Blah
That was some storm (storms) last night. One crack of thunder practically overhead nearly blew us out of bed. In fact it did blow the cats off the bed! Travel chaos ensued this morning with most of the trains in and out of Leeds cancelled or delayed because of flooding.
Tried to paste the map to the board last night. Fucking thing has peeled straight off. P is going to bring spray mount home tonight so we’ll try that.
We’re off up to the caving hut this weekend with Rob and Mel. Not sure I really want to cave - will try and wriggle out of it. [and Fee: “Fuck it - if I don’t want to I’m not going to” J] Maybe just go for a walk with P. There’s a BBQ on the Saturday. Someone’s birthday we’re crashing I gather. The weekend before Fflam Waking the Witch are doing a performance to raise money for a village hall in North Yorkshire. There’s camping across the road behind the pub. Really fancy going, it’s about 1.5 hours drive and tickets are only £10 so I’m going to try and get some. We need to go shopping to get some stuff for the week we’re in Swansea after Fflam but we can do that weekend after next or even before going to see the Witches. Paul wants some lightweight walking boots and walking clothes and I’m going to get a summer sleeping bag.
My back’s playing me up again and I’m tired from being woken up by the thunder and poring rain last night. I really, really need this week off. Please let the weather be good because a week laying around in the sun on the beach rather appeals.
Had a long, long chat with Fee on Monday. Was just what I needed. I hope P’s work sort their lives out soon so we can go over there. It’s looking like he will be over in Houston practically every month between now and Christmas. Just need to organise it so we both have a week off afterwards, meet in New York, a week with fee then come home together.
