Vix, what are you sorry for?
Wednesday 21st July 03.25pm
Ok, so on Monday, Rosie and went back to mine and got stoned. Chatted for a couple of hours then she went home and i texted one of Brads friends to come and give me a lift moving the last of my stuff from my old house. Ironic really, as i don't think i can afford to pay the rent on the new house.
Once the stuff was moved, i headed down to the beach to meet Dave and we had a bit of a burn. Then the kids turned up (see last monday's entry) and we had an audience yet again! Brad wasn't there because he's a girl and stayed home to have an early night.
I got some truly wicked burns on my hands and arms from doing the double wrist wrap weave thingy. They look like ritual scarring. Trippy. The girl who works in the beach café asked me if i was going to a party this weekend. I told her that of course i would be, and am now trying to find out where it is/how to get there etc.
Came home from the beach, emptied the sand out of my shoes and had some dinner, which i ate whilst watching the last of Jeeves & Wooster. Then blessed sleep.

Tuesday i got up at 10.30am and went to work. Had a pretty lazy day, spent a good portion of it sitting around chatting to my mate Tom. Tom apparently plays bass, so maybe we'll get together for a jam at some point. Could be a laff. Came back from work via Falmouth cop shop, as i got pulled over and given a producer last week. Gave them all me documents, and the whole thing only took about 10 minutes. Groovy.
I went home and played guitar for a couple of hours. Then i played with my staff for about an hour. Then i went to the pub and played pool until Rosie finished work at 9. We proceeded to have a few more drinks.
A word about scrumpy. I know a lot of people are under the misguided impression that cider and scrumpy are the same thing, or at least very closely linked. I would like to dispell that notion once and for all. Admittedly, apples feature prominently in the production of both (except maybe Strongbow, but that's not proper cider anyway) but that's a bit like saying we're the same as cows because we both have blood and flesh and bone.
Cider is a beautiful drink. Scrumpy is the urine of a horse that has eaten only apples, and the occasional bit of old tyre.
Just thought i'd mention it.
We picked up some green and headed back to mine. I cooked food, Rosie rolled spliffs. Then we ate. Then we both rolled spliffs. I was at one point so stoned i couldn't move my eyes. Must have passed out around 5ish. Woke up briefly to the sound of Rosie rolling a spliff around 10am, then woke up again at 2pm. She would have left for work shortly before i think. At least she remembered to take her bloody glasses with her this time.
My house is a state. I really need to sort out the huge piles of boxes that occupy every corner. and i need to somehow find a couple of hundred quid to pay the rent, but that's another story.
I just got a video email from Brads phone of him playing with the prototype glow staff. Little fucker. I'm off to track him down and blag some EL wire.
Rock on.

Rosie is a very good friend that i met in the pub about a month ago. The one with the same name as my mum? She's wicked.
As Spanner will attest.

Right, i gotta scoot, cos the college shuts at 5pm in holiday time. Although there's a very pretty blonde sitting behind me. *slaps himself round the face*
Have a lovely evening all. I'm off to the beach to play. Brad's gonna bring the glo-staff for some further experimentation.

Wednesday 22nd July 4.41pm
Ok, so yesterday when i left you i had just got a video email of Brad playing with a glow staff. I managed to track him down at work, and he came over to mine when he finished. he has purchased some EL wire (electroluminescent in case you were wondering) which can be strapped onto a staff or tied onto poi. It looks amazing too, the battery pack has a strobe option which looks very groovy. I'll keep you posted with developments.
We went to the beach for a burn, entertained the tourists a bit, then headed to the pub for a quick one before closing. The nice cider's still off so i had to partake of the evil scrumpy. Then we wandered back to mine and watched the Falmouth 1 footage from beginning to end. It's like having lots of poi and staff lessons on one disc, there's no end to the amount of stuff i'm learning by being able to watch people over and over again. We spent a good long while watching ben-ja-men playing with his staff on slow-mo. Very very very very very coool.
Then we watched "Made" and Brad went home. I fell asleep.
Woke up at 10.30am and quickly shaved and showered then rode to work. These little 4 hour shifts are a bit silly. I get there, move stuff about, then it's time to go. Still, it was my managers birthday on Monday so tonight i'm going out for a staff meal. What fun!
Two weeks today and people will be arriving at my house for Falmouth II. I'm so excited i could invade a third world country and plunder their oil supplies.
Must bugger off as college is closing now. Love you all, see you all later.

