It was my birthday. I am 24. Wounded. We had a Coffee and Cake birthday party for myself and a friend. I think it’s now official, Coffee and Cake club is possibly one of the best events in the city because it’s chilled and showcases great talent, all in the space of our living room.  Coffee and Cake even made it into the Big Issue last week but I didn’t get the chance to buy it.  That’s a lie, I did walk past many many many Big Issue sellers (who doesn’t?) but I have major trust issues with them. I have heard far too many stories about people giving them money for a magazine and then the seller claiming the magazine is their last copy and they need to keep it.  I realise the Big Issue is supposed to be there in order to help the homeless and also has some really great content, but it’s not good practice when the sellers scam you out of your pound.

I tried to quit smoking on the night of my birthday.. it really didn’t work. In fact it is still not working. I am a failure. I’m off to roll a smoke.

Good news though, my film scanner arrives in a few days so I can finally start scanning what I’ve been shooting more recently. It actually pains me to touch my digital camera right now.
