I was lucky to happen upon this live on the telly at the weekend. This version of “Waterloo Sunset” is one of the most played songs on my iPod , I love it. Here they are doing said tune and “Days” – make sure you wait for the encore
So I totally jinxed myself by doing a rough calculation of the KM I would travel this week and posting it on Facebook. The price I paid was the volcano spitting more ash combined with an unfavorable wind direction that made air travel look dodgy for today.
Late last night the decision was made to get the only other means possible – ferry to Holyhead and train/bus/automobile from there. I’m currently about 40mins outside of London zipping along on a Virgin train. It looks like I’ll make FOWD tomorrow. This makes me very happy.
Of course with every cloud (pun optional) there’s a silver lining. Darragh & the Smirnoff Be There folk got into Heathrow earlier today and can’t leave till tomorrow so I’ve now got company for dinner tonight. I’ve also got to experience a whole bunch of new things including travelling a trail that my grandmother still recalls vividly of the day she travelled from Clare to London at the age of 16 to go and start a job.
Finally, it also gives me the opportunity to say that I (hopefully) by the end of the week will have travelled by the following means:
It’s been a while since my last blog post. I’ve been busy. Since the Blog Awards it’s been hectic going between a wedding, work, folk visiting, movies, music, meeting people, making plans, doing laundry and all that fits into the cracks between.
And as summer rapidly approaches it’s busy times all the way including a trip to the 56th Cork International Choral Festival, Theatre Club‘s new production at The Project Arts Centre, Flight of the Conchords at the Olympia, FOWD London (can not wait!), Druid Theatre’s 35th birthday, Gardiner Street Gospel Choir‘s 10th anniversary, my little sister turning 20, a wee trip to Germany and hopefully launching another bloggy project or two.
