A trip to the cemetery to say hello and tidy up a bit.
Of course people are always dying so there is a funeral happening at the moment. It seems a happy affair with lots of people and music.
That’s the way to go.
Hello to Mum and Dad

A farewell piece for Griffin Park
Griffin Park is one of the few old-school grounds left in English football, hemmed in by housing and retaining terracing – a rarity in the Championship in the days of all-seater stadiums since the dawn of the Premier League era.
A nice piece on the BBC to commemorate the final game at GP which happened in the week.
Griffin Park: Can Brentford give ground perfect send-off by winning promotion through the play-offs?

The turnstiles at Griffin Park have already rattled for a final time. The Ealing Road terrace, usually a swelling mass of bodies on match days, stands empty.
However, the ground, Brentford’s home since 1904, will host one final game on Wednesday night before the west London club move into a new stadium this summer.
Brentford History
Lockdown Football and Hope
Possibly the biggest goal in Brentford’s history:pic.twitter.com/iqIZSwpQfB— Essential Brentford (@BrentEssential) July 17, 2020
As the saying goes currently…”we live in strange times ‘.
Football in the Championship as well as the Premier League has restarted behind closed doors as a result of the pandemic.
Brentford have come back after the lockdown break so well with eight wins. They have slowly pulled in WBA and this is the round with 2 games to go. It started .. and ended.. with WBA one point ahead with the Bees having a better GD.
But the Baggies have screwed up by losing to Huddersfield – so now Brentford have the future in their own hands. Four points needed from their last two games. One tomorrow v Stoke away and then home to Barnsley who a rooted at the bottom of the table.
So now a big, big game tomorrow.
Down to the Globe in Windmill Road to see the outcome.

Les Miserables revisited
The long running LesMis production has just moved to the Sondheim theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue. So Joe’s and my return to the show was at a different venue to the one that Shaz and I watched in last year.
As with these it events it was full. We were near the top rung again but not so high and uncomfortable as with other shows.
The show was great and the apparent innovations introduced worked very well in my eyes. The projection of the sewers and the falling off the wall of the policeman to his death.
A wonderful experience for both of us. I would happily see again.
More RAH
Another family trip, all five, to the musical venue. The show was a mixture of classic carols and well known Christmas populars.
Good fun for the most part and of course a bit cheesy in places. There were plenty of opportunities to sing along.
