Well on Weds I visited the zoo with Jen, haven’t been for ages and there have been a lot of changes and new buildings. Was also the day the were moving Mercedes to new home. Big huge crate and some burly guys reading to pack it. Got to see the penguin parade which is always fun. Zoo did seem to be stuck in some inbetween season, they hadn’t decided to be properly open for summer which meant I had to make do with some really bad burger for lunch 
Friday was Gigantor with Jen, I remember liking Gigantor but I must say thats two I’ve been to I’ve not really enjoyed, just can’t get into the music they play! So as I was feeling too hot and it was nice outside we left early and wandered home.
Saturday I spent the day at Unique Beats which was a festival of electronic music in the Roxy Arthouse. I must say I really love the Roxy Arthouse, it’s an amazing venue, an old converted church. Afternoon had companies advertising their software and doing workshops along with some people playing all day. Evening it changed to full on gig with some amazing people doing their music. Saw some really great and unusual sets, almost all of them involving real instruments as well as computers and gadgets. And Frog Pocket is amazing, go see if you ever get the chance. Wore my boots of doom and got lots of compliments 
For the last set of the day I got to hang around behind the no!input desk watching how they did the visuals which was interesting. Then off to the Brass Monkey for a few pints.
Today I caught tried to catch up on TNA and WWE, 7 hours in total, but still more to watch!
Mercedes is still at the Zoo at least on 5th July, the big box is what they’ll be using to move her to the highland wildlife park most likely towards the end of Summer.
