Africaans: Donderdag 4 Julie 2019
So, I made up the post from the few distant memories I could recall, (not many) a few notes I had made, and the recall-prompting photo’s I’d taken. The dancing fingers, hand, arm and shoulder, may win today. If anything happens like this again, I’ll give up. It’s too soul destroying!
I finished the post update (Eventually, despite and in defiance of the problems I was having) and got it sent off to WordPress. It took me as much time making corrections as original typing, though. Most Aggranoyying!
I got the kettle on, and sat down with the sock-glide, and realised I’d not had done the ablutionising session yet. (I pick up things sometimes, belated, mind) I was going to get up
It looked like a burn mark maybe, but that is not the case? Unless I had been doing some unknown nocturnal gadding about? I’m pretty sure I had not, but who knows with me, nowadays? Hehe! So I took a photographicalisation of it. It’ll look different tonight or in the morning again. Ever-changing!
The shadow of the rising sun from behind was caught reasonably well in the first snap I took. The second one, I tried to get the balconies of the other fine folk’s flats in the frame, as well as the distant view.
One about a two-course lunch, Liver & Onion, pudding & custard, £3, Friday 12th July.
The next one, Shopping Trips, one for Leeds – £20 a seat. Another for Grantham, Friday 19th July, £13 a ride.
Then one: Making Music Together, if you play a musical instrument, come along share your music! IIth July 13:00hrs. To be confirmed 8th August & 12 Sept, location to be confirmed.
And a leaflet with details of a helpline for the old & lonely. 24-hour contact number and some features of it.
The old heating cupboard and storage area is to be emptied and made easily accessible, and all items removed from this area. Huh! Have you seen it and the stuff crammed into it?
Made the tea and back to the computer and created a couple of graphics for the Inchcock Today page tops and Thoughts theme.Three wee-wees, all now if the SSPWW (Short-Sharp-Painful-Wee-wee) variety.
Time to get the ablutions tended to. Then I can catch the 10:30hr L9 bus to Arnold. Oh, I’d better check the Googe calendar first to see if any appointments are down for today… No, all clear. I’ll call in to get some hearing aid batteries at the Arnold Health Centre.
I took three black and a recycling bag out with me to the chute, on the out.
We were joined at the last moment by a few other tenants from both flats.
It was a fine morning, the only thing that unsettled me a bit, was with me having the troller with me, I had to sit on the side-saddle seats. An uncomfortable and even painful experience, especially with the driver being heavy on the breaks. I offered my cheerios to each of the others who the others got off in Sherwood, one even acknowledged me. Haha!
I found myself to be the only passenger on board after Sherwood. Plenty got on en route mind you.
Once I dropped off in Arnold, it looked and or, reminded me of Skegness or Mablethorpe, in the sunshine and with people wandering aimlessly about. Hehe!
I poddled slowly around, calling in endless shops. Wilko, to get the liquid soapflakes. Chambers meats, but the roast belly pork looked very fatty, so I didn’t invest.
Then to the Boyes store, where I got Dettol, citrus Zoflora, drain unblocker, can opener and some Bamboo socks!
Next to the Saher shop: Deo fab, air spray, olive oil and Colgate foaming toothpaste.
I called in Iceland then and got some Southern Fried chips (fries). Never tried these, they look like they might be tasty.
Finally, to Asda. I came out of there with far too much stuff, and had the devil of a job getting them in the trolley and shoulder bag, and had to buy another bag! I came out of Asda with Cheesy Curls (2 packs of six bags), fresh pod peas, DVDs and a Bag for Life!
Caught the L9 front High Street, and was soon home. No Winwood residents got on the bus en route. I dropped off, thanked the driver and made my way to Woodthorpe Court at the far end of Chestnut Way.
Dearie me, good gracious me, and Pshaw! Worra Mess! I wonder who contracted the firm that made such a hodgepodge job of the new lawn? Nottingham City Homes, or Most likely Willmott Dixon?
Aldi’s Sopocka Slices and tomato sandwiches, gherkins, beetroots, garden peas and the new Southern Fried chips (fries). Which tasted smashing! Garlic in the seasoning I think. The Limoncello dessert was naughty but nice!
A Flavour Rating of 8.8/10! Got the evening medications were taken, a bottle of spring water with orange cordial added from the fridge, and settled down in the exasperating, c1968, Grotty-beige coloured, second-hand recliner to watch a Rumpole of the Bailey episode off of DVD. Fell asleep during the second set of advertisements. Fancy that!
Woke an hour later, had to have a wee-wee, this time of the LHBLWWs (Long Hosepipe-Blasting like Wee-wee) variety. Made myself jump! Hahaha!
Back in the recliner, and decided to watch TV… Fell asleep again!
Major cyber whoopsie’s are worth a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth, as hours of work can be gone in an instance. It looks to me as though a Chupacabra gave your ankle a hickey. It could have been short of old goats to suck, and chose your ankle as an alternative. That sod looks like it’s in dire need of water. Good set of street photos. No psychopathic pavement cyclists? Nice Dagwood sandwich with those fries a sides.
Hi. Tim, hope things are okay your end.
Chupacabra, the Spanish goat? (I looked it up) is that the one that had me! Haha!
They were there Sir, the trick-cyclists late on in the day. But with all the bags and the trolley, I tried to photo a couple, but gave up. Dropped the two bags, let the trolley run off on its own, so I gave up! Tsk! I’d nt put that in the diary either. Tsk!
TTFNski!
You need a camera attachment on your trolley to make it easier to catch the action.
I think the trolley will need replacing soon, Tim. The leather lid has cone unstitched, the wheels are warping and the brakes are all but US… Humph! Tsk! Hehe!
Brought to mind FibberMagee’s hall closet, a classic American recurring gag… Hope this video plays in the UK! (If not, every time he opens the closet everything falls out.)

Ah, I relate and understand that, Doug! Hehe!
