In My Hand

May 26th – In my hand

In My HandIn 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

May 19th – My shoes today

My shoes todayMy 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.

Snack

5th May – Snack

SnackTrip 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.

Scran at a Weatherspoons and then home.
