What Inspires Me

What Inspires Me

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.

Season

Season

Season Cases packed and out for 06.30. slight panic that they go to the right Bus.  Sorted, I go for a stroll down to the Spar to take some pics.  C rings to find out where I am.
Breakfast at 9.00 and pile into the bus for 10.00 to return home.  We stop in Beverley, with time enough to get scran and a drink but not enough time to do anything like visit the Minster. C is livid.  I’m a little more chilled but I’ve been to Beverley before.  Pint then into a bakery for a sausage roll for C and Bacon, Cheese and Leek pastie for me.
Remount the bus and off we go, weather is foul, roadworks everywhere, C gets a bit stressed about us arriving at the interchange in time to catch the feeder coach. We get back to Burtonwood at around 16:15.  Half an hour an we get on the feeder and wonder of wonders we’re first drop. Back home, light shop and then Mr. Krispy shared kebab for tea.  Nice.​

Egg

EggHappy Easter!  A day of tech support with Cal setting up Sharon’s new PC, getting camera shit together to go away.  Setting things to charge.

But first a walk to the building society and then breakfast at the Tom and Gerry.  Was good and filling.

Afternoon plans are a bit of gardening and that sort of shit!
