In BloomIn bloom, yeah a revisit to the tarty onions.  In other news we watch Ken Burns’ ‘The Vietnam War’ as I sort out the chromebook.    Need to go shopping and sort lunches for the week.  Back to lates from Monday and it’ll be an exhausting week.

Brief shop, lunch at the Tom and Gerry after an abortive attempt at the Gobin.  Visit the coffee shop and round it off at the Lickers.

Feeling really shit again.

SnackTrip to the ‘pool today.  Start of with a Snack, sausage sarnie.  Then on to The Walker Art Gallery.  Bit of nice Paul Nash, bit of Johnny Vegas.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  They’re advertising a Holly Johnson exhibition down at The Museum of Liverpool Life.

C not happy on the walk, so we hit The White Star for a beer.  Gives C a chance to rest up.  She walks the rest of the way.  Exhibition is interesting but a bit light.
