Mass and coffee. I have not been to St Michael's West Croydon for some time. The organ recitals are no longer every Wednesday in the season.

Watched Japan programmes and checked guidebooks. Bruce rang about organs in Jersey to play. Antiques roadshow. Liz went to maths.

Had a quiet morning after last week's unpleasantness Had a break from Tamar's Pandemonium! 10 came to hear Joan Salter tell how her family were saved form the holocaust - her parents were amazing and lucky! 7 at Conversations for the soul and a stimulating discussion about Japan! I was early so sat and prayed during the chanting - love the sound of the bowl/gong and the chanting is done at high speed.A stimulating day considering I had felt tired after waking early.
