The organist librarian

Heavy rain. Swam, mass by the time I came back roofers had fixed chimney and roof and cleared gutters. Art and started Lourdes painting. Lunch then to Keats House Hampstead Heath. An excellent tour. I have been to the Rome House and his grave. Sitting on bus at front buggy got on kid holding wet umbrella open which mother took off him. Guess who got wet? In depth discussion on Wagner with Stephen Fry and John Deathridge. It overran and had to rescue my bag from stage door. Super Philharmonia Prom. Webern went seemlessly into Mahler 10. Act 1 of Walkure great singing and playing. I dropped off and had to find place in miniature score! 

To Allen Morris's lovely presbytery in St John's Wood to take minutes of SSG trustees meeting. Lots of nice eats. 11 to 3.30 of concentration! Tea at Pret and bought birthday cards. Served vespers for Christ the King and Bishop John confirmed adults at Mass. As always he spoke well. QI and film about Lawrence followed by one about Keats.

To Heythrop for mass and then to Maria Assumpta convent for a challenging day about creation by Mary Colwell. My group came up with the idea of a Catholic environmental agency and networking. Saw shocking films of rainforest loss and wildlife. The bishops do nothing in the face of the overwhelming evidence. To vespers and Mass with Fr Paolo. Watched Diarmaid MacCulloch on English toleration and Bright star about Keats.
