fish at 85
It’s another 5am Sunday morning. When you are awake you are awake. Eyes need to clear somewhat but otherwise fine. Looks like another warm day in prospect. Anne and I are off to see Lindisfarne at the Lincoln Folk Festival at the Drill Hall. Looking forward to it. The only downside is that the beer selection at the Drill Hall is rubbish. Run by the council… We are having dinner somewhere in town which will be nice, just the two of us.
Enquiries starting to come in for the campervan through the camperbug website. None have bitten yet, other than an advanced booking for next year but one of them must do sooner rather than later. I have a couple of little wiring jobs to do this week before we head up to Whitby. Also had an enquiry for this week which would put the kybosh on the Whitby trip (for which I’ve paid in advance for the campsite) but business is business.
Was quite late to sleep last night – 11.30 ish. Anne was watching the Celebrity Masterchef Final in bed on her iPhone so I drifted off. It was a quiet Saturday night in despite there being attractions all over the place – Joe playing at the Jolly Brewer, and bands on at both the Morning Star and the West End Tap. Friday was such a long day though that the body needed a quiet night aven though it was a Saturday. The days all blur into one anyway.
Cardiff was a successful trip. We had a bbq at Sue’s following a lovely lunch at Fish at 85. Bbq’d breakfast on Saturday morning and then went to Cardiff Bay for a looksee before heading home.
Facing a busy few days. Have to go to Matlock to pick John and Joe Donnerstag up from the YNOT Festival on Monday morning and then figure how I’m going to get the shelving unit I bought back from BHS. Need a pal with a van – I have someone in mind.
Then I have to do Hannah’s student loan form, the paperwork for which still hasn’t arrived. I have printed something off but it doesn’t look like the one I sent off for Joe! The Student Finance company is a bit of a joke tbh. It’s not funny though. It’s stressful for everyone involved. I’ve found an online version but it won’t print off properly. It’s 12 different GIFs of the form!
Whilst I was trying to print the forms off the printer came up with a message saying I was running low on ink so I ordered some online from HP. Nw that is an efficient system. Printer website directed me to HP and a few clicks of a button and the ink will be on its way. Not particularly cheap but efficient and effective. Student finance could learn a lesson or two from them
