What a fantastic gig last night! Went to see The Broken Family Band at The Junction in Cambridge, and was yet again blown away by them. An amazing band that somehow manage to be The Magic Numbers, The Pixies and The Kings of Leon all at once! Steve Adams (lead singer) is such a cheeky little character (chipmunkish - God I hope he never reads this), with an excellent rapport with the crowd - this is their hometown after all. I will be purchasing their latest album forthwith.
My own personal wagon crashed though last night. I was being SO good, and up until 11pm I had only drunk half a pint of bitter (as I was driving). However, on arrival home we popped open a bottle of whiskey (actually, "smashed open" is probably a more apt term for whiskey). I don't think we made it to bed until 1am, and this morning I have a tongue reminiscent of Gandhi's left flip-flop. This also means that the diet has malfunctioned today too - you can't soak up whiskey with bloody bananas and grapes! I have eaten cheese, slammed between pieces of buttery bread - and lots of it. I am almost feeling like a human and its just gone midday ;-)
Anyway... enough self pity. Tonight, my cousin Mark was supposed to visit. However, it seems that the numb-nuts has double-booked me, and he is flitting off to a far more exciting night out in London instead. I am perhaps thinking that this is a good thing, considering my delicate disposition. It may mean that a long overdue visit to the cinema is in order, or failing that, a night hugging the sofa.
The weekend is looking like a busy one... got Mum and Dad and Nanny Hutch coming tomorrow, which should be lovely. Nanny wants to see where I live, so they are bringing her over from Lowestoft by train. It will be quite an epic journey for her, but I am planning to make it worth her while by burning lots of food on the bbq (weather permitting!). Sunday, I have the Race for Life (urgh). Looks like I will be doing this alone this year! Neither Emma or Tracy are running now (Tracy has hurt her toe, and Emma just did the clever thing and failed to sign up), and it seems that none of the family are coming to watch me disgrace myself either (bit too much of a trek for my pares, 2 days in a row, and Mark's family have previous plans). In some respects, it might be better that way, since I will be less concerned about beating last year's time if it is only me to witness the failure!
Anyway... back to the grindstone. I have been forced to order myself lots of goodies off Amazon today, just to get through the day!
Take care and much love,
Hayls
