Had a band practice on Wednesday and did some new songs. The queen was taken from Buck House to Westminister Hall to begin 4 days of lying in state. Went to watch URZ get thrashed by newly promoted Sunderland 3 0. They didn't turn up. On Thursday booked my seasonal covid booster for 3rd October. Drove over to Tom and Sally's for the Greenwich Comedy Festival with Stewart Lee. The compere was a chap called Ian Smith from Goole. All pretty good but Stewart Lee was excellent. Tom and Sally flew out to Rotterdam on Friday, it was Sally's birthday present. We had a chilled day, walked round the heath, popped into the church, had a couple of pints, cooked a meal watched telly. On Friday we went to the Cartoon Museum just off Oxford St, bus to Woolwich then Elizabeth Line to Tottenham Court Rd. Dead easy and an interesting museum. We popped into the very ornate All Saints church first. After we helped a woman who had locked herself out of a room with all her stuff inside. She was a therapist and it was a room she'd rented from this lot. It makes you realuse how vulnerable you can easily become if you dont have access to your phone or money. Looks like Cracking Up have another gig as part of the Henley Living Advent Calander where they put on secret gigs at venues round town from 1st to 24th Dec. In the evening went to the pinzeria place in Greenwich. Lovely walk down as ever. They are the just the best pizzas. Then went to comedy at Up The Creek. A bit different to the Sunday night shows as it doesn't start til 9pm and the audience is quite pissed by then. Also lots of groups in, a stag do and a birthday party. So the sniping at the audience is a bit more vicious. Very funny though, particularly the compere, Thomas Green and the last act, Kane Brown. On Sunday headed out to the SE end of the Elizabeth Line, Abbey Wood and looked round the Lesnes Abbey ruins. Then wandered round the riverside at Woolwich on the site of the old arsenal.
Alex tweeted this
film of Biden arriving for the queens funeral. We left early on Monday as M wanted to watch it on telly. Representatives from all countries except Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, Syria, Venezuela and Afghanistan were invited. Massive secutiry operation. 10,000 police involved. Portaloos and water stations along the route.
