Growth

7th March Growth

GrowthDay 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!

A Moment Of Gratitude

6th March A moment of gratitude

A Moment Of GratitudeLast 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.

Free Choice

28th Free Choice

Free ChoiceFriday 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.

Onto the list. First off I am sent to the doctors to fetch blood forms, pots to piss in and to rearrange the time of the telephone consult.  Then to book a bloods appointment, ring the people concerned only to discover I have to book it online.  So online I go.  Next a trip to the post office to send Christine’s birthday card.

Next to sorting the pedals on the bike.  Much easier than I thought it’d be.
