Summer Solstice, Severance, and a Beer to Celebrate

 



TV, Traffic & Twilight Runs

Started the first episode of Severanceintriguing!

But a vehicle fire shut the Conwy Tunnel and rendered a Spam Javelin rehearsal null and void tonight. Honestly, not a bad thing — it’s hot (body + weather = 😓).

Just did a quick 5-miler from Penrhosgarnedd to Felinheli and back in the warm summer heat. Felt great!


Solstice Heat & Charlie’s School Delays

Solstice is upon us already and it’s only just getting warm — well, 29°C! Charlie’s bunking school today — he was late getting back from a school trip due to Conwy Tunnel closures. Classic timing.

Picked up some heavy strings in prep for Emissaries of Syn rehearsal Tuesday. Drop A#, baby.


Booking Flights & Future Plans

Discovery Friday! Also: Chilli oil is the future.

Today is Booking Flights to Bangkok Day! Me & Tim fly out Tuesday, 9th Sept at noon. One-way tickets: £263 each. Will sort out the return in a couple of weeks from now.


Groceries, Goals & Guitars

After pancakes and guitar stringing, I took a twilight walk to Tesco in the heat of a 10 p.m. evening. Picked up: veg oil, cordial, smoothie & bananas. I did ask Charlie if he fancied joining me on my solstice supermarket pilgrimage, but he said he didn't have time for all that hippy stuff — ha ha!

Total: £9.40 — I’ve spent £12 on food this week. That’s a new low record!

I might have a beer to celebrate 🍺


Final Thought

Emissaries Of Syn's music is just an awful noise

Listen here
