Friday, day off, get to spend it with half term bound C. A bit of a mooch round the shops. Lunch in the Gobin. Relief to have a bit of a lie in, lates are really taking it out of me.
Really pleasant having a day with C.

Another late, swift ale at the Swan & Railway on the way home. Delight at finding Doctor Morton’s Duck Baffler, seemed entirely appropriate.
Bit of a session on the new bonus scheme, people are getting a bit uptight about it. Had nothing from it yet but then my value hasn’t been wonderful. But believe we are getting there. Think one of the issues is that it is very difficult to calculate value beyond the basics.
Day off and it’s been a busy day. Off to Wigan to fetch the bike. Get off and nip into Go Outdoors… third set of handgrips and new daysack, (zips on the last are pissing about so bin beckons). Coffee at Kawa’s. Train, fetch meds for Elsie and then to Aldi. Get stuff for tonight’s tea. Discover it’s only C and myself. Cook us a bolognese. Then off for a new Qi charger, the bits I forgot, grab a quick pint, then a haircut. Go to find C a wheatbag, proves to be a more problematic thing than it should be. Sort handgrips (the hairspray tip works!) and cook.
Pre-order the new Jetstream Pony album. Meet C off bus and a wee drop in the hand in the lickers. Back and food.
Hmm back to work today, need to work on the whole value thing. News from Nathan is he’s expecting a wee girl. Day wasn’t too bad, some clangers but some good news too.
