The organist librarian

To Balham for SDF and Marijana's farewell lunch. Sam is to come to BTP which is great and Ros replaces Fiona. DS came to tell staff and see RA. Liz had to take Grandma into King's for kidney infection so she had the car. I nipped in home and had a quick bite and then buses to Coulsdon. Practised in church for a bit but it was cold so we went downstairs. The acoustic in the empty building is excellent. Our final attempt at the Byrd Senex puerum was the best! Gibbons going well too. Long wait for 60 and 468 so I was frozen. Had hot toddy with whisky. Woke today to snow again!

Lie-in only a short swim as pool was busy. To Balham library where Marijana tried to tell me far too much in 4 hours. I was desperate for coffee by 11. She even went through the gameplan as if I have not done dozens of them! Mind you the budget is far bigger than my present one! Much of the infrastructure needs replacing like alarms. To BTP for a while and then to visit Louise and Ciarán. He had a nice sleep on my shoulder and was then grizzly - he has grown a lot. Underground to chorus reading CMQ. Nic did difficult bits of the MacMillan. Told Jean about the promotion. Liz was at confirmation class and then at the Jugged Hare.
