Where I was, I knew not, the place, it was aesthetically…
pleasing, an Angel appeared, looking divinatory, 
But she didn’t look or speak, but seemed to ignore Inchie,
I saw my surroundings dissipate, melting slowly…
The cave was replaced by a garden, full of agrimony, 
A blue sky, with the sun shining brightly,
People appeared, forming a shape, but gradually…
They chatted and smiled with each other merrily,
I realised that they were dancing, walking through me,
Am I a ghost? Did I die? What a pity…
My brain turned a blend of confusion and ambiguity,
I let the dream continue, quite unconcernedly.

04:00hrs; I woke in need of the  . Another Trotsky Terence torrent evacuated. Cleaning up after it took an aeon. 
Removed and then emptied the nocturnal catheter pouch. Yellow binned it.
Tided up the catheter bag boxes underneath the Carer’s table. Then the windy rumble from my innards directed me to the wet room and the Porcelain Throne. It proved to be a Constipation Conrad-controlled evacuation that wasn’t!
The only thing that did escape was a variation of almost musical-sounding blasts of wind, from pianissimo (very soft) to fortissimo (thunderous), with a few extended bursts of adagio & largo. I wondered at the time if the lady living below might well have heard them. They ended with a series of weak little blubums as the session finished.

Ocado turned up with a delivery. The driver took the bags through to the kitchenette for me, thanks mate, kind of yer.
Brown tomatoes. Tasty cheesy cobs, mashed potatoes with mature cheddar (Even though I can’t recall ordering it). 
Also, the pot of Mushroom Pate was the highlight, featuring a mini-pot of Portabella mushroom flavourings in the veg stews and mushroom ketchup for when I’m short on actual mushrooms to use.

I must tell you that an inkling and occasional burst came from who kept visiting me this morning. And very welcome he was.

They pestered me when I started working on the blog. Naturally, Horis faded as he took control of my emotions. After resolving the initial Windows issue, CorelDraw malfunctioned, preventing me from accessing specific options. The only way to fix this infuriating CorelDraw glitch was to save everything, turn off the program, wait ten minutes, and then reopen it. Today, I had to do this three times! 
After yesterday’s absence, I guess Horis was trying to make a comeback. Despite everything that went wrong, he would eventually fight his way back into my psyche. Great!
Made an afternoon mug of the new Typhoo – ‘one cup’ Extra Strong tea. Well pleased I was too. In a big mug, you still need to use two. Naturally, my favourite tasty teas, these being Glengettie and Co-op 99, remain, but these Typhoo ones are now my third favourite.

I went on the balcony to take these three cloud shots through an open window.
To the left.
Straight ahead.
To the right.

Then I lost the plot. I sorted the old spectacles to see which ones could still be used and relabeled those that I could find a container for.
Laid them out in order of age, some estimated. One pair in this picture of them on the bed was from 1988. I had to dish a few, but had no problem with this. But I did make a . I forgot to put new labels onto the glass boxes. Humph!

I pressed on with the blogging.

The retired nurse 🤎 came to check me out. Said my bottom was not as good as on her visit last week, and reminded me not to miss the barrier creaming every morning and night. (The last few days have been so busy, I haven’t had time to wash and shave, let alone do the self-medicating! Tsk!)  
The right leg had two new leakages starting. The nurse applied two smaller, ready-filled plasters to tackle the problem.
.
After treating it, she said If it doesn’t dry up, I’ll have to call the Community nurses to inform them, and get help. This is important. Bless her!

Two late shots

.
Got the spuds out of the slow cooker, dried them off, and cut them in half lengthwise. Put them in an oven tray, flesh side up, and dollop some shredded Red Leicestershire cheese on each one.
Got them in the oven to crisp them up.

Took another night snap.

I wrapped up the computer, not in wrapping paper, and saved everything before shutting it down.

A Copernicus Sausage was added to the cheesy half-potatoes, and two cheese-topped cobs were well Marmited, and eating began!
A lemon fool for afters!

Last two photos of the day.
Thought I’d missed the sunsetting.
But the cloud broke and the sun popped through.

TODAY – MARVELLOUS!
Can I get this result again?
FINGERS CROSSED.
