I treated Teresa and myself to lunch at The George, in Whittlesey. A Wetherspoons pub. Ham n’ eggs, with a latté.
We tried to look inside St Mary’s, but it was shut. So I’ve only got these exterior shots:
I’ve now got a hefty double shift, delivering out of the Peterboro’ Amazon depot. I hope they’re both nice easy routes, in pretty places.
Teresa has taken the day off, and is accompanying me on both shifts. ‘Compassionate leave’, looking after her effed-up casualty of a husband.
Had a quick peek in Bob’s Records. Not vast amounts that hits my musical bullseye. For example, the jazz selection wasn’t too exciting. And, like everything these days, vinyl is way too expensive.
But actually there was a respectable amount of music I really do like. E.g. lots of groovy vintage John Mayall. Some Sergio Mendes. And a Live at Newport, ‘72, featuring various artists – Curtis Mayfield, Les McCann, Herbie Mann, etc. – that I’d quite like.
LATER…
Well, the first shift was pretty ‘orrible. Esp’ the first chunk, which was lots of flats in central Peterboro’. Proper ‘orrid!
Between shifts we stopped in the environs of Mandeville (I think?), for a bit of refreshing greenery scenery.
The second shift was all over the shop. But more largely countryside-ish, which I far prefer. Both shifts I had to return a few undelivered items to the depot. I don’t like doing that. But I think it’s preferable to taking a chance on leaving stuff at an address and risking a ‘not received’ outcome.
We got back pretty late. Around 9.45 pm. The above is the view from the doorway of J & B Fish Bar, when I picked up our order of Chicken Chow Mein and Mushrump Foo Yung, for our late supper. Mmm… yummy!
I’m soooo grateful to Teresa, my darling wife for taking the day off to be sure I was ok. I had a very rough night and following morning. And having her by my side today really helped me get through things.
