So it turned out that Turtlebox had to miss the gig this eve. Apparently one of the band members had an accident and his ribs came off second best.

A pity, since I’ve been looking forward to it all week. Yeah I know, I only found out about it last week. Get well soon, band man.

It still turned out to be an enjoyable eve with m8s, accompanied by the acoustic renditions by Cam and Kieran of what are usually Daisycutters songs. The songs lose a bit of zing in the conversion to the unplugged format, it has to be said.

It’s getting close to exam season, it is too close to even keep worrying about it. The hard work having been done, I make another tentative step closer to being able to leave this institution that has sapped so much energy from my life.
