6th January – My Shoes Day

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.

From aboveFrom above – feet in the chippy.  C feeling dreadful the TN is back with a vengeance so it was off to the chippy for me.

Bit of a mixed day off, breakfast at the Tom, little light shopping and then back.  Day was a mix of showers and sun.

Lunch with herself.  Then a kip.
