Glimmer 5A 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.
