November 11th - Day 207

Up there: Whitehall - three minutes to eleven
Down there: Shoreditch - between twelve and one
There's so much I want to write about today...the piper and the last post at this year's particularly poignant moving Remembrance Day Cenotaph ceremony, the first with no World War One veteran present and none now left alive in this country...and a little later, Jarvis Cocker's surprisingly accessible open-house, bring-an-instrument-and-join-in, impro rehearsal in a restored Victorian warehouse ten minutes north of Liverpool Street station (this was free, as are nearly all my music experiences - tickets for his gig tonight in the same place and as a culmination of the same project were £30!)...heigh-ho...things to do...won't be long...more on Jarvis's escapade on jarviscocker.net
This photo is of Jarvis and Milly, who had brought along a banjo (her friend had brought a croaking wooden frog that Jarvis mistook for a Cornish pasty). It may look out of focus. To gain the photo's full dynamic effect one should borrow a child, or if you have one of your own that would do, find a cinema that is showing "Up 3D" or "A Christmas Carol 3D", watch the film, keep the glasses, turn to this page and wear the glasses. Then let me know if it works.
