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.
A day of rest with the exception of a bit of shopping, a pint, cleaning the floor of the bathroom and kitchen. Glimmer 26 is back to food! Home and make koftas – they work, the bhajis this time don’t, too much batter. Need to follow the recipe rather than winging it! D’oh!
In the meanwhile C looks at a scam site and falls for it. It’s easy to do and when Nationwide give her the heads up, they are fabulous when she calls.

A bit of a lazy start to the day, showered and then away to Sainsbury’s whereupon I find glimmer 5. Home for lunch and then off shopping again. Coffee and a wee pint in the Tom & Gerry. Am cooking the Kidney Care UK Lamb Kebabs with some Onion Bhaji. The Bhaji work well surprisingly as they’ve always been appalling when I’ve tried before. Find the kebabs a bit bland tbh.
Am stressing and that’s not good.
