8th March Details
Lazy start to another day off, not up till 9.40’ish. Wander into Wigan with C who is looking for shoes. First port of call is the market where she deems the shoes too frumpy. A brief coffee as I scarf the rest of my tabs. Then into the Grand Arcade. Shoezone (no wide fit), Clarks (too frumpy) fail to provide. In desperation it’s Schuh and we find some Doc Marten’s she loves, Klarna makes them affordable.
Nip into The Raven in search of lunch, first time we’ve been in since it changed hands and was refurbed. Unimpressed we don’t stay. So we wander into Gallimore’s (later learn it is shutting down on Sunday) and have another of their superb steak baguettes.
Home and a cuppa before wandering off to Lidl. Pint in the Lickers on the way back and bake scones and cook pancakes for tea. Wash up and watch old films with herself.

Day two of lates and a sneaky HBB. Value is shite. Absoulutely knackered.
Friday and I’m given a list. But first its time to sort the panniers on the bike in daylight. Discover I’d put them on back to front. Relatively easy to sort. Pop in the bike locks and job’s a good’un.
Been a bit of a bizarre day tbh. Up and out early, off to Wigan to capture some images. Still playing catch up with this place. New Long Ryder’s album on the way in. Vaguely thought a coffee might be welcome but cancelled out on the idea, got into work to no chair, Liam next to me had used it, grabbed it back, no headphones, he’d had those too I later dicovered. Have been allocated a locker which is useful because I’ll stash my stuff when we go away to keep thieving mitts off!
