The organist librarian

A bird walk in Knights Hill Wood led by Dave with Dennis Woodhouse. Amazed at the variety and birdsong. To interfaith lunch and not so many there. Monet and architecture at National Gallery is a lovely exhibition. BUT is it worth £10 with art fund card to struggle to see the pictures? In some rooms there were at least 30 people.

Excessive to charge £1.50 per item in cloakroom. In future I will leave bag at NPG which is £1 for a locker. The Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society is a wonderful film.

A lot done in the library Disney and baby books thrown out, 3 volunteers came for some training and the Year 6 girls did a lot of labelling and shelving. 3...

I got the water feature going again and sorted out the bird bath and feeding things. Sadly we do not see many birds - 2 large doves and a blackbird and a robin, the occasional starling and sparrow. Next thing is to get the bits of rowan tree round to the front ready for recycling. Watched 3 episodes of "The Speaker". I enjoyed the final very much and Duncan was a worthy winner at only 14 but the other 2 were also very good. Kaykay reminded me of Junior who I met on Wednesday and Yvonne was just so passionate and warm. Have written a card to the Cardinal with 2 of our CDS the Coulsdon and Addiscombe ones to present to him. Watched the video of David Hill preparing "O for the wings of a dove" and redid the 10 pin RSCM bowling poster. Frank and Lero...
