Nature’s beauty, bit of a rambling concept this one the constant generation and degeneration of nature, yadda yadda yadda! Lazy day, lie in, gentle amble via the chicken shop as we begin the Kidney friendly diet for C. Plan is some sort of Waldorf Salad for tonight. This is followed by a visit to The Coffee Shop.

C visits the ATM and then on to Iceland to view veggie options. Then Lidl. Wee pint in the Tom and Gerry and home. Cook us some scrambled eggs for lunch with a few mushies.

Salad works well and is popular with herself.

In other news, the work on nature’s beauty that will be this Roots allotment is gathering pace, still no idea where their site is but they are communicating with me at least!

Saturday and C is still not right, late up and a trip to the shops, a quick coffee. A bit of a lazy day generally.

Saturday and another day off. Lie in it’s nice! Then off to get Greg the bear shrink wrapped. We go via the ATM and follow the shrink wrapping with a coffee. Nip back home and drop the bear off. Meet C at Lidl and shop. Back home for a bacon sarnie.

Afternoon and it’s a trip to the Turkish barbers. Pint and home.

Lazy start to another day off, not up till 9.40’ish. Wander into Wigan with C who is looking for shoes. First port of call is the market where she deems the shoes too frumpy. A brief coffee as I scarf the rest of my tabs. Then into the Grand Arcade. Shoezone (no wide fit), Clarks (too frumpy) fail to provide. In desperation it’s Schuh and we find some Doc Marten’s she loves, Klarna makes them affordable.

Nip into The Raven in search of lunch, first time we’ve been in since it changed hands and was refurbed. Unimpressed we don’t stay. So we wander into Gallimore’s (later learn it is shutting down on Sunday) and have another of their superb steak baguettes.

Home and a cuppa before wandering off to Lidl. Pint in the Lickers on the way back and bake scones and cook pancakes for tea. Wash up and watch old films with herself.

Curry night, a Punjabi Tomato Curry with Chicken, rice and Naan. Slow cook and caramalise some onions. Also bake some fruit scones. Wee shop with C earlier and swift pint. Pump up the bike tyres in anticipation of tomorrow’s cycle to work.

C tidy’s upstairs as I cook.

Saturday, little light shopping, drink with C at the Tom & Gerry which seems populated by geriatric one armed bandit raiders with loud voices.

Home and sort the cat litter and wash up. Simple food tonight in terms of Haloumi burgers and sweet potato fries. Making some fruit scones too.

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.
