Movements – first late and I’m flying, value is shite, conversion good. Feeling crap. Long shift.
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.
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.
Last day off for a wee while and it’s a busy one. Laundrette day, change pedals day, bake custard pie, make mince and potato pie, give the cat her flea and worming treatment. Hoover and clean the oven and kitchen.
So Laundrette had a dryer hog, it started pissing down as I left. Cat avoided the pills. But on the plus side the custard pie seems to have worked. Mince and potato pie is a work in progress.
Feeling really shit, hit the booze to deal with it, not certain that that’s a good idea. That being said I just continue.
Queenie comes out to play! Meanwhile a day that started off poorly but finished relatively strongly.
Manage to retrieve the bike from the Station, snow is promised for tomorrow so might be a bus day!
So last day off for a couple of days. A day of rest, a few bits and bobs done, phone the vet and sort cat tabs, ask about her vaccination date. She’s due jabs the middle of next month so need to ring back at the beginning of the month.
Another attempt at fitting the new handlebar grips, resign myself to the notion it ain’t happening. Order a different set that are simpler and supposedly rubber. Hoping they are easier to fit.
Monday… holding text.
A day of bike fettling, would be great if I knew what I was doing! C off from work. Waiting on arrival of late required inner tubes! Fucked up when removing the tyres, mind you gawd alone knows how old the tubes were that were in the bike. New saddle arrives as well. Might not get to ride into work tomorrow, depends on arrival time of the tubes. They are meant to be here by 10pm. Arrive at about 7.00, tyres are a bastard to fit back but seem to manage. Get’em back on the bike, will pump up tonight to see how well I’ve done!
Well one wheel is fine, other is fucked… we go again tomorrow night!
Need to get a small socket set and small saddle bag.
Bank Holiday
