Saturday: This was a last minute decision when Mills told me him and Steve would be going to this show and I booked a ticket Thursday morning. Steve picked me up from my house, drove Nadine home after spending the night at his. Got lost trying to find Mills, so I called him and he said he'd get a lift down to where we were....

Tuesday: Went down the Tap way too early as I normally do when I'm paranoid I'm going to get there too late for the one band I really want to see. After a while of hanging about by myself I got my wristband to see the bands. Later Geoff, Lindsay and some of her friends came down, they saw me by myself and took pity...

Monday: Turn up at the RBLI, go to the Signs manager office, he pairs me up with this guy Ray who shows me how make a sign, I do two, get one off centre so he doesn't let me do another, spend the rest of the day filing and sanding down the sides of the signs for him, something he could have easily...

So I'm taking a part time job making road signs in fucking Aylesford, which I don't really want to do but they basically giving me the job and I need something to do while I waiting for an office job and the voluntary thing fell through (although the woman at the agency is still trying to get me a placement so all is not lost...

Thursday: Got the train to Canterbury from Chatham, took a wrong turn trying to find the same way I found Beercart Arms when I was last here but made it on time. After paying on the door I saw the members of Wired and Nadine go into the men's room to take a new photo for their MySpace. Had a chat for a while, watched...

Friday: Tattoo is healed up alright but still feels very tender. Went to the Mean Fiddler box office to try and get a ticket for Witchcraft at the Borderline in December but they don't handle tickets for them anymore, went to the Borderline and got the address for their new box office somewhere in Camden I don't know, said you can also get tickets through...

Tuesday: Preparation: a load of greasy chips, a double Espresso, an energy drink and a bar of Vegan chocolate. Ray told me my Dukes Of Nothing sleeve is in a tattoo book that Bizarre just put out (I'll have to get on that, I sent them a picture in the hope that they'd put it in the magazine, but this is still cool). For this...

A quick note on my personal life. Kent County Council did this thing were they picked a couple of disabled people and had them work for a day in two of their offices (basically they've had a slap on the wrist because their hiring diversity is shit), I got picked to work in the library depot in King's Hill. They had me discharge books that...

Friday: I'm so jaded with going to London that I didn't even realise where I was 'til I was walking down Oxford Street. Went to Sister Ray and got a Nick Cave album. I was walking to Virgin when this guy walking by my said "excuse me mate" and pressed down on the visor of my cap and continued walking without breaking stride, I still...

Saturday: I think my stomach has gotten smaller since Reading, I tried skipping a few meals because I didn't want to use the campsite toilets as much and now I can't eat the same amount of food I used to without feeling uncomfortable. Got the bus to Chatham and a return ticket to Dartford. One of the Victoria trains was cancelled "due to an assult...

Wednesday: It's the waiting that's the worst part, I get bored and go out too early. Got the Charring Cross train from Rochester. Went into the bookshop near Trafalgar Square then walked up to the national portrait gallery only to find they make you pay for the decent exhibitions now, started walking towards Soho and decided I'd have fun by getting myself lost in the...

Sunday: Today felt doomed from the start. Had to walk to Strood station in the pissing rain, couldn't get a train to Charring Cross as the station was closed that day so I got off at London Bridge and made my way to Camden. Went...
