The organist librarian

Swam, Mass at Anerley, painting, Nick Scott cleared up my laptop meanwhile Liz went to St Chad's school 50th anniversary and talk on trafficking at Hackney hospice. She visited Julie-Anne in Bow. We both went to King's chaplaincy room to hear  Mark Langham  speak excellently on "Can Catholics celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation?" the answer being to some extent Yes. Fell asleep during programme on Mandarin Hyde Park hotel and British Muslims. Liz was really scathing about the Last Night painting and my portrait of Louise. I agree they both need changes. 

Liz stayed over at Acton and Tom had a sleep as he was out late Wednesday at a dinner. Swam 22!  To Greenwich on train, tube and DLR to walk the route for the family walk. A beautiful day. The new visitor centre is most impressive and wonderful views. Flower garden is nice but Queen Elizabeth Oak is unimpressive. The whole walk took me about an hour and a quarter with stops. My right knee held up. Had whitebait at Trafalgar pub overlooking the Thames and then got the boat to Westminster Pier. Met an opera loving New Yorker. To Tate Britain to see Richard Deacon and Ruin Lust - both rather dull. To Europe House for part of meeting on preventing human trafficking. Arrived 4.30 and chatted to 2 Muslims, Started 5.15 and I left at 6 to get to Highgate. Carlo Curley memorial recital by Prof Ian Tracey. A fine Hill organ needing attention. Chris and Andrew Cesana were there. An interesting programme including Pierne, Dvorak, Bach and some novelties and ending with Garth Edmund...
