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.

Lines

31st March Lines

LinesLines…. it’s a brick. First of the lates and the usual greeting with Liberty of 3 more days!  Bit of a slow start, the hardest HBB supported by Ash.  Generally other than value think it was an alright day but a cheeky add line may have saved me.  A few mobile lines help too.

Still feeling a bit shit but I will survive!  Struggle to get up this morning.  Am late in, Lib is worried!  In the evening I struggle to eat tea, just not in the mood for it.

Way home and another pint of the Naughty Hooker and a wee nip of Black Bush.  It’s not often I have a whiskey but have been chatting with a fella in Crumlin and feel like one tonight.

My View - a photo of grass and dew from a day off.

24th March My View

My View - a photo of grass and dew from a day off.Day off.  Day starts with me taking the piss… literally to the GPs. Whereupon NHS IT strikes, they have to hand write the sample form because the printer is dead.  On the way up a couple of photos.  Need to look at them to see if they are prompt suitable. Jump a bus back home.

Herself off work, still recovering from Asthma attack. Take a wee dander to get a photo for tomorrow in the afternoon.

Pump up the tyres and sort rear reflector on the bike.  Usual day off preparation for first early of the week.

In other news there is some movement on the Roots allotment situation.  They’ve announced it will be 16 minutes away from Ashton… presumably by car, ‘cos perish the thought you wouldn’t have a car.  As long as it’s reasonable cycle ride, I’m in!  Looks like a £40 upfront then for a baby patch about a tenner a month.  Not looking for anything huge, it’s not like I have a clue what I’m doing!  As much as anything it’s a healthy thing to do on a day off for the old mental health.
