The organist librarian

To Mass at Anerley and an excellent homily on not judging others from Fr Stuart. Seneca "We carry other's vices in our eyes and our own vices on our backs". Fitted very well with Chris Chapman on Unconscious bias in life on Monday! To the Architecture displays at V and A and sketched some superb South Indian instruments. Natural history museum Wildlife photographer of the year excellent. Delicious BBQ at Acton.Enjoyed Sean's assembly. The Foundling museum has an interesting display on Hogarth and noise. Listened to some Handel.At the Interfaith lunch we heard about Buddhist hospital chaplaincy. To British library to see Leonardo. Intrigued by Jo Spence and Oreet Ashery Misbehaving bodies at Wellcome. Good to see Canon Christopher and Deacon William Lo at Mass. Byrd 4 part Mass. Sacred Heart of Jesus. Scripture and Violence University of Cambridge Inter-faith programme at LSE. It was all a bit academic but David Ford on scriptural reasoning was good.

Wednesday morning and a visit to Tate Britain to see the new exhibition. I am a member of the Tate. The audioguide was very well done but at 11.30 a.m. there were far too many people there. A queue for the cloakroom, a queue to get the audioguide (prebooked), a queue to see the smaller pictures - it became very wearisome and tiring. A fine exhibition but many of the pictures need to be seen close up and if everything is on timed entry why not control numbers better? I wrote as much in the comments book I was offered when I returned my audioguide. I returned home to complete the March music list in time for the March parish maagazine. It being Valentine's Day we exchanged lovely cards and I gave Liz a box of chocs which she is not supposed to eat being a weight watcher! We had an excellent dinner at home with Marks and Spencer cava with pink fruit flavouring. By the time we had drunk the whole bottle I soon dropped off! Still the joys of married life after 33 years are companionship...
