Glimmer 24 and stamps with Betty that must really piss off Charlie are still on sale! Needed to post some stuff to HMRC for herself. Last of three shifts before being off and keep the calls down and the sales up. Shit value like but hopefully everything will balance.
Glimmer 23 and it’s a piece of street poetry. Made me smile as I read it. Regrades and add lines but generally an appalling day for conversion. Good in terms of value though! Early start, post letter for herself. Bus home and shop. Food and collapse.
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.
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.
