Far North? Not Far Enough. (Second blog today)

Perth, still ages to go.

  
As you can tell from my train tickets!

  
I fell asleep and missed the Cairngorms. I’ll catch them on the way back. The ambient weather gave way to cold rain before I arrived in Inverness. It’s just getting ready to punish me again for being English. It’s ok guys, I’m pure African like us all if we go back far enough. Six hours at the moment before I get to Wick. The landlady is leaving the key to my room in the porch. Breakfast at 8.30 and a bus to J O’G at 9.45. I’ll be happy to get walking. I’m tooled up with waterproofs and stuff. Including second hand boots identical to Chas and Dave, but in much better nick. 

  
I didn’t tell them I was going away. Didn’t tell Wilson either but I think I’ll need a tent and Wilson would let midges roam freely over my exposed bits. My sister has a theory that they will bite my old scrotum and lay eggs which will burst their way out as pupae. Charmer. 

This is a normal person in Inverness. He’s called ‘the Accused’.

  
OK voice of reasonableness – only a joke. Jesus.

This was parked in Perth. Antonia. Drool over it.

  
I was in Cornwall with my old mate Bow Chip last week. What a time we had, it was great. He is awaiting some medical treatment, not mentally-related surprisingly enough, so we said we’d do summat again when he gets that out of the way. Circumcisions are never easy things at his age.

  
He’d never caught a fish in his life. Bless. Then he copped a load of em on a boat we took out for a full day. Good old kid.

  
I stopped at Bristol on the way down and got a ticket for Rovers’ last match of the season. They had to win and Accrington had to draw and then the Gas would get promoted to League One. In the 92nd minute the Gas scored. The place erupted but I kept quiet as I could only get a ticket in the away end. I slipped out and joined Bavs, Chris and Rob, my Gashead mates. The news came through. Accrington could only draw. What a day! Gas are up!

  
Still here in Inverness.

Laters.
