A new invention, a creation of Inchies’ first ever attempt at launching his mind-boggling ‘Off-Track-Semi-Ode-Ode’. 

A Pioneering, but rudimentary, bound-to-fail jobbie. The idiot came out from a nocturnal seizure last night, with the idea of mixing an Ode, with his usual losing track of the theme, putting a load of waffle in between his lines of terrible rhyming and plot.
He anticipates this will turn out as a labyrinth of unsophisticated, hard-to-interpret, hogwash and buncome. Added legitimised, characterise notorisations & apologises between verses, in an effort to further syllogise and maybe psychologise the end product. He realises this is doomed to failure; he knew it in the early hours of this morning, even when he was recovering from the seizure at 02:10hrs, as he came back to mock life.
Decided the whole concept was rubbish. Then, at 15:30hrs, Premorbid Cognitive Impairment Iris rebirthed the idea in his cerebrum. Now the silly old sausage (not hostage) is going to give it a go. I warned him, but he never listens to me.
Another tooth was broken today; it’s his own fault for eating nuts!

The flat in which I live reminds me of San Quentin,
The bare balcony, partly hidden by a thin, tattered curtain,
The windows are filthy, the window cleaners have absconded,
My cleaning them had to be abandoned…
My fitness and alertness, that once abounded…
Mental & physical problems are constantly added.
It’s being contained within the flat that gets to me. Not able to meander over to the tree cops for a chat with the animals and trees. No visiting the ponds to feed and natter with the ducks and pigeons. These pleasures have gone, along with the abilities to get to them. I had to go down to the ground floor lobby three times this week – What a pleasure! Although the ailments didn’t agree, namely, Arthur Itis, Cartilage Chloe, and Anne Gyna, during the Wednesday farce with the laundry not getting dried, you can add Duodenal Donald. It took me five hours to get the laundry done, and that was after the Carer had gone. From the moment I got in the lift. Having already paid for the laundry to be done. Donald played me up for two more days. Of course, had this happened a few years ago, when the NHS prescribed Aludrox SA medication, it would not have been a problem. This ulcer medication was A1, great, so effective. But  HMG is cutting costs, and the result? I get prescribed an over-the-counter Peptac medication, which adds to the long list and line of reasons for Dark, Dank, Depression Darius having such a heyday nowadays. 
Bohemianism, with its unconformity, unorthodoxy…

Which bodes unfamiliarity, out & out novelty,
Dictatorship, Communist, or
 Starmers Oligarchy?
None of these is working as far as I can see,
Not one of them is interested in antipoverty…
Herr Starmer’s HMG acting openly asininely,
Plainly ruling corruptly, unethically, & fraudulently,
Achieving nothing but Keir’s soundbites aplenty,
I’d be content if the git died next Wednesday,
I wasn’t too keen on Blair’s lies, but they weren’t openly recognisable at first. Starmer burst on the scene, freebie & backhander seeking. Grumpy Brown, the do-nothing leader. I didn’t like that bleeder. Starmer led Labour to a landslide victory at the 2024 general election, ending fourteen years of Conservative government with the SMALLEST vote share of any majority government since record-keeping began in 1830.
But does this sink into the over-confident, smug, incapable, lying, two-faced Labour Party Principles ignoring Starmer? 
No, of course it doesn’t. I can’t understand why he has not been assassinated yet. I can dream… then again, who is going to get in power;
if I’m lucky and he resigns, gets thrown out by his own cabinet, commits suicide or gets his head blown off; the last option would be best. Cause he’s so conceited, and a bloody good barrister, his lying style proved this; He’d probably sue them. 
Well, Ajaz has just finished his teatime call,
I need more help, and that’s apodictical,
Apprehensible, perceptible, clearly palpable,
But will I get any? Will I be able?
Sod it, I’ve just banged Cartilage Chloe on the table!

I spent so long on the Ode, I’ll have to cut this short.

Up at 05:00hrs. Urine pouch is a decent 4 on the scale card. Made a mug of Detox tea, the cheap kind that requires cold water, so it can only taste better if it’s over-steeped.And I left for 35 minutes. Then off to the wet room to get the
tended to. Got myself seated on the plastic WC, and instantly Trotsky Terence released not any torpedoes like Constipation Konrad would, but his usual sticky but soft spatterings all over the porcelain. I didn’t have any deposits on my body this time.

Rushed through doing the teeth, shaving (3 cuts), body washing, and all the usual medications went reasonably well. Just Cartilage Chloe was any bother.

I pondered whether the bed needed tidying up.
It didn’t. I collected my dressing gown and went to get the Detox tea to sip. I spent about ten minutes tidying up in the kitchen. 

