To Holyhead and beyond...

Now, I remembered Holyhead as being a dump in the back of beyond that you wouldn't want to go to. Actually, on a sunny day it's quite nice, and if you read on there's some pictures later. We also had a very nice boat to take us across. Quick, cheap, nice chairs, typical dodgy food. Sadly as...

awake and sleep say a few words in passing before a shift change

sometimes, when i dream you're around again i want to demand that something be left behind for the eye opening. like storms, who talk all night and then leave a bunch of sticks for you to pick up. i'd rather clean up a real mess, shake out a knotted muscle, rest and rub it for...

and back home again

Just to complete the map, we did get back to Manchester. Ok, we nearly missed the plane, but luckily boarding was delayed anyway.

To the airport...to Barcelona...too little sleep...

Well, we set off from Manchester at some ungodly hour of the morning. Wendy took immense care to wake me as early as possible by making as much noise as possible...which was kind of her I thought... I'd never flown before, but to be honest the only bad thing was the stupid amount of time it...

Back to the UK

your last name will always be older than your first

the tendency to go the same roads home. to slip into the same booth the waitress, cashier, bank teller feels good, smart even, remembering your order. already grilling, pouring before the vinyl has warmed its hands on your neck. smoke clouding the kitchen sky like birds in autumn and ash...

london, you grandparent

on the way to buy an apple and a pear, i found a scarf on the sidewalk, dabbing the slim wrists of the street with a smell like cherry tobacco. i try to recognize myself in you, london. you grandparent. you practical gift giver. but it obvious our childhoods were so different. it is obvious...

Setting Off

OK, technically Wendy gave me a lift to Birkenhead, but it seems a better place to start... While I actually like Birkenhead (you have to see the Giant Grasshopper, and the historic warships, and of course the view across the Mersey), the docks aren't very nice, so no pictures! Suffice to...
