Listening to : Gypsy – I Trance You
At the risk of repeating myself, take a look at the photo above. I swear to you it was taken exactly a week after the one in the previous post, give or take a couple of hours. This is why the M62 is nicknamed Satan’s Slip-Road (which is not, as some people presume an anal reference) or the Devil’s Highway. It can be pretty grisly driving across there it must be said. It’s also a reasonable depiction of the reality of what a British August looks like. On this particular trip (last evening) I almost had to pull over because my windscreen wipers didn’t have a fast enough setting to deal with the sheer ferocity of the downpour.
To say I need a dose of sunshine pretty soon would be an understatement pop-kids, and there are currently plans underway on that one. However, in the shorter term I’m in the mood for a bit of Balearica (see music link above). That track was featured on a cassette mixtape I played constantly on my Sony Walkman way back in the mists of time. The actual tape became so thin with use you could see through it. Such simple times. On the same topic, there is also a Balearic session on the cards this very evening in downtown Liverpool that should help matters somewhat. My Urban Sombrero is coming out tonight. Am thinking sunny thoughts as we speak by way of preparation. Will report back amigos.
