Mind Control… or lack of…
What my mind is conjuring, and weirdly producing,
Has a new idiosyncratic strain that needs introducing…
A previously unknown worrying sense of doom-accepting?
You know, a sort of go with the flow, with no coercing,
This new deliberation of mental compliance is almost piercing!
It’s still a new thing, so I’m not going to start whingeing…
No moaning, cursing, complaining or penancing…
But, the control of my thoughts is indeed decreasing!
Kentucky Dream…
A dream only last night, I was in a house, tippytoeing…
Floating, searching, smiling, and happily singing!
It was where my cyber-friends Lisa & Billum were living…
Although they couldn’t hear me, to them, I started chatting…
I was aware this could just not be happening…
I cooked them a chilli stew and started the garnishing…
Left them a note with the meal, and started going…
Outside I was suddenly solid again and segueing…
Along a pathway… the dream started subsiding,
I found myself in my wet room… wee-weeing!
The justice system, I can’t help renouncing…
Criminals, murders freed early, to rob and kill again!
No thoughts of family members or victims; disgusting!
No realisation that they have given anguish and pain…
Pathetic parole board, free killers again, mind shuddering!
Is it the judges, parole board or murderers that are insane?
True Love Lost…
In 1964, I visited Grizelda, hoping she was in the mood for servicing,
She was very good to me, in fact, she was astounding!
For hours we were in heaven, sweating, exhilarating!
For the next session, I was already praying and waiting…
Then shattering news! Grizelda was departing…
But she gave me one last amazing trouncing…
Thus, the end of our fantastic romancing…
Gawd, how I loved our coupling and connecting!
She went home to München… bloody sickening!
One day I might find an affaire du Coeur again?
Confusions…
I ordered two-blade razors for shaving,
I used Morrisons. What should I have been expecting?
I got 5-blade razors for my shaving…
So, did my teeth, de-nasaling and washing…
Started shaving, I found it challenging…
The results were a smidge discouraging,
I’d already got bleeding molars from teeth-brushing,
The razor? I cut my finger on the plastic sheathing,
A tiny cut near the ear hole. Didn’t half sting…
Applying the aftershave to stop the bleeding,
Shuddering Shoulder Shirley started twitching…
Blood in the chest, floor and clothing…
As the Brute, I kept on sploshing…
I dropped the bottle on my foot; I was seething!
Farting about, I was very self-scathing…
But heroically carried on with my bathing!
Then walked into the doorframe, leaving…

Advice Received this Week
The Ophthalmologist: Take this leaflet and read it. The print was too small to read it!
The Ophthalmologist: Remember to phone the Doctor in two weeks to ensure that the Cataract operations application papers have gone through and the process started. No mention of what to do if they hadn’t – And does she really expect me to remember to do this?
Carer: (On me losing the TV remote control, I’ve never found it) You should put it in the same place every time! Well, I actually do try to, so good advice. It’s not clear cut, but falling asleep with the regular nocturnal somnambulant activity almost every night. I often find I wake and turn on the TV, get the crossword book, or, judging by the crumbs found in the folds of my stomach fat, indulge in nocturnal nibbling. But only discover this in the morning after waking. At first, I blamed the mysteries of Winwood Heights, the ghosts, wraiths, spectres, cacodemons, apparitions, and other grotesqueries haunting the hallways and lobbies searching for Inchcock. To create ambiguities, abstrucities, perplexities, misfortunes and botherations, scare, worry and confuse me! Sometimes, the furniture has been moved too. Shame! So, as sound as the advice was, it wasn’t practical for Vascular Dementia Doreen or me.
Carers – Warden Dean & the Nottingham City Council Commercial Debt and Revenue Recovery lady, and Bank Clerk: (Re the hundreds of pounds 3 months unpaid carer Bills to Meridian). “Don’t worry!”?
Dentist: (On being asked for the umpteenth time to take all my remaining teeth out) “I might be able to save the top front one…” After three have fallen out, the two previous ones she could save having been filled twice, then pulled. My confidence is low!
LookAfterYourEyes.org: The operation usually takes from 15 to 45 minutes. It is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you will be awake but not have any sensation in the area around your eye. Throughout surgery, you will hear the ophthalmologist explaining what they are doing, and you may see some vague movements around your eye. The ophthalmologist will make a tiny cut in your eye to remove the cataract and insert a plastic replacement lens. You will not usually need stitches, but your eyes will be covered to protect it from knocks after the operation.
You will be allowed to go home the same day, but you should have someone to go with you and look after you for 24 hours after surgery. Who?
If this means a Meridian carer, it would cost me a minimum of £440 for the 24 hours! Arghhh!
Just how does one go about declaring bankruptcy? Is it easy?
Part of the Inchies Make Them Laugh In Odes Series
We were talking friendly words about yer, Sir. I were asking the lady of the manor if Lord Inchy would be able to send Sweet Morpheus for a gentle and soothing night. ’tis most likely that this explains your dream about traipsing in this decreed stately pleasure-dome. The midnight hour found us watching one of our baking shows, so far we have watched all the programs from the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Looks like we should decree at stately baking show right here in the manor.
Hoping that the eye findeth much improvement and betterer vision. Enjoyed that list of recommendations from LookAfterYerEyes.org, dentist, and carers.
Good memories of the incomparable Grizelda too.
Please know that the door is always opened (or closed but not locked), depending on the weather of winter and the ashes of Tonga.
Speaking of winter, we are now into the second half of the first month of 2020 too.
A’morning fine Sire & HRH, Alan and the furries. I do hope rest arrives for Her Royal Highness.
I seeth the linkum now you spotted it. Well observed, Billum.
I can see it now… “New Series of Baking At Home Challenge” Coming! Cheesy potatoes from England, but what from ‘tother lands? Hehe!
The beautiful Carer Julie came last nigh, and said Meridian Care can supply 24 hour cover, I think she missed the point of the cost somewhere. However, re the never yet sorted and sent booklets: She will speaketh with Nicola (that might be her wrong name) and if she is unable to get the things for me (4 weeks now), Julie said she will sort them for me, bless her cotton socks!
Time flies.
The eyes are slowly getting worse, shaving this morning was a nightmare, and typing and computing is taking longer. But I must not moan, just hope the procedures can be done on both eyes at the same time. Then the glaucoma and Saccases tended to. No idea what they can do about those two. I anticipate the Catracts might be done by 2023… but you never know. Hehehe!
Keepeth well, and forgive my waffling.
These were also some quite tasty waffles. Yer can dab a bit of butter in the small square…or not.
Shaving ought not to be a nightmare,
Getting both eyes treated at the same time is psychologically much more appealing, if appealing is the right word for suchlike. Just to take a blind stab at the internet machine, I arrived at this. It’s better than a sharp in the eye:

I do hope they will do them both at the same time Billumski.
This morning, no carer called? Usually here twixt 7>8 am hrs, now gone 0900… Hmm!
Shaving: Can’t get at it Billum – have to sign-in.
Bit, if it written with someone who can’t see very well, and has Peripheral Neuropathy shakes… I’m sorry I missed it. Hehe!
