Bbq's

Another boring, uneventful few days..today was the 3rd consecutive day of bbq's. I'm not going to turn into a slab of meat; tomorrow back on pulses. Yesterday at a presentation i had a lovely sardine in foil. Weekend coming there'll be a more vegetarian one. At yesterday's one my friend Anna made a good speech; we were there to support her. It was pwoper South London; retired wheeler dealers though you're never really retired. All set to a 80's soundtrack including Genesis, Nik Kershaw. Had never been to Eltham; a few runes magick and music shops. From there went the short distance to Greenwich Park on a sweltering 286 bus. Britain has become more relaxed with this prolonged bout of sunny weather; there's an abundance of light. Our group was chilled; some went to post sunset entertainment though i took the fast train from London Bridge to Norwood Junction.

Today's bbq was triffic thanks to sterling work by Anthony; everyone bought contributions. I have too much animal blood inside me and may have to kill. Played footy in the sun. Went from Queens Road, Peckham to Crystal Palace. Was at the top of the hill just right of the station then South Norwood Lake.

Fri was filming in Elstree and there was an outdoor bbq lunch; lick those flames. Had loads of potato salad and coleslaw out on the green. Was humid when filming and had three bottles of water. The director said he could hear his pint being poured so we finished not long before 7pm. 17min fast train to St Pancras; went to Hyde Park. Elton John was poorly but i was more than happy to see Ray Davies; it was special to see them do Come Dancing, Tired of Waiting for You and a sit down version of Waterloo Sunset. Justin Currie from Del Amitri was on earlier. Was good to catch up with Stevo, Dave and Mark; plans for other meet ups were discussed. The day was not finished; a traverse from Herts to Central to Ladywell, SE London was completed. It was a birthday; got back 2.30am.
The filming started midday on Fri which sounds relaxed but went to Stratford the previous evening. Went to Aspers Casino; it's not just shopping in Westfield. We were there at midnight; the Sky Bar. Don't make Aspersions; didn't gamble but was still a cracking atmosphere. Didn't make sense to go back at say 2.30am when it was a touch cold. You can get breakfast, the meal of champions between 3am and midday though we opted for a Maccas breakfast at 5am. I slept 7am-9.30am and then went to work..not the most professional but did good on set. The plan was to sleep 8pm-4.30am.

Wed went to Essex; Chelmsford for an annual reunion. Thank fuck no mud this time. A friend going through a break up so i'm there to rally the troop. When i was going back some fella had his walking stick nicked so helped him to the station. When you come back into London you see the bright lights of Aspers, Stratford and i thought 'should go there soon'.
