As my Dad would say, ‘A reet good colour is that lad!’

The early morning sky was grand, too!

Waste bags into one.

And got the kettle on and made a brew.

But had to leave it to get cold again…

Sloppy as the evacuation was, it took ages!

The rain came.
The wind, too, but not for long.

I put the new quilt-throw on the Carer’s chair.

Made another brew of Glengettie.

Then, I spent hours on new words to use for the blog.

During which I didn’t get far.

came. We had a natter while he did a good job fitting the legs and ankle support straps.
Medications given. And he changed the Catheter Day bag for me. Grand job!

Got yesterday’s blog updated and posted off.

Next. Domestic duties. He mopped the wet room floor for me. Had a chinwag.

Next, by gum, she helped me out some today. I keep asking her to adopt me as Grandad, but no. Hehe!
The gal phoned the Audio Centre for me first. I’ve got one of the appointments on Tuesday the 21st November, at 0935hrs. That’s the one to de-clog my ears of wax. She mentioned I must keep using olive oil, which I do several times daily. Then, they will arrange another appointment for the hearing tests. Then, if any adjustments are needed to the aids (and there will be), another appointment to have them done will be arranged.
I’m hoping I live long enough. Har-Har!
She then arranged for a lift for me with Easy-Llink.
Such an angel is Kara. She even put the details onto the computer diary for me. ♥

The sun through the clouds was beautiful.
I sensed some rain was due, though. We’ll see.

Here’s the animals!

Prepped the meal of the day.
Got two sourdough rolls from the freezer to thaw out.
Got the potato chunks in the oven tray.
Sprayed the potatoes with light oil.
Got them in the oven.

Made up another waste bag.

Delivery arrived from eBay.
Dettol Lavender disinfectant.
I thought I was buying 6 bottles; the box looked like it was made for six?

Evening views from the kitchen window.
No signs of any rain yet.

Got the meal served up and started to eat it.
Just started and arrived.
He took off the leg and ankle straps. Left the diabetic socks on as I requested him to do… it was feeling cold tonight! Brrr! I did his Health Checks, all fine!

When I got settled in the c1966, £300 Oxfam charity shop bought, second-hand, wincingly grotty, beige coloured, crumb-covered from my nocturnal nibblings, itch-making, uncomfortable, positively unhealthy & dangerous, no longer operational, virus-breeding, easy-to-fall-out-of, Catheter-tube-trapping, recliner.
It took me ages to get to sleep, but for once, there were no hassles from . I was just coughing a lot, and sharp pains from .

TTFNski, everyone!

    • I only got six, Tim, then checked the chart, Humph!
      Pleased the ode went down well, mate.
      I nearly finish the nosh, but it went cold when Carer Benjamin arrived to de-wrap the ankles & leg straps. Cheers.
