The organist librarian

Liz off to Walsingham. Another interesting day started with hearing test at Guys hospital and I should get new improved hearing aids on July 1st. Then to see my spiritual director at Farm Street and a visit to the Royal Academy to see White, black, gold by Keith Coventry and Ann Christopher's drawings. Then to Wellcome collection for States of Mind and Find a voice (both worth seeing). Then Leighton House for pre-Raphaelite drawings from Canada. I'm not that keen on them but some of them could certainly draw! An enjoyable organists crawl in Cambridge. I spent a happy time at the Fitzwilliam - special exhibition on Egyptian and Roman mummies but loved the art. Sadly we could not visit Downing after all. At Wesleyan Methodist the organist did not turn up and in the end I rang the organ tuner to find out how to turn it on. Much better was St Andrew St Baptist and then Sarah Macdonald gave us a treat at Little St Mary's on the Tickell. Best of all OLEM organ wiht Nigel Kerry a...

Swam 28 lengths with Liz - only stopped because of rescuing car before the meters start. Long chat to Ann on Skype. To St Michael's for excellent recital by Nigel Kerry from Cambridge including some fine Langlais (Chant de Paix and Chant heroique), Franck chorale No 3 and Reger Dankpsalm. The third meeting of the catehdral interfaith group and 7 people came. An enjoyable discussion and we looked at the gospel about the centurion's servant and Alfred Agius's summaries of Catholic documents. To the National Portrait gallery and saw a display in Trafalgar Square using photos from all over the world - a lucogram or some such word. They were giving away free energy saving light bulbs but I already had too much to carry! Chorus rehearsed with Aidan Oliver for the Classic FM concert.
