28th March Playful
A playful day off. First up a wee lie in, then a trip to Wigan to fetch the bike and pop the council tax dosh into the bank. Clearly the Nationwide has only recently reopened because I score a free tote bag. Turns out useful because I’ve not dressed for the cycle and it goes onto the back rack with the lock in it. Prior to that though breakfast at the Station Cafe.
Train back to Bryn, visit the quacks to fetch a bloods form and pots for C to piss in. Back to the house and play with a playful Elsie.
C arrives home, we both have a shower and it’s best bib and tucker for Joe and Margaret’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary up at Aspull British Legion. Bee App gives us the route. C not happy at the walk to the Legion. Celebration is fun and good to catch up with folk.

In search of something shiny I revisit the Lucky Cat at the Wallgate Chippy. Last of the earlies before a couple of days off. Team have been having fun whilst getting the job done. A better day but not ideal. Last call just before I leave means it’s tight for the train. I jump a bus home.
From Below leads me to the bridge at the station. It’s a place I’ve photographed sporadically because I love the industrial nature and lines it offers.
Cycle in today, nice wee ride in the rain, the glasses definitely need the addition of windscreen wipers. Quick change of plan to go to the top of the Mill to take this. Escherisc view of the stairs from above.
OK and I’m running late. Grab coffee and sarnies and take photo of a sign I saw the other day that made me laugh out loud, people are so feral. Day went better than the last couple.
Swift pint tonight after work, day went a bit better, still not great. On the plus side the team is fab and that keeps you going.
Tuesday and a horrible day. Calls are awful. Still on the plus side a brew at Kawas.
Movements – first late and I’m flying, value is shite, conversion good. Feeling crap. Long shift.
Hmm, well this was slightly odd. Head to Layla’s christening and encounter a set of stocks. Apparently thestocks are a reminder of a time when local criminals, including those convicted of murder, were tried at the Hare and Hounds public house, built in the 17th century.
Saturday and another day off. Lie in it’s nice! Then off to get Greg the bear shrink wrapped. We go via the ATM and follow the shrink wrapping with a coffee. Nip back home and drop the bear off. Meet C at Lidl and shop. Back home for a bacon sarnie.
