Tonight I headed out to see a band I’ve only recently hear of play an absolute blinder of a set based heavily on an album I really liked. I also quite like this photo of Ice Nine Kills’ vocalist standing on the crowd at the Glasgow Garage.

After a fun start sorting out breakfast for 7 slightly hung over band members and seeing them off, the day took a downturn when Niamh was badly behaved (again) so wasn’t allowed to go swimming. I took Austin on his own instead and we had a great time, then headed back to the flat and watched a Fast & Furious film together. Nice to hang with my dude for a while, though a shame it was at the expense of his little sister. Hopefully she’ll learn one of these days.

A good gig is a great way to get me out of the house, and today was worth the effort. The utter shambolic bunch of loons who make up Footprints in the Custard opening for Australian pirate metal alcoholics Lagerstein. I then bumped into Rob from Gunpoint X in the Solid, and Saor’s Andy Marshall outside McDonald’s opposite my house! Very rock and roll.

A banana. They’re funny fruit at the best of times, but this one is special. I got to work today and realised I’d forgotten my banana. As you do. I have one chopped up in my porridge each morning, and that was it. Day over. No point in continuing. No banana, no purpose to life.
And then a work colleague popped by with one she happened to have in her office from the previous day. Breakfast rescued and the day back on an even keel. How many people have coworkers who can rescue them with spare banana? I’m one damn lucky teaching professional.
