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.

Obviously this screen is not going to tell me anything useful.

A day of lazy shopping and gentle cooking. Pedals, Hex Keys and Gloves arrive. The 15mm spanner the web tells me is useful for pedal changing is in fact no use, looks like an 18mm is needed. Which spanner is missing from the set I own. Yep, the 18mm… order one. Need grease as well which I order. C is convinced the bike is costing a fortune. It’s not, more a case of well being.

A week of lates beckons. News full of Ofcom’s A ffordability of communications services: April 2023 update a day of drops beckons. Sure enough the day pans out that way, a usual week may have one or two in it. Today 4 of the buggers.

In other news I end up chatting to someone who works at SLAIS and who knew the McIlwaine’s. Ia has apparently shuffled of this mortal coil which is sad. Turns out she has a Wikipedia page the obit is here.

Bus home was a bit of an adventure, came home via Winstanley, no idea why, was a touch weird but what the heck.

Photo today was a Sunday snap when I got beyond a set of gates that are usually shut. I guess a little light urbex. Either way it was interesting and the string of lights set things off nicely.

Tomorrow’s prompt is ‘found’ so will have to channel my inner Marcel Duchamps. Be interesting to see what sort of found objects I come across.

So 55 today. Lots of birthday wishes which was nice. Lovely card from C and fun card from S. Ch as St bring a card round too which was cool and appreciated.

Morning a bit of a food shop followed by a bit of a contretemps regarding the availability of a pound coin as we move shops between Lidl and Aldi, fetch change and off to Aldi we go. Birthday lunch in the Robin, nice touch was the bar staff buying me a birthday drink.

Steven drags round copious amounts of beer too which is most welcome. A few of the usual suspects like Doom Bar, Bishops Finger and Old Speckled Hen but a few different ones too. I guess that I’m a bit predictable! Lol, we also bought me a bottle of Leffe. Didn’t get round to drinking any of them.

Cal calls after work which was good. Relatively early night in anticipation of work in the morning. Have to admit bed is welcome, not been the best of birthdays to be fair.
