The organist librarian

Art at St Stephen Norbury and good progress on the Bali painting. So glad I went to see Mrs Lowry and son. Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy Spall are perfect and it so reflects Northern attitudes. I was reminded of Auntie Nellie. I too want to paint with love and feeling! To Tate Modern Takis can't be taken seriously. Olafur Eliasson very interesting especially Beauty but I hated the fog! Cream tea in the members room. Excellent talk on Mary in the New testament at Southwark cathedral by Dr Jeffrey John. I have the notes if anyone would like a copy. I also went to Bankside gallery and looked at the Society of watercolour displey - the prices are too high! 

Swam 20. To the Goughs and Lawrence gave me some oils which belinged to his father - probably poisonous. Practised Faure for the funeral and went through psalm with Liz. To Clapham Picturehouse to see Mr Turner -  a lovely film but not riotous entertainment as The Times critic claimed. Beautiful scenery and some touching moments. To Acton and watched Masterchef professionals. Wednesday Sean enjoyed running about at Tamar's but he did join in with some things. Picked up Liz and watched Come dine with me. To Landsdowne club for debate "The poor are getting poorer". 59% at start supported the motion which dropped to 51% while 16% against became 30% so some people were persuaded by statistics and anecdotes from 2 very out of touch men, I spoke about child poverty and a teacher supported me. Bruce arrived while we were catching up on "The Apprentice". Josie at Louise and Tom's wedding.
