Glimmer 7 and on a sunny day, I find myself looking up the noses of the heads on the Mill on the way into work.
Music
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 Kidney Care UK Lamb Kebabs with some Onion Bhaji. The Bhaji work well surprisingly as they’ve always been appalling when I’ve tried before. Find the kebabs a bit bland tbh.
Am stressing and that’s not good.
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.
Still feeling a bit shit but I will survive! Struggle to get up this morning. Am late in, Lib is worried! In the evening I struggle to eat tea, just not in the mood for it.
Way home and another pint of the Naughty Hooker and a wee nip of Black Bush. It’s not often I have a whiskey but have been chatting with a fella in Crumlin and feel like one tonight.
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.
Grab a brew at Morrison’s and trog to work. Need a pony so find Rachel in before me. Sort Tea and we begin. Not a bad day, no HBB but other than that it’s cool.
Day done, repair unto Wigan and The Swan and Railway to wait for a bus, indulge in a pint of Naughty Hooker. Bus home and salad.
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.
C visits the ATM and then on to Iceland to view veggie options. Then Lidl. Wee pint in the Tom and Gerry and home. Cook us some scrambled eggs for lunch with a few mushies.
Salad works well and is popular with herself.
In other news, the work on nature’s beauty that will be this Roots allotment is gathering pace, still no idea where their site is but they are communicating with me at least!
