21st March A Sign
First day off and I’ve big plans for the day, lots of tidying up but a wee kip. Rudely interrupted by a call from herself, she’s had an asthma attack so it’s onto the bus for me to fetch her from school. Totally changes the nature of the day. Slip into carer mode. Nip for a pint. As I’m in the pub Ash asks for bonus slips. Something is up.

Day off and Elsie goes to the Vets for her jabs. Given a lift by Steven and Ryan. Cat behaves well, jabs go well. Struggle with tiredness, Elsie and I repair to bed.
Day one off after a hard week and I’m knackered. Up late, brekkie at the Tom and Gerry (Miner’s Benedict). Then away to the Chemist’s to fetch the meds for the pair of us.
Friday and I’m given a list. But first its time to sort the panniers on the bike in daylight. Discover I’d put them on back to front. Relatively easy to sort. Pop in the bike locks and job’s a good’un.
Friday, day off, get to spend it with half term bound C. A bit of a mooch round the shops. Lunch in the Gobin. Relief to have a bit of a lie in, lates are really taking it out of me.
Day off and it’s been a busy day. Off to Wigan to fetch the bike. Get off and nip into Go Outdoors… third set of handgrips and new daysack, (zips on the last are pissing about so bin beckons). Coffee at Kawa’s. Train, fetch meds for Elsie and then to Aldi. Get stuff for tonight’s tea. Discover it’s only C and myself. Cook us a bolognese. Then off for a new Qi charger, the bits I forgot, grab a quick pint, then a haircut. Go to find C a wheatbag, proves to be a more problematic thing than it should be. Sort handgrips (the hairspray tip works!) and cook.
Day off
Day off and back to bike fettling. Finally think I have the wheels sorted. Swap saddles, order toolkit and saddlebag. Will go for a quick ride tomorrow to test it!
