May 3 – Weekend Vibes
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.
Music
- Rats! Rats! Rats! – Live! Live! Live!
- The c33s – Benzodiac EP
- The c33s – Take Me Off The Face Of The Earth
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!
Day 3 of the lates and great delight as I listen to ‘The Demon Barber’ as I’m outside this place. The irony is not lost! Glimmer 16 is the irony.
Glimmer 8 got picked in the Fab Four. Always find it a valediction of the photography.
Glimmer 6 and it’s back to the past. A wee bimble around the shops and a quick snifter with herself. Sort some metadata and clean the kitchen. C makes the bed.
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 
Monday and I’m despatched to deliver the piss to the GPs. Hazel is due to suffer the final indignity, it only hurts if you get your fingers caught between the bricks. Brief shop in Aldi and then onto the laundrette. My cunning plan of coffee, music and book is interrupted by building work at the garage. Plan B from Planet 57 swings into action and it’s a sausage barm and coffee from the sandwich shop.
Lazy start to another day off, not up till 9.40’ish. Wander into Wigan with C who is looking for shoes. First port of call is the market where she deems the shoes too frumpy. A brief coffee as I scarf the rest of my tabs. Then into the Grand Arcade. Shoezone (no wide fit), Clarks (too frumpy) fail to provide. In desperation it’s Schuh and we find some Doc Marten’s she loves, Klarna makes them affordable.
