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.
Really pleasant having a day with C.
Last late of the week and it comes as something of a relief. In early and brew at Kawa’s.
More fun late action.
Another late, swift ale at the Swan & Railway on the way home. Delight at finding Doctor Morton’s Duck Baffler, seemed entirely appropriate.
Bit of a session on the new bonus scheme, people are getting a bit uptight about it. Had nothing from it yet but then my value hasn’t been wonderful. But believe we are getting there. Think one of the issues is that it is very difficult to calculate value beyond the basics.
So 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.
