Kendal Calling 2022 was bitter sweet. I picked up an insect bite in Morocco over the Easter which caused a thumb sized lesion on my foot, which made walking painful. It didn’t heal until the autumn. Added to the rain and my daughter wanting to go to bed at 8pm missing the headliners. #TicketStubWed

Was disappointed with Rough Trade’s RT50 stage 4 release yesterday. Was hoping to get something as I’d missed out on the previous 2 stages. Instead, I consoled myself with a Getdown Services print from Toucan Tango (which has Yorkshire on it). Looking forward to seeing them in November. #MusicSky

Asked my daughter if she can swim 25m as it was a prerequisite of the aquapark. She didn’t think it would be necessary to ask her friend who I’d booked and signed the waiver for that he could swim it 🤦‍♂️

Read about arson at an apiary in Birtstall, Leeds on Thursday night and it touched me enough to make a donation. Hardly seen any bees (or butterflies) in our garden this year so thought he may need some help. 🐝 gofund.me/bcf3e42f6

6 of us going to watch Spider-Man: Brand New Day tonight in Bradford. This includes my young niece and nephew who I thrive off of their sugared up excitement.
