May 16th – On the ground
Bloods in Wigan and I’m knackered and so tired I’m On The Ground. Nip into Kawa’s, bump into Fin then realise I don’t have the blood forms. Back on to the bus and it’s a dash back to the Thomas Linacre. They struggle to find blood. Meet C off the bus and a swift pint in the Lickers.

Sunday in, get into Wigan and the police have cordoned off the town centre. No idea what it was about. Plan on coffee from Morrisons and the Costa machine, but no coffee there. Did sort the cream cheese for the next experiment in kidney friendly food. Glimmer 27 is a ghost sign in town.
Glimmer 7 and on a sunny day, I find myself looking up the noses of the heads on the Mill on the way into work.
Last of the lates and don’t think the value is going too well, sales are though. Glimmer 3 and it’s tempus fugit and all that jazz.
From Below leads me to the bridge at the station. It’s a place I’ve photographed sporadically because I love the industrial nature and lines it offers.
Cycle in today, nice wee ride in the rain, the glasses definitely need the addition of windscreen wipers. Quick change of plan to go to the top of the Mill to take this. Escherisc view of the stairs from above.
Hmm, well this was slightly odd. Head to Layla’s christening and encounter a set of stocks. Apparently thestocks are a reminder of a time when local criminals, including those convicted of murder, were tried at the Hare and Hounds public house, built in the 17th century.
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.
