Old, sick, weary, but harmless. I need to make others smile!
Inchy’s Ode & Bits Thursday 26th June 2025
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – The memories needed for Inchies’ Ode, Required to be excavated from where they had gathered, The house of Dementia, my brain to be ungraved… For related facts & memories, I scavenged, Finding little, as mind-detritus accumulated, I hunted, foraged, but little was garnered, Many things that couldn’t be recognised, But, I couldn’t find the mother-load, Anne Gina came, concentration deflected… Carer Ejaz arrived, and I had my wounds inspected, Delicate areas were well-barriered, Medicines given, my bruised hand was medicated, Back to the Ode, brain now more fragmented, Set fact-harvesting, I again wrestled, But nothing of any use was obtained, Some unwanted oddities were gleaned… I had to stop my attempted Ode preparation, What happened next, I can’t say I was surprised… I’d lost my plot for this flipping Ode! I wasn’t traumatised, stressed or agitated, Maybe just a smidgeon exacerbated? I’d be delighted if my life could be bedighted!
Friday 1025hrs: Just got as far as here after doing the ad-lib Ode. The nurse is due in about an hour. I think. So I’ll have to rush on and miss bits off. I’m further behind than ever before.
Blog-wise, and I do love doing it.
Legs this morning, on waking up.
Legs this afternoon. Looking better, but the feet are still dodgy to walk on. When they go down enough to get my slippers on, things may improve.
Late morning view.
Catheter drink made up.
Afternoon view.
Trapped my hand in the drawer. How? Not the foggiest, I was in a seizure at the time. No pain until I came out of it, feeling giddy as usual. The feet being full of bodily fluids didn’t help very much at all.
A Pareidolia’s Delight, evening snap. I see a bird and a beast eating it. Carer Ejaz saw the beast straight away.
I was well fatigued and tired, and forgot to put the tomatoes on the tray. Tsk! Went to wash the pots and found I’d left the hot tap running yet again. The drain had blocked, but luckily, I arrived in time to prevent an overflow from triggering the flood alarm. 👍🏼
Rifled through the drawer to get the unplugger wire, and somehow caught my hand in the rush as I trapped it in the drawer.
TTFNski!

78 years of age, pretty ugly, short, bald, pot-bellied, in ill health. Decaying physically and morally.

Hehehe! Oh, then I had a stroke! Now awaiting Cataract & Glaucoma operations. Diabetes 2, Leg-Ulcer-Ulrich, Cartilage Chloe & Carole and am flat-bound. Tsk!
Failures, Accifauxpas and Whoopsiedangleplops are my Forte... Hehehe!
I love making folk smile when I can. TTFNski!
Thank you Tim. I’m not anticipating, but am dreading this weekend. Carer Joe has one call left to do, and it’s left me feeling so sad and worried as to how I’ll manage without the lad. Cheers. 🖐🏻
Thanks for noticing, Paul, mate.
I’m getting silly thoughts now that Carer Joe has gone. Well, he’s got one more call to do on Monday. He said he’s tried to talk to the bosses about my needs, but it bodes badly to me. Sorry, but I’m on a mega-downer, and worried.
And am incapable of dealing with any two things at th same time, this seems to bring on seizures which doesn’t help. Actually the coming out of them is more precise. Can’t see the neurologist until November. Thanks Mr Starmer. “GIT!” You take my money, now my health and hopes… never mind, I shouldn’t rant on here. Sorry.
Hope you are coping Sir. You poems are still a cut above. TTFN
The system is straining everywhere, but there’s money for the gravy train mob and for war, sickening.
You’re spot on there, mate.
😢
I did see a black monster approach from the right, and the eye of a yellow bird on its way down the hatch of that black monster. But is that the same thing that others observe? Birds and monsters are in the eye of the beholder?
Just observing. Would like to know if others see a different bird and beast combination.
Cheers from heres,
Billumski
Yes, Billumski, Just what Carer Ejaz saw straight away. Well sighted, Sir.
Carer Manpreet saw just the bird, until I pointed out the gobbling beast. Haha!
I’ve got a red foot & leg and a white one this morning again. Ejaz took a photo of them.
Keepeth well, please. 👍🏻🤝🏻
Great photos, Gerry. That food looks delicious. Have a nice weekend.

I read/sense deep frustration – must be damned annoying to be fragmented like that.

I think I replied to this, Billum. Unless I got it wrong again. Carer Manpreet say the bird, then after I pointed it out, she got the beast. Haha!
