Unfortunately we are still offline at home, I am in the new shiny library and have just 10 minutes of public access on the new computers… I had to go high up in the air to Level 3 to find one!
Today is the last day of the Literature Festival. I booked tickets for tonight way back in August and so hadn’t planned on journeying into the city until teatime.
Then I checked social media on my phone and found that not 2 but 3 recently familiar to me (in the past month) poets were performing at the afternoon event…
Well I could hardly miss that opportunity.
Mr G and I had hatched plans to get some of the house organised, we are using tomorrow now. In fact (I hope he forgives me for saying so) he was snoring as I left the house at lunchtime.
I decided rather than parking charges for half a day in the city I would take the train. I also forgot what town is like on Saturdays and why I rarely venture out this way beyond the confides of a weekday!
The train ran on time and it was like a spa treatment to have time to read my book!
The show was fantastic and I got to see Jo Bell’s film poem ‘Lifted’ on a giant screen. I will amend this post when I am back online at home to add details of the performance and performers.
The library (I have just discovered) closes at 5pm … I did wonder why all the PC’s were booked out at 16:45 bang goes my idea of relaxing for an hour before the studio show this evening.
I will have to venture into town for food and drink!
Hardships!
I am enjoying my last day in this poetry skin and can’t wait to look at my notebook and find all the musings these great poets and writers have left me with.
As I made my way out Rachel who has written a 30000 story over the 10 days of the festival, finished. 30053 Final word count! I made it downstairs in time for photos and cake…. Narrowly missed the sparkly champers. Managed to congratulate her and snap a picture or two before the library closed!
Happy Writing
Keep reading the old stuff as I am still offline and helpless….
