Bad Hair Day

June 16th Bad Hair Day

Bad Hair DayLast of the days off, finally complete the form that has been plaguing me. Whole list of things to do from herself, so I ran round with the yodelling hoover, cooked a lasagne, took a dress round to Joan, glued the dressing table together, hung the washing and dealt with the ants outside.

Obviously this screen is not going to tell me anything useful.

A day of lazy shopping and gentle cooking.  Pedals, Hex Keys and Gloves arrive.  The 15mm spanner the web tells me is useful for pedal changing is in fact no use, looks like an 18mm is needed.  Which spanner is missing from the set I own.  Yep, the 18mm… order one.  Need grease as well which I order.  C is convinced the bike is costing a fortune.  It’s not, more a case of well being.

Something White

Something White

Something WhiteSo 55 today. Lots of birthday wishes which was nice. Lovely card from C and fun card from S. Ch as St bring a card round too which was cool and appreciated.

Morning a bit of a food shop followed by a bit of a contretemps regarding the availability of a pound coin as we move shops between Lidl and Aldi, fetch change and off to Aldi we go.  Birthday lunch in the Robin, nice touch was the bar staff buying me a birthday drink.

Steven drags round copious amounts of beer too which is most welcome.  A few of the usual suspects like Doom Bar, Bishops Finger and Old Speckled Hen but a few different ones too.  I guess that I’m a bit predictable! Lol, we also bought me a bottle of Leffe.  Didn’t get round to drinking any of them.

Cal calls after work which was good.  Relatively early night in anticipation of work in the morning.  Have to admit bed is welcome, not been the best of birthdays to be fair.
