Cap'n Bex: Two little fleas, 33.

Corr, the weather isn't half getting better. Hello little blog. Sneeze. Sneeze.
The weather really is going all noice and springy, yesturday Squelchy and I sat on the less tourist half of the quay down by Chain Locker and basked in the sun whilst eating pasties & Guinness cake. Then later we were joined by Mr O'Shea and we all skipped off to Gyll, where we bumped into Kristian & companion. The 3 of us all resorted to removing socks & such and jumping about in the shallow cooold water (and falling over in it) and it was la-la-laaaaavly! What makes things better is that I have a jar with daffodils in it (from the daffodil man near Tescos - £1 for 10). I've put some blue food dye in the water, so the flowers which are open have little blue flecks in their petals. Eeee.

What to write. Ummm. Yes! We had a gig at 5 Degrees West last Saturday which went well, it was a mini beer/ale fest thing so lots of pubby local sorts and also a group of our good friendios were there, I think it went well. VERY hot though in our little singing corner. But free Betty Stoggs alllll night, and we carried on singing well after our gig with a couple of chaps (Nigel & Mark!) from another shanty band called The Falmouth Shout.
Next gig pleeeease!

I finished my essay, well... yes, it's finished. And my Paris project is DONE, though I still need to print & mount it all (may leave that until the end of the year, just to keep everything neat until then). Here, have a look at it:

Not sure why there are STILL black / grey lines at the sides of a couple of the images, but I'll trim them off when I print.

My current project is a poster project, 3 posters for either Glastonbury fest 2010 (40th anniversary! I'll be there!) or this years Falmouth Sea Shanty festival. I'm yet to choose one, and also to actually START the project... since I've done nothing since Monday. Oops.
We're holding a 1950's party on Saturday, Vera is dressing me up and such. I'll certainly look different to usual.
And then my birthday next weekend, mum & Elk will be down to visit since Elk will be from a Plymouth open day, so I shall make sure to get dragged out for a meal! Nom nom nom.
NEWS! It is now 4 minutes past midnight on FRIDAY 12th March. I am a smidge drunk. Shanty practise and then some of us sang at open mic night at The 'front (again). Zef, if you are reading this, TURN UP TO DAMNED PRACTISE! Mermaid, please. Accidently, I coughed on my hand before nearly high 5ing Mr Drinkwater, apologies to him for ALMOST spreading non-germy germs since I don't have a cold or nout. Mmmm, this Sunday we're off to Dan & Lisa's new forge for a "forge warming party" which should be very good. I hope that crazy Dave is there, and that he brings his twanging box. Anyhoo, I have nothing more of a constructive nature to write, so I shall LOB images at ye!
