many a Pointless Diversion or Hold-up twixt Taunton and Edinburgh
Met up with Holly Tomas at a cafe called Helios Fountain. Nice long chat about all sorts of things, though mainly music and its creation.
Back to flat, call Laura, then off to Cafe Royal.
On the way there, conjecture with Phil as to what we should do, were Dave not to make it back from Devon (There's many a slip twixt cup and lip, and many a Pointless Diversion or Hold-up twixt Taunton and Edinburgh). But he does, and the gig goes off without a hitch, but after two days away from it I keep having glitches. Afterwards we sit drinking at the Cafe Royal. Dave has three glasses of wine (but it is his birthday), Phil three halves of lager. I have three and a half pints of coke and am rendered intoxicated. Ho hum, I'll have to find another drink now (the Cafe Royal doesn't do my usual drink, grapefruit juice and soda, or at least I don't think they do). It's not easy being teetotal, sometimes (well, every time you have a choice between a pint of coca cola and nothing at all, actually).
