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.

From BelowFrom 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.

Odd day, no idea how it finished up but I do know I have a phone to code in the morning so that’s not too bad.  Still struggling with HBB but did a regrade.  Another cycle to work, came back on the bus.  Phone C from below on the double decker she lets me know who I’m feeding.

Elsie has apparently been sleeping most of the day.  C is worried.
