Reading 2006

I don't generally believe in fate but decided to take it up on it's offer this weekend.

Firstly I left my coat at John's house so we had to turn back whilst on the way to Yatton train station. That meant I missed my train.

I almost missed another as i'd lost my phone. I thought i'd left it on John's car seat but as the train pulled in I asked the ticket guy and it turned out i'd left it on the counter.

I got my train and then changed at Bristol Temple Meads to get my Paddington train. This was delayed due to strike action of Bridge workers just outside Bristol.

I was half asleep as we were pulling into Reading when I got a text from Shaz.

"Tickets are on sale from towts (spelling?) for £45. Come along!"

I had about 30 seconds to make my mind up...

Not much went through my mide to be honest other that "Aw.... Fuck it! Why not..."

So that's what I did. I legged it off the train and walked towards the Rivermead Centre from Reading Station.

Pretty glad I did it. I had a great laugh.

I only really saw Belle and Sebastian and Bodycount but they were excellent.

I got one of the last trains home and got a cab back to Putney from Paddington. All in all quite an eventful day...
