WSunday lazy start to the day.  Wash up and make breakfast. Nip to the shop and grab a swift pint.  Weather is foul.  Catch up with the boy in the afternoon, he’s sounding less tin helmety.

Folks seem fine when I ring.  C suffering from neuralgia and preparation for first day back blues.

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.

  2. Pentangle – A Maid That’s Deep In Love
  3. The Beatles – At Stowe School
  4. Shonen Knife – Candy Rock

NDay 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.

  1. Isaac Hayes – Black Moses
  2. David Byrne – The Forest
  3. David Byrne – David Byrne
  4. David Byrne – Rei Momo
