.<<<>>><<<>>>
Sore throat, cough, something bronchial?
Gargle salted water, no NHS for owt medical,
Cycling on the pavement, a constable…
Gives a lecture, then a clip around the ear,
Nicking coal so you could have a fire?
Another clout around my ear on the agenda,
MPs just didn’t appear to be bribable,
Nothing known then as biopsychosocial,
Although the air was barely breathable,
DC power and electric shocks could be lethal,
School? Maths alphabetisation & survival,
No mobile phones, colour TVs or drones,
12” records with scratchy sounds,
Didn’t go through the lights on amber,
Getting to the moon just didn’t matter,
No such things as the BNP or Asda,
Reading a comic was our adventure,
Years late; See you later, alligator!
A talking & walking test, no alcoholometer,
We bought potatoes 12½d by the barrowful,
Cwt today? Costs £150, astronomical!
Cars? Austin A30, Rovers, Ford Anglia,
Standard Vanguards the police’s option,
Poverty, to us, was the normalisation,
Our nights in were with the mouth organ,
Nights out; A drink, film, hot dog, depression,
Or beers, & involuntarily emptying your bladder,
In every pub or shop, you’d see an Arthur,
They showed colour films at the Astoria,
But they were costly at 2/6, half a dollar!
Despite my having dementia and amnesia…
These things I can still relate to, & remember,
Cause life then held some fun and pleasure,
So, I’m ready to go, whensoever,
Would I like to live again? Never!

Big Iceland order

Fresh foods

More fresh foods
I did get some packets and nibbles.
But the photos seem to have escaped!
I CAN’T WORK IT OUT!
Admittedly, it may be the after-effects of the one and only (up to now) Seizure I came out of a few minutes ago.
I’m not grasping the problems or dealing with them very well. Of the eight photos I took of the order delivered, I can only find four. They were on the internal memory. Nothing else. I tried both SD cards and plugged in the transfer thingy, and a couple were there, so I tried again to upload them.
They didn’t show up at all?
I gave up and sulked a little. I tried again but had no luck; now they have also disappeared from the SD card!
I believe the problem is me.
When I tried a third time, I still had no luck, but I did find three meal photos I thought I had lost!
When?
When? Could they be old or already used?
Aha, last night’s!
So, what’s going on?
My grip on things has been loosened!
To make matters worse, the Doctor can’t see me until June. Carer Joe tried to get through this afternoon, but there was a massive waiting queue! I’m giving up now. I’ll see if I feel more with it in the morning. 
I know. I’ll go to the WP Reader and reply to the masses of comments I have received. Hehehe! Both of them.
Bit of an unnerving spell, this no-gripness!

Can’t recall taking this one

To this scratchy-looking shot
while making the meal

Slurp!

  1. That was quite a haul of groceries. All the meals looked good. Great photos. I especially like the scratchy one taken while you were fixing dinner.

    • Thanks, Tim. The scratchy one had a quality to it, to me, but I can’t think of the word, now.
      One of the Carers is a grand bloke. Getting me out, what a treat – even if things didn’t go right on Wednesday. Hahaha!

  2. Comics, sigh, those were the days. Dad had a Vanguard my uncle had an Austin A30, then a Rover (the middle-class Rolls). Now we did so have drones back then, they were all in parliament 🙂

    • The Standard Vanguard was my favourite car back then, before I could drive. My dream didn’t come through, Paul. Although I did have a ride in one, when the police took me home after I’d ran away… have I related that story yet? Har-har!
      I love your ending dig at the pol’s, mate! Great!
      .

    • Bless you, Tim.
      I remember Dad telling me than a quart pound of tea used to cost a farthing in his young days. That is 1/8th of an old penny. At the time tea was costing about 1/3d – 19 old d’s. Yesterday, it costed me £2! I guess it shocked all the generations over the years. (Prices).
      Best wishes for you too, Sir. 🙏🏼
