The organist librarian

Liz was not well so did not go to the opera. Electrician came and fixed kitchen switch and outside light. Suggested renewing smoke alarms.  Fish and chips at breadline cafe At Akhnaten at ENO amazing spectacle. Nearly dropped off at end of Act 2. The bells seem a bit out of place in ancient Egypt. Still a great achievement. To Acton and in bed by 11.45. Friday to Sean's assembly. It was cute. They sang about the yellow machine! To Dr Ojo and at last mole removed from right forearm. No swimming or showers for a week! Decided not to go and do guiding. Choir practice and a new tenor joined. Max seemed relaxed and pleased about 12 juniors. Work on jigsaw - bridge done and river so now it is the sky! 

Wed the car was taken away for £150 repair to wing and door and we have a pale blue Kia to drive. Ivan transferred the baby seat. To see Dr Ojo - wear and tear on knee, asked to be referred to Bowley Close about shoes, fungal cream for left thigh. One cholesterol is up so no red meat, cheese, chocs, cream cakes! For three months - oh dear and it's not even Lent! The worst is cut back on biscuits! Watched Father Brown, twins trying to give up smoking, Bronx Zoo, Chester zoo. Thursday tired again and snow and ice so did not drive at all no Mass or art. Richard from the National Secular Society addressed the South London interfaith group lunch meeting. We look forward to more discussion! I do not agree that religion and politics can be separated. There was not enough time to defend church schools but I did mention closure of adoption agencies and abortion was mentioned as well. 

We both went swimming and to Mass then coffee after service. I went to the doctor - from now on everything gets checked for cholestorol!

To see Dr Attard - he says not to worry about borderline ECG. I need to go to the hearing aid clinic and got a prescription. To tai chi - Eileen joined us. Home for lunch and Liz returned from Purley. To Orford house and Woodcote Grove for 2 short carol services - 3 of the choir came. Thick snow at the homes. Lovely grand pianos one a Bluethner. We had tea and first mince pie of the season! To Croydon parked near flyover. To public gallery of full Council meeting - a bear pit with poor speaking and bad behaviour. I asked a supplementary question pointing out the health benefits of swimming. Cllr Sara Bashford did not answer the question about the actual costs and the saving. Home for dinner and watched University challenge and World's strictest parents in India. Looked up council site. 2nd test exciting.
