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!)

Glimmer 27Sunday in, get into Wigan and the police have cordoned off the town centre.  No idea what it was about.  Plan on coffee from Morrisons and the Costa machine, but no coffee there.  Did sort the cream cheese for the next experiment in kidney friendly food.  Glimmer 27 is a ghost sign in town.

Day at work is OK conversion wise, shite value wise.

Swift pint in the Swan and onto the bus.  Ring Cal, he’s ok, seems to be dabbling in stocks and shares.  Ring home, hay fever has struck.

LinesLines…. it’s a brick. First of the lates and the usual greeting with Liberty of 3 more days!  Bit of a slow start, the hardest HBB supported by Ash.  Generally other than value think it was an alright day but a cheeky add line may have saved me.  A few mobile lines help too.

Still feeling a bit shit but I will survive!  Struggle to get up this morning.  Am late in, Lib is worried!  In the evening I struggle to eat tea, just not in the mood for it.

Way home and another pint of the Naughty Hooker and a wee nip of Black Bush.  It’s not often I have a whiskey but have been chatting with a fella in Crumlin and feel like one tonight.
