The organist librarian

Whole day at St George's cathedral Southwark rehearsing for the ordination of Bishop Paul Mason.  Mags did a god job in the morning but Canon Alan was just too much. He loves himself and wastes too much time. Some comments were inappropriate in front of children. Good music choices by Paul. The diocesan choir are cliquey. Had tea outside the Imperial war museum and showed Liz the peace garden.  Vespers and Mass for Corpus Christi with Canon Christopher. Loved the Victoria Wood tribute.Long phonecall to Peter Stevens and agreed to support the Kent schools day on July 4th. Jerry indicated that safeguarding applies to emails so have to use the Catenian one for the church! Steak for dinner. 

To community workers meeting and useful discussion on children. To branch development team meeting for mince pies and shortbread and "Safeguarding children". To Coulsdon for choir practice and had to point out that there could only be one tempo and that was my choice as conductor! Going OK - wish we had more rehearsal time but we haven't!
