Moored in the metropolis

Left Uxbridge before 9am and motored down to meet Pat at Hayes. An hour later I was off to meet Rose at Greenford with a tentative arrangement to meet Tom somewhere along the route. In the end Tom also made it to Greenford and we had a quick meal before starting out. Coming into London by the back door is so different and so much nicer. No traffic jams. Rose took delight in taking a photograph of all those poor snarled up drivers on the North Circular while we cruised quietly over the aquaduct. Moored up and the first "significant" event was when Rose says "Did you see who that was?" as a jogger passed. It was David Cameron. A flotilla of boats moored behind me partied into the early hours. I wouldn't mind but it was that electronica music, where you are waiting for the next missed beat and are lucky not to have a heart attack! On Sunday morning I had a quick walk around Kensal Green cemetery which is huge. Didn't spot any famous names but some of the memorial stones are spectacular. Then I hopped on a passing bus to meet up with Tom. We went to 2 free music events: One Taste at Kensington Gardens which was very chilled; good sound system. Then to Leicester Square to catch a couple of blues bands who were finishing off West End Live. Humid today. (Mustn't complain though). We went for a very nice curry near Covent Garden then I hopped on a bus back.
