"Where were you when I was edging?"

And you'd forgotten. OK, long time no post. A lot can happen in a month. I've upped-sticks / up-rooted from my 27 years or so of Conwy living and headed out towards Chester (just still in North Wales). A commute back 'home' to Conwy sees me driving into the postcard scene every other day, yet still I know it's "just Conwy". The other week days the commute takes me along Mold Road, Wrexham and every other day a twitch for a season ticket as I can't but help looking at the stadium, and peek through the gates to get a flash view of the green pitch and the concrete steps (soon to be demolished) of the Kop...

Reason for the move, is mainly down to my girlfriends new job out near Chester, working in a large .com company (9 years into this internet malarkey as a job/career, and i'm still keepin' it real in the N.Wales agencies! He tells himself...).

So i've moved. Into the groove of the A55 commute, and Wrexham traffic systems. I now have a "Welsh Water Account Reference Number", pay "Council Tax", have a "BT Account Number", have several shopping hours in IKEA under my belt (as well as the meatballs) this must make me a veteran? Had to laugh when emptying my jeans pockets (for the first spin in the washing machine) to find a Homebase Spend & Save Card 'application form' - that'll be from the time I had to nip there and buy my very own 'claw hammer'! We're also contracted to keep the garden tidy: a lawn mower, edging knife and a pair of garden shears are in the shed. What more could I want... mmm that Black & Decker Workmate? Never!...?

So there we are, i've been shopping in places I never thought my card would be swiped, and sorting everything an unfurnished house might need... As a break in the middle of this lot I was at a mates party one weekend in Shrewsbury, don't remember too much about it save the "hungover, ive got to pull over in this lay-by to lie down for an hour" drive home.

So anyway, just briefly, football. Morecambe the first home game of the season... roll on August. Our house backs onto the local football clubs ground/field, already i've looked them up and where they stand in the Welsh League system... think Conference North. More posts soon.
