Glimmer 4First day off and Glimmer 4.  Chase up to to the laundrette and sit there for a while reading, listening to tunes and generally chilling.  Back home, nip out for a bit to get some shopping and a subway.  Grab a bit of a kip and then meet C off the bus.  Nip to the lickers and wait on the bonus slip fury.  Mine is positive so that’s cool.  Geoff comes in we buy him a drink.  Nip to the bank for C.  Home and a quick curry for R, S and myself and a chicken salad for herself.
