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.

An abundance Monday and I’m despatched to deliver the piss to the GPs. Hazel is due to suffer the final indignity, it only hurts if you get your fingers caught between the bricks. Brief shop in Aldi and then onto the laundrette. My cunning plan of coffee, music and book is interrupted by building work at the garage. Plan B from Planet 57 swings into action and it’s a sausage barm and coffee from the sandwich shop.

Back home and the plan is cook a lasagne for tomorrow, gammon and chips for tonight.

DetailLazy start to another day off, not up till 9.40’ish.  Wander into Wigan with C who is looking for shoes.  First port of call is the market where she deems the shoes too frumpy.  A brief coffee as I scarf the rest of my tabs.  Then into the Grand Arcade.  Shoezone (no wide fit), Clarks (too frumpy) fail to provide.  In desperation it’s Schuh and we find some Doc Marten’s she loves, Klarna makes them affordable.

Nip into The Raven in search of lunch, first time we’ve been in since it changed hands and was refurbed.  Unimpressed we don’t stay.  So we wander into Gallimore’s (later learn it is shutting down on Sunday) and have another of their superb steak baguettes.

Home and a cuppa before wandering off to Lidl.  Pint in the Lickers on the way back and bake scones and cook pancakes for tea.  Wash up and watch old films with herself.
