On the tableWell that was an interesting morning, herself goes off on one, I escape to the shop via a coffee which provided me with the shot on the table.  Fail to find the required pasta.  This is not greeted well.  Get on the bike to test my fix (didn’t make much difference, chain still unshipping in any gear other than fifth!).  Go to Aldi.  Still no lasagne.

Glimmer 27Sunday 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.

Day at work is OK conversion wise, shite value wise.

Swift pint in the Swan and onto the bus.  Ring Cal, he’s ok, seems to be dabbling in stocks and shares.  Ring home, hay fever has struck.
