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.
Roast to cook and washing up to sort.

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.
Nip into The Raven in search of lunch, first time we’ve been in since it changed hands and was refurbed. Unimpressed we don’t stay. So we wander into Gallimore’s (later learn it is shutting down on Sunday) and have another of their superb steak baguettes.
Home and a cuppa before wandering off to Lidl. Pint in the Lickers on the way back and bake scones and cook pancakes for tea. Wash up and watch old films with herself.
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.
Bit of housework with the yodelling hoover in the living room and kitchen. Act as Mrs Mopp in the kitchen and hallway.
Meet C off the bus, into the Lickers for a pint with herself, meet Geoff. Then a wee trip to Lidl and back via a pint of Porter (Boudicca) at the Tom and Gerry. Cook and chill in front of Top of the Pops. Seems to be a Depeche Mode night. Influences the old downloads!
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.
Coffee grabbed on the way to work and jobs a good ‘un. Wander down a Gregory Webster rabbit hole today!
