Morning at LBFN Faith in social action at University of Westminster.  Shereen, Shanti, Catriona, Siriol there.  Explore marriage session at St Benedict Ealing - it went well but we needed more time.  The library is impressive. To Acton so Liz could change.  Lovely meal at Royal Society of Medicine our 4th OJ reunion dinner and great to have  Stan Trollip  with us. Mike Stanley has 2 books coming out this year. It's expensive but worth it.  Before dinner we prayed for our friends from the year of 1963 who have died and the Old Johannians killed in the First World War especially at Delville Wood.

A good time was had by all!
