My shoes today

May 19th – My shoes today

My shoes todayMy shoes today… well some of them.  What should be a chilled day off turns out to be somewhat more complex.  First off the fence gets painted.  Then the washing is done and hung and repeated with the paint spattered clothes.  The whole thing was a three cup of tea job.

Then off to the GPs to argue with the receptionist about an appointment for C and my meds – there are no Pioglitazone 15mg to be had in the country.  Still waiting for an alternative from the GPs pharmacist.

Meet C off the bus, she decides to change GP practice.  Fetch forms, nip to the Tom and Gerry’s because she’s knackered.  Nip to the shop as she heads home.  Pie for tonight and shove on a chilli on for tomorrow.

On the tableWell that was an interesting morning, herself goes off on one, I escape to the shop via a coffee which provided me with the shot on the table.  Fail to find the required pasta.  This is not greeted well.  Get on the bike to test my fix (didn’t make much difference, chain still unshipping in any gear other than fifth!).  Go to Aldi.  Still no lasagne.

Morning light

May 17 – Morning Light

Morning lightSo 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!)

Weekend Vibes

May 3 – Weekend Vibes

Weekend VibesWeekend Vibes and it’s Part Time Punks weekend and it’s a trip to Leeds.  Begins well when I miss the bus, cancelled train and it’s travel as normal.  I’ve built in time redundancy so not stressed.  Get to Leeds and it’s off for lunch in Kirkgate Market.  Cracking veggie thali washed down with a Mango Lassi.  Then off to find the Airbnd.  Positives, it’s central, negatives, how do I get into the fucking place and the host is not the most communicative.

In and out and in time for a beer at Wharf Chambers before kick off.  See Jay who introduces me to a few people, includes Gareth’s label boss.  See Andrew and Anne.  We shoot the breeze and Nervous Twitch kick off.  A few camera issues as I sort out the best lens for the circumstances.  Cracking set with a few new tunes.  Fab stuff.  They day continues in this vein. By the end of the night I’m knackered, I’ve probably drunk too much and I’m hangry.
