Extinction rebellion

Mosaic. Jonathan Lilley played the Academic festival overture and a fine partita on Tallis tunes written for Waltham Abbey by David Bednall at Southwark cathedral. SPIDIR committee. Tate Britain. I did not understand Mark Leckey and fewer people at the Blake which really only comes alive for me in the last rooms Job, Dante, Pilgrim's progress. We have serious damp in downstairs loo. Excellent presentation at Milleret House on extinction rebellion. Very thought provoking. Suggestions for what we can do. The calendars have come and are really nice. Tuesday Mass. Henry came after a delay and enjoyed himself. Quiet time. Cleared up upstairs. Watched canal journeys and Only connect. David won Great British bake off Steph was unlucky. Watched the British tribe next door in Namibia.

I saw my pictures in the library. A delightful recital by James Lancelot at St John's. I must play the Harris and Whitlock again. Also included Bach, Rheinberger, Karg-Elert, Elgar, Alain and Widor. Good audience including Andrew Scott, Carl Jackson and Christopher Herrick. Returned scores to Central music library and went to Tate Britain to see Blake but there were far too many people there so I may return in January! A lovely party at Roger Brice's lovely new home for RSCM commitee members to honour Peter Wright for 30 years of briliiant leadership Astonishing that RSCM HQ did not consider it right to mark 30 years of voluntary service! Open day but could not park to visit Heavers farm school - should have walked from home! To the drome for mass for John Braburne's cause 40 ...

William Blake

It was great to sing "And did those feet" in the church where Blake was married. I gave it full welly!
