In my hand, a post work pint, keeping the spirit of Nick Lamb alive! So a weird day, yesterday we get told that we’re due in at 11, this morning a panicky message at 9.00 that we need to be like yesterday. On the plus side the day went well, a couple of HBB and good conversion.

My shoes today… well some of them. What should be a chilled day off turns out to be somewhat more complex. First off the fence gets painted. Then the washing is done and hung and repeated with the paint spattered clothes. The whole thing was a three cup of tea job.
Then off to the GPs to argue with the receptionist about an appointment for C and my meds – there are no Pioglitazone 15mg to be had in the country. Still waiting for an alternative from the GPs pharmacist.
Meet C off the bus, she decides to change GP practice. Fetch forms, nip to the Tom and Gerry’s because she’s knackered. Nip to the shop as she heads home. Pie for tonight and shove on a chilli on for tomorrow.

Trip to the ‘pool today. Start of with a Snack, sausage sarnie. Then on to The Walker Art Gallery. Bit of nice Paul Nash, bit of Johnny Vegas. Thoroughly enjoyed it. They’re advertising a Holly Johnson exhibition down at The Museum of Liverpool Life.
C not happy on the walk, so we hit The White Star for a beer. Gives C a chance to rest up. She walks the rest of the way. Exhibition is interesting but a bit light.
Glimmer 28 and it’s a bee on a thistle! First of the lates. HBB, good conversion and the value seems OK. Day flies. Cook a pasta bake that is kidney friendly, both of us decide it is bland and decide not worth cooking again.

Glimmer 21 and Elsie provides once again. She’s enjoyed playing with Nelson the fly to the extent she’s ripped off one of his eyes. Late up and a bit of light shopping. Pint with herself. Back home and whip up a quick batch of pancakes for lunch. Once again enjoy using the crepe pan I bought a couple of years ago. Simple pleasures and all that jazz.

Glimmer 14 and I’m in Kawa’s and taking photos of photos. Great coffee as usual and the first of a series of lates. Day goes OK, not brilliantly but you can only deal with what it deals you.
