Sky from Liverpool after yesterday’s trip to the ‘pool. Well today was fun, call to the hospital, C has been sent there with a ?clot. We eventually get out at about 5.45.
Trip to the ‘pool today. Start of with a Snack, sausage sarnie. Then on to The Walker Art Gallery. Bit of nice Paul Nash, bit of Johnny Vegas. Thoroughly enjoyed it. They’re advertising a Holly Johnson exhibition down at The Museum of Liverpool Life.
C not happy on the walk, so we hit The White Star for a beer. Gives C a chance to rest up. She walks the rest of the way. Exhibition is interesting but a bit light.
Journey back from Leeds today and prompt of From Where I Stand – well I stood there yesterday. Up late and don’t have time for planned scran and coffee. Just had to jump the train. Thank fuck coffee was available at Picadilly.
Jump train to Wallgate and then bus home. Am totally shattered but edit the pics and get them uploaded.
Glad to see C.

Weekend Vibes and it’s Part Time Punks weekend and it’s a trip to Leeds. Begins well when I miss the bus, cancelled train and it’s travel as normal. I’ve built in time redundancy so not stressed. Get to Leeds and it’s off for lunch in Kirkgate Market. Cracking veggie thali washed down with a Mango Lassi. Then off to find the Airbnd. Positives, it’s central, negatives, how do I get into the fucking place and the host is not the most communicative.
In and out and in time for a beer at Wharf Chambers before kick off. See Jay who introduces me to a few people, includes Gareth’s label boss. See Andrew and Anne. We shoot the breeze and Nervous Twitch kick off. A few camera issues as I sort out the best lens for the circumstances. Cracking set with a few new tunes. Fab stuff. They day continues in this vein. By the end of the night I’m knackered, I’ve probably drunk too much and I’m hangry.
Glimmer 30 and it’s a first outing for the final press thing. Works well coffee is delish. Day seems OK but gets a bit chaotic at the end. Call queue seems to go to pot.

Glimmer 28 and it’s a bee on a thistle! First of the lates. HBB, good conversion and the value seems OK. Day flies. Cook a pasta bake that is kidney friendly, both of us decide it is bland and decide not worth cooking again.

Sunday in, get into Wigan and the police have cordoned off the town centre. No idea what it was about. Plan on coffee from Morrisons and the Costa machine, but no coffee there. Did sort the cream cheese for the next experiment in kidney friendly food. Glimmer 27 is a ghost sign in town.
Day at work is OK conversion wise, shite value wise.
Swift pint in the Swan and onto the bus. Ring Cal, he’s ok, seems to be dabbling in stocks and shares. Ring home, hay fever has struck.
