The Wino’s Shelf

After a day off, today effectively becomes Monday e.g. I’m in the car and doing the shopping.

L sends me for some cheap plonk to put in the cake she’s baking for me. No expense spared for our own Bake Off. I have a long look on the wino’s shelf at Sainsburys but in the end come back with a bottle of Old Tom, which she suggested just so that she can lick the spoon.

I had been expecting to be going to the football tonight but I found out only a few days ago that apparently we now have an away cup game at Barnsley instead of a home league game. Nice of them to tell me.

As expected our illustrious manager decides to field the reserves while Barnsley take it seriously, hence we lose. With none of the first team involved it makes you wonder why they cancelled the league game, they could have played both simultaneously.

With nothing happening in the league and unlikely to do so, I can lose interest again now until the FA Cup starts, when we will probably play a weakened team again...

Continuing To Train, Sort Of

L has a day off, I think she’s just dodging work but it may be to get ready for the holiday by baking raspberry buns and to become a redhead again. I hope the colouring doesn’t run in Loch Lomond or in the Scottish mist.

I continue to sort of train, sort of. I bike to work and then swim. At least that’s my two swim sessions a month done already. I also manage to get a bike locker this week. Two of the four are broken and the other week the other two were full. Instead I had to lock my bike to L’s with my padlock, which is all I usually bring with me. This time I bring a full lock and chain but don’t need it as a locker is free, which is lucky as L isn’t there.
