In BloomIn bloom, yeah a revisit to the tarty onions.  In other news we watch Ken Burns’ ‘The Vietnam War’ as I sort out the chromebook.    Need to go shopping and sort lunches for the week.  Back to lates from Monday and it’ll be an exhausting week.

Brief shop, lunch at the Tom and Gerry after an abortive attempt at the Gobin.  Visit the coffee shop and round it off at the Lickers.

Feeling really shit again.

An abundance Monday and I’m despatched to deliver the piss to the GPs. Hazel is due to suffer the final indignity, it only hurts if you get your fingers caught between the bricks. Brief shop in Aldi and then onto the laundrette. My cunning plan of coffee, music and book is interrupted by building work at the garage. Plan B from Planet 57 swings into action and it’s a sausage barm and coffee from the sandwich shop.

Back home and the plan is cook a lasagne for tomorrow, gammon and chips for tonight.

JSo last day off for a couple of days. A day of rest, a few bits and bobs done, phone the vet and sort cat tabs, ask about her vaccination date. She’s due jabs the middle of next month so need to ring back at the beginning of the month.

Another attempt at fitting the new handlebar grips, resign myself to the notion it ain’t happening.  Order a different set that are simpler and supposedly rubber.  Hoping they are easier to fit.

I Stood Here...

I Stood Here…

10th, Architecture, FMS Photo A Day, May 2023, Street Photography, Wednesday, , , , ,

I Stood Here...Poke in the eye day.  Travel with Carol to work and continue on to the delightful Leigh.  Arrive too early for the Costa to be open so repair unto McDead thing, mainly because I need the loo.  Breakfast and coffee before I head up to to the Walk-In.  Wander up the Avenue,  arrive there at about 07:45.  Hang around 15 minutes waiting on coffee. Then head into the Walk-In. Way too early when I sign in.

Wait around 45 minutes before I get called in to get the poke in the eye.  It goes ok.

Walk down to Leigh and light is a vague issue but not enough to break out the shades.  Coffee and then head to the bus/

Stop off at Asda in Goldborne looking for fence preserver.  Not there so might need a trip out in the morning before I get on with slapping it on tomorrow (weather permitting).
