Artificial
Aaargh! Anxiety! So looking forward to next week.
Solo
Been a bit of a bizarre day tbh. Up and out early, off to Wigan to capture some images. Still playing catch up with this place. New Long Ryder’s album on the way in. Vaguely thought a coffee might be welcome but cancelled out on the idea, got into work to no chair, Liam next to me had used it, grabbed it back, no headphones, he’d had those too I later dicovered. Have been allocated a locker which is useful because I’ll stash my stuff when we go away to keep thieving mitts off!
Home and a nip to the shop and then a quick meatballs and beetroot pasta produced. Was ok. Pasta was a bit watery.
Still suffering from anxiety and not feeling great. Think it’s change and getting used to things.

Above your head
Laundrette on the day off, usual change collection route, cash machine, newsagents, chicken shop and coffee at the Tom and Gerry. Bob back to the house to fetch the laundry and it’s away I go. Soundtracks to Ride’s ‘4 EPs’. Read ‘Keep Music Evil’ as I do the laundry. Follow up with ‘Methodrone’ from The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
C meets me at laundrette and we repair unto the Gerry for a swift drink. Flip flop about eating there and decide against. Instead sourdough rye and turkey bacon sarnies at home. Surprisingly tasty!
Next on the agenda a trip to the Turkish Barbers in anticipation of the holiday which begins on Monday next week.
P60 arrives, am feeling really down right now, combo of anxiety and depression not helped by dwelling on a whole heap of shit! It’s not a great place to be! Still onwards and upwards and all that bollocks.
C continues to prepare for our jaunt to Scarborough.
Finally getting this place into some semblance of order and beginning to catch up with the photoaday.

Something purple
Supermarket aubergine purple blues. Not the only blues going down right now.
Game of musical chairs today at work, move teams, Lisa and Shehan still in the team so that’s cool.
Call from Sharon, should she buy an Asus laptop. Spec was ok. Cal will need to sort it for her.
Generally a wee bit down right now. Mix of anxiety and the black dog. Not too bad when I’m grafting but any lulls and it kicks me in the bollocks.
An interesting prompt! Led me to this sign in the window of the 1910 cafe. Loving the font!
A Faceless Portrait
So a trip out to Sainsbury’s this morning for a bit of scran and some clothes for the holiday. End up with a pair of jeans and buying some trainers via Amazon. Have to admit, am looking forward to the break.
However first port of call was to pick up the holiday tickets, brief visit to Andy’s All Day Breakfast. Coffee and a sausage sarnie. Neither were great, come to the conclusion the place is all fur coat and no knickers.
Feeling down still but is just about manageable.
TV is shite…. so cooking is welcome. Off to the laundrette tomorrow so this afternoon rounded up the requisite change.
Adventures with beetroot burgers, parsnip, carrot and beetroot chips alongside sweet corn tonight. Might be ok or could be truly revolting!
Beginning to make headway with this place.
