The organist librarian

Woke at 3.30 and 6.30 so no swim. Mosaic and good progress. 7 at tai chi which was mostly exercises and some line dancing!  To Balham library.  Home to watch Island parish, University challenge, Come dine with me. Some Prommers have got the prospectus and price has gone up and family Proms are not included in the season. Still good value. Practised on piano for Sunday. Watched Grantchester. Tuesday swam 20. A lovely day but spent the time doing Catenian secretary's report, Cambridge visit plan and guide and starting reading Alexander McCall Smith. To meditation at St John's and met a Buddhist. Having trouble watching young musician paino final on Iplayer.

Swam 20. Just remembered that at the session last night I used Lacrymosa and Lux Aeterna instead of Maranatha thinking about Tony Nicholls and found it most refreshing. His smile kept winning through!  I must also take my sandals off more - it seems to relax me more. 

Tuesday overslept so only 10 lengths - back seems fine! I did tai chi on Monday so that helped I think. Left shoulder still twinging. Listened to Vaughan Williams piano concerto from proms on way home - an interesting piece with a lovely quiet ending.There was a football match and the road up so traffic and bus chaos. Loved Maestro - 6 trying to conduct - Peter Snow was hopeless! Jane Asher looks like a winner! Wednesday up early and did tax letter. Express bus 90p on oyster to Waterloo and reached British school of osteopathy early. Full interview again with 2 nice students as I had not been since March 2007. Brand new HQ but rooms still rather cool! Tutor says pain in side cleared up well in 2 weeks so not to worry and back pain clearing by Monday is also good - shows how healthy I am. I go back in a week. Rang Vickie and bless her she said leave our meeting to next Wednesday. So that meant I was able to attend diocesan meditation day (or part of it) Midday prayer, Eucharist and 2nd ...

An excellent meditation at meditatio

At tai chi Jeff gave us some useful exercise and meditation tips. When asked to think of a happy time I am immediately on the beach in Sydney with Ann massaging my back! Or at Narrabeen tracing our footsteps in the sand! Kevin Ingram organised a fun darts night for 7 Catenians. I was amazed to find I hit the board most of the time as I was hopeless at school. A couple of beers and sandwiches and all were happy! Kevin won the bottle of wine!
