In My HandIn my hand, a post work pint, keeping the spirit of Nick Lamb alive!  So a weird day, yesterday we get told that we’re due in at 11, this morning a panicky message at 9.00 that we need to be like yesterday.  On the plus side the day went well, a couple of HBB and good conversion.

On the tableWell that was an interesting morning, herself goes off on one, I escape to the shop via a coffee which provided me with the shot on the table.  Fail to find the required pasta.  This is not greeted well.  Get on the bike to test my fix (didn’t make much difference, chain still unshipping in any gear other than fifth!).  Go to Aldi.  Still no lasagne.

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.

Glimmer 26A 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.
