Friday, day off, get to spend it with half term bound C. A bit of a mooch round the shops. Lunch in the Gobin. Relief to have a bit of a lie in, lates are really taking it out of me.
Really pleasant having a day with C.
Last late of the week and it comes as something of a relief. In early and brew at Kawa’s.
More fun late action.
Another late, swift ale at the Swan & Railway on the way home. Delight at finding Doctor Morton’s Duck Baffler, seemed entirely appropriate.
Bit of a session on the new bonus scheme, people are getting a bit uptight about it. Had nothing from it yet but then my value hasn’t been wonderful. But believe we are getting there. Think one of the issues is that it is very difficult to calculate value beyond the basics.
Queenie comes out to play! Meanwhile a day that started off poorly but finished relatively strongly.
Manage to retrieve the bike from the Station, snow is promised for tomorrow so might be a bus day!

An early shift today. Deep joy! Bit of a mixed day with lots of listening from Krish.
Obviously this screen is not going to tell me anything useful.
A day of lazy shopping and gentle cooking. Pedals, Hex Keys and Gloves arrive. The 15mm spanner the web tells me is useful for pedal changing is in fact no use, looks like an 18mm is needed. Which spanner is missing from the set I own. Yep, the 18mm… order one. Need grease as well which I order. C is convinced the bike is costing a fortune. It’s not, more a case of well being.
Day off and it’s been a busy day. Off to Wigan to fetch the bike. Get off and nip into Go Outdoors… third set of handgrips and new daysack, (zips on the last are pissing about so bin beckons). Coffee at Kawa’s. Train, fetch meds for Elsie and then to Aldi. Get stuff for tonight’s tea. Discover it’s only C and myself. Cook us a bolognese. Then off for a new Qi charger, the bits I forgot, grab a quick pint, then a haircut. Go to find C a wheatbag, proves to be a more problematic thing than it should be. Sort handgrips (the hairspray tip works!) and cook.
Pre-order the new Jetstream Pony album. Meet C off bus and a wee drop in the hand in the lickers. Back and food.
Last early ’til Sunday. We celebrate! Finally a HBB.
A day of issues, an issue of days. On the plus side email from the pensions folk.
