The organist librarian

More work on the life story blog including photographing old photos for inclusion and finding diaries from 1962 and 1963. I had my first organ lesson in 1963 aged 16 so if you take away a gap of about 3 years when I came to London I have been playing for 50 years! Father Brown X 3 still quite a lot to catch up on. Cannot find the Bible Grandma and Granddad gave me but I am sure it will turn up. I am feeling much better for the rest and have finished the antibiotics. Cough is better too.sets Liz went to choir and did some shopping - she missed the airbnb lady - the refund is going through. Saturday made one of the new sets of drawers and wrote some more of the book. Amici Coro at Mass and they were good. Watched Dawn French.

To 8 a.m.Mass at St Mary's - the African priest went on at great length perhaps because the emeritus Bishop of Uganda Frederick was concelebrating?  Played theme from Elgar Symphony 1, slow movement of Bach/Vivaldi concerto, Andrew Moore and Leighton Fanfare. Very poor turnout - Bill read lesson from the choir loft! Only 7 there. Canon David Herbert.  Excellent Life story prom and intro with composer Murray Gold and Sir David Attenborough.  Discussion about the San Francisco SO and a fine Mahler 1 but why the Schoenberg and Cowell concerto? The pianist Jeremy Denk played with his forearms! Home within an hour.

Went to art and started the Cezanne Houses in Provence picture which I sketched in Washington. Liz came back from Acton, Catenian council in the evening and Philip came and had a few moans! Watched Life story and Masterchef professionals. Friday had a lie-in and sorted papers. Papered and painted cover above boiler. Did labels for new Catenian leaflets.
