Very turbulent sort of day, but the good parts include making a nice new work pal and bumping into another nice pal on my way home. Got a meeting in 5 minutes which I’m quite annoyed about, 8pm meeting like I’m some sort of motivated Apprentice candidate. I just want a bath and to work on a poem. Probably going to update my will and put my life insurance in trust before bed, which I started in 2020
Absolutely pooped after a gig and too many beers for a Monday night. But day was fine and found out I got a job I was after so that’s good.
Cooking a big caponata which I’m really excited about.
Updated: my Instagram profile picture because I was using a really old pic where I looked bright and young and healthy and with a full head of hair, and I’m none of those things (and less) now.
Got a wash on. Coupla beers. Probably do an instant noodles for tea w/ added cabbage and tofu that need using.
(+) Learned my band blagged a small slot on a fest in Cheltenham in a few weeks, first since lockdown
(-) They want a ‘‘chilled’’ out set and have specified no distortion
Thanks! And yeah it’s basically a slightly boring job for a very interesting person who I can hopefully convince to work with me on bigger things - a foot in the door sort of thing
Update on the old sofa that we got rid of some of at the weekend: we went with the £50 collection option (assuming we remember to take it out tonight), and I just overheard Mr Froglet admitting to his gaming friends that his plan of cutting it up and putting it in the bin might not have been the best
got a bit annoyed at dinner again because yet again I didn’t get offered a drink top-up or a dessert. fucks sake. why am i some kind of hotel pariah?? i just want some DAMN cheesecake!!
was going to get belligerent but then the belly dancer who was the evening’s entertainment was being interacting with diners and i was like NOPE so hurried away to my suite. started writing but obviously got distracted by organising my birthday party playlist. first half is basically done now just trying to work the second half into some kind of order.
said it before, will say it again: Freak Like Me by Sugababes is one of the greatest songs of all time
Took a good photo through the binoculars of 2 Avocets getting it on. That’s my day really.
Made a really nice crunchy summer salad (red onion, spring onion, cucumber, celery, sugar snaps) with new spuds and chicken marinated in coriander, chili and lime. Lovely. Better call Saul and a beer.
I made katsu tofu for tea. It worked better than previous attempts at katsu but I still think it was under-spiced. I’ve got leftovers for tomorrow which I’m not sad about.
I got offered an interview for a job which I didn’t expect to get which is nice. I’ve convinced myself I might get it too which is obviously grossly optimistic.
I’m trying to do my writing homework while Wor Lass watches that Nick Knowles show where they rebuild people’s houses.
