Kilmarnock Moves

It’s been an eventful few days. I got the keys for the flat on Friday after a fair amount of running around then I went home on Saturday. I haven’t actually been sleeping on the street, I’ve been staying with my old pal Gregor Johnston and his girl which mostly involved playing lots of Zelda on the Gamecube (highly recommended), which was great.

So I went for the train on Saturday and bumped into Kerry MacKenzie, started chatting and ended up on the same train because she was going to Prestwick to meet someone. And when the wee man with the tickets eventually came round I found out that I wasn’t actually on the train to Kilmarnock. This sort of thing happens to me intermittently so it’s never a great shock but it can be pretty annoying. All I know is that I was watching the board waiting for the train to Killie, the platform number came up, I went to that platform, got on the train and ended up in Irvine.

Came back on Sunday and moved all of my stuff into the flat. (My mum gave me a small plant that is covered in purple hair). Then I visited Charlie and Lotte who live just round the corner then went round and visited Alex Frost and Alan Michael who live sort of just up the road. I drank some beer and slept on the sofa.

Today I need to do some flat stuff like sorting out bills and getting something to sleep on, and Rob needs to move in too. My computer is still in a box in Killie but I’m trying to update whenever I can.

I am in the gallery and we have just been visited by the Environmental Health. I can’t stand these type of people. Real straight-down-the-line do-gooders with no brain working for The Man. Patronising as fuck. So she pointed out that the table saw is dangerous. Really? I kept thinking about the time I was sawing an 8 by 4 MDF board on it. There wasn’t enough room so I had to bend the board up and sideways. The saw wasn’t flat on the ground and was rocking diagonally and I was tight against the wall standing on logs. Then she reminded us that it’s easy to fall off of ladders. And apparently it’s not that uncommon to be killed by it. Take note all you ladder climbers out there.
