Got up and porridged. Spent the morning on the computer finishing off the B3 job. Soup for lunch. Rehearsed some guitar in the afternoon. Finished off the lasagne for dinner, and made a creamy mushroom and walnut sauce to go with it. Walked up Highgate Hill to Lauderdale House for the Barb Jungr gig. Very cold outside! The walk warmed us up a bit, though. Full house at Lauderdale. Got seats at the back with a little table, and bought a couple of drinks at the bar. Quite a lot of respectable looking Jewish people in the audience…I’m guessing Barb is Jewish, her mum being German and her dad Czechoslovak. She delivered her album of cover versions with the help of a piano, bass and drums trio, and although her vocal interpretations can stray somewhat off the mark, she’s very personable, and her patter between the numbers always entertaining. A good night. We walked back down the hill toward bath and bed…
