The organist librarian

Vicky and Audra not there and practised organ and went through everything up to end of May. John announced he is not there on May 13 so Locus iste is replaced by Barry Stronge's piece. It was announced last week that Jo Richards is coming subject to CRB check. So why is the changeover not held over to June with a sendoff to me on a Sunday morning. It seems people are not coming to the at home on Sunday at Vicky's. Liz will not go to it. The advert went in the Catholic Herald today.Daniel Beach rang about the Bishop's visit in September and Jonathan asked us to sign the petition against police cuts.Choir helped to load files into the car.

Saturday started out fine but turned very wet so last day of book sale pretty quiet despite half-price bargains! Ended up doing newspaper cuttings as have done all preparations for going away. Liz rang to say Ford Escot had been attacked and passenger door jemmied but unable to remove radio. As it is old it's probably not worth repairing but it's a nuisance as it's useful to have as a run around. To Vespers (smoke) and Mass - new server started and Philip and Victoria were there. Fr Tim preached well. To Pitcher and Piano Kingsway for Daniel Beach's 30th birthday. Louise and Bruce did not show. Lots of singers there so "Happy birthday" was very impressive! Jonathan and Lisa and Gill. Lisa very nice - has been to South Africa and Jon is getting a Birmingham accent! Had Lincolnshire sausages. The noise got to me so we left around 10 and I drove home. Reread my 1972 diary about Holy Land and marked up our schedule - have been to about half the places!
