Next to muffin on today’s blog.
I’m sorry, but I also made a good start to the day! I did the header cartoon and accompanying graphics, then got on with the ode. It was a late start due to a messy and bloody visit to the Porcelain Throne. Then, back to the Odeing. 
Then, around midday, I found…
I left the tap running and was forced to abandon the blog to get things cleaned and dried where possible.
I spent an estimated four hours cleaning the wet room and the hallway carpet. There are hardly any photos from the day.
When I finally returned to the computer, I nipped to the kitchen to take some snaps. None are very good, but I’ll post them anyway. Worra Day. AGAIN! Sorry!

A nice full pouch this morning.

First trip to take snaps.

Not unlike noodles.

I made a brew later and took this one.

OF THE WEEK
A work of Farcical-Art to match the best!
I dropped a knife I was using to free the drain in the wet room floor. It got stuck in the siding, so I used the picker-upper to retrieve it. It slipped from the gripper and shot right through the shower curtain, hitting a bottle of bleach, which started leaking. That became my first priority, so I put it in the washing basin and cleaned the spillage using several rolls of kitchen towels. I got the water moving again down the drain. A moment of stupid smugness was short-lived. I went to sort the bleach bottle in the sink and realised I’d left the catheter pouch in their soaking, ready to clean it. It had dissolved into bits in the sink, and the plug-hole was now blocked!

I didn’t cry, despite wanting to!
I turned to get the mop bucket and trod on the knife that had fallen from the floor cabinet where I had left it. 
I didn’t cry, despite wanting to!

Cleaning up done.

I took the above, as Carer Christopher returned.

He sorted the medications, checked the catheter, and changed the bag for me. He also had a quick look at the Kodak that was playing up. Thank you!

Late now; going to get some food.
I should be back in the morning,
Very tasty!

Liberty-Global TV was down again!
Still, they have to reduce service so they can pay Mr Fries his total compensation earnings of $62m.
Jealous? Me? YES!

Evening shots.
From the kitchen window.

  1. I think the photos are nice, Gerald. A good start to the day is a blessing, even if it’s temporary. I hope you have more good times.

        Whizzer, Buster and Jack & Jill, ring bells. I progressed to the Hotspur as I recall.
        Comic swapping seemed popular as kids.

        Of yes, I’d forgotten about them, mate.
        Getting Dad to spend on postage stamp was hard work, as I recall.
        Hahaha!

        If we ever got pocket money we spent it immediately otherwise there was a risk that my parents would ask for it back 🤣

        Ah, I didn’t have that problem, mate. Mam would give me some when she wasn’t on the run. But it made wonder she’d conned to get the money. Hahaha!
