Three Gigs - Sunday July 13th 2025

Finished painting the bench on Monday.
On Tuesday put up the new clothes post. Took about 3 hours to dig the hole and I didn't have enough postcrete so had to dash to BnQ for another bag.
M went to the docs in the evening because of the cough she's had since Center Parcs. They perscribed antibiotics. On Wednesday set up the clothes line for the new clothes post. Then drove over to Oxford with Paul Hunter to pick up some PA equipment for RSAC that Oxfam were giving away. JAMO came over for tea.  Amy had been working in Gloucester. Did a bit more garden work on Thursday. M went to a talk about Greyfriars Church at the library. Late afternoon I went up to London. I was going to see Albert Lee at The Half Moon in Putney but decided I'd walk from Paddington. Went through Hyde Park, down Exhibition Rd then south to Albert Bridge and along the North side of the river. Very monies. Don't think I've been to the Half Moon before but it's a very intimate venue and as it was all seated there were probably no more then a 100 in the audience. He's 81but can still sing and play. Very tight band, bass, drums, keyboard and Great backing vocals. A gem. Proper Job on draft too. Putney Bridge looked great in the darkand I think these were paddle boarders in the river.
Went to see The Backbeat Band in The Butler on Friday evening with Fiona and Morwenna. Haven't seen them for about 15 years. Mike and Chris Porter were there and Chris Bloomfield. There was the open mic going on as well and quite a few people I knew from RSAC and open mics. A very lively evening. Lazy day on Saturday. Went to see Stewart Lee at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday. We went up early, had a pint in The Harp followed by a Prezzo then drinks on the terrace and a Waterloo sunset in the interval.
He was very good.
