The nocturnal catheter had not been put on. Silly I had forgotten to attach it! The day bag contents looked dark again. Later, Carer Ayu classed it as being a six on the NHS scale.
I gave up and had a wash, accompanied by escapades of smelly
I hobbled off to the kitchen to decide whether to make a mug of Glengettie tea. Arriving at decisions has not been easy for me lately. The brain goes off at a tandem. I consider the NHS two
I had a misleading idea that the rear-end wanted me to visit the
As you can see, it was a hopeless effort yet again. I wonder if there’s a chance of an explosion from within, with the ether being
Darned uncomfortable feeling.
I did my best. When I started, I had one solution for the crossword, but I had a lot more when I gave up on the motion moving anytime now.
Will I implode instead?
I made another brew of my beloved Glengettie tea.
Nice and strong!
Pressed on with this blog. With staying up so late yesterday, I’d got some done ready.
When I emptied it into the measuring jug, it showed 840ml! In an hour. I wish the community nurses would allow me to try peeing
Ah, genuine rumbling from my innards this
Plenty of pain, though.
When Carer Precious arrived, I just had one Paracetamol because I’d just taken a few sprays of the toothache painkiller and didn’t want to mix the different types.
I made a start on tomorrow’s ode.

MEAL OF THE WEEK TODAY
At the point of perfection!
Delicious Beef in black bean sauce. Onions, leeks, and peppers are yellow and green. Liquid smoke was added to the extra-strong gravy. Basil, sea salt, oregano, beetroot juice, black pepper and spirit vinegar!
Carer Richard arrived as I nodded off in the poorly-aged, grotty-looking c1966 made, charity-shop-bought, horribly beige-coloured, £300, Harold’s Haemorrhoid-testing, non-operational, acne-giving, virus-breeding, rickety, easy-to-fall-out-of recliner, after cleaning the pots up.
He looked a lot better than last week. But of course, we shared ailments that we both know will only worsen. He said he’d call again in the morning. Hope he has a calmer night shift.
The wind was getting up again out there. The gold and brown showed up wonderfully well.
I did a bit of pareidoliaing with this shot. I found a bird’s head and a whale and got pleasure from looking at nature’s beauty.
I returned to the computer to catch up a little with this blog.
But it didn’t last for long. Crumple-Grips! Mini Seizures took over. My concentration was destroyed. I’m not complaining, though, cause

BONUS ODE
All the best to you and all in your abode,
I’ve just watched a ‘Heartbeat’ episode,
I may be selling my second-hand commode…
Then to the Porcelain Throne, I bestrode,
My teeth still ache; well, they’re getting owd,
Many broken, coming out, and yellowed!
New ailments weekly by the vanload,
Worries, fears, jealousies I can’t unload,
Always something to discommode,
I don’t see any of the twittering sparrows,
They used to fill the local hedgerows?
I hear voices, see faces in the shadows…
I can’t swim, but I paddle in the shallows,
Take photos of the sky through my windows.
Also, of the grass, trees and weeping willows…
This reminds me that I must get some new pillows!
I forget my telephone number & postcode,
Left taps running, the sink overflowed,
Can someone adopt me? Put me in ‘Happy-Mode’?
Doreen Dementia wants me to explode!
Stuck in this flat, alone, cocooned!
That’s enough, too-much, I have moaned.
Sorry about the aforementioned.
Pots to wash, I’ll get myself aproned!

Good old Heartbeat, my fave character was Greengrass. And BTW LSD is way better than elderflower 😉 re Starmer – another one night stand full of promises of romance 🙂
Dead spot on about Heartbeat, Sir. Greengrass’s follow ons, Vernon Scripps and Peggy Armstrong, were okay, but not a touch on the original Greengrass. I so agree wiv you.
Elderflower gets the elbow, then, Paul.
He’s already (Starmer), taken away pensioners winter fuel allowance, and raised the threshold
on savings to get benefits. I’ve no confidence in any party. Scary, innit?
Cheers, mate.
Yes, and not withstanding my aforementioned pacifism – I see a wall with politicians lined up and I hear, feel, the snick of the safety catch.
Ah, you had the same dream then, Paul?
Lol, yes indeed, and I suspect we are not alone.
Working your way through the snags of life makes another productive day. Keep up the good work. What makes me the saddest is the news.
Thanks for your caring words, Sir.
The news and my increasing blues, get to me today, Sir. Just when I think, things are being coped with… along comes depression. Can’t stop it.
