Today Gill, Billy, Steph and I were due to head over to Ed and Carla’s in Whitley Bay for some scran and drinks before setting of to the Fat Ox to see the Russ Tippins Band in action. Some of you who have been visiting this page for a while may recognise Russ as the chap who kindly offered his experience to help me purchase a guitar last year. The band only play within striking distance of public transport once every couple of months so we were looking forward to taking the opportunity. However, Gill had to pop down to see Ed last night about work only to find him suffering from various ailments and tonight’s plans were cancelled.
I feel sorry for Carla who was really looking forward to playing host and had already bought in many of the provisions. This isn’t the first time we’ve had to cancel something due to Ed’s ailments and I hope she is p**sed off enough with him to force him to see a specialist because so far he has ignored what is an obvious problem. *Rant over* Seriously though, I do hope he takes time out to get himself checked over because I’m only too aware that a nasty diagnosis could be sitting there waiting to be discovered and the longer you leave them...
I had a bad night again last night due to insomnia and felt quite rough this morning. I now manage about 2 hour’s uninterrupted sleep a night which isn’t exactly ideal. I wanted to do something but didn’t feel up to trailing around town for a couple of hours. In the end Gill and I headed out in the car just to get out and eventually landed at Billy and Steph’s. Steph had been unwell the previous day and was relaxing in the bath when we arrived so we sat and chatted to Billy until she surfaced. Things had improved slightly overnight and she was feeling a little brighter than yesterday but not up to playing Warcraft so offered her computer for my use. As much as I wanted to jump up and get online that’s not why we had popped out so I insisted on being sociable for a while longer. OK a short while longer.
Billy and I logged on and he brought his Paladin out for a play which is just as well as I had jumped ahead of myself and was trying quests for higher level players. His healing skills were in great demand although we did have to utilise Resurrect on my character on more than one occasion. Sam was also online at the same time and posted my character several nice, useful items which although for a higher level character, are now sitting in the bank awaiting my advancement. Steph also popped online to throw even more items at me so I must have the best equipped level 10 rogue on the server by now.
We played for a couple of hours, getting Itwasntme up to 10th level, before we retired back to the living room to watch Newcastle put on a workmanlike but effective display in beating Everton 2:0. Things are really looking up at Newcastle since the departure of Graeme Souness, we are now unbeaten in 5 games and have won 4 of them. However neither Glenn Roeder nor Alan Shearer have the required couching badges to enable them to continue in post until the end of the season so something is going to have to be sorted before then. I hope Fat Freddie has enough nonce to employ a sensible couch this time i.e. not Sam Allardice or Paul Jewel, otherwise it will be a case of one step forward and two back.
In the end we didn’t make it to see Russ play and I was in bed before 9. If I had been out I may have lasted longer but who knows? As it happens I had yet another poor night and was awake again by 2 am. Ho hum.
