6th April Glimmer 6
Glimmer 6 and it’s back to the past. A wee bimble around the shops and a quick snifter with herself. Sort some metadata and clean the kitchen. C makes the bed.

A bit of a lazy start to the day, showered and then away to Sainsbury’s whereupon I find glimmer 5. Home for lunch and then off shopping again. Coffee and a wee pint in the Tom & Gerry. Am cooking the 
First day off and Glimmer 4. Chase up to to the laundrette and sit there for a while reading, listening to tunes and generally chilling. Back home, nip out for a bit to get some shopping and a subway. Grab a bit of a kip and then meet C off the bus. Nip to the lickers and wait on the bonus slip fury. Mine is positive so that’s cool. Geoff comes in we buy him a drink. Nip to the bank for C. Home and a quick curry for R, S and myself and a chicken salad for herself.
Last of the lates and don’t think the value is going too well, sales are though. Glimmer 3 and it’s tempus fugit and all that jazz.
Wednesday and things get a bit better. Struggling with the old mental health a but work helps. Glimmer 2 see’s me at the open air gallery in town. People apparently Mek Wigan.
Tuesday and it’s the second late of the set. The bugger of it is that the motorway has snarled up as I go in so I end up on a late bus and jumping a train. Still gives me a chance to find Glimmer 1. And lo when I arrive at the station the ticket wombles are in evidence. Marched to the ticket office to pay for a ticket them having accepted bugger all options at Bryn. Day goes OK. Still not feeling great. Somehow it’s Tuesday and we have two days left after today. HBB again and the day is OK but not great. Team on the other hand is great, a supportive bunch. Lates are truly a pain in the arse, can’t sort out stuff early and get to work on time, get to work late and finish late. Get home, feed people sleep.
Lines…. it’s a brick. First of the lates and the usual greeting with Liberty of 3 more days! Bit of a slow start, the hardest HBB supported by Ash. Generally other than value think it was an alright day but a cheeky add line may have saved me. A few mobile lines help too.
My Fave Spot – well I suppose the 610 counts as one of them as I experiment with Andy Burnham’s tap on, tap off experiment on the bus. It speeds me to Wigan having been a slug-a-bed after a bad night’s sleep as a result of cold feet.
Nature’s beauty, bit of a rambling concept this one the constant generation and degeneration of nature, yadda yadda yadda! Lazy day, lie in, gentle amble via the chicken shop as we begin the Kidney friendly diet for C. Plan is some sort of Waldorf Salad for tonight. This is followed by a visit to The Coffee Shop.
A playful day off. First up a wee lie in, then a trip to Wigan to fetch the bike and pop the council tax dosh into the bank. Clearly the Nationwide has only recently reopened because I score a free tote bag. Turns out useful because I’ve not dressed for the cycle and it goes onto the back rack with the lock in it. Prior to that though breakfast at the Station Cafe.
