It was hell. I came into work an hour early so I could get off an hour early. The two lads from work I&#8217;m going with work until 5 and rather than having to join them an hour later I&#8217;m off at 5 today too so we can all head off to Brixton for a drink or four before The Pogues tonight. Really looking forward to it, it should be a good evening, certainly with some good company. And a bit of a drunken sing along will do nicely.

It was fucking cold and pretty deserted all over and the sun was still rising. There was a lovely red tint to all the clouds over Primrose Hill and it looked very pretty. So of course since then I&#8217;ve had the, well I don&#8217;t know what it is but it was always touted as a farmers saying &#8220;Red sky at night shepherds delight, red sky in morning, shepherds warning&#8221;.
