A rebel without a clue.

Mr Grimsdale.

I've been motivated since my arrival back in Wetherby, but I feel pretty crap physically today. I think it is amazing the amount of adrendelin I must've used in the past week since I frantically camped in Opatija and got back to the Wetherby from Trieste on Sunday afternoon/evening. I need to catch up with folks and properly float back into Wetherby. I am happy to be here actually. Makes a change to feel I can work locally and chill out without that thing I try to find in the places I've worked recently. I've been active on the job front and have already got an interview on Friday. I saw Franco at Sant' Angelo yesterday, but I had a deaf ear and I look a little ragged with my wispy thinning hair. I explained I'd had a tough time getting back home so excuse my appearence. I think it went well and I hope I can work there into the New Year and beyond; the amount that can be learnt from Italian chef must be huge. I've actually made only Italian style food si...

I am a long standing fan of both Atlas Sound and Deerhunter so its good to see a new offering from him/them. On first listen it is very very good. Its rated highly on RYM and I'd accept that this is my favourite album other than Joanna Newsom's Have One On Me for 2010.

My Music on RYM I am a huge fan of RYM and the concept behind it.

Sardines, anchovies and calamari I recorded this video the day after the wine festival in Rovinj They provided free Sardines to go with the wine all night(until they and the wine had run dry) I really liked both the Teran variety(red) and the Malvasia Istriana(white) from the festival. One of my only souvenirs from my Holiday is the glass holder I was given form the celebration.

Well I am back...what a multiple journey. Not again for a while. It has really taken the wind out of my sails(I got into a warm bed at 00:23 and slept so snoringly soundly). Went for a short walk with Mister Dogg and played a while. He's so easy to reaquaint with. I've seen him once since May. Job interview tonight at Sant' Angelo hopefully I can say and do enough to fill a gap in their schedule up to and over the New Year. Fingers crossed. Need to cut my barnet fair tonight and have an early one. By tomorrow I won't be so knackered. Try boiling some sliced potatoes leaving to dry when they are just at the crumbly or breaking stage. add parsley, white wine vinegar, garlic. simple to accompany Sardines deep fried for a few minutes(salt pepper and a little flour). gobble and enjoy with a chilled Malvasia Like the very enjoyable Istrian variety produced by Vina Ritoša

The three of us left the hostel after shameful breadroll breakfast which only I ate. There were two jams: cherry or strawberry, but both looked and tasted of slightly fruity overly sugary dull redness. Coffee good which all three drank copiously. I was taken over by the coffee. Chattering too much and needed to cool off 'so see you outside'. Swiss guy. Starring over the room to me at 7am. Came in last late and went to bed in middle aged thermal vest and longish shorts. Zurich scary guy. Axe murderer or sexual pervert Herr Lipp in leather shorts and vest. Spat food in my general direction at breakfast: we both saw that didn't we. The tongue reached out and reclaimed it like the toad he was. Had the ear of two Australians who were visibly scared...terrified in fact. How can certain nations produce such stereotypes? I didn't try conversation there. He was too interested in my attire. Fritz in the making. Circumstance has made me a hermit for a month. Even now when I me...
