What I’m doing nowA day of bike fettling, would be great if I knew what I was doing! C off from work. Waiting on arrival of late required inner tubes!  Fucked up when removing the tyres, mind you gawd alone knows how old the tubes were that were in the bike.  New saddle arrives as well.  Might not get to ride into work tomorrow, depends on arrival time of the tubes.  They are meant to be here by 10pm.  Arrive at about 7.00, tyres are a bastard to fit back but seem to manage.  Get’em back on the bike, will pump up tonight to see how well I’ve done!

Well one wheel is fine, other is fucked… we go again tomorrow night!

Need to get a small socket set and small saddle bag.

I Like To Eat...

I Like To Eat…

7th, FMS Photo A Day, Funk, Indie, May 2023, Pop, Sunday, , , , , ,

I Like To Eat...An early morning trip to the pictures. As a result of Sunday bus timetables we repair unto McDead Thing before wandering along to the Empire picture house.  ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ was the film of choice.  Thoroughly enjoyed by the pair of us.

Lunch at Gregs and then into Asda for a bit of shopping. Then home via the Gobin.  A pleasant day.

Am currently stressing about lots so needed it. Feeling incredibly down at the moment, being a bit random with my meds right now.  Need to get some balance back.

Edit reel I sorted in Wigan the other day.  Needed to download the Get Carter soundtrack to add some music.  First walkout with the Gimbal.  Worked kinda ok, a bit of wobble as I walked!

PeacefulA week of lates beckons. News full of Ofcom’s Affordability of communications services: April 2023 update a day of drops beckons.  Sure enough the day pans out that way,  a usual week may have one or two in it.  Today 4 of the buggers.

In other news I end up chatting to someone who works at SLAIS and who knew the McIlwaine’s.  Ia has apparently shuffled of this mortal coil which is sad.  Turns out she has a Wikipedia page the obit is here.

Bus home was a bit of an adventure, came home via Winstanley, no idea why, was a touch weird but what the heck.

Photo today was a Sunday snap when I got beyond a set of gates that are usually shut.  I guess a little light urbex. Either way it was interesting and the string of lights set things off nicely.

Tomorrow’s prompt is ‘found’ so will have to channel my inner Marcel Duchamps.  Be interesting to see what sort of found objects I come across.

Hello 2023

Hello

1st, FMS Photo A Day, Garage, Indie, January 2023, Music, Pop, Portraiture, Selfies, Sunday, , , , , , , , ,

Hello 2023And so 2023 begins.  Serious attempt this year to keep it monochrome.  First prompt of the year is hello, an excuse for a selfie.

Not feeling great at the time tbh, mental health could be better and part of the treatment is to keep to routines and maintain things that in better times I enjoy.

Anyway the visuals of this Hello for 2023 have there origins in the amount of a person that is hidden from public display.  We’re all like icebergs with a hell of a lot that goes on beyond sight! That and it’s a very superficial hello to 2023.

Clearly prepared carefully for it with a far from clean cut image! But what the heck! Hopefully 2023 will be better than 2022 a year that has brought some joy along with a hell of a lot of pain.
