had to get up at 0800 for my niece’s nativity thing
she was a cute shepherd + I got a few nice photos, but it was just some songs and not a play! shame
was gonna stay up and cycle into Manchester to do xmas stuff + take my violin to be looked at. was so nice out.
but had to go back to sleep. I’ve been up past 6am for weeks now and barely managed 4hrs
went to go and check in on a house for someone earlier. turn the taps on and that. they’ve got like, 3 living rooms and no tellies. the sofas are just arranged around fireplaces.
fuckin’ rich people, man.
I did donuts in their drive its that big, too.
I hope you’ve not joined the Wet Bandits?
Just been watching a choir on the rich people’s green and the owl was joining in 
How can just one street from mine be such a disgusting Christmas film.
Paul McCartney was good. There, I said it!
Evening
Finally got my Idlewild ticket for tomorrow so sat listening to The Remote Part
and if all this wisdom is true then I doubt it could really have come from you
Anyone here going?
Can’t believe I’ve still got three days of work left to endure.
Does also leave the very real question as to when i can wrap presents/get the house ready for the weekend.
Just sat down to watch the football, pondering a beer but i still have a cold and it may be better to just keep my powder dry.
You’re gonna have a blast
Would definitely be there if it didn’t clash with Mogwai over here - silly bit of scheduling imho
Mogwai can’t even be bothered writing words for most their songs
Also did see them doing RP at Connect fest, though it was a paltry audience as it was vs The National
Think I went to a 15 year anniversary of it too so, I’m well stocked for Idlewild memories. But they’re on great form lately so have a time and find a diser to pint with!
Gonna have a couple of negronis to compare one from the barrel and normal
Confused Terry Riley and Terry Hall earlier
Watching TOTP 1978 and I think it might be the worst ever year of music.
A negroni… Sbagliato. With prosecco in it.

Not much difference barrel one seems mellower
Alright? Had my parents over for a little (actually not little at all) festive buffet, which was very nice. Very tired now but might drink a couple more beers and get into my santa suit ready for DiSmas tomorrow.
Really into this atm too
Nice bit of stressy work deadlines to end the year with 
Pretty confident I should be able to do everything in time, but until it is done, I’m always a bit anxious about it. Ah well. It’s only work. Work is only one part of my life and on the other is… oh fuck christmas shopping is only mostly done
I don’t remember what life was like before I had permanent allergy symptoms all day everyday
