Splash Down

First off Happy Birthday to Sally. Positive vibes her way.

We visit Mattie in Cardonald in the morning, a regular receiver of the mock Cal postcards I scrawl while on holiday. Good to see her and she endures the New Zealand photo experience with good humour and grace. Cal in the meantime merrily beats me up and plays with another flurry of penguins that have come his way courtesy of Burger King yesterday and Mattie today.

Back to Coatbridge and lunch with Kitty. Quick tour of duty in the kitchen washing up and waiting the requisite time before heading to the 'Time Capsule'. Swindon's Oasis has been moved and given a prehistoric makeover with an ice rink surgically attached. Fun had by all and free massage for me courtesy of the waterfall and many a flume for the boy and the girl.

Buy beer not for the journey (that'd be silly) but for the post journey chill out. Summat to do with Merlin and Mary Queen of Scots. I've learnt over the years that no matter how tired I am having driven a reasonable distance, sleep is hard to come by. Not a problem tonight because if it goes completely horrible there is always the cricket to listen to. I do know that I'm likely to be quite uptight by the time I'm home because the weather is foul.

Leave Fade at 10:00 'cos I don't want to be late up Norf. Carlisle gig is fun (another RSS/Blogging gig for Shan), nice folk with a good buzz of ideas about how to exploit the stuff I point them in the direction of. Blinklist seems to go down well. Nice venue, any health service gaff with a view of bullocks can't be bad. Dunno why we don't have more meetings up this far, it's only a coupla hours up the road. Cool beginnings of a team blog up here too (Library and Web Services). Drive up is a little rain bound but I listen to 'Tommy' loud and proud and the views are good, way back and Yo La Tengo are on the job. Even see some sun.

Home and greeted by a hungry cat, she ain't alone as I feed myself too. Couple of glasses of red, little bit of work, bit of shite TV. Chat to Kitty who tells me news of ill health in Scotland (Sharon's Aunt Margaret). Text Monst with the latest. Recieve news from Delhi, they've scooted round New Delhi today. Cal has kipped and that's as much as I know. Lots of pics promised though!
