Not much passed overnight.
First things: Escaped the £300, second-hand, c1968, cringingly-beige-coloured, not-working, rickety recliner. Balance exercises, then…
This sad photo was taken from the kitchenette window. Supposedly, a close-up of Cavendish Avenue.
Then, I tried to get a decent view of the horizon
Consistent!
Had a mug of J.S. red label Ex-Strong tea
arrived. No socks or strappings were needed, as I intended to get a shower later.
But this didn’t happen. Humph!
I asked the lad if he could help me with assembling of the table. Negative response. But I still gave him his treats, as usual. Bless him!
Bit of a change here…
Catching up with the blog for Friday. For about three hours of error-ridden writing.
Visit four: Another variation on an old theme.
Another attempt at a decent photo as it got lighter.
I nearly got caught out when the day punch suddenly filled up again. A little dark, still, too.
Hours later, I nipped out on the balcony to view the end car par mudslide. Shrinking back again. It might be gone soon if we do not get any more rain, perhaps?
Called. We had a little natter and treat sharing. No painkillers are needed.
Then, I decided to make an early meal.
Surimi sticks, tomatoes, beetroot, chips, cobs, with a side of Chop sauce. Not bad at all.
Slurped!
Ice cream followed.
I was drained, and I put the computer in ‘sleep mode’ and fell blissfully asleep… for five minutes or so.
Tormenting, teasing dreams that even I could barely understand flowed for a couple of hours or more. Constantly bursting awake… Yet seemed to go back to sleep immediately? It was as if I wanted, needed, I had to, involuntarily, get back to the nightmares. Oddest few hours mentally than I’ve had for weeks! I’m certain that I was talking to myself all the way through!
The need for yet another visit to the Throne was welcomed. Bad as it was, it broke my determination to try to get back to the mental turmoil of sleep.
How messy… but welcome?
Late sunset photos were taken.
Lovely shade on view.
Tried a little closer.
Then, to the left slightly.
Carer arrived; I was out of reality; I could not even remember who called. I found a set of Health Check figures in the morning, so I must have taken his B.P. I think it may have been Victor or Israel?
I’ll publish the latest in the morning.
Hunger Again – I’m eating far too much lately!
Frustration? – Depression? – FND?
Naughty!
CHEERS!
No help with table assembly? Sad. Excellent night shots and sunsets. Good looking food for a bit of overindulgence.
I think that mayhap I’m not popular with the carers after all, mate. My laundry was never found or returned. No apologies or compensation. No help clearing the room for the bed. Now, no help with the table. I’d sulk, but it would only make them happier. Har-Har!
Keep safe all!
Re the halloween comment – years ago in Perth (the capital city of our state – Western Australia) the Salvation Army had one of its nursing homes directly opposite the main cemetery – we used to joke it would save us time and effort if we booked in there 🙂
Hahaha! Did they offer discounts, too, Paul?
The NHS sent me a free DNR wristband as well! No one else in the flats have had one as far as I know. Hehe!
My Sister lived in Perth for many years, that is amazing coincident-wise.
That is. I take she moved by the tense – marriage of work? No our Medicare doesn’t offer anything like that. We also have private cover as well for those who feel the need for it. What gets me is that private health is expensive but they offer all sorts of deals and vouchers I’d rather they discount the premiums 🙂
NHS Certainly not working here, Paul. Sadly. They seem unaware of FND here?
I’m not.
Cheers!
They’re only just starting to recognise it here.
As my Aunt Polly used to say, Paul: (Roughly) “They can only do what they they are allowed to do – even if it’s not right!” Hehe!
Sadly that is the operating rationale. I was only following orders is the other one.
Ah, Hermann Goering as well!
H I darling! Are you finally going to get into your bedroom? Do they have an adjustable bed to help you out? I don’t know how the health insurance works where you live and if some lunatic MAGA Republicans had their way here all elderly would lose social security and health care as well as disabled people. It’s scary!! When are you able to see a counselor?? I think that is a good move! I need to do so as well, but instead, I’m just going to do my weekly shopping online for groceries! Love you my darling
