I treated Teresa and myself to lunch at The George, in Whittlesey. A Wetherspoons pub. Ham n\u2019 eggs, with a latt\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tried to look inside St Mary\u2019s, but it was shut. So I\u2019ve only got these exterior shots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve now got a hefty double shift, delivering out of the Peterboro\u2019 Amazon depot. I hope they\u2019re both nice easy routes, in pretty places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa has taken the day off, and is accompanying me on both shifts. \u2018Compassionate leave\u2019, looking after her effed-up casualty of a husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checked out Bob\u2019s Records.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Had a quick peek in Bob\u2019s Records. Not vast amounts that hits my musical bullseye. For example, the jazz selection wasn\u2019t too exciting. And, like everything these days, vinyl is way <\/em>too expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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, \u201872<\/em>, featuring various artists – Curtis Mayfield, Les McCann, Herbie Mann, etc. – that I\u2019d quite like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mandeville (?), Peterborough.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

LATER\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the first shift was pretty \u2018orrible. Esp\u2019 the first chunk, which was lots of flats in central Peterboro\u2019. Proper \u2018orrid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between shifts we stopped in the environs of Mandeville (I think?), for a bit of refreshing greenery scenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019t like doing that. But I think it\u2019s preferable to taking a chance on leaving stuff at an address and risking a \u2018not received\u2019 outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got back late.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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\u2026 yummy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m 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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
