10th February J

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 Like To Eat...

I Like To Eat…

I Like To Eat...An early morning trip to the pictures. As a result of Sunday bus timetables we repair unto McDead Thing before wandering along to the Empire picture house.  ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ was the film of choice.  Thoroughly enjoyed by the pair of us.

Lunch at Gregs and then into Asda for a bit of shopping. Then home via the Gobin.  A pleasant day.

Am currently stressing about lots so needed it. Feeling incredibly down at the moment, being a bit random with my meds right now.  Need to get some balance back.

Edit reel I sorted in Wigan the other day.  Needed to download the Get Carter soundtrack to add some music.  First walkout with the Gimbal.  Worked kinda ok, a bit of wobble as I walked!

Music

  1. Get Carter – Roy Budd
  2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Awesome Mix Vol. 3 – Various Artists
  3. Outside Looking In – The Masonics

PeacefulA week of lates beckons. News full of Ofcom’s Affordability of communications services: April 2023 update a day of drops beckons.  Sure enough the day pans out that way,  a usual week may have one or two in it.  Today 4 of the buggers.

In other news I end up chatting to someone who works at SLAIS and who knew the McIlwaine’s.  Ia has apparently shuffled of this mortal coil which is sad.  Turns out she has a Wikipedia page the obit is here.

Bus home was a bit of an adventure, came home via Winstanley, no idea why, was a touch weird but what the heck.

Photo today was a Sunday snap when I got beyond a set of gates that are usually shut.  I guess a little light urbex. Either way it was interesting and the string of lights set things off nicely.

Tomorrow’s prompt is ‘found’ so will have to channel my inner Marcel Duchamps.  Be interesting to see what sort of found objects I come across.

Music

  1. On Air (The BBC Sessions) – June Tabor
  2. Quercus – June Tabor With Iain Ballamy & Huw Warren
  3. The Ultimate Collection – Grace Jones
  4. A Night Of A Thousand Vampires (Live) – The Damned
Season

Season

Season Cases packed and out for 06.30. slight panic that they go to the right Bus.  Sorted, I go for a stroll down to the Spar to take some pics.  C rings to find out where I am.
Breakfast at 9.00 and pile into the bus for 10.00 to return home.  We stop in Beverley, with time enough to get scran and a drink but not enough time to do anything like visit the Minster. C is livid.  I’m a little more chilled but I’ve been to Beverley before.  Pint then into a bakery for a sausage roll for C and Bacon, Cheese and Leek pastie for me.
Remount the bus and off we go, weather is foul, roadworks everywhere, C gets a bit stressed about us arriving at the interchange in time to catch the feeder coach. We get back to Burtonwood at around 16:15.  Half an hour an we get on the feeder and wonder of wonders we’re first drop. Back home, light shop and then Mr. Krispy shared kebab for tea.  Nice.​
