8th March Details

DetailLazy start to another day off, not up till 9.40’ish.  Wander into Wigan with C who is looking for shoes.  First port of call is the market where she deems the shoes too frumpy.  A brief coffee as I scarf the rest of my tabs.  Then into the Grand Arcade.  Shoezone (no wide fit), Clarks (too frumpy) fail to provide.  In desperation it’s Schuh and we find some Doc Marten’s she loves, Klarna makes them affordable.

Nip into The Raven in search of lunch, first time we’ve been in since it changed hands and was refurbed.  Unimpressed we don’t stay.  So we wander into Gallimore’s (later learn it is shutting down on Sunday) and have another of their superb steak baguettes.

Home and a cuppa before wandering off to Lidl.  Pint in the Lickers on the way back and bake scones and cook pancakes for tea.  Wash up and watch old films with herself.

Obviously this screen is not going to tell me anything useful.

A day of lazy shopping and gentle cooking.  Pedals, Hex Keys and Gloves arrive.  The 15mm spanner the web tells me is useful for pedal changing is in fact no use, looks like an 18mm is needed.  Which spanner is missing from the set I own.  Yep, the 18mm… order one.  Need grease as well which I order.  C is convinced the bike is costing a fortune.  It’s not, more a case of well being.
