Summer in the City

Nope, this isn't going to be a about Summer in the City; the huge youtube gathering that goes on in London. As much as I would like it to be...
Today, I spent about 6 hours in Norwich, which was really nice. I really like going into the city when I have no particular reason to because I can just roam and explore. Best thing about summer in Norwich? The buskers. Some of them are... well, I'll be honest, they're pretty rubbish to be honest. There was this one guy that was obviously homeless, poor bloke, and he had a tin whistle. Problem is... he could only play one tune, and then not that well. But we do seem to have a good crop of street performers. There's a guy who plays the mandolin outside Waterstone's, the guy that was playing the Hurdy Gurdy sometimes we get Swervy World (who are always good). Today I happened across a young lady, name of Jade playing down London Street. I heard her as I was walking up that way and really liked her sound (I have a real soft spot for female vocalists; if they're good, I can't help but listen). So, I propped up the front of Costa for a bit and had a listen, which was fine. But one of the thing's I found was... I couldn't stop listening. I just wanted to listen to her all afternoon. Before too long she popped down her Uke and waved me over. After thanking me from my patience and attention she produced a CD from her bag (which I can safely say, is really great).
A quick chat was had and, before long, I was residing on the bench nodding along to a few originals and some King Blues, Nirvana and Cranberries covers, done Ukulele stylee! Absolutely fantastic way to spend an afternoon; great music, fun company. :)
If anyone read this (and that's pretty unlikely) I would totally recommend you get to youtube and check out Myself Me Ukulele.

Today was a really great day; bright, warm, chilled out. I managed to get a little caching in, although I went for a couple that I couldn't find. Either there seemed to be nowhere for it to hide (i.e. the St Peter Mancroft church) or there were too many muggles, and seemingly drunk ones at that (i.e. Haunted Norwich - Maddermarket). However I managed to find Peace Pole and Isengard... which, technically, Gemma and I placed it but it had to be moved and I didn't actually know where it was). I was very pleased with how well we hid it; it's very clever. :P
I missed Gem today, it was weird, I was just sat in Mc Donald's eating lunch and I was just thinking "hmm. This is a really nice day. I'd like to hang out with someone. Gem would like today. I miss Gem. Hmmm". I could have done with her cache finding skills... :P

Overall; today was great. Great weather, great city, great music, great company, and I read a great book for about an hour in Chapelfield Gardens (AC: Renaissance).

Oh, and I found John Green's books in Waterstones. Yes, I left a note in one of them. It was cool.
