The organist librarian

I played Peeters and Karg-Elert on Nun danket and Finale of Mendelssohn 6. The hymn Beneath the cross I fain would take my stand. I fain must go to Waitrose? came to mind.  Voces 8 on Songs of praise!  Listening to the Ten Pieces prom. Nasty BBC for not letting the Prom season ticket holders attend on our passes. Why the sailors hornpipe at Hull and Ten pieces prom (twice)? Enjoying Haitink again on TV. Poldark and world diving. Miranda Hart hilarious. 

Thursday took Ciarán and Bruce to Gambados Beckenham and read the Tablet while they enjoyed the slides and cars. To Voces 8 concert at St Peter Eaton Square - lovely church with a big organ. A lovely concert - really enjoyed it. John Wardle and Tommy Hewitt-Jones were there. Nice that we got to the group as we left so saw Chris Wardle. Louise picked us up at East Croydon as she had been out to dinner while Bruce babysat.

Swam 30. Liz to take baby seat for Gemma and to see Fr Archer. To interfaith lunch and a good turnout. Jon Dal Din was there. To Heythrop and 6 at dinner time. An interesting seminar from Anton on the "Muslim gospel" and pluralism from Damian. I got his new book from the library. Home to watch Catholics part 1 about Allen Hall - very well done. University challenge was close. Voces 8 on Songs of Praise.

Monday enjoyed Voces 8 concert at St Mary at Hill. I was on until 8 and pretty tired. Tuesday reading group discussed "Wolf Hall" and surprised how many did not like it! They seemed upset that I am retiring - you've only just come!
