Old, sick, weary, but harmless. I need to make others smile!

That was until midday through Friday night. When Carer Maryham ♥ woke me around 06:00hrs. I’d been in agony with my right arm all night, and sleep was impossible when the joined in. A belated payment in pain, dizziness and the eye’s vision were blurred again. Maryham was kind to me, got the socks on, their nocturnal pouch off, and gave me the medications; bless Her. Friday, doing this catch-up on the blog was hard work. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Good colour urine today!
Carer Christopher called. With his help, I got myself ready by putting on trousers, socks, and shoes. Then, I went down to vote in the local elections.
Set on the long walk down Winchester Street Hill. Noticing a lot of dog-phoo en route.
This was the only short stretch of pavement that wasn’t cracked and broken. Struggled with the trolley a bit.
The first closed-down businesses are on the corner at the junction of Mansfield Road. On my way to the Continental store, I passed another closed shop. Years ago, it was a Tesco, then a Fine Fare, and then a Trustees Bank. It is up for rent now.
Hobbled up to the chemist. I’d got the timing wrong! Fancy that! The appointment was for 10:15hrs, but I arrived at 09:10hrs. The pharmacist was unhappy with me, but he fit me in anyway. I swear he smiled as he rubbed the medication on my arm after the injection. All done, I started the hobble back down to Winchester Street Hill, noting more closed shops.
Japanese restaurant.
This wasn’t closed; she opened it later.
Closed.
Closed.
Closed
Closed.
Vandalised.
Greengrocers as was…
Bottom of the Hill.
The long trek up the Hill.
En route, I counted the dog droppings, 28.
When I returned to the flats, I had a natter with some residents at the bus stop. Jenny, Frank, and Roger, I think. I really enjoyed this.
The rest of the day was a haze.

Here people have become lazy cleaning up after their dogs, it’s a disgrace. Now – I don’t mind graffiti – it’s tagging I don’t like – but graffiti is a form of art, that one is quite good too 🙂
I thought that about the closed shop shutters – Try to say that when you’ve had a few! Hehehe!
I’ve just looked it up on Google for Nottingham: “It is illegal to not pick up dog mess from any public place or footpath that is left by your dog or a dog you are looking after. We can issue fines of £80 to anyone seen not clearing up after their dog. If you are prosecuted in court, you could receive a maximum fine of £1,000” Is that per turd of for all othe 28 on Winchester Street, I wondered? Haha!
Feeling better today, the after effects of the Covid jab wearing off, now.
Cheers, Sir.
Glad to hear you’re on the mend. So, per turd that could be £4,000 which means the political parties are at risk, so many turds lying around at parliament house 🙂
Thank you Sir.
Loved the HMG quote, made me smile proper good. True, too!
Great you got out and about. Sad the state of the streets with closed shops and dog crap.
Dang painful Sir, but I still enjoyed the freedom. Buggered me up, but still. Hehehe!
Things are going downhill over here, Tim.
