The organist librarian

Swam 24. Have not been all week but now snow has largely gone and the car was clear this morning. It was St Francis de Sales yesterday - I had not realised that he was in Calvin's Geneva. His gentle approach must have helped. Reading Helios on Judaism and Christianity. Damian responded well to my comments on the course and changes are likely which is encouraging. Liz still finds the authoritarian approach at the cathedral difficult. Everybody watching their back and checking with higher authority about the smallest things! How can change ever occur in such circumstances? Philip very funny about Catenians. Helios now showing 3 of my videos of ordination, first Mass and Kurisamala. Liz to West Wickham and got my watch fixed. Rat catchers came so set one up. Liz to marriage preparation course and I went to St Paul Rossmore Road NW1 where Michael Redman is curate for the patronal festival, procession and reception in the school. Cold. Wore my More than Gold jacket for the first time -...

Tuesday to cathedral for rehearsal for Chrism Mass. A lot of standing about but Ross was there. They also serve who only stand and wait! To Louise's via Putney Bridge as we got on the wrong tube train. To Brentford only to find music pandemonium finished last week and does not start until May. Took Ciarán to the park - it was lovely and sunny and he loved the slide. To spirituality day with Michael Moran on St Francis de Sales. I bought the book and also got Faithful pilgrim the Lent book about the Papal visit. Everyone asked about the trip and Eileen suggested the labyrinth at Ealing. In the cathedral the school children were rehearsing their lovely Passion and Easter play. To Royal Academy to see the lovely Watteau drawings. Liz took Ciarán to Sion Park.
