I just walked down the Oak because I'd heard they served late, but there was nobody at the bar as I walked past. I'd only had one pint in the other pub. I was sat reading Renegade by Mark Smith and some guy with a gut so big it stuck out under his T-shirt all pink and flabby, starts talking to me about some vet on the TV. Couldn't he see I wasn't watching the stupid TV?
So, after he'd told me about this tv vet sewing feet onto feetless dogs or something, I felt I had to say something so I said "that's very interesting".
And of course, it sounded like the most sarcastic thing ever. I didn't mean it to. He shuffled off.

Been doing all sorts, it's been almost a month since the last weblog visit, have you missed me? Went to Wiltshire last week because it's the height of strangeness during crop circle season, with UFO spotters, mystic dowsers, stone huggers and toothless Worzelled harmless country-folk.
All kinds of hippy wagons came on the camp site a few mile from Avebury and guitars and drums were played all lovely until the ravers came. All three of them.
A curse on amplified electronic dance music! We're not all tripping mr Dreadhead!

I did my guitar exam the week before last and I was a mess. I never expected to feel so nervous! But the marks have come through and I got 92%, which is a 'distinction', so the 'rabbit in the headlights' method of playing is obviously okay and well and good for the Trinity Guildhall bods. I'm dead pleased. All the kids I teach got great grades too.
Bonus!

I'm planning a trip that'll hopefully take in several obscure stone circles, some Thomas Hardy landscapes and villages, some fossil hunting and the great phallic hill figure of Cerne Abbas. Sounds like fun? Well I think so. I'll show you some photos if you want.
I'll take my guitar. Here it is, somewhere in Shropshire about two weeks ago.
