After the Lord Mayor's Show ...

... after the euphoria of last night ... it was back to earth with a resounding SPLASH today - a solid 4 hours walking in pouring rain (having already got wet through just walking from train station to office) - a truly AWFUL day delivering papier mache at times ... and naturally today I had loads of "sign-fors" - and the two delivery cards are now drying off on top of the fire - pretty much like everything else.

Even so (excuse semi-pun !) here's t'other one from last night ...

Plan was a camping weekend in Edale starting tonight (with me dashing back to work on Saturday and dashing back to Edale straight after) - that was suitably knocked on the head for obvious reasons ! Have heard - but not yet seen - about the moistness at the Isle of Wight Festival this weekend - at least I saw Pearl Jam "in the dry" !!  Cricket washed out as well (surprise !) - just need Greece to win tonight - although it doesn't look promising after the first 45 ...

Pearl Jam - one from tonight ...

... last toon we saw as you have to remember that Manchester is a "24 hour city" whereby last trains out of town leave at 2300 ... and gigs finish later than this - aargh !  So Eddie and the guys start playing "Alive" at 2253hrs - we just made the train - hence the very "abrupt" finish on the video (courtesy babycam - hence quality leaves something to be desired - it even includes other peeps dashing out for similar 'last trains' I guess) - anyway suck it and see - twas once again a thoroughly awesome performance - tight, professional - and done with feeling - and a lovely Fathers Day pressie - thanks kids !!

... and when I get a chance ... I've got "Even Flow" to upload as well !!!
