Quiet day on Monday. Fixed the upstairs toilet which had a busted flush. Took Owen into town on Tuesday morning then drove over to Blackheath to Polly sit. Keith and Fiona were meant to be doing it but can't now because of Fiona's broken arm. M is coming tomorrow by train. Had a pint in the Green Godess and picked up some food from MnS.
Poppy seemed pleased to see me.
On Wednesday I walked along the river to Woolwich. It was a lovely day so I was just down to a T shirt.
There's a new imposing statue by the cable car.
Its called Demon with Bowl and is by Damien Hirst. I caugh the ferry at
Woolwich and came back in the foot tunnel.
I then met M off the tube. We had a nice pint of Proper Job in the Dial Arch, picked up some food from MnS and caught the bus to Greenwich. On Thursday M worked on her PhD corrections and I went for a walk. It was based on parts of the Capital Ring and Green Chain walks.
It was meant to be abiut 9 miles but I missed a turning so it ended up bejng over 12. It wasn't as interesting as the Woolwich walk but did have its moments including Severndroog Castle and Eltham Palace.
In the evening we went to the pinza place in downtown Greenwich then on to Oliver's jazz bar. The music was by Beats in the Bar made up mainly of students from the Trinity Laban consevertoire. The first act had 10 people mainly blowin things with a bass, drums and piano. The second was a singer backed by a bass, drums, piano and sax quartet. The original singer was ill and so one if the tutors by the name of SAHRA took her place. They were all very good. We drove back home on Friday. In the evening I did the sound at RSAC with Graham. It wad the 21st anniversary of Club Velocity. The usual format of 3 bands but also this time with some visuals. The headliners, Doops had decided to play with 2 drummers and were already setting up when I got there. First band were Bored Slippy featuring Alex Marlow. Bass, drums and 2 guitars. Second were Secret Rivals, bass, guitar and keyboard/second guitar. Drums through an ipad. Finally Doops, 2 guitars, bass and 2 drummers. The visuals were throughout but mainly for Doops. Had a lazy day on Saturday. Baby sat in the evening as JnA went out for a meal. Went to the RSAC AGM on Sunday. They seem to be doing OK financially but Larry is planning to retire in September. Felix presented plans for developing the site which includes 3 flats in the back of the car park.
