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!

Back to work today. Team is compact and small. Tales of folk’s New Year drift in and some horrors have manifested themselves! Day flows a few Easy Leads but not enough, HBB and a fair few sales.
January 1st… New Year New Resolutions etc. So this year is an attempt at colour in addition to the monochrome for FMS. Prompt today was Fresh so Sainsbury’s to the rescue. Sainsbury’s itself was odd, the place was cold and felt like it was full of zombie shoppers. Wish the check out lady a happy new year and I get a tirade of all that’s wrong with the world. Couldn’t figure out if I found it sad or funny.
In this moment
Thankful for this…
My mood in object form… well it had to be didn’t is. Cash in the spotlight points today in preparation for planned camera. Most of it arrives today, some batteries on Wednesday. Bit of a bizarre day, lazy start, cold still evident but slightly less knackered than I have been. Light shop, coffee with C, S and R. Pasta planned for tea.
Too many mugs, there’s always too many mugs. Back in for the last early of the week and then we have 4 lates before the bliss of 4 days off. Ash is away this week so Lib’ll step up.
A snack I didn’t share.
The mess I’m ignoring – aka the Marmite pot, which is a gooey mess. Day is a bit strange, C’s last day off and start to sort the kitchen light with Steven’s aid, once he emerges from his cocoon.
My Happy Place, start the day at Kawa’s. Then onto another late, another HBB and I’m stressing about value.
