Weekend


Guest Gladstone

Recommended Posts

You playing for the LK team?

Yeah, there's been quite a few call-offs so I got asked yesterday if I'd have a go at it.

Excited, nervous and terrified, just like the seconds leading up to being devirginised all over again....

(Just remembered that the Angus singles competition is on Sunday so might do that instead of hillwalking, depending on how tonight goes....)

The weekend starts today. Down in Somerset for a few days, where I'll get to drink warm cider out of motor oil cannisters and eat loads of cheese.

Friday will involve cider and basking in the sunshine.

Have a wander round Bristol on Saturday. Going to Pitcher&Piano for a mo'fucking Ploughmans platter for lunch and more cider. Back to the hotel in time for Match of the Day and some cider.

I have to go to a wedding on Sunday which is going to be wack, because I hate weddings and I don't like the girl who is getting married one bit, but at least I get a tip top meal, and probably a boatload of cider. Hopefully enough cider to get rowdy and start a fight.

Monday I'm going to some Bank Holiday punk rock all dayer spread across 4 venues somewhere in Brizzle, all of which sell great cider. The Flatliners, Wilhelm Scream, Polar Bear Club, GOOBER PATROL! Attack Vipers, The Computers, The Arteries plus about 1,000 more bands. I'm going to get rowdy, upping the punx with fucktonne of cider.

Then some other stuff I don't care about before returning home where the cider is shit and fizzy.

Friday - Not a lot. Frankly I'm still tired after my stag weekend the week before.

Saturday - Into town to try on wedding rings and some other wedding bits and bobs. Lunch at musa.

Sunday - Practice photo shoot with wedding photographer.

Basically between now and October all my spare time is being taken up with getting married. All of it.

Tonight: Round to a friend's flat for a catch up and a few beers.

Saturday: Town for shopping, and postering for the upcoming Seas, Starry gig. In the evening I'll be hitting the town with my ex flatmate, who is up from Glasgow.

Sunday: A day of rest (hopefully). The evening will involve smoking hot jamz with Seas, Starry.

Yesterday: Woke-up. Did work. Finished work at 4 with every intention of going home. Instead, went for "a pint." Two pints. Three. Double figures. Town. Casino. Bed at 7am. Did all this in my bloody work uniform with my crappy glasses and awful backpack.

Today: Two hours sleep. Picked-up by my mate at 9:30 to walk the Gordon Way. Somehow took us 'til 12 to reach the Bennachie Centre. Supposed to be an 11.5 mile walk lasting 5-6 hours. Got lost several times. Walked in a massive circle around some forestry tracks. Tried to take a shortcut through a field but this bull was mean mugging us. Tapped-out. Ended-up walking about 17 miles in 8hrs. One of our group became so delirious from dehydration that he started licking moisture from long blades of grass. Foolish. Got back into Aberdeen at 9. Scoffed a KFC. Sat down. Died.

Tomorrow: No idea, but after the past 48 hours it'll hopefully involve bed, hot chocolate, cushions, clouds, bubble bath, hugs and guinea pigs.

Friday: Played football manager all from 9am until 4. Frantically cleaned and made dinner in an hour so it didn't look like I'd been sitting doing fuck all all day when my missus got home. Evening: played football manager. Listened to my missus compain about me playing Football Manager. Knocked Man City and AC Milan out of Europe, so totally worth it.

Saturday: Played football manager until 4. Went into town because I wanted a burrito. Had a burrito. Had a cappuccino. Got stuck in the middle of 40,000 Americans coming out of the College Football game. Made fun of them. Had a pint. Went home. Watched telly.

Sunday: Work at 8am.

Friday: Dinner with friends, good banter, good feed

Saturday: Mother and sister came to visit. They did some wedding-ish shit during the day with the Mrs and I fucked about watching recorded NCAA football games til they returned. Watched more college football (including the above mentioned ND/Navy game in Dublin) for most of the day and then Mrs and sis went out to dinner with the bitches. Me and mother watched a film and ate Thai food and had a banter

Sunday: got up, cuppa, went to the church we're getting married in. Was pleased with the choice. came home, watched recorded Alabama/Michigan game. Watched other shit (super Sunday, Temple of Doom) and now ready for bed.

Friday: saw The Unwinding Hours @ Tunnels. Brilliant gig. Followed it up by catching a bit of Das McManus in Drummonds. Very impressed by them but mostly just amused by the sight of Soda Jerk and Jan side by side.

Saturday: Watched the Dons dominate St Mirren while remaining incapable of putting the ball in the net. Frustrating.

Sunday: 12 mile run of pain (too hot, my knees are fucked). Then had a look round SSPCA Drumoak and managed to stay strong and now come out of it with a load of new pets. Some total stars in the cattery there. Once we're back from honeymoon we'll go back for a proper look. Once home I fired up the BBQ for the first and probably only time this year. Some sprats which were eaten whole with some garlic mayo plus homemade burgers and courgettes. Finished off the weekend by writing and demoing some new riffs to send to bandmates.
