LocalHmm, well this was slightly odd. Head to Layla’s christening and encounter a set of stocks. Apparently thestocks are a reminder of a time when local criminals, including those convicted of murder, were tried at the Hare and Hounds public house, built in the 17th century.

Christening was cool, church an interesting 18th century brick built affair.  Afters at the Miners Institute and Leigh Miners Rangers are playing in the background as I watch The Arsenal beat Chelsea.

What Inspires Me

What Inspires Me

16th, April 2023, FMS Photo A Day, Jazz, Sunday, , , ,

What Inspires MeSunday and off to work on the Sunday service.  Early start but that gave me a chance to mooch around in search of a photo. Luckily Wigan never fails to provide something and after several possible candidates I arrive at this.  Some sort of hen party had discarded it going on the proximity of the Brides Gang piece of rubbish.

Grab a coffee and packet of Wotsits from John Menzies, wander in and no surprises I’m first in. Get my shit out of the locker and set up for the day.  Not  a great day work wise but not a totally shite day.  Got to catch up with a bit of writing which was positive.  Finally got to meet Meg who’s been off ill.  Seems pleasant enough.

Back home via superior bus and in the door and I’m fed by Carol with stew and dumplings, delish.  Phone home.  Shoot the breeze with the folks.  Catch up with the blogging and write some shit.

Discover a change in the shift pattern, early’s next week to be followed by lates.  It’s no bad thing delaying the lates given that C returns to work tomorrow.  Need to nip in early so I can visit Asda, C needs more hot chocolate.
