Red Raw

It's May and it's sunny, but it's England so it's only 14 degrees out. Lovely weather for a lovely walk though. Not too hot, no need for suncream! Or so I thought... The perils of being ginger and pale, I have an awesome tshirt tan line round my neck. Bloody English weather. Can't win. 

Fat Cat Poll

Red, blue, yellow, green or purple. My polling station wasn't as interesting as the ones on the news, it's just the church down the road. It's a pretty plain church as churches go, and if you go on a Tuesday night, you'll stumble into a fat club. I can say that because I've been. And I would go again if it wasn't a load of balls. Fat club. For fatties to try and support each other to stop eating so much cake and slim down so they're less fat. You lose weight, you feel better. Pulling your pants up with pride because they're just too gaddamn big! Look at the pies I actually haven't eaten for once. Go me! Eating healthy is hard, and so is doing exercise. But I just did exercise, as walking back up the hill after casting my vote in this election put me right out of breath. That's a slight over exaggeration, but in my mind I was pounding back up that hill like a fat girl chasing an ice cream van. I voted, and now I'm becoming impatient at how much longer the polls are open for. 10pm, not sure I can stay awake that late on a school night.

The King is Dead

Long live the king?? Went here twice last year, walked past on Friday and saw this. Silver board adorning the dirty shabby windows. It was limping on its last dodgy leg for a good while, so it's closure is not much of a surprise. And for the time being it shall stand as a testament to a time long since gone, a time when people would all congregate in their local on a weekend and socialise, and not just curl up in front of Simon Cowells latest shit show of talent planted sob stories with a bottle of £3.50 Chardonnay from tescos. All hail the Dray King of Hindley Green and may the new housing estate, that will inevitably be built here, not contain families with gobshite children.
