10th March 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.

Sunday morning and a lazy start to the day. Coffee at the coffee shop and then a wee shop followed by a visit to the Tom and Gerry for a beer. Back home and it’s out into the jungle at the front to clear dead bits and ivy.
Lazy start to another day off, not up till 9.40’ish. Wander into Wigan with C who is looking for shoes. First port of call is the market where she deems the shoes too frumpy. A brief coffee as I scarf the rest of my tabs. Then into the Grand Arcade. Shoezone (no wide fit), Clarks (too frumpy) fail to provide. In desperation it’s Schuh and we find some Doc Marten’s she loves, Klarna makes them affordable.
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.
Last day of lates thank fuck. Get a HBB, not proud of it but it saved some dosh and had a trainee listening in as I did it. Jess was ok but baffled by it all. Find it quite stressful being listened to, don’t help that the splitter lower’s the volume. Think my value’s been shite too.
3rd shift of lates, uninspiring am knackered. Nipped to Lidl with a list and cook the most uninspiring meal. C not happy at the dishes in the sink, in my defence nothing to do with me, S and R dishes.
Day two of lates and a sneaky HBB. Value is shite. Absoulutely knackered.
1st of the lates and I’m struggling. Thank gawd for Kawa’s. Still struggle with a late start, too early to do much, too late to not do something.
Sunday and I’m in… at least there is Pizza. Phone the boy and Mum as usual, watch the Throw Down and Call the Midwife. More importantly home to meal cooked by C including dumplings. Love ’em!
Curry night, a Punjabi Tomato Curry with Chicken, rice and Naan. Slow cook and caramalise some onions. Also bake some fruit scones. Wee shop with C earlier and swift pint. Pump up the bike tyres in anticipation of tomorrow’s cycle to work.
