8th January – A good start

Day off, plan is to get shit done.  I kinda achieve some of that but do catch a kip.  Didn’t get to the allotment, didn’t get the fridge sorted.  But did fetch meds and get the laundry done.  Big changes at the laundrette, various dryers have been ripped out, but they were the ones nobody ever used.  Bring in the new chromebook and realise I have a whole heap of photoshop learning to do.  Never say never!

Managed to grab pics as I fetched change for the laundrette and grabbed some breakfast.  Weather is driech which helps.  See photos from Aberdeen looks like snow is heavy up there so lord knows what it’s like up near Cal.

Pick C up and we watch Masters of Air.  Then head over to Farm Foods for chips to feed S.  Need to sort car tomorrow and have a car hoover coming which is as well as the carpets are bogging.  Need to wash it too!  Will attempt to get to the allotment tomorrow, failing that it’ll be next Wednesday.

No sign of the bin I ordered.  Not overly impressed am hoping that is the thing that needed an additional £2.50 postage.

Review #8 – The Pussycats – The Pussycats EP

All  four studio tracks from The Pussycats on a single EP. raw and driving, like good garage should be. It’s got great horns and pace, stomping percussion and stinging guitar, and of course those femme fatale vocals….innocent yet sultry, and even soulful!  What’s not to like!
