Fringe survivor

The festival came, took over my peaceful city & put about a million tourists in my path. I took full advantage by seeing as many shows as I could fit in, staying up til 5am more times than I should, dancing, laughing & having a great time. This was also my busiest time at work (which was almost all about the festival), so it really felt like it took over my whole life.

Now I'm knackered, a bit poor and glad to have spent the day on my sofa.. but, ah. It was great.

• Assembly Gala (Rock the Ballet, Paul Daniels, Jimeoin, Pink Noise by Fork & more)
