Morning lightSo away into Wigan in the morning light so C can cancel her standing order to sort an issue. She’s dead chuffed.  We bump into Stue on the way back to the bus station.  We go in with surgical precision, into Nationwide and back to Ashton having found the Little Kitchen has closed.  Brekkie at the Tom and Gerry’s it is.  Then a light bit of shopping in which we find a clock that ticks and chimes (Muggins here pays for the bugger!)

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.
