31st March Lines

LinesLines…. it’s a brick. First of the lates and the usual greeting with Liberty of 3 more days!  Bit of a slow start, the hardest HBB supported by Ash.  Generally other than value think it was an alright day but a cheeky add line may have saved me.  A few mobile lines help too.

Still feeling a bit shit but I will survive!  Struggle to get up this morning.  Am late in, Lib is worried!  In the evening I struggle to eat tea, just not in the mood for it.

Way home and another pint of the Naughty Hooker and a wee nip of Black Bush.  It’s not often I have a whiskey but have been chatting with a fella in Crumlin and feel like one tonight.

My View - a photo of grass and dew from a day off.

24th March My View

My View - a photo of grass and dew from a day off.Day off.  Day starts with me taking the piss… literally to the GPs. Whereupon NHS IT strikes, they have to hand write the sample form because the printer is dead.  On the way up a couple of photos.  Need to look at them to see if they are prompt suitable. Jump a bus back home.

Herself off work, still recovering from Asthma attack. Take a wee dander to get a photo for tomorrow in the afternoon.

Pump up the tyres and sort rear reflector on the bike.  Usual day off preparation for first early of the week.

In other news there is some movement on the Roots allotment situation.  They’ve announced it will be 16 minutes away from Ashton… presumably by car, ‘cos perish the thought you wouldn’t have a car.  As long as it’s reasonable cycle ride, I’m in!  Looks like a £40 upfront then for a baby patch about a tenner a month.  Not looking for anything huge, it’s not like I have a clue what I’m doing!  As much as anything it’s a healthy thing to do on a day off for the old mental health.

An abundance

10th March Abundance

An abundance Monday and I’m despatched to deliver the piss to the GPs. Hazel is due to suffer the final indignity, it only hurts if you get your fingers caught between the bricks. Brief shop in Aldi and then onto the laundrette. My cunning plan of coffee, music and book is interrupted by building work at the garage. Plan B from Planet 57 swings into action and it’s a sausage barm and coffee from the sandwich shop.

Back home and the plan is cook a lasagne for tomorrow, gammon and chips for tonight.

X

24th February X

XLast 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.

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.

What I’m doing now

January 27th What I’m doing now

What I’m doing nowA day of bike fettling, would be great if I knew what I was doing! C off from work. Waiting on arrival of late required inner tubes!  Fucked up when removing the tyres, mind you gawd alone knows how old the tubes were that were in the bike.  New saddle arrives as well.  Might not get to ride into work tomorrow, depends on arrival time of the tubes.  They are meant to be here by 10pm.  Arrive at about 7.00, tyres are a bastard to fit back but seem to manage.  Get’em back on the bike, will pump up tonight to see how well I’ve done!

Well one wheel is fine, other is fucked… we go again tomorrow night!

Need to get a small socket set and small saddle bag.
