Collected Parish choirbooks from Bloomsbury Baptist and heard part of Nicholas Wearne's recital. Traffic very bad because of Pride march so tube to Victoria. Martin Plunkett gave an excellent homily and Excelsis sang at Mass. To West Wickham for organists dinner and William William R McVicker  and Revd Bill Bowman were entertaining.

To St Michael Bedford Park to hear the fine new organ. Jonathan Dods very friendly. Nicholas Wearne of St Martin's in the fields played really well - Bach, unpronounceable Polish, Durufle. To Tate Modern to see Richard Hamilton exhibition. To BSO and Evalina checked my knee and tutor gave me some exercises to do. There is some inflammation.
