The out-of-it moments far outweighed the ins today, indubitably. Farcical memory-wise, and I had to cope with
nagging away at me, nearly all day long. Relief came only when a Carer arrived. Each time they departed, reliable old
restarted!
I got so far behind with the blog, it is Saturday morning, 09:445hrs, and I’m only just starting this blog.
I got distracted by the Health Unlocked site.
Far too often. On the
section of the site, there are many people at the end of their tether. I replied to some of their comments in the hope that what I wrote would help them, in some way, to cope with things a little easier. I know how they feel. And so many said their Doctors seem to fob them off. So many are on medications for the PN. Well, to reduce the pain from it anyway. But with my being on Warfarin and having bladder problems, any extra medication will be risky with the side effects. Then, of course, I had to view my other Hubs… FND, bladder & bowel, cataracts, Hard of Hearing, and others. This cost me several hours of not getting any blogging done. So the written descriptions are going to be short, if any, today.

Not much.

Blue hue again.
07:20hrs:
arrived.
She’s brought the laundry back up for me.
Medications were given, and then she doctored the bleeding wounds that were bleeding and got the
and diabetic socks fitted.
She did a good job too.
Sorting the laundry out, I had to put the towels, dressing gown and two shirts on the stand-up airer, to dry. They were still damp when I emptied them from the bag.
Getting lighter.
Spuds out to bake later.
Did the midday call. She helped me get the washing from the fairer into the cupboards, bless her. Checked the cooler and taps for me and took the waste bag as she left.
Then, I got distracted by the
commenting and reading. I was on it for hours and hours, addicted.

arrived, strewth, is it that time already? Chris changed the day pouch for me.
Doctored the legs after taking off the strappings & diabetic socks. They were bleeding again. But the District nurses have not called on me for weeks and weeks. They have their Junior Doctors on strike to cope with, so I do understand how busy they are.
Chris took a photo of segregated legs when he removed the strappings & socks for me. Hehe!
Not sure why I took two of these?
Rest assured, there will have been be a reason hidden within the convoluted, warped confines of my cerebrum, shielded from divulgence by
, and

Made a brew of Glengettie.
And dunked some Maryland cookies.
Sugar-free, of course! ![]()


Got the potatoes served up and eaten.


Seasalt & no-butter butter and ‘no bread’!
I think I ought to get a medal for this self-control… at least a mention in despatches!
Went to wash the things.
Took these sun-setting photos.
Bootifu!
Amazing…
A final closer effort.
Does anyone see the ghost or angel in these pictures? The spaceship? Ah, well, I did. Haha!
TTFNski
Requiring people be able to see to drive. What’s the world coming to? Beautiful photos and great looking taters.
Ayup, Tim. Apparently, in the East Midlands to date this year, the have caught 614 drivers without licences, and 855 without insurance. Drink Drivers 563, or 653, can’t find the paper now. Not one of them has been charged what they would have had to pay to get the vehicle insured according to the Nottingham Post. Humph! Did someone say crime didn’t pay, once?
Thanks mate. Got a few potatoes left, but them banning me eaten them, I may not put the photos on in case the nurse reads my blog. Hahaha!
Cheers.
Got the difference straight up. Perhaps not funny, but it did tickle my humour that laws were considered to test if drivers had good eyesight.
For some reason I didn’t spot the one on hand, Paul? Good job they took away my driving licence, Hahaha!
Most proletarians have not had their eyes tested, or got insurance or a licence to drive. Haha!
The whole driving issue – I’ll write about that some day, very political.
Now you put ketchup on my imagination! Hahaha!
Lol, well hope there’s plenty of it then 🙂
Oh, yes! Haha!
