are you with me?!

Day 2 train journey continued..

Had to write again. The view on this train journey is lush. We pass through the lake district and the view is amazing, its as though nature is putting on a special show for me, canny. These hills look like giant dogs laid out on their bellies. Little houses tucked away on hillsides, which you hope inhabit this crazy old dude seeking solitude from society to live a pure life coexisting peacefully with nature (if so he's f**ked though, cause he's right by a trainline, poor sod. No wonder he hates everyone eh).

Anyway..all I wanted to say was that it is geet bonny outside. If you haven't visited this part o england then gan ahead n do it, get a few mates together and rent a cottage and go on mega treks into the wilderness.

17/04/10 Day 2:

Sooo..went to the Cavern club yesterday, the lovely security dude drew us a map (and a very good map at that ;-)). Had my photo taken with the John Lennon statue and am now a happy little lass (unless I look rank in it, innniiiit).

The gig was canny, the crowd were lovely. I understand there is a fair amount of patience necessary when watching my act and that people coming to a shakespeares sisters gig are in the mood for having a good old dance. Instead they are greeted with morbid sombre tales of bitter housewives and unrequited love. I am extremely grateful to everyone who is polite and quiet and claps loudly. Liverpool were a beautiful attentive bunch!! xx

Off tee Glasgeee nooo..

Tis a shame we can't spend too much time there as it is one of my favourite cities, but hopefully we'll be able to sneak a visit in to that junk shop in the west end. Its blooming marvellous, full of stuff and Yasmine and Nadine like stuff! very much.

Most importantly I get to practice my glasweigen accent, which at present even if i do say so myself is pretty damn convincing. All i need to do is learn to say something other than 'cheeky hooch' and 'one step closer n i'll bite your nose off'.

Iron Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Get to f**k, get it up yeeeh.

...sorry.

THERE'S BEEN A MURDER!

Soundtrack of the day: PJ Harvey- Stories from the city, stories from the sea.

Love the way she sings "when we walked through, LITTLE ITALY" in Good Fortune.
Track 3, A Place Called Home....ahhhhhhhhhhhhh PJ PJ PJ, I love ya. This is a class train travel song, I like it blasting on my ipod (not so loud you hurt your ears..take care of them!) walking real slow in rush hour on Oxford Street on a Saturday.

Shakespeares Sister Tour Diary 16/04/10 Day one:

up at silly o clock in the morning, hopped on that free bendy bus to Euston (have to take full advantage of it while its still in action). Arrive at station, city fellas with umbrellas all darting about, even busier today what with all this volcanic ash floating about stopping flights (I like talking about the volcanic ash, it sounds like something out of an apocalyptic film..brilliant...."RUN FOR THE HILLS!!").

Yasmine (my travel companion/best mate...carer) and I enjoyed a lovely breakfast of sushi and croissants.

Am currently sat on the train, en route to Liverpool. If we don't get time to do at least one beatles related thing the next post I write will be full of f**ks and b***rds! To avoid such things I will make an extra special effort to do so.

Aw no SINBAD!
