Suzie took off to the far east again on the 4th of July, and I went off to buy some new football boots. I started writing epic e-mails about the goings on in London, which form the basis of most of these memoirs
On 7 July I went to Victoria Embankment Gardens with Tarik and saw an open air African dance show. It was Totally Talibah and her minions from the Yaa Asantewaa centre and I had finally found a way to fulfill my lifelong ambition: To dance in a costume in a masquerade band at Notting Hill. Things were about to get hot
Am knackered, have just gotten back from a week in Glastonbury which has been an absolutely unforgettable experience. Rolf Harris is a genius!
I've just sorted myself out for the next 3 months. Not bad at all considering I've only just got back to London. I've got not 1, not 2 but 3 jobs lined up, although 2 are definite and the other is as good as got. Life is good for sure!
:: Yeah life was good back then. I got my degree result on my phone by text in the middle of a field and me and Matt cheered when we knew I didn't have to go back to Warwick for a viva. The sun was out and I felt like I was in Heaven, watching Rolf Harris, Belle and Sebastian, and Weekend Players among others. Little did i know things were gonna get a little crazier ::
I personally didn't meet anyone famous but kinda got the distinct impression
that I was the famous one! I was sittin in the Oxfam tent eating and a
couple of girls came up and sat down next to me and looked at me munching my
burger. It was, as you can imagine, a little offputting, but after about a
minute the one right next to me turns round and says to the other one "yeah
it's definitely him"!!!! So I had to ask what they were talkin about and she
turns and says "I've got a picture of you on my wall" - needless to say I
was completely gobsmacked! Turns out that they were Raleigh-affiliated and I
met them once upon a time in Brecon beacons on a volunteer weekend. No
sooner had that revelation been made but another Raleigh guy comes out of
nowhere and says "Alright Andy".
:: I did get a little tired from my hectic schedule. I became a little bit of an insomniac actually... ::
Am VERY tired so this will be short you'll be pleased to hear. This weekend
I have built a school playground for disabled kids in Southampton and seen
Nitin Sawhney, Badmarsh and Shri and Asian Dub Foundation in concert. And
yes I think I may have overdone it when I got back from Southampton and
slept all the way into london then picked up the baton and carried right on.
And so as a result I am now absolutely fucked and need to go to bed. Friday
9.5, saturday 9, sunday 9. Some points have been knocked off sundays score
because I'm so tired. Week scores a first again (surprise)
