Tuesday and the first day of driving C to work.  The roads are truly horrible, icy and bits of snow.  On way to the school we discovered the boot was open.  Pulled in sorted it.  Was tbh a bit stressed by road conditions and the unknowns of getting to work on time (turned out reet!)

Day was ok but full of numptiness.  Home and takeaway tonight because we had suddenly moved to three for tea rather than the pair of us.

Food Plan

  • Pie and Mash
  • Leek and Potato Soup
  • Meatballs

Working the weekend so will need to plan food for then, but at least I have a plan for the next couple of days.

Review #6 – L.A. Witch – Octubre

Spookily moody and with a bit of a psych post-punk vibe.   Very reverb, could come out of Eric’s but is from the States. One for dark early winter mornings or winter nights.

A Moment Of GratitudeLast day of lates thank fuck.  Get a HBB, not proud of it but it saved some dosh and had a trainee listening in as I did it.  Jess was ok but baffled by it all.  Find it quite stressful being listened to, don’t help that the splitter lower’s the volume.  Think my value’s been shite too.