My pleasure Vix. For Gods sake woman, yer 18 now, you are allowed to stay up past midnight!
Just realised that my last post was made on Thursday 22nd, not Wednesday. Silly me.
Ok. To catch up then:
Thursday 22nd July (Evening)
I went to my friend Charlie's house about 7pm. Had a joint so i wouldn't be the only stoned one at the staff dinner. Showed him how to put juggling balls into socks to make poi. Nearly broke his lightbulb.
We wandered round the corner to his girlfriends house (who also works at the same place) and she drove us to Truro, where we were to sample the culinary delights of Pizza Express. Cos we're that classy, us.
I hate staff meals. Here is why:
1) The only thing connecting most people there is work. Therefore all they have to talk about is work. So it's kind of like being at work.
2) Being at work isn't so bad. I get paid at least. Don't get paid for staff meals, but we do get some of the food and booze paid for, so this should be a good thing. Except it isn't quite like being at work. Because everyone's trying overly hard to show that they're not at work by being "wacky" and "zany" or whatever the 50's sitcom word is. This is rather pathetic, and makes one question yet again, the intellectual strictures that we impose upon ourselves as a society.
3) Since the meal is to celebrate the managers birthday, and the manager doesnt smoke, i have to go outside to get stoned. Honestly. I ask you.
There you have it. Add in to this the fact that i am totally deaf in my right ear, stir in a pinch of background noise and a whole heap of exciteable yelping from my colleagues and you have the recipe for a truly memorable night out.
The salad nicoise was excellent however. I highly recommend it.
Left restaurant, got lift home, fell asleep.

Friday 23rd July
Woke up. Showered, blah, blah, blahblah. Went to work. Blah blah blah. Started to leave work. Got as far as my bike. Inserted key into bike and key did not turn.
Lady came out of shop. Lady say "Is your bike broken?" I say "Yes" she say "Old man hit it with car" I say "Oh f*ck sh*t b*gger" she say " its ok i have number plate" i say " thank you"
and toddled off to ring the police.
Police gave me a log number and told me to produce my documents at Falmouth cop shop. Twice in a week! How cool is that?
Rang dad (hand bloke to know) and he told me how start the bike by wiggling the (now slightly bent) handlebars whilst turning the key. Sorted. What a beauty. Rode home.
I stopped in at Brads and took the L plates off my bike. (Naughty naughty). Then he and i rode to my house and had a smoke. Then we packed up our [censored] and headed for the beach, even though it was only 7pm and the sun wouldn't set for ages.
We played on the beach (mainly with a staff) for bloody ages. Getting a lot better at it too. One of Brads mates strolled by and told us of a party happening later on. Sounded good. Spoke to Dave on the phone and he said that he and the little college kids and their mentors would be coming down again.
I popped into the beach cafe to buy a beer and some chips, and there were two coppers in there. I asked them about the whole "between the high tide line and the sea is common ground" thing, and they confirmed it. So it seems that all the times we've been moved on by the police, all we had to do was go and spin by the waters edge. Paddle spinning, if you will.
Darkness fell. Brad wandered off to the shop to buy munchies. I had a burn and got some moderate applause from the grannies. Met a girl called Nat who works in the kitchen of the cafe. She spins a bit. She wandered off after eliciting a promise that we wouldn't go to the party without her.
Brad came back. We ate chocolate. Then the kids arrived. We span for a bit, i got some new burns from doing wrist wraps. Nat came back, had a bit of a spin. Then Brad Nat and I wandered up the cliff to where we thought the party was.
After wandering around in the dark for a bit without any success, we sat down for a joint and looked at the stars for a bit. They were out in full force, and i kept thinking i was on Mokey Island. Kept expecting to see big ghostly pirate ships heaving to around the point. That's what too many drogas and too much computer gaming as a child does to you.
We gave up and started walking back towards town when Nat offered us hot chocolate at her place. Never being the sort to refuse free chocolate based products, we readily agreed. We went. We darnk chocolate. We smoke some green. I tinkled on her guitar (not like that!) and then we left. Headed back to mine and went to sleep, Brad crashed in my housemates room. He won't mind. Or know.

Spoke to Dave on the phone and he said that he and the little college kids and their mentors would be coming down again.
I popped into the beach cafe to buy a beer and some chips, and there were two coppers in there. I asked them about the whole "between the high tide line and the sea is common ground" thing, and they confirmed it. So it seems that all the times we've been moved on by the police, all we had to do was go and spin by the waters edge. Paddle spinning, if you will.
Darkness fell. Brad wandered off to the shop to buy munchies. I had a burn and got some moderate applause from the grannies. Met a girl called Nat who works in the kitchen of the cafe. She spins a bit. She wandered off after eliciting a promise that we wouldn't go to the party without her.
Brad came back. We ate chocolate. Then the kids arrived. We span for a bit, i got some new burns from doing wrist wraps. Nat came back, had a bit of a spin. Then Brad Nat and I wandered up the cliff to where we thought the party was.
After wandering around in the dark for a bit without any success, we sat down for a joint and looked at the stars for a bit. They were out in full force, and i kept thinking i was on Mokey Island. Kept expecting to see big ghostly pirate ships heaving to around the point. That's what too many drogas and too much computer gaming as a child does to you.
We gave up and started walking back towards town when Nat offered us hot chocolate at her place. Never being the sort to refuse free chocolate based products, we readily agreed. We went. We darnk chocolate. We smoke some green. I tinkled on her guitar (not like that!) and then we left. Headed back to mine and went to sleep, Brad crashed in my housemates room. He won't mind. Or know.

sure it wasn't her one stinged banjo? Sorry couldn't resist.
I think that party was only 30 minutes walk away, how could you miss it!
At least one good thing came of your bike incident, you now know what a steering lock is!! Have you heard any more about the driver who hit it? Is it badly damaged?

