A Pop Of Colour
Peaceful
A 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.

Sunday and making up time, early bus, morning photo wander. Grab a coffee at McColls. Chat at work, then dialler drops, move machine.
Geared up for move tomorrow. Leave at 2.30, wander into town, swift pint of Theakston’s Vanilla Stout in the Swan and Railway, nice and then the Superior bus home.
Bit of an afternoon kip and then beef curry from the chippy via a pint of Patron Saint in the Tom and Gerry (well it is St George’s Day!)

Laundry day we wander to the shops first and head to the Laundrette in the afternoon. Shove the washing in, still no coffee machine at the garage, however The Caledonian is open so I wander in for this beauty.
General shit chatted in the laundrette, a bit of a read.
