Swam 20 and chat to Dennis, Liz and Ann on Skype.  Eventually booked for 2 Proms story times. To Senate House library and joined up and found 3 useful books. Fantastic scores! Wish I had joined before! To British Library but too late to reregister so enjoyed the Britten scores and recordings display. To Edgware Road and enjoyed chocolate eclair and Earl Grey at patisserie as I was early, The City circle at Abrar centre started late as Fiyaz Mughal was late but it was an interesting talk on Islamophobia post Woolwich and I gave him Jon's regards. To Euston to meet Liz off train from Manchester.

Luckily met Siriol and Michael Bishop of Woolwcih so to New Cross and then a long bus ride. They got off the bus too early - we got to the Greenwich Islamic centre after 2 and were ushered into the youth club in a sort of outhouse and given water and biscuits. No tea and no sign of loos. After some good speeches from Archbishop Kevin, the Bishop and local ...
