Solar panels in the hotel car park. Great idea. Had a meeting in the Castle Tap in the evening with Tony, Andy and Duncan to discuss forming a band to play at the White Knights Arts trail. Meanwhile Edith took her first steps. On Thursday I did my ridr out toPlayhatch up the hill to Dunsden and back through Caversham. There was a bit of flooding at the start of the path from the Oracle business park and some of the empty buildings now have their windows covered with what looks like metal sheeting.
It makes them look a bit eerie and gives a feeling of more permanent closure. First Thursday drinks in The Fox n Hounds in the evening. Its always really atmospheric cycling back over the river at night.
It was the annual shenanigans on Friday. We met up in a pub called The Coal Hole on The Strand for lunch then did a hidden London tour of bits of the tube near Charring Cross. The first bit was a disused bit of the Jubilee Line that is quite often for film locations.
They also occasionally park trains there during busy periods. There second one was a construction tunnel they used to get the debris out. This goes under Trafalgar Square and has to bend roud the foundations of Nelson's Column.
The last but was a ventilation shaft over the Northern line platforms. You could see the trains from above.
All very interesting and we then had tea in the Clermont Hotel.
Finished off with a swifty in the Chandros. Went to watch URZ URZ lose to Stockport on Saturday with Ralph. Hadn't realised he'd been ill over Christmas. He ended up in AnE on Christmas day. JAMO came round for tea on Sunday.
