The Founder's Arms on the South Bank has complimentary blankets as well - very ecologically sound, even if it did make most of us look like extras from Star Wars.

Lots of waiting around, very little light so it was a good opportunity to see what the f1.2 85mm lens could handle: the result was a very moody set of images but shot mostly at f1.2 ISO100 with a 1/60 shutter speed, taken right up until the call to go on-stage at around 8pm.

Me and Si were the only ones of our era around save for Nicholas Whitaker (who blanked us - rough boys!). The after-dinner speaker was David Hope, former Bishop of Wakefield, Bishop of London and Archbishop of York - very good to see him after so long (both me and Si sang at his enthronement in the early 80s). After the dinner we went exploring a bit and went up to to the school museum where we found some caps and got a bit loud.

Quick! Copy it! We can forge Magna Cartas and everything! This is rubbish - we wore Junior school caps well into the 80s "I'm not talking to the nasty rough boys." The museum has some lovely school caps Sir! Sir! He's on the grass, sir! And with a flash, Nicholas drove off to escape the nasty boys
