Shopping is still for woofers 

Food shopping aside, I agree. Really enjoy the Sainsbury’s food shop. A couple of hours listening to podcasts and no wife or kids in my ears.

Went to our usual farm shop.

Do enjoy the place, but when it gets like a railway station with delayed trains it's shite.

SAD kicks in a bit, and can't wait to fuck off.

Love a mooch round the shops but avoid places like Primark as it gives me the fear.

Finally doing some work on the land that used to be williams BMW.

Went into Bolton Friday and Bury today, I reckon if Slaters closed I'd just stop nipping to town.

Noticed some scrub removal a week or two back. 

Dunno what's occurring though.

Bury took the money and let the developers do what they wanted, Bolton was trying to coordinate developments across the whole town. Then the recession happened and no developers were spending anything.

There was no town centre sites to hold on to for those of any heritage.

 

Utter bullshit.

Go polish your beads.

He usually does.

You know of whom I speak. I am too far from the kitchen to know everything which is cooking.

I know one thing. Our town is a shit hole as far as the centre is concerned. Every time I return it has gone further down hill.

It is. 

Hopefully the proposed centre regeneration will help, but it will take more than that.

Went to the panto at Victoria halls on Wed evening (very good by the way) and town was dead. The market place has so much potential, people talk about the Rock in Bury as being some kind of shopping heaven but from what I’ve seen it’s on a par with the MP.

Went to a show at the Albert Halls today (what a beautiful building) 

But like you say, absolutely dead 

I even went earlier as I thought I'd struggle to park,  not the case 

Back there Tuesday for the panto at victoria halls

41C tomorrow with 27C minimum at 2am. I hate it. On the plus side, it makes me even more irritable than usual

Only 25deg. here in Sydney Pal. I’m not complaining. Christmas shopping on George St. rather than Bradshawgate is diffent but rather nice.😊

I love these 'best Santa' competitions me.

Bloke in the middle wins it followed by the surfboard. Bloke on the left's not even trying.

All trumped by the fella dressed as a christmas tree.

Still find it weird. Especially when they go for snow scenes etc.

Still, there are people here that believe RL is 'the greatest game of all' or that AFL is far superior to association football.

Weird should not be a surprise.
