4335 - The other side of midnight

Felt reasonably energetic today
Got quite a lot done, no going for a walk
To the shops, just sat at my desk and stayed
Put. Got lots to do, see? Not very much talk
Now sat on the far side, further from folk
This makes it easier to crack on and get
Stuff done. Thinking 'bout Berlin, took a look
At some info on clubs, bars, and all that
Kind of scheiss. Some are hard to penetrate
The bouncers want dancers, not pissheads. They
Stay open til dawn, these clubs. How the fuck
Do you last the night? Don't inebriate
Yourself, you'd think, though that still seems the way
In bars before, til midnight hits the clock

3543 - Itchy fingers

A day at home, but kept fairly busy
Researched Milan, and posted my Malta
Album on Facebook, ironed, watched TV
Listened to several CDs, and read the
Guardian online. Later, played great guitar
I'm still making progress. Found I could play
Along to jazz and Spanish, after a
Single listen before I went away
On holiday. Can jam to all that they
Can throw at me. These boils irritate me
On my hands, they're the itchiest by far
Got them on neck and face too. They won't stay
Long, I hope. Mosquito bites from the sea
Coast of the Med, I do seem to suffer

3542 - Malta Day 4

Last day in Malta, had a good long chat
At breakfast to Italian couple and
Jessica the hostess, Portuguese chap
And his Spanish girl too. Saw I was tanned!
My white highlights highlighted in the sun
(No comments on that though - only I know
They are highlights...) Caught bus to airport, zoomed
Along nicely, last view of Malta, though
I take back fond memories of the place, oh
And the people, so friendly. I think that
I could spend the winters there when wizened
And old, live in a hotel like Brits do
Then go back home for summer! Salford flat
And Malta hotel - cool!!! Dreams never end!

3298 - Weekend starts here

Friday, Friday, oh oh that is my day
Nobody in the office, only two
Of us, I passed the time but felt weary
Tried to nap on the sofa but was too
Late, so got dressed and walked quickly down to
The Salford Arms, three pints with Dermot, he's
Off to Costa Rica, kayak, canoe
Off a waterfall or some similar wheeze
I demanded pictures of any she's
But he said no, that won't happen, no way
Then to El Capo, Vee and P and ooh
Quesadilla, very nice and tasty
Chat at the flat, then walked home thru the Gay
Village, crowded like mad, drunk folk carouse
