So today went almost entirely according to plan.
My first port of call was the library where I was set to work locating local history books - which wasn't exactly a walk in the park when the book codes weren't necessarily in numerical order.... Following that, I grabbed myself some lunch in the form of a salad-loaded turkey flatbread from Subway which I enjoyed in the Drake Memorial Park overlooking the reservoir fountains. Then it was down to the first stop on my Plymouth Arts Weekender schedule. I would detail exactly how the next 2 1/2 hours from 1.30-4pm went but as I've already written about it all in great [enough] detail on my other blog, I shall instead direct you there - so follow this link. Good. Now once I'd finished all of that, I had one of two options: either head over to the uni campus and grab myself a pasty just as the Cider and Pasty Festival gets heated up OR grab some groceries and go home to write up my review THEN go to the festival. Turned out that the former option may have been the better one as by the time I'd cranked out a decent review and got down to campus, the cider was the only thing still flowing. I did, however, hear a chorus of people calling my name and find myself in the company of my former flatmates Panksy and Charlotte once again - made up for the lack of pasty alright. I contented myself with a Ginster's Cornish pasty from the SU Shop before returning home to heat it up, pop open a bottle of Old Mout Kiwi and Lime cider (decent substitutes) and post my review in various places.
Tomorrow will see me scouting out the exhibitions at both Plymouth University and the Plymouth College of Arts, as well as going to a show called Leviathan, and maybe (if I have the time), another ghost tour, all as part of the big Plymouth Arts Weekender!!
See you then!
