5th January – A Quiet Moment

Yay a HE.  Felt good, job was a good ‘un and a phone sale out of it too which I’ve not coded.  Brief dusting of snow, the weather is best described as brass monkey’s.  Driving continues to be OK, getting a wee bit more confident.  Home via Aldi to pick up bread products.

Am back on the sertraline full time right now, struggling a bit mentally right now.  Feel a bit more level as a result.

Other than that it’s a quiz night on TV.  Just chill with herself.

Review #5 – The Mike Bell Cartel – The Cartel and I

Fuzzy psych, with organ accents.  Bits remind me of 13th Floor Elevators and any number of Texas Punk bands of the 60’s. or maybe The Electric Prunes are a better comparison.  Think it’s the vocals that are vaguely Ericksonesque.  Some nice Byrdsy 12 string too.  Well worth a listen and fab to drive to.

Snack

5th May – Snack

SnackTrip to the ‘pool today.  Start of with a Snack, sausage sarnie.  Then on to The Walker Art Gallery.  Bit of nice Paul Nash, bit of Johnny Vegas.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  They’re advertising a Holly Johnson exhibition down at The Museum of Liverpool Life.

C not happy on the walk, so we hit The White Star for a beer.  Gives C a chance to rest up.  She walks the rest of the way.  Exhibition is interesting but a bit light.

Scran at a Weatherspoons and then home.

Glimmer 5

5th April Glimmer 5

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.

Solo

SoloBeen a bit of a bizarre day tbh.  Up and out early, off to Wigan to capture some images.  Still playing catch up with this place. New Long Ryder’s album on the way in.  Vaguely thought a coffee might be welcome but cancelled out on the idea, got into work to no chair, Liam next to me had used it, grabbed it back, no headphones, he’d had those too I later dicovered.  Have been allocated a locker which is useful because I’ll stash my stuff when we go away to keep thieving mitts off!

Home and a nip to the shop and then a quick meatballs and beetroot pasta produced.  Was ok.  Pasta was a bit watery.

Still suffering from anxiety and not feeling great.  Think it’s change and getting used to things.
