Today is best explained as a list:

Newcastle - woke, B&Q, bought fence post spikey thing, fence preservative and a spray gun - used them, then left.
Leeds - arrived there, had a shower a coffee, some apple crumble, a chat with my mum, then left.
Chester - arrived, hung out with the comedians, performed, watched the gig, had a good time, then left for Reading
Reading - arrived rather late. Went to bed.

Not a short day.
