A day on the coals

It’s too hot to think or to do anything particularly constructive. I’ve mostly spent the day slobbing around and listening to music. I had a second shower later in the day and a shave because I felt really grubby and sweaty. I felt better for it… at least I won’t have to shave tomorrow morning.

I’ve listened to some different things today. Dinosaur Jr, The Dream Syndicate, The Replacements, Sonic Youth and At The Drive In. So lots of American post-punk alternative rock. I do like that sound. Can’t stand “classic” punk though.

I’m looking forward to going back up to Sheffield. I hope the situation with living with my girlfriend will be stable. Things are still quite tense between her and her housemate and I’m concerned about how things will be once I arrive. Tried it once and bailed. Fingers crossed things will be different this time.

I was going to do some washing today but I think I’ll leave it until tomorrow or later in the week. If I can get dad to drive me to Sheffield sooner than the weekend then I’ll need some fresh threads. Actually, that reminds me, I need to buy underwear and socks. Shall check the cheaper shops in town tomorrow.

I’ve got to sign on and see the doctor tomorrow. I’ll tell them that I’m going up to Sheffield and will need to sign on there from now on. I hope it’s an easy process, I’m not in the mood for difficult at the moment. I shall ask the doctor about my medical state.

I wonder if I’ll get the chance to do some music recording. I listened back to some of the vocals I recorded last week and I’m not sure what to make of them. They’re either utterly awful or very avant-garde. I’ll keep going with it and see how they sound with a full rock backing.

My girlfriend is on her own and so am I. I wish we could curl up in bed together.

I hope tomorrow goes ok, I’m not looking forward to sleeping.

I hope it goes well, please say it will.
