The organist librarian

Took Ciaran to his diving course and he did really well. Liz took Sean for a swim. We enjoyed sketching at the Edward Bawden exhibition at Dulwich picture gallery and then made a beachhut out of lollipop sticks in the garden and the boys did some more drawing. Met Pauline Kirwan and Carol and Roger from St Michael Beckenham. Roger told me the organ is covered during the works and several people have died or are seriously ill. I had a seat for Inspire new music at Broadcasting house but it would have been difficult to get to the Prom so Liz went. Budapest festival orchestra Enescu, Mahler 4 and encore Laudate dominum sung by orchestra! Watched university challenge. I complained to the gallery about a staff member who was officious about the stools! 

Monday only 15 lengths as got up late - met Humphrey on train. Home to watch Cardiff singer of the world - liked Argentinian bass of 23. Tuesday to dentist to get front tooth temporarily repaired - will be a crown £200. Back tooth can't be crowned. Got to work at noon. Liz flew to Dublin overnight - her ticket was on wrong day so she missed her Haydn practice. To West Hill closed library for walk round Wandsworth town with Bob Lilliman. Pauline Kirwan and Julian Wales on it and John Hawes joined later. It was most interesting if a bit noisy at times and nowhere to sit down! Home to watch Mary of the charity shops!
