Thursday 1st October 2015
Woke around 0400hrs – Found some notes I must have written on me pad on the side of the chair where I fell asleep last night. Hard to read though.
WC’d, put the kettle on then made a cuppa and took me medications. used old camera to take photo of me brekkers.
Can’t remember details of the dreams now, so I’ll just copy the notes here: Boats, canal, France/French people… Ferry, sea, End of the world, tried to get licence to shoot politicians, Osborne, medal/award… shot myself with nail-gun and missed, hit a Ford Prefect car? There were some words I could not make out at all.
Back to the WC.
Caught sight of the bedroom… oh dear,
Laptop on to start this diary off.
Got me laundry bag and added a few bits, coins, soap powder and down to the laundry room to start me washing off.
Three others arrived to do their ashing or drying.
Had a chin-wag with a bloke tenant I’d not had a chance to talk to before.
Put me washing in the drier, making room for the bloke to get his laundry in the washer.
Returned to the flat and the WC porcelain was utilised yet again.
Updated this diary to here.
While waiting for the drier to finish, I decided I’d get out to the Forest today and try to take some photographs of Goose Fair. This photo is of the 2005 Opening of Goose Fair.
Brought the washing back up and WC’d again.
Put me togs in the airing cupboard and made a cuppa.
Not a good picture, nothing special… but it was to me, seeing the two dogs tails wagging away cheered me up.
Got me rubbish bags ready to drop down the chute after 0800hrs.
Did some Facebooking.
Made a start on the October horoscope forecasts.
Readied missen for me trip to town and the Goose Fair. Caught the bus to Sherwood. Nice Chin-wag on the way with some tenant ladies.
Then caught a bus into town.
The Pavement Cyclist in this picture on the right was weaving in between pedestrians swiftly and closely. The scum-bag!
Caught the tram to the Fair – talk about
They all spewed out at the Goose Fair though, me along with them.
A tram was going the other way. I photographed it with the mini-helter skelter in the background.
Some of the stalls and rides were open already.
Hah!
The traditional Waltzer was still being erected.
The Ghost train looked well designed on the outside I have must say.
Very atmospherically presented.
It wasn’t finished being erected either.
I noticed a small stand at the side of it
As I plodded around I saw some of the Nottingham dignitaries in their chains of office lurking waiting amongst the Newspaper and TV people for the arrival of the Lord Mayor.
I did notice the huge amount of food stalls this year, already giving off attractive smells to tempt folks to spend their dosh.
Is that legal nowadays?
White slave traders perhaps?
And in amongst the sauces they had some beetroot pickle too!
Just wondered if they were made up or real team names.
I’d heard of a couple of them like.
The first one Advertised on the boarding:
The second one advertised: ‘Daughter of Gypsy Roas Lee. Open.
Tickled me a bit seeing them their together.
I assume that mother Gypsy Rosa Lee
Hehehe!
Caught the tram into Bulwell and walked over the bridge into the market place stopping to take a photo of the wonderful Mallard ducks as I crossed over the bridge over the river Leen into Bulwell Main Street.
As I crossed over the Market Place, no stalls on today, I pondered on how dejected the place and people looked?
Even they looked depressed! Huh!
And many of them had club-claws?
I nipped into Fultons Foods to see if they owt on offer hat might appeal – but I came out empty handed. Then I popped into Iceland to get some bread thins. Then into Heron Foods – where I got some battered fish cakes and fingers, along with some potato cakes at 600g for 79p.
Made me way back to the bus station and caught a bus with the intention of getting off at Hayden Road and walking through to catch a bus to Sherwood – however… best laid plans and all that… I fell asleep and woke up as we were
Got off near the abandoned and apparently unsellable old Guild Hall Courts building – that was next to the new E-on building that cost many millions to build. No wonder the Franch owned company charge so much for their electricity.
I walked to Queen Street and caught a 40 bus.
They didn’t seem to happy mind when I got me camera trained of them through the bus widow though – Oh dear…
Dropped off on Winchester street and walked to the flats. Luckily I woke up just before the stop came up.
I must ask the GP about all this falling asleep on the buses!
Remembered me ‘Mind Test appointment tomorrow at noon.
As I was going up the lift at the flat, the one lift left working at the flats – I realised I’d not been to the GUM clinic – Whoopsieddangleplop day again then!
Tsk!
Just made it to the porcelain in time.
Put me food in the freezer and made a cuppa.
Laptop on and updated this diary, checked me emails and did some more work on me Horoscope post.
Wonderful! Rated this one 9.05/10!
Nodded off in the chair again, no bath, no shave, no nibbles, no rest, just kept on waking and nodding off again until 0700hrs, when I got up to go to the porcelain…
if you’re reading this comment right now, inchy – it means you’ve forgotten to go for your memory test 😆
Memory test . . ?
What memory test ?
Insisted upon by the GP mate. Mind you, I got the wrong day, they told me was for next Friday not this – Huh! Cheers.
Spot on mate. I’ve just got back now. Guess what? You never will so I’ll tell yers… I got there and the appointment was for next Friday not this! Wot a plonka!
Went to Derby today to see if I could find any tattie-scones, but no.
Hope yers well? TTFN
Hmmm, I was going to say something here, but I forgot what it was. Did I already comment here? I forget if I remember that or not. Take care of you luv.
You take care gal, I hope you are not trying to do too much are you pet? Nice and steady and when your feeling brighter. No comments yet Angie, but fret not – when you remember gal. TTFN. XXX
Stick a fork in me luv, I’m done! Just a few things to go thru, but they can be done during the long cold winter, while I’m just sitting back telling myself I’m not really bored. I’m going to start another new blog eventually, laying it out now, if I can remember where it is and what I named it. Did it on my Nook, so I can blog from my nest instead of getting up and coming in here when I’m not feeling well enough to move, so it will take me longer to make it happen. Might take a week to actually stick those tiny letters in that mini keyboard, but life is an adventure. Hmm, that could be my theme. Just making notes right now, so I can set it all up later.
Take care of you luv.
