A moment of joy well that’s a good prompt when the depression kicks in. Sunday in and it’s a chilled day bit I’m feeling shit. Swift pint of Mowtown post shift.

In bloom, yeah a revisit to the tarty onions. In other news we watch Ken Burns’ ‘The Vietnam War’ as I sort out the chromebook. Need to go shopping and sort lunches for the week. Back to lates from Monday and it’ll be an exhausting week.
Brief shop, lunch at the Tom and Gerry after an abortive attempt at the Gobin. Visit the coffee shop and round it off at the Lickers.
Feeling really shit again.

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.
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.
