My shoes todayMy shoes today… well some of them.  What should be a chilled day off turns out to be somewhat more complex.  First off the fence gets painted.  Then the washing is done and hung and repeated with the paint spattered clothes.  The whole thing was a three cup of tea job.

Then off to the GPs to argue with the receptionist about an appointment for C and my meds – there are no Pioglitazone 15mg to be had in the country.  Still waiting for an alternative from the GPs pharmacist.

Meet C off the bus, she decides to change GP practice.  Fetch forms, nip to the Tom and Gerry’s because she’s knackered.  Nip to the shop as she heads home.  Pie for tonight and shove on a chilli on for tomorrow.

On the tableWell that was an interesting morning, herself goes off on one, I escape to the shop via a coffee which provided me with the shot on the table.  Fail to find the required pasta.  This is not greeted well.  Get on the bike to test my fix (didn’t make much difference, chain still unshipping in any gear other than fifth!).  Go to Aldi.  Still no lasagne.

Morning lightSo away into Wigan in the morning light so C can cancel her standing order to sort an issue. She’s dead chuffed.  We bump into Stue on the way back to the bus station.  We go in with surgical precision, into Nationwide and back to Ashton having found the Little Kitchen has closed.  Brekkie at the Tom and Gerry’s it is.  Then a light bit of shopping in which we find a clock that ticks and chimes (Muggins here pays for the bugger!)
