There was also some nice stuff along the Loddon.

Dropped a cake off at Andy and June's on the way back but they weren't in. Had a hair cut on Wednesday. On Thursday I was meeting Tom and Sally in the evening in Limehouse to see Public Service Broadcasting at the Troxy so I went up early for a bit of a walk. Headed for Highgate Cemetery as if featured in the latest Strike book I've been reading. Very atmospheric, particularly the western side. Karl Marx is in the east as you'd expect.This was my favourite though.

I then walked down to Islington to pick up the Regent's Canal. Not a great walk but I did help man who had collapsed. Drink had been taken. Me and a couple of others helped him to a nearby bench with his shopping. Had a crap pint of Sussex Best in the Angelic then headed for the canal. Very trendy apart from the last bit near Mile End. Met TnS at the Craft Brewing Co. Good pub. They don't do food but you can eat takeaways in there. Band were excellent and a great venue. It was a cinema built in 1932 and at the time was the biggest in England with a capacity of 3,500. Had to get the vomit express back unfortunately but not as bad as it used to be as longer trains. Everything shut at Paddington though. Had a band practice on Friday. The first for a while. A bit rusty as we hadn't played together for a while. On Saturday I had my first full lead soundy gig at the Rising Sun. This was for a burlesque troup called the Scarlet Vixens. It went well I think the highlight was probably Miss Kitty Pimms and Layla Cherry also gets a mention. It was a Pinktober fund raising event for Breast Cancer Now. Did probably my least favourite gardening job on Sunday, digging up ground elder. On the covid front according to the ZOE study numbers have come down but now levelling off such that 1 in 39 people have the virus.
