Cycled home and found that Dweezil is performing my home town for the Bridge guitar festival in a few months. With the Metropole orchestra. Plus side
- he will be playing FZ with them. Minus side - he will be playing his own music. If I hear Love Ride I'll finish the night traumatised in the fetal
position.
I doubt I'll be going. Plus he has competition in Adrian Belew, who will be playing Talking Heads music at the same festival.

Nice! Bit far away though.
It's as old as Dweezil, odd to think it's older now than Frank was. 
Today was a crap day for it - went home from work with one of my colleagues, Donny (we're a sitcom waiting to happen). We went to the station and
checked in. The station is ex-tre-me-ly busy now that it's Carnaval, which is celebrated very big in my neck of the woods. So busy that they resorted
to installing gates for crowd control.
So there you are, waiting in line and squeezing by an checking in, up the stairs to the train - which didn't go. There was a collision with a person
(unsure whether suicide or a Carnaval-related mishap) which meant no trains for hours in my direction, they would stop halfway at a small town. We
were assured there would be buses going to Eindhoven from there, so we got on the slow train, where I discovered I forgot my bag with crochet work.
Upon arriving in Boxtel there were no trains or buses, so we were basically stuck somewhere halfway. Now Boxtel also does carnaval but it doesn't get
as extremely busy as 's-Hertogenbosch with partygoers, so we went to find a supermarket to get some food for the night.
And there I discovered my bank card was no longer in my wallet.
After walking back, I spent some time searching for my card with no success at the station (as the checking gates are at the bottom of long stairs I
walked up quite a few flights for it) but no luck.
When we returned to the station bridge, we found one of my colleagues, also stranded. He has the taxi app and with there being three of us, we could
split the taxi three-way.
Got home about an hour earlier than I would have been had I waited for the trains to go. Miffed and exhausted.

Sounds great Poly, congrats!
I unfortunately don't know my way around Amsterdam but pretty much the entire city is one big place to eat, so I'm sure she won't go hungry. I asked
my sister who has lived in Amsterdam for decades and she basically said the same thing.

I've just come back from weekend at BFs, which was great as it had been too long since I last saw him anyway. We had a great time with wonderful sunny
weather, we solved some fiendishly fun sudokus : they're clueless.
