23 - Sigur Ros day! I had a nice little lie-in, and then got dropped off by mother (she was on her way to work) so I could print out her ticket for Sigur Ros. I went to the library, and let me tell you, I used to have a very committed relationship with the library. But then I lost my card and it went to shit. So I got a new one! I felt so old when they told me they had wifi, wtf, they barely had new books last time I visited. Times change. I tootled off home, but voted on my way back at my very old primary school, very odd. Satisfied with my decisions, I walked back and bumped into dad walking Oliver. I aimed to have a bath as soon as I got back, but I loitered upstairs not having a bath. Bathed, decided what to wear, and then we were off to Bristol. I felt off though, like, just off. I read Nina Stibbeās fiction book, and we arrived. We walked around a little bit trying to decide where to have a drink, but my parents were being fussy and I was feeling not myself so it was just a weird time. We ended up at a Prezzo, where I had a disappointing mint tea (fucking twingings shit) and then a nice risotto. I think I was just nervous, but I was feeling weird and my mind was playing tricks, so I ended up chatting to myself in the toilets. Weird times. Then, Sigur Ros. The weather wasnāt spectacular, but it was dry. Damn it was cold, we only dressed for a warm evening, and brought a blanket. We aimed to find seating...but so did like 100 others. So we sat on the floor for a while, before the amphitheater seats started to open up, so we shot in there. Then, after a weird opening act, the concert started. Wow. I stood in the crowd for a little at the start, listening to the one song I knew the most (StarĆ”lfur) and I had a few spine-tingling moments, and a realisation of adulthood, but nothing really shook me to my core. I sat with my parents and listened to the intense music, with the crazy light show and squawking seagulls. We could see people across the bay listening to the music for free which was amusing. It was nice, cold, but nice. We are prepared with knowledge for outside concerts, and I appreciate Sigur Ros so much more. The encore song was amazing, I need to find out what it was. After a nice drive home, I literally just went to bed, as I sadly had working in the morning.
24 - Contrast. Brexit. Weāve Left. Iām scared, worried, downtrodden and angry. I walked to work and was thrown into it, making coffees properly for the first time and just getting the job done. I was tired, and wanted to go home, but I stayed on for a bit longer as I was supposed to help out at the sister restaurant, but ended up not doing so. Unorganised, but I got a break so ho hum. Walked home through town, bought some very expensive stamps and envelopes and just settled into the sofa, reading Brexit news and turning off. I wanted to get some work done for my two new independent projects (SALAD with Millie, and Birds With Hats with Fred) but I was just not up to it. I got a bit irritated, so I just went upstairs and started a new Netflix filmĀ āThe Fundamentals of Caringā which is lightly nice. Had homemade pizza, and now Iām writing this, a little out of personal expectation. Iām tired, and Iām woking 9 hours tomorrow. Wish me luck.
