XLast 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.

Obviously this screen is not going to tell me anything useful.

A day of lazy shopping and gentle cooking.  Pedals, Hex Keys and Gloves arrive.  The 15mm spanner the web tells me is useful for pedal changing is in fact no use, looks like an 18mm is needed.  Which spanner is missing from the set I own.  Yep, the 18mm… order one.  Need grease as well which I order.  C is convinced the bike is costing a fortune.  It’s not, more a case of well being.

PeacefulA week of lates beckons. News full of Ofcom’s Affordability of communications services: April 2023 update a day of drops beckons.  Sure enough the day pans out that way,  a usual week may have one or two in it.  Today 4 of the buggers.

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.
