannis the protestant church where someone was practising Franck on the organ! Sat in the lovely baroque garden of the Residenz in the sunshine and read Tablet. To shop next to the cathedral and bought postcards of art works. To Franciscan church and past the university church to St Stephen's where confirmation class was in progress. This too has a fine organ and a lovely crypt which was not burnt out. To St Peter's church Baroque and Carmelite church which had a pink organ case and horrid fresco behind the High altar. Nice statue of Terese of Lisiuex. Saw a man practising tightrope in the park - he fell off. Helga de Wall was at the flat and we had tea. We are taking Ann and ...

Dr Lennox deep in thought! More snow but we went with Ann to the magnificent Residenz where we saw the Hofkirche and had a tour in English. Wonderful Tiepolo frescos and mirrored room, also a lovely green lacquered room with a beautiful floor. Amazing how it has all been restored since the wartime devastation. To bookshop for lunch with chocolate drink. Tram to Kulturspeicher a modern art gallery in a concerted granary. Nice 19th century painting and concrete art from 20th century and also a special exhibition by Australian artists. To Paul's office and met Helga de Wall who is planning a visit to Australia. Shopping and a nice meal at Ann and Paul's then watching Fawlty Towers.
