Glimmer 19

April 19 Glimmer 19

Glimmer 19Glimmer 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.

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.

Playful

28th March Playful

PlayfulA playful day off. First up a wee lie in, then a trip to Wigan to fetch the bike and pop the council tax dosh into the bank.  Clearly the Nationwide has only recently reopened because I score a free tote bag.  Turns out useful because I’ve not dressed for the cycle and it goes onto the back rack with the lock in it.  Prior to that though breakfast at the Station Cafe.

Train back to Bryn, visit the quacks to fetch a bloods form and pots for C to piss in.  Back to the house and play with a playful Elsie.

C arrives home, we both have a shower and it’s best bib and tucker for Joe and Margaret’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary up at Aspull British Legion.  Bee App gives us the route.  C not happy at the walk to the Legion.  Celebration is fun and good to catch up with folk.

A Moment of Rest

23rd March A Moment of Rest

A Moment of RestC still crook, had a rough nights sleep, get up manage to trip the fuses with the toaster, make coffee and that at least offers a moment of rest.  Sort out the fuses, and C comes downstairs to tell me off.  Nip to the shop for water for C and job’s a good ‘un.  Slowly sort the roast after a sarnie for lunch.

Roast was appalling.
