Glimmer 22, the lesser spotted phone box with phone. Day starts early with a wander to Wigan, grab coffee, lunch and then into work for the first day of a series of shifts. Grab a tough HBB and it’s a start. Day is OK.

Glimmer 15 the day I reach fucking 57 and then do a late. Luckily no one susses at work. Day is generally ok and flies by.

Tuesday and it’s the second late of the set. The bugger of it is that the motorway has snarled up as I go in so I end up on a late bus and jumping a train. Still gives me a chance to find Glimmer 1. And lo when I arrive at the station the ticket wombles are in evidence. Marched to the ticket office to pay for a ticket them having accepted bugger all options at Bryn. Day goes OK. Still not feeling great. Somehow it’s Tuesday and we have two days left after today. HBB again and the day is OK but not great. Team on the other hand is great, a supportive bunch. Lates are truly a pain in the arse, can’t sort out stuff early and get to work on time, get to work late and finish late. Get home, feed people sleep.
Cycle in today, nice wee ride in the rain, the glasses definitely need the addition of windscreen wipers. Quick change of plan to go to the top of the Mill to take this. Escherisc view of the stairs from above.
Day starts slow, then improves and then slows down again. Dash back home to be back for C’s appointment at the hub. Hop on the bus and wait in the surgery. We get seen and then have a 20 minute wait for the next bus.
Tea from the Chippy, ’tis Steven’s birthday and he’s been for a curry with his Dad and Ryan. That’s cool. Meanwhile Elsie has been paddling in the sink bowl and has orange paws. Apparently she was indignant as Ryan used baby wipes to clean her paws.
Tuesday and a horrible day. Calls are awful. Still on the plus side a brew at Kawas.
Back into work today and value is shite but a cheeky £90 addline rescues things a tad. Feeling knackered. Day started well with an arsehole parked in front of the gate so I couldn’t get the bike out.
Day two of lates and a sneaky HBB. Value is shite. Absoulutely knackered.
Bus day.
Generally feeling like shit today. Don’t know what the fuck is up with me but bottom line is that I’m shattered. Struggle to focus and things aren’t great.
Another late, swift ale at the Swan & Railway on the way home. Delight at finding Doctor Morton’s Duck Baffler, seemed entirely appropriate.
Bit of a session on the new bonus scheme, people are getting a bit uptight about it. Had nothing from it yet but then my value hasn’t been wonderful. But believe we are getting there. Think one of the issues is that it is very difficult to calculate value beyond the basics.
Hmm back to work today, need to work on the whole value thing. News from Nathan is he’s expecting a wee girl. Day wasn’t too bad, some clangers but some good news too.
