A moment of joy well that’s a good prompt when the depression kicks in. Sunday in and it’s a chilled day bit I’m feeling shit. Swift pint of Mowtown post shift.

Trip 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 30 and it’s a first outing for the final press thing. Works well coffee is delish. Day seems OK but gets a bit chaotic at the end. Call queue seems to go to pot.

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 19 and time to try cooking something nice from the Kidney Friendly recipes. Scones made with diet lemonade. Bit dubious until we eat ’em and they’re great.
Tonight we celebrate our anniversary and my birthday at Il Sappore. Unfortunately I’m not feeling great and end up hurling. Whole thing is a bit of a fiasco. I owe C a nice meal.
