May 10 – In Bloom
In bloom, yeah a revisit to the tarty onions. In other news we watch Ken Burns’ ‘The Vietnam War’ as I sort out the chromebook. Need to go shopping and sort lunches for the week. Back to lates from Monday and it’ll be an exhausting week.
Brief shop, lunch at the Tom and Gerry after an abortive attempt at the Gobin. Visit the coffee shop and round it off at the Lickers.
Feeling really shit again.

A day of rest with the exception of a bit of shopping, a pint, cleaning the floor of the bathroom and kitchen. Glimmer 26 is back to food! Home and make koftas – they work, the bhajis this time don’t, too much batter. Need to follow the recipe rather than winging it! D’oh!
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.
Easter Sunday and Glimmer 11 celebrates the fact I’ve finally cracked the cooking of Onion Bhaji after several years of failed attempts! Delicious too! Cook a pork roast for the day.
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.
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 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.
OK and I’m running late. Grab coffee and sarnies and take photo of a sign I saw the other day that made me laugh out loud, people are so feral. Day went better than the last couple.
Saturday and another day off. Lie in it’s nice! Then off to get Greg the bear shrink wrapped. We go via the ATM and follow the shrink wrapping with a coffee. Nip back home and drop the bear off. Meet C at Lidl and shop. Back home for a bacon sarnie.
Day off and Elsie goes to the Vets for her jabs. Given a lift by Steven and Ryan. Cat behaves well, jabs go well. Struggle with tiredness, Elsie and I repair to bed.
