Lazy day on Monday. Amy popped round to pick up the jet wash and gave me a lift back to pick up the car. Keith and Fiona popped round later to drop off Tom's jacket that he'd left at their place. I discovered H chords.
We joined at Catford and walked to the Thames (almost) where it becomes Deptford Creek. Some is just urban where the river can't be accessed but its well signposted. On Thursday we went round Eltham Palace. Some fine views of London including this press to play go button at Canary Wharf.
She did nod off in the pushchair on the way back. Tom and Sally got back around lunchtime and we got home about 3 30. Edith is very easy to look after. On Saturday afternoon Tony came round for a rehearsal in the afternoon. In the evening we were support for Aly Koh, I was also doing sound. She was singing and her husband played guitar. Both from Singapore and her first gig in the UK. About 20 in the audience, mostly friends so good atmosphere and they are a nice couple. She has a great voice and he's an excellent guitarist but his main instrument is drums. We did OK, made a few mistakes inevitably. The main problem was when I changed from playing Tony's guitar back to slide I didn't hang it on the stand correctly and it fell over. When I came to play it again whilst tuning I realised one of the tuning pegs had broken off.
Left the gear set up as I was also doing sound for the Sunday Alternative the next day. JAMO came round for roast chicken in the evening. They think Madeline has chickenpox.

On Tuesday Larry from RSAC asked if me and Tony would like to do support for Aly Koh on Saturday night so we've agreed to do it. Went to visit SET on Tuesday afternoon. We are staying to look after Edith whilst Tom and Sally go away for a couple of nights to stay in hotel. It was a wedding present they bought for Ewan and Charlotte but they won't be able to use it as they now have Winnie. Edith was at nursery on Wed and Thurs so we had the days to ourselves. Did a walk along part of the river Ravensbourne on Wednesday. Its part of the Waterlink Way which is 8 miles.
On Friday morning we took Edith to the play area in Greenwich park. We got there about 9 30 only to find it didn't open until 10. Edith was quite happy just wandering around until it opened though.
