Precursor

A bit of a day of it, all in all.

Pancakes for kids and sleepover guest and then out to a preview screening of 45 Years - I thought it was tremendous, proper cinema for grown-ups.

Next up, pre-birthday prep and activities at home before the Fanfare performance rocked up mid-arvo in the park opposite my house, there must have been a couple of hundred people there watching - brilliant!

And then, after my girls had gone off along the canal to a pal's for a water fight and to be fed I nipped into town to see a little recorded-for-TV performance by FFS at the BBC festival site. What can I say? I've got tickets for the concert proper by them tomorrow night and after witnessing them run through just three songs tonight (albeit two of them got done twice for technical reasons) I don't think I've looked forward to a gig this much in years. Roll on tomorrow!

Tempting as it is to link to an FFS track I'll forego that today, but instead go for something that cropped up in my head during this morning's film.

"From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads"
