The organist librarian

Mosaic and only 2 of us. Sang at funeral at St John's. I do think if a choir is requested 3 hymns and a psalm which could be sung by a cantor is a bit thin. We could have sung a Nunc dimittis? She was blind and we sang "He gave us eyes to see them". To see Clare and a long chat. Adrian Rownicki and Marius Twomey came to Norwood circle to support the Signposts launch on June 17th and it went very well. Long chat to Willie Britto.

Swam, returned books to Balham library and tai chi - did massage. Arrived early at East Dulwich picturehouse so sat in garden.  We laughed we cried Florence Foster Jenkins is great not quite as good as Madeleine but worth seeing!  Dennis came to Catenians. 8 of us and 9 visitors. Willie Britto was there. 

There were only 6 of us at Catenians with lots of visitors not least the Grand President who brought the scroll given to Willie Britto on becoming a life member only the 3rd Catenians to be honoured in that way. Brendan Ducey the Provincial VP was on good form. Best of all 2 visiting gentlemen Danny and Juan were there and enjoyed it. A good joke on celibacy and marriage. At a marriage encounter weekend husband is asked to name his wife's favourite flower. He replies "Self-raising". Celibacy follows. Tuesday swam 20 and Liz came as well which was good. To Clapham Picturehouse to see the Met production of Prince Igor which was wonderful especially the Polovstian scene in a poppy field. Straight to Acton and Tom made pancakes. Fell asleep during the sewing bee programme. Wednesday to music and got a nice photo of Sean. I took him to Mass and ashing at Chiswick and David Knights sang the gospel acclamation and ashed us. Sean behaved well in the cry chapel. Took Ciarán to ...

We had delicious croissants for breakfast and then Liz started her fast and nasty stuff to take. She went to CCCJ meeting at West London synagogue. I went back to tai chi (there was no mosaic) and it was good to be doing the soft exercises again. Took down decorations in hall, porch and dining room. To Catenians and Willie was there so Frank signed the scrolls and they and the mosiacs were presented. 19 there but no visiting gents but a very pleasant meeting. Tuesday up early and took Liz to Shirley Oaks and she had the colonoscopy which included biopsies - nothing found so far. I watched Wanted down under and read papers and the Tablet.
