7th January – Something inspiring
So today was a bit of a strange one. Systems went down. A HBB and laugh as the systems played up and a heap of cancellation.
Get home and C is on the warpath with Barclay’s. 3 agents in and two dropped calls because I was making the delicate little flowers uncomfortable.
Think Barclays may be getting an introduction to the OED definition of final.
Hare up to the bank and pay off the little buggers on the interest they did not tell us about when giving us a final settlement figure. Bring back dead thing that I really don’t do justice to. On the plus side it is done… until they invent something else.
Meanwhile I’m behind on some things I promised myself I’d try and achieve this year. Catch up tomorrow. Nip for a quick pint at the Tom and Gerry, served by my fave barman, Sam.
Review #7 – The Violet Mindfield – Hello Darling
Lots of variety in terms of the feel and mood of the tracks on this album, the album flows as it goes along bringing fuzzy and jangly delight. Was a great accompaniment to doing the laundry!

A little chaos – and the last late. In via the post office. Long story involving a mistake on a form. Cost £8 to fix.
Behind the scenes
Sock that lost its partner… Saturday and we’re off. Brief debate about trip round the Parish Church in Wigan, weather is shite so we postpone. C fetches wool to do a bit of knitting for work. General shop.
Handmade, the kidney friendly diet and a bit of a disaster. Lentil bolagnese will not remain on the menu!
Glimmer 7 and on a sunny day, I find myself looking up the noses of the heads on the Mill on the way into work.
Day one off after a hard week and I’m knackered. Up late, brekkie at the Tom and Gerry (Miner’s Benedict). Then away to the Chemist’s to fetch the meds for the pair of us.
Day off
An early morning trip to the pictures. As a result of Sunday bus timetables we repair unto McDead Thing before wandering along to the Empire picture house. ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ was the film of choice. Thoroughly enjoyed by the pair of us.
