4th January – Morning Light
So here we go 2,3,4… plan was to nip to the Tom and Gerry, have a coffee, retrieve some extra change, nip to the allotment passing the laundrette proving it was open and back via the laundrette whereupon the laundry would be done. Along the way there was to be photo’s of the morning light. The reality was it starts to snow, the geezer who owns the laundrette had failed to turn up, I managed to start driving down a one way street. On the plus side I did fetch change, grab coffee and take morning light photos. Rearranged plan, once I’d turned round on a back alley was off to the laundrette at Haydock. Got there and the place was rammed. A 30 minute wait for the washing machine, a 20 minute wait for a dryer.
Allotment skipped, but I’m off on Thursday so off to the allotment then. If the laundrette is open will zap a wash through. Why? Just to get on top of the mountain of washing that has mounted up. We just can’t get the drying done.
Home and it’s time for the dec’s to come down, all done in advance of tomorrow’s twelfth night. ‘Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.’
Review #4 – The Incredible Sucking Spongies – The Incredible Sucking Spongies
Instrumental surf plus from an Antwerp based band. Think country & western, sixties classics, mysterious exotica, jazz and obscure TV tunes, all combined to an exciting Surf Cocktail. An interesting listen.

Something blue, that’ll be me am feeling incredibly down.
Yellow and I end up reaching for the ducks as opposed to the bus!
My Fave Spot – well I suppose the 610 counts as one of them as I experiment with Andy Burnham’s tap on, tap off experiment on the bus. It speeds me to Wigan having been a slug-a-bed after a bad night’s sleep as a result of cold feet.
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.
Generally feeling like shit today. Don’t know what the fuck is up with me but bottom line is that I’m shattered. Struggle to focus and things aren’t great.
Day off and back to bike fettling. Finally think I have the wheels sorted. Swap saddles, order toolkit and saddlebag. Will go for a quick ride tomorrow to test it!
