Diary Of A Busker Day 502 Friday February 7th 2014 Winchester (1. Opposite Vodafone, Time: 1:10-1:40pm, 2. Opposite Pavillion, Time: 1:47-2:48pm). I’ve had to take another break, due to the situation with my left thumb (there’s a film there) – two weeks, in fact.

Diary Of A Busker Day 500

Diary Of A Busker Day 500 Thursday January 23rd 2014 Winchester (Opposite Vodafone, Time: 2:43-4:13pm). The five hundreth Day! – that’s half a thousand!

Diary Of A Busker Day 504 Sunday February 9th 2014 Winchester (1. Opposite Bellis/O2, Time: 11:15-12pm, 2. Opposite Pavillion, Time: 1-2:15pm). An amusing moment on the way in. While I was crossing the road near the station, this voice boomed out ‘HELLO MY LOVELY MAN!’ It was Maurice, in  his silly little so-called ‘smart’ car he got from the council.… Read more →
