Wednesday and things get a bit better. Struggling with the old mental health a but work helps. Glimmer 2 see’s me at the open air gallery in town. People apparently Mek Wigan.
Lines…. 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 Fave Spot – well I suppose the 610 counts as one of them as I experiment with Andy Burnham’s tap on, tap off experiment on the bus. It speeds me to Wigan having been a slug-a-bed after a bad night’s sleep as a result of cold feet.
Grab a brew at Morrison’s and trog to work. Need a pony so find Rachel in before me. Sort Tea and we begin. Not a bad day, no HBB but other than that it’s cool.
Day done, repair unto Wigan and The Swan and Railway to wait for a bus, indulge in a pint of Naughty Hooker. Bus home and salad.
A playful day off. First up a wee lie in, then a trip to Wigan to fetch the bike and pop the council tax dosh into the bank. Clearly the Nationwide has only recently reopened because I score a free tote bag. Turns out useful because I’ve not dressed for the cycle and it goes onto the back rack with the lock in it. Prior to that though breakfast at the Station Cafe.
Train back to Bryn, visit the quacks to fetch a bloods form and pots for C to piss in. Back to the house and play with a playful Elsie.
C arrives home, we both have a shower and it’s best bib and tucker for Joe and Margaret’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary up at Aspull British Legion. Bee App gives us the route. C not happy at the walk to the Legion. Celebration is fun and good to catch up with folk.
In search of something shiny I revisit the Lucky Cat at the Wallgate Chippy. Last of the earlies before a couple of days off. Team have been having fun whilst getting the job done. A better day but not ideal. Last call just before I leave means it’s tight for the train. I jump a bus home.
Food from the chippy. Try ringing Beck because it’s her birthday, no answer.
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.
Odd day, no idea how it finished up but I do know I have a phone to code in the morning so that’s not too bad. Still struggling with HBB but did a regrade. Another cycle to work, came back on the bus. Phone C from below on the double decker she lets me know who I’m feeding.
Elsie has apparently been sleeping most of the day. C is worried.
OK and I’m running late. Grab coffee and sarnies and take photo of a sign I saw the other day that made me laugh out loud, people are so feral. Day went better than the last couple.
Swift pint tonight after work, day went a bit better, still not great. On the plus side the team is fab and that keeps you going.
Tuesday and a horrible day. Calls are awful. Still on the plus side a brew at Kawas.
Movements – first late and I’m flying, value is shite, conversion good. Feeling crap. Long shift.
