title Fred's Birthday and a GSB Duck-Race Miscellany, Brome, Eye and London - 28th September 2019 intro The Gislingham Silver Band are playing at the Duck Race down at the Pennings in Eye again, but this year Fred and Nosher are also in the senior band, so there's less chance to actually watch the race itself. But before that, it's Fred's birthday, then there's the ever-changing array of graffiti along the tracks into Liverpool Street, and finally there's a demonstration to free jailed human-rights activist Omoyele Sowore, outside the Nigerian High Commission on Northumberland Avenue in London. imgc4781 There's a demo outside the Nigerian High Commission imgc4782 Free Sowore placards are waved around imgc5032 Fred gets the matches imgc5033 Fred's cake is right under the smoke detector imgc5034 The cake is moved into the kitchen for lighting imgc5037 Isobel and Fred light the candles imgc5038 Fred blows them out again imgc5040 The cake returns to the dining room imgc5042 Censo tag in Tower Hamlets imgc5044 Fluke and Dildo tags imgc5046 A nice pastel-shaded tag, which looks like Roam imgc5047 Another tag by T8C imgc5049 T8C is active again near Brick Lane imgc5050 Lots of tags, and a bit of Liverpool Street Station imgc5051 A N graffiti and a bit of old station imgc5052 A new Hitman Suks tag by Hotdog imgc5055 New wall art on buildings near Brick Lane imgc5056 Parched weeds outside Liverpool Street station imgc5057 10Foot tag, which is probably about 10 foot high imgc5062 There's a toad under the wellie boots on the porch imgc9335 Nosher gets an old prototype Nokia out for a photo imgp6647 The band warms up imgp6648 Over at the Pennings, the GSB sets up imgp6649 Fred pegs his music down, as it's a windy day imgp6650 Graham the bagpiper does his thing imgp6652 More bagpipe action, as the training band sets up imgp6655 Fred does some sort of sit up/leg crunch things imgp6656 A couple of large dogs go head-to-head imgp6658 The scout leader comes over to say hello
