A Blast From the Past and My Last Friday in Lavery's For a While

This Thursday, the Killing Spree (last seen circa 2005) reformed to play a one off fundraiser in the Empire along with Ablespacer, Pocket Billiards and LaFaro. Brilliant, brilliant gig. The place was packed out, there was a great atmosphere and the Guinness was a-flowing! I was mighty impressed that the KS were so tight, considering that as Bernard lives in London, they didn't exactly get a lot of prep time beforehand, but they sounded immense. Got catching up with plenty of folk too - ended up having another ridiculous Buckfast and Beer session at And So I Watch You From LaFaro towers, although this time managed to refrain from boking in the sink. Go me.

Stumbled home after 9am in the sunlight, and crawled into bed until about 16.30. Felt very ropey indeed. Then trooped on down to Lavery's to meet up with as many friends and family as I could muster for 'Seeya Later' pints- it turns out that thats quite a crowd! It was great to see so many people out, a lot of whom didn't know each other at all, having a bit of craic. It took me a fair while to get going, but a quick bowl of chips and a sneaky wee boke sorted me right out eventually.

Other things of note:

• Pigeon fingers - cats are just wee monsters with bits of bird stuck under their claws.
  
• Jo and Dad left for Hong Kong this morning. This all feels very surreal still. Bit emotional today.
  
• Dyed my hair out of boredom, it is pretty red. I like it.
