Glimmer 26

April 26 Glimmer 26

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.

What Inspires Me

What Inspires Me

What Inspires MeSunday and off to work on the Sunday service.  Early start but that gave me a chance to mooch around in search of a photo. Luckily Wigan never fails to provide something and after several possible candidates I arrive at this.  Some sort of hen party had discarded it going on the proximity of the Brides Gang piece of rubbish.

Grab a coffee and packet of Wotsits from John Menzies, wander in and no surprises I’m first in. Get my shit out of the locker and set up for the day.  Not  a great day work wise but not a totally shite day.  Got to catch up with a bit of writing which was positive.  Finally got to meet Meg who’s been off ill.  Seems pleasant enough.

Back home via superior bus and in the door and I’m fed by Carol with stew and dumplings, delish.  Phone home.  Shoot the breeze with the folks.  Catch up with the blogging and write some shit.

Discover a change in the shift pattern, early’s next week to be followed by lates.  It’s no bad thing delaying the lates given that C returns to work tomorrow.  Need to nip in early so I can visit Asda, C needs more hot chocolate.

Arrived a t’mill and was first in, sorted my shit and chilled.  Not a great day tbh, 1-2-1 with Jess pm.  It was ok.

Home to tea and Carry On movies.  Could be worse.  Now off till Sunday next week and can chill for a bit.

Still feeling a bit down.