Then I limped through the doors and onto the balcony to take some morning shots. Starting with directly below and to my left. I took these through the glass, the dirty glass, which wasn’t a good idea on reflection. 
Then, I had to pop back to the .
Same mode as the first one. But this was half expected, given all the pickles and vegetables in last night’s stew. However, there was just one more visit to come today, about 18:00hrs, same again.

I then finished the tea that I’d forgotten about. I think I may be a bit of a twit in believing this might help me lose weight. But you never know! Well…

I belatedly changed the battery clock and calendar, and made a mug of proper tea. I used two of the Tetley Extra Strong one-cup ones.

I got the Health Checks started. The BP was slightly elevated on both checks today. But the blood & urine were fine.

Carer Ejaz arrived and did a good job this morning. I explained to him the importance of the new socks not getting screwed up when put in the washing machine, and showed him the L & R to identify which foot each should go on. Also, could he please check after drying, so that the L & R will be visible? The nurse said that after she called, it is crucial to get them right, as they are weighted in the correct places. If I get them on the wrong foot, the rough skin will get pulled in the wrong direction and can come off, causing worse leakages.

I had some problems with CorelDraw again.

The nurse called. I do like her. She explains things so well to me, as with the socks earlier. She checked my rear end and advised me to continue applying the barrier cream, even if it doesn’t feel sore. So. I will. I try to grasp all she tells me. Bless her. 🤎
I mentioned the diaper pants costing more now, and she was amazed that they didn’t supply them for free! She will look into it to see if she can get them on prescription for me. 🤎
When she asked if I had a sugar level tester, I mistakenly thought she meant the machine I have that takes readings from the finger. She is going to ask if she can order some of the needles and the kit for me. 🤎 She took a look at the legs and removed the plasters, telling me they are clear now. 🤎
She said she will ask about the diabetic socks and will come later in the week to measure my legs, so they know which size to order for me.🤎 What a treasure!

Carer Nimra did the noon call. Well, it seems to be 17:30hrs now. Not that it matters. We had a laugh over my new glass frames, and she was off. (Short call this one). I’ll ask a Carer to take a snap of them for me, then you can have a laugh as well. Hehehe!

I had a series of three in half an hour. Each one seemed to have shorter recovery times. I can’t weigh this up. Why?

Got the potatoes in the oven.
Baked cheesy potatoes, with Marmite.
Copericus sausage and red, orange and brown Isle of Man-grown tomatoes. Lovely!

  1. Hello, hello, hello my Inchie! you are really holding up and I’m glad of your good nurse who is an excellent manager. Dear is therennobody who could wheel you over to the trees, pond and ducks? Doing that every day for about 15 or 20 minutes would chase deep dark Darius away and give you that vitamin D from sunlight – even through clouds. I am willing to bet there are volunteers that could do that with you. If I lived close to you I would walk you out in a chair daily and have a little chat while feeding the water fowl and perhaps greeting local squirrels and outdoor cats. Billum has an old guy hip flexor so I stretch that for him when he starts limping. Sending you a big hug and kiss – and stop eating those nuts! Stick to Jujubees! Do you have those in the old country (haha). They are extremely chewy fruit flavored gummy candy. You can count n
    on seized jaw muscles!!

    • Thanks, lassie. X The plan was for the Carer on the longer Wednesday visit takes me in the wheelchair to the copse. That’s why they gave me the wheelchair for free. But there is just not the time, and I’m on my limit financially & can’t afford any extra time. Not that they have anyone available anyway.
      The nuts are history now, Petal Dove Angel, I’ve dished them all. Hehe!
      The thoughts you wrote brought a lump to my throat, Lisa Petal. 💖 Bless you. XXX

      • Computer, CorelDraw, and one heck of a cock-up with making an order, lowered High Mood Horis and Boosted Depression Darius’s score today, Paul.
        If I should write a book, what do you think iy ought be titled? Wot Next, comes to mind. Hehehe! Cheers, and taketh care on Saturday. Oh, I thoght you were a Leo for some reason. If not, don’t fret.

      • I’m a scorpio (beware they say). A book is a good project methinks – therapeutic and expansive. I’ve been thinking about for some time. My title would be “What Could Possibly Go Right!” lol

      • I like your suggested title, there Paul.
        More challenging question came from the Carer this very day; I f you had to give your book on modern-day politics a title, what would it be? I’ll have to ponder on that one, he didn’t mention limiting the sarcasm, insults & innuendos, Haha!

    • Kind of you, Tim.
      I’ll take the opportunity to say that Wednesday, the busy day of the week did not go well. The Wed blog may take a lot of catching up on, cause so much happened, but not with blog. Tsk! I’ll get it done eventually, Sir. Lots of photos too, but not the time to do them, Cheers again. 🙏🏻💟👍🏻
