un-naturally caffeine-free

Slightly through intention but mostly through lack of an opportunity/arsedness intersection I have had no coffee today whatsoever. Whenever I've tried this previously at the weekend I usually end up with an headache by early afternoon. Most puzzling.

Very little else done today. Managed to get an orange/grapefruit/mango/banana/apple smoothie to taste acceptable if not exactly more-ish. At least it tasted healthy.

Now the waiting begins.

Almost forgot: behind me whilst I was taking this was a pub up whose steps could be heard the sound of some form of utterly shit band playing, hopefully not in exchange for money. I'm not sure of the correct term to describe the metal-variant in use but it was quite clearly the sort where the lyrics are shoutygrunted and incomprehensible and exist only to give the alleged music something to be there for. However, the music in these sorts of situation is always the sort of music which is only ever played as background to shoutygrunted nonsensical tuneless vocalisations. Is this one of these which-came-first situations or are there intermediates somewhere featuring moronic shiteplaying coupled with tune-capable word-meaning singing or shoutygrunting over the top of capable musicianship? If so, why do the tuneful parts put up with the rest? Not a problem for the people behind me; I was only there for about two minutes and witnessed no variation in the sound to indicate that either the musicians or the vocalist were capable of anything other than grunting either with their mouths or instruments. At least it wasn't too loud even standing outside the door and across the street so that there is hope that the ears of the audience might survive and one day listen to something pleasant.