Woke up 9am. Felt like death. Rang work and made (reasonably) plausible excuse about bike not starting. Said i had to wait for a mechanic. They sounded pissed off, but they'll live i'm sure. Slept some more. Brad wandered in around 12ish and said "Hey, aren't you meant to be at work." I rolled a joint.
We sat around listening to tunes and smoking for a bit. We rang Josh to tell him about the party tonight and started getting ourselves sorted. I went and cashed a cheque at the pub, and bought:
8 litres Paraffin
2 bottle red wine
1 bottle water
two bags of ten jam doughnuts
2 tubes of Pringles
1 bar of Galaxy
1/4 Oz of Weed
and then took my documents to the Police Station to report the incident. The lady there was very helpful and told me to ring my insurance company.
Went home, took the L plates off the bike again. Packed as much stuff as possible into my rucksack. Then tied the tent to it. Josh went off to catch the bus to the party, taking the staves with him. I had to help Brad lift the rucksack onto his back.
Somehow we fit me, Brad, and the feckin great rucksack full of stuff onto my little bike and proceeded to ride west, through Helston and northwest to Porthleven. We were heading for a place called Loe Bar. It is quite possibly one of the most beautiful places i have ever been in my entire life. I mean it, it's stunning. Look here.
We were obviously the first ones there, so we set up our tent and built a fire for later. Rang Josh, but the bus hadn't turned up, so he was stranded back in Falmouth with no way of getting out. Brad rang a girl he knows who was planning on coming and hooked her up with Josh to bring him and the stuff.
While wandering around the cliffs and beaches, we finally found some people carrying wood for a fire. We had found the party. We helped them set up their marquee and stuff, and then Brad and I carried a generator down a cliffside in the dark. That was quite a bizarre experience. By the time they actually got the rig set up and the music playing, it was dark and there were about a hundred people round the fire. Josh got there in the end and he, Brad and I burned for about 6 hours. I have numerous new burns on my arms and wrists, some should leave quite interesting scars. It was a good party. I burned three of my fingers quite badly on some Magnesium ribbon, and about 4ish I started thinking about Mojo and what she might be up to at WOMAD without me.
I texted her to say i missed her. I don't really know why i bother, but it still feels important that i tell her that i love her, despite the fact that her feelings for me have stopped. Or were never there. Or whatever.
Around half 6 i lost the last of my weed. I wandered to the next beach and crashed in the tent.

Sunday 25th July
Woke up around 11am. Brad must just have bumbled through the tent doors and passed out. The wind was howling, and the sky, while very blue, had fat white boyracer clouds steaming across it. The tent was leaning at a funny angle. I wanted a fag and didnt have a lighter. Felt like poo.
So i woke Brad up.
We packed up the tent despite the wind, and were amazed to see, as we walked along the cliff path back to the car park, that we had been both first to arrive for the party, and last to leave. They had packed everything up, cleaned up all the rubbish and gone. Pretty groovy. We perched on the bike and rode back to mine.
Collapsed in the lounge and drank repeated cups of Earl Grey to try and restore some sort of mental equilibrium. Stood in the shower for about three quarters of an hour, trying to get all the black marks off my skin. Failed. Got most of them off though. My burns look cool.
Brad then had a shower while i made sausage sandwiches. They were mighty good. Rosie came over and the three of us sat and got stoned. We listened to:
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Morcheeba - Who Can You Trust?
Mother Earth - The People Tree
Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
and some other assorted stuff like Placebo and Kristin Hersh and Curtis Mayfield.
Then we went to the pub. Cider tasted gooooood. Ate some peanuts and played some pool. Brad was flaking so he headed home to sleep. Rosie and i had another pint then rang up to order some weed, which we collected on the way back to mine. By this point it had somehow reached 9 o clock, so we got stoned and watched Hullabaloo. Then we watched City of God. Much coolness. Then we fell asleep.

Ok. That about brings me up to today. I woke up briefly around 6am when Rosie departed for work. Then again about 10ish. Then again about 12. Had a spliff and cursed myself for not buying more milk so i could drink tea. Had another one to get over it. Then had a shower. Still can't get all the black marks off me. Can't tell if some of my burns are 2nd degree, or if the metalwork of the poi has just caught and scratched me at the same time. Who cares? Not me.
Then i came to college to up date this. It's taken a while.
I need to go into town in a bit to go to the bank. I have to ask them to extend my overdraft. If they don't i am officially fecked. I need the money to pay my rent. Here's hoping eh?

Good luck with the bank Mags!!
Maybe cheap hash instead of expensive greenery would save you a few quid towards it every month!
Loe Pool looks lovely, is it far from you?
