28th March Playful
A playful day off. First up a wee lie in, then a trip to Wigan to fetch the bike and pop the council tax dosh into the bank. Clearly the Nationwide has only recently reopened because I score a free tote bag. Turns out useful because I’ve not dressed for the cycle and it goes onto the back rack with the lock in it. Prior to that though breakfast at the Station Cafe.
Train back to Bryn, visit the quacks to fetch a bloods form and pots for C to piss in. Back to the house and play with a playful Elsie.
C arrives home, we both have a shower and it’s best bib and tucker for Joe and Margaret’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary up at Aspull British Legion. Bee App gives us the route. C not happy at the walk to the Legion. Celebration is fun and good to catch up with folk.

First day off and I’ve big plans for the day, lots of tidying up but a wee kip. Rudely interrupted by a call from herself, she’s had an asthma attack so it’s onto the bus for me to fetch her from school. Totally changes the nature of the day. Slip into carer mode. Nip for a pint. As I’m in the pub Ash asks for bonus slips. Something is up.
Day off and Elsie goes to the Vets for her jabs. Given a lift by Steven and Ryan. Cat behaves well, jabs go well. Struggle with tiredness, Elsie and I repair to bed.
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.
Friday and I’m given a list. But first its time to sort the panniers on the bike in daylight. Discover I’d put them on back to front. Relatively easy to sort. Pop in the bike locks and job’s a good’un.
Friday, day off, get to spend it with half term bound C. A bit of a mooch round the shops. Lunch in the Gobin. Relief to have a bit of a lie in, lates are really taking it out of me.
Day off
Day off and back to bike fettling. Finally think I have the wheels sorted. Swap saddles, order toolkit and saddlebag. Will go for a quick ride tomorrow to test it!
