Last day of the run of three, couple of days off will be welcome. All the kids are going bowling. Meanwhile there is trouble brewing and rebellion is in the air. There are times that inexperience don’t help. Me I’m chilled!

Parliament – Funked Up

In other news I end up chatting to someone who works at SLAIS and who knew the McIlwaine’s. Ia has apparently shuffled of this mortal coil which is sad. Turns out she has a Wikipedia page the obit is here.
Bus home was a bit of an adventure, came home via Winstanley, no idea why, was a touch weird but what the heck.
Photo today was a Sunday snap when I got beyond a set of gates that are usually shut. I guess a little light urbex. Either way it was interesting and the string of lights set things off nicely.
Tomorrow’s prompt is ‘found’ so will have to channel my inner Marcel Duchamps. Be interesting to see what sort of found objects I come across.

Sunday and making up time, early bus, morning photo wander. Grab a coffee at McColls. Chat at work, then dialler drops, move machine.
Geared up for move tomorrow. Leave at 2.30, wander into town, swift pint of Theakston’s Vanilla Stout in the Swan and Railway, nice and then the Superior bus home.
Bit of an afternoon kip and then beef curry from the chippy via a pint of Patron Saint in the Tom and Gerry (well it is St George’s Day!)
Laundry day we wander to the shops first and head to the Laundrette in the afternoon. Shove the washing in, still no coffee machine at the garage, however The Caledonian is open so I wander in for this beauty.
General shit chatted in the laundrette, a bit of a read.

Hmm… a day in three halves, started well with an Asda fetch of things. Stroll to work, take a couple of photos.
Day’s going well ’til 1.00 when I get a call from the School. C has chest pains, can I meet her at A&E. Hoof it to the chippy, buy sausage and chips. Nip to the bus station shovelling the scran in. Bus to the Infirmary. Up there by about 1.30. C arrives by 3.
Then wait, seen by a medic about 5. Whisked off for x-ray and then more bloods. Inconclusive so more bloods at 9.30. We wait on results.
So at 01.00 we’ve had enough and walk! We’ll strictly speaking we taxi.
