Crisp Delf mine...I banged me noggin...then saw doggers..

..caught it a real cracker on an outcrop of rock, surprised it didn't bring the roof down I hit it that hard. I'm left with a slight cut and a lump for the memory, just goes to show why baseball caps aren't considered PPE.

Moving on though, this place is massive, the galleries and side chambers suck up light like a black hole, which is essentially what it is. Located in the Northern badlands of 'just near Wigan but not Wigan, or Skelmersdale but somewhere inbetween'. Couldn't tell you a thing about it though, beyond how big, dangerous and fun it is.

Bits of the roof were falling down around me as I was taking pics, not big bits of roof, but if enough of them decided to drop at once, Mendo would be skinnier than ever, kinda pancake thin. Something to think about that, pancakes.

Anywho, we (me, Bungle, Stoka, Bigjobs and Littlejobs) spent a good couple of hours mooching around taking in the sights and struggling to fill the place light. Was pretty good fun, apart from banging my head. Banging your head on something solid and immovable...well, I was always gonna come off second best.

Then we saw doggers.

...so tired...

...I am. Dunno why but this week I can hardly keep my eyes open. Came back from Wales on Sunday, back to work on Monday, Tuesday at Sal's and Wednesday picking up the pieces of a pointless argument.

Thursday was quiet and today I'm shattered. Don't seem to have done much recently, or at least I haven't taken that many pics recently. Me an Sal stopped off at St Mary's Halt in the Forest of Dean on the way back from Wales, thought it was an abandoned station when we drove past but it's actually used by a bunch of rail enthusiasts, made for a nice couple of hours chilled out mooching though.

And today the Theatre Royal, Hyde opened its doors for the Heritage Open Days. It's the third or fourth time I've visited over the years and I always enjoy having a look round this once grand theatre. It's in amazing condition considering it closed down in 1992, and from what I can gather it stands a good chance of being reopened within the next few years as well. Result.

For fucks sake.

It's just the internet. Get over it.
