4th January – Morning Light
So here we go 2,3,4… plan was to nip to the Tom and Gerry, have a coffee, retrieve some extra change, nip to the allotment passing the laundrette proving it was open and back via the laundrette whereupon the laundry would be done. Along the way there was to be photo’s of the morning light. The reality was it starts to snow, the geezer who owns the laundrette had failed to turn up, I managed to start driving down a one way street. On the plus side I did fetch change, grab coffee and take morning light photos. Rearranged plan, once I’d turned round on a back alley was off to the laundrette at Haydock. Got there and the place was rammed. A 30 minute wait for the washing machine, a 20 minute wait for a dryer.
Allotment skipped, but I’m off on Thursday so off to the allotment then. If the laundrette is open will zap a wash through. Why? Just to get on top of the mountain of washing that has mounted up. We just can’t get the drying done.
Home and it’s time for the dec’s to come down, all done in advance of tomorrow’s twelfth night. ‘Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.’
Review #4 – The Incredible Sucking Spongies – The Incredible Sucking Spongies
Instrumental surf plus from an Antwerp based band. Think country & western, sixties classics, mysterious exotica, jazz and obscure TV tunes, all combined to an exciting Surf Cocktail. An interesting listen.

Something square, much debate about this one, ended up with a light at work. Another couple of HBB, what the fuck is going on?
In my hand, a post work pint, keeping the spirit of Nick Lamb alive! So a weird day, yesterday we get told that we’re due in at 11, this morning a panicky message at 9.00 that we need to be like yesterday. On the plus side the day went well, a couple of HBB and good conversion.
Calm and it’s back to work. Bus is late which stresses the fuck out of me. In the end it all worked out was third in with Kat. A better day but still a shite week.
Doorway to No.4, second day off. Little light shopping, little cooking (some scones and a morrocan chickpea and chicken stew). Not the greatest day, required loperamide.
Somthing tiny… the nose of the cat! Last of the set of three earlies, back in on Sunday, then a run of 4 lates. Value is terrible, a bit better today as I finally sold a HBB. Retrieve Jo from the station.
Bloods in Wigan and I’m knackered and so tired I’m On The Ground. Nip into Kawa’s, bump into Fin then realise I don’t have the blood forms. Back on to the bus and it’s a dash back to the Thomas Linacre. They struggle to find blood. Meet C off the bus and a swift pint in the Lickers.
Day 3 of the lates and great delight as I listen to ‘The Demon Barber’ as I’m outside this place. The irony is not lost! Glimmer 16 is the irony.
Glimmer 6 and it’s back to the past. A wee bimble around the shops and a quick snifter with herself. Sort some metadata and clean the kitchen. C makes the bed.
A bit of a lazy start to the day, showered and then away to Sainsbury’s whereupon I find glimmer 5. Home for lunch and then off shopping again. Coffee and a wee pint in the Tom & Gerry. Am cooking the
