April 26 Glimmer 26
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!
In the meanwhile C looks at a scam site and falls for it. It’s easy to do and when Nationwide give her the heads up, they are fabulous when she calls.

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 Saturday and it’s Glimmer 10, cherry blossom always reminds me of 14 Queens Avenue.
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.
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.
Day off. Day starts with me taking the piss… literally to the GPs. Whereupon NHS IT strikes, they have to hand write the sample form because the printer is dead. On the way up a couple of photos. Need to look at them to see if they are prompt suitable. Jump a bus back home.
C still crook, had a rough nights sleep, get up manage to trip the fuses with the toaster, make coffee and that at least offers a moment of rest. Sort out the fuses, and C comes downstairs to tell me off. Nip to the shop for water for C and job’s a good ‘un. Slowly sort the roast after a sarnie for lunch.
Day one off after a hard week and I’m knackered. Up late, brekkie at the Tom and Gerry (Miner’s Benedict). Then away to the Chemist’s to fetch the meds for the pair of us.
Sunday and I’m in… at least there is Pizza. Phone the boy and Mum as usual, watch the Throw Down and Call the Midwife. More importantly home to meal cooked by C including dumplings. Love ’em!
A slightly better day, copped out of the cycle to work. Was too shattered this morning.
