Diary Of A Busker Day 195

Diary Of A Busker Day 195 Friday February 3rd Winchester High Street (opposite Vodafone).         Most days when I walk past WH Smiths, there’s a girl I call the Asgard Girl – on account of the placard she holds or rather leans next to her while she’s sitting on the bench reading her book opposite to where I play. Nine… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 194

Diary Of A Busker Day 194 Friday January 27th Winchester High Street (opposite Bellis, Time: 12:50-2:30pm).        It’s another bitter (meaning cold) day and I’ve been a bit “under the weather” – whatever that means, so time goes slow… however, today I reacquaint myself with Delia – I thought I might see her as it’s Friday, who I haven’t seen… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 191

Diary Of A Busker Day 191 Wednesday January 18th Winchester High Street (opposite Vodafone, Time: 12:40-2:18pm).        The sky’s grey all over, it’s rained and looks like it will rain again but for the moment it’s dry and the temperature’s fine. Another slow start – I’m ignored for 15 minutes, then an old guy (a regular) appears and stands next… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 190

Diary Of A Busker Day 190 Friday January 13th Winchester High Street (outside Debenhams, Time: 3:10-4:10pm).        It seems like only yesterday (because it was) when I was bemoaning and mourning the apparent death of my short lived local celebrity, when, just after I start, a woman comes up and says “Are you the chap who sometimes writes for the Chronicle?” So… Read more →
