An abundance Monday and I’m despatched to deliver the piss to the GPs. Hazel is due to suffer the final indignity, it only hurts if you get your fingers caught between the bricks. Brief shop in Aldi and then onto the laundrette. My cunning plan of coffee, music and book is interrupted by building work at the garage. Plan B from Planet 57 swings into action and it’s a sausage barm and coffee from the sandwich shop.

Back home and the plan is cook a lasagne for tomorrow, gammon and chips for tonight.

JSo last day off for a couple of days. A day of rest, a few bits and bobs done, phone the vet and sort cat tabs, ask about her vaccination date. She’s due jabs the middle of next month so need to ring back at the beginning of the month.

Another attempt at fitting the new handlebar grips, resign myself to the notion it ain’t happening.  Order a different set that are simpler and supposedly rubber.  Hoping they are easier to fit.

I Stood Here...

I Stood Here…

I Stood Here...Poke in the eye day.  Travel with Carol to work and continue on to the delightful Leigh.  Arrive too early for the Costa to be open so repair unto McDead thing, mainly because I need the loo.  Breakfast and coffee before I head up to to the Walk-In.  Wander up the Avenue,  arrive there at about 07:45.  Hang around 15 minutes waiting on coffee. Then head into the Walk-In. Way too early when I sign in.

Wait around 45 minutes before I get called in to get the poke in the eye.  It goes ok.

Walk down to Leigh and light is a vague issue but not enough to break out the shades.  Coffee and then head to the bus/

Stop off at Asda in Goldborne looking for fence preserver.  Not there so might need a trip out in the morning before I get on with slapping it on tomorrow (weather permitting).

Entrance

10th, April 2023, Architecture, FMS Photo A Day, Monday

Entrance Wake, ablute and brekky, leave the houseo for trip to Scarborough. At the bus stop by 8.30. Grayway feeder arrives 15 minutes early which suits us. Off to Burtonwood services, changeover is smooth and plenty of time for a coffee.

Journey and a 30 minute break at services followed by an hour at the next services and lunch. As predicted am on a trip with a bunch of senile delinquents and mogadon swallowing Burnley firm intent on finding the match on Sky somewhere. Travel is boring, bus not exactly comfy and we end up devouring as a result of a car accident.

The Cumberland Hotel in Scarborough is a touch rough round the edges, staff are welcoming but almost as geriatric as the party we’re in. Comp drink in the bar though is welcome.

Food is not great, it’s catering for the audience not much crunch. Fish cake sans fish but tasty enough. Roast ham and chips is in fact sliced ham and chips. Cheese and biscuits were good but lack poof knife makes buttering the biscuits difficult.

Bed early in the dungeon.
