LMP Christmas

Mass, art at St Stephen Norbury (nice that Julie came) and voted. It is a right pain that we have to go over the hill to do so. Excellent Christmas meal at Langley Park golf club Beckenham circle most enjoyable. What a depressing prospect. Brexit and Boris. Climate change not addressed. We need proportional representation. One Green MP is not enough and so few Lib Dems. Scotland demanding to break away. The editors of newspapers who advocated Brexit have done this to our country. Who will do the jobs when so many leave? The Tories care only about money. At least Corbyn stuck to his principles even if some of them were wrong. Mass, a delightful lunch at Rosemary's and the house is transformed. Sang with Welcome choir at Lmp concert at St John's. It was fun!  A varied programme with good soloists. 

70 years since Hiroshima

We both went swimming and Nick came to sort out Liz's laptop. He was here most of the day! There were Trojans. I got 2 buses to Tavistock square and read Bonhoeffer letters from prison. Tube strike made traffic slow. This was the first time I had been to the commemoration of Hiroshima and I was 15 minutes late. Bruce Kent was compering and we heard the peace choir and some songs and poetry, also Jeremy Corbyn the local MP (impressive) Revd Nagase and Baroness Jones who is green, Had picnic and met Zenobia and we walked to Friends House for the impressive interfaith service and saw lots of friends including the Niechials! Judith is a Quaker. Asked Diana about the Greek Cypriot and Israel question. Hazel Morgan sang a song well. I dropped off and missed the lighting of the Hiroshima candle! I told William I would not make a good Quaker! No 10 bus to the hall - very hot and crowded and slow but got to Scriabin discussion - he was clearly mad!  Interesting prom conducted by Oliver Knu...
