The organist librarian

A delightful day. Took the boys to Watermans theatre to see Tales from Birbal advisor to the great Akbar Moghul emperor - cast of 2 ladies, very well done. Tamar delighted to see us. McDonalds in the park then to Kew Water and Steam museum for steam train ride. engine from Sierra Leone and tea. Did some drawings and bought toy Mallard for Sean and notebook for Ciarán. To Catenian council meeting. I wish I had gone to the hustings instead. They will not change. Our meeting now costs £125 a night at the golf club, wine is £4.60 a glass for visitors. It cannot go on like this. Why won't brothers come to a weekend social event with their families? Why belong at all? I finally snapped when Philip criticised Kirkham Cup which he has not been to for years! Colin thanked me as we left - I reckon he realised I was annoyed. 

Great to take Ciarán and Seán to Tamar's music session and they enjoyed the drawing a line  Westminster cathedral interfaith group was attended by 11 this month and Marilyn Mason convenor of Humanists for a better world spoke about the year of Mercy and Laudato Si'. There were 7 at Conversations for the soul at SGI UK Brixton. display at Watermans, the playground and Charlie Brown film. Ciarán has now come to stay. Watched Dickensian and Simon Reeve in Greece.

Mother of 4 year old annoyed me at music. She never stops her daughter taking items from other children so I commented! It's about learning to share and learning to ask properly if you want something but I do not think she understood me. Sad really. To Osterley Garden centre for lunch and met Stephen and Meryl Rose and had a lovely chat. To Beating the retreat at Horse Guards parade. Very impressed by massed bands, choir, dancers and Waterloo enactment with cannons and fireworks. Spotted a Catenian but all I can remember is that he is John! 

Got up in the night to take Ibuprofen as left ankle hurting and bottom teeth twinges. Swam 20 and we both went  -the woman with the hand paddles annoyed Liz - she is very inconsiderate to other swimmers. BBC coverage from Auschwitz. Drove to Swanley for Catenian provincial council. Luis has vacated all positions so  Fergus of Maidstone stepped up to become Provincial President in April and I offered to be Vice-President as there will not be a provincial weekend this year. It was agreed to say a prayer for the Pope although the original email is probably a scam. It was all quite light-hearted. Drove to Selhurst and in an hour I was at Acton 11.15. Wednesday to Tamar's and Seán was much more interested and liked the train song and animals song. He recognised the maraca. He can be quite naughty and did not sleep all day. Ciaran seemed a bit off colour and came home from Isobel's. Watched Wolf Hall, Up the women and Starkey on Magna carta.
