Watched amazing drama about Hattie Jacques and her menage a trois. Swam 30 Friday a.m. To Debenhams Warehouse in Croydon but no refund - can exchange but they only do up to size 16! Not pleased! To osteopath and Imogen worked on my left shoulder with 2 students looking on. Tutor says 4 weeks treatment and use cream twice a day. To Royal Academy for friends day to see Modern British scuplture. People seemed more interested in Glasgow boys. Some fine earlier works like Epstein and Gill and some literally rubbish. Damien Hirst's thing full of flies - yuk! Pottered at home doing odd jobs. Liz painting at Glyn Close. Last night cooked my first risotto! It was delicious.

Lie-in and watched Songs of praise Big sing and An Island parish. To St Michael's for last recital of the series. Dorio was there. Attila Laszlo from Slovakia played Couperin, JSB, Mendelssohn Sonata in C minor and an nice Abendlied by Dezso Antalffy-Zsiros (who would want to announce that?) and Fantasia by Istvan Koloss. To Coulsdon on bus to see Vickie. Planned up to end of January. Train to Royal Academy for the excellent Wild thing sculpture exhibition. Loved the Eric Gills and some of the Epsteins not so keen on the Gaudier-Breszkas. Walked via Pall Mall through St James Park - half moon just showing through the clouds. How beautiful and noble London is! An interesting talk on Jesus the Jew in the Jerusalem chamber for the central council of Christians and Jews by Rabbi Holdstein and Dr Taylor.
