May 17 – Morning Light
So 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!)

Bloods in Wigan and I’m knackered and so tired I’m On The Ground. Nip into Kawa’s, bump into Fin then realise I don’t have the blood forms. Back on to the bus and it’s a dash back to the Thomas Linacre. They struggle to find blood. Meet C off the bus and a swift pint in the Lickers.
Water and I reach for the uisce beatha (Bushmills). Last late of the week and the vibes are good in terms of value.
What’s in my bag at Kawa’s. Day three of the lates and I’m still down.
Day two of the lates and a reflection on The Leeds Liverpool. Still knackered, still depressed.
Favourite colour black and Palooka 5 T-shirt from this year’s Part Time Punks. Back to the late shift… knackered and we’ve only just started.
A moment of joy well that’s a good prompt when the depression kicks in. Sunday in and it’s a chilled day bit I’m feeling shit. Swift pint of Mowtown post shift.
In bloom, yeah a revisit to the tarty onions. In other news we watch Ken Burns’ ‘The Vietnam War’ as I sort out the chromebook. Need to go shopping and sort lunches for the week. Back to lates from Monday and it’ll be an exhausting week.
Book, grab Ripley Bogle off the shelf, some old Russian glass and the Olympus. Feeling knackered.
Fresh coffee as soon as I arrive at work.
