Friday and I’m given a list. But first its time to sort the panniers on the bike in daylight. Discover I’d put them on back to front. Relatively easy to sort. Pop in the bike locks and job’s a good’un.

Onto the list. First off I am sent to the doctors to fetch blood forms, pots to piss in and to rearrange the time of the telephone consult. Then to book a bloods appointment, ring the people concerned only to discover I have to book it online. So online I go. Next a trip to the post office to send Christine’s birthday card.

Next to sorting the pedals on the bike. Much easier than I thought it’d be.

Really rather proud of this one, reached the Top 10 of The Big Photo Hunt!

Day was a bit weird, started badly and finished strong. Job opportunity handed to me but would mess up appointments and things, will mull over and don’t have to give immediate response.

A slightly better day, copped out of the cycle to work. Was too shattered this morning.

Generally feeling like shit today. Don’t know what the fuck is up with me but bottom line is that I’m shattered. Struggle to focus and things aren’t great.

Last day off for a wee while and it’s a busy one. Laundrette day, change pedals day, bake custard pie, make mince and potato pie, give the cat her flea and worming treatment. Hoover and clean the oven and kitchen.

So Laundrette had a dryer hog, it started pissing down as I left. Cat avoided the pills. But on the plus side the custard pie seems to have worked. Mince and potato pie is a work in progress.

Feeling really shit, hit the booze to deal with it, not certain that that’s a good idea. That being said I just continue.

Sunday lazy start to the day. Wash up and make breakfast. Nip to the shop and grab a swift pint. Weather is foul. Catch up with the boy in the afternoon, he’s sounding less tin helmety.

Folks seem fine when I ring. C suffering from neuralgia and preparation for first day back blues.

Saturday, little light shopping, drink with C at the Tom & Gerry which seems populated by geriatric one armed bandit raiders with loud voices.

Home and sort the cat litter and wash up. Simple food tonight in terms of Haloumi burgers and sweet potato fries. Making some fruit scones too.

Friday, day off, get to spend it with half term bound C. A bit of a mooch round the shops. Lunch in the Gobin. Relief to have a bit of a lie in, lates are really taking it out of me.
