5th May – Snack

SnackTrip 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.

Weekend Vibes

May 3 – Weekend Vibes

Weekend VibesWeekend 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.

April 26 Glimmer 26

Glimmer 26A 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.
