I’m going to another campus for some training and to listen to a variety of managers tell us how great we are and how we need to work much harder.
Once that’s done, I’m watching a load of metal bands playing in Maryhill most of the weekend. It’s Wor Lass’s nieces’ birthday party on Saturday afternoon so I’ll also be waving at the twins for a bit. There’ll be cake and a load of food.
Just had a coffee
Got a half day
Going to jazz up some noodles with crispy tofu, veg, maybe some of the gyoza we have in the freezer
Gym later
Walk in the peaks with a pub visit this evening I reckon
The youngest had a pal for a sleepover last night so of course they woke up all hyper at 6am so I’ve been up 3 hours already
They calmed down after I stuffed them with a big breakfast & they’ve been drawing/painting for an hour now while listening to 6music
I have a brunch meeting* in a couple of hours with the singer of a music project we’ve been working on together since about April last year. I guess you could say we’re a duo. Anyway, we’re planning releases of a series of 3 singles, an EP & a 12” in the next 6 or 7 months so that’s exciting. We’re gonna ’action’ some choices today - artwork, masters, press photos, a promo/pr strategy, maybe plan a launch event … that sort of thing
So that should fill 3 or 4 hours
Then probably a walk & then to the Park Theatre to see the annual breakdance battle if it doesnt rain
Quite a nice Friday as it goes
*the brunch meeting is at my place & I will be making smoked salmon, scrambled eggs & avocado on levain toast
KIT day at work, which also marks the end of my second month off (of 3) and the end of my time off with just P as R has now finished nursery before starting school in September. Bracing myself for a day of meetings and frantic troubleshooting.
First day of my two weeks off without plans. It’s awful weather and I’ve got loads of nice plans for the weekend (brewery, pub for the World Cup final, boygenius) and next week so very tempted to spend all day in my pants on the sofa but I know I’ll regret it.
Reckon my A levels results night out was one of the best 2 or 3 of my life, easier I guess when I didn’t have many big nights out yet to compare it to and when Walkabout seemed exotic.
