To question, get guidance maybe from the Shakti,
But where can I find this sanguinity? Possibly…
An ecosystem, twixt Tanzania & Kenya, the Serengeti,
See the migration of two million wildebeest & calmly…
See how they survive, live, free of Satanophany,
For humankind, has and is living salaciously,
See politicians, dictators, oligarchy, ruling irrevocably,
Uncooperatively, obstinately & recalcitrantly,
All are famous nowadays for being greedy,
Acquisitive, avaricious, grasping & parsimonious,
The art of deceptive speech or writing, sophistry,
Shared by leaders all over, and in my country,
We could learn from the wildebeest, & the honey-bee?
I’m talking of all of us, including Inchie!
I’m due for a trephination and sigmoidoscopy…
What future we’ve got left will not show serendipity,
The end will come from what might be called stupidity…
Via pitilessness, brutality, sociopathy, cruelty…
Which brings me back to Starmer, sadly,
He got into power, both lying, & cheatingly…
By deceit, dishonesty, and extraordinary duplicity,
His skill lies in his speeches full of scintillae,
2024: OAPs have nothing to fear from me, said Starmer.
The First thing he did when he got into power,
He cut off pensioners’ fuel allowance, now an alienator,
He’s a back-hander taking, cash & gifts abuser,
His reading is bad, for a crooked ex-barrister,
Sausage & Hostage, lies, and
Made Conservative, Nigel Biggar, into Baron Biggar,
Made Conservative Mark Harper, into Baron Harper,
He’s the biggest ever Labour Values neglecter,
He’s a compassion-free policy rejigger,
Oaths, commitments & promises rearranger,
A morals reshuffler, as MPs go, he’s a ringer,
A moral, honesty, & compassion ravager!,
Self-wealth, freebies, he does nurture,
Which is why the UK has no future…
I hope he visits Nottinghamshire,
Although it’s never ever been in my nature,
I’ve been rather a sort of peacemaker…
But he’s turned me into a PM hater,

I’ve been a smidge busy again today, but I did have visits from
There is a reason for this, I’m certain. A visit from the lovely, chunky, appealing, sociable, friendly nurse who called on me this morning. She listened, she told me her worries, we laughed… I’ll relate this a little later; I’m determined to get the tales in chronological order, for once. I’m missing the uninteresting bits to save time. It’s already close to midnight.
Of course, how many times have I said this and waffled on? Yes, we’ll see.
It was an odd night; the toothache was a bit of a bother, and the shooting pain was rife. But getting back to sleep was no problem. I think I amassed nearly seven hours in the land of nod. But I needed it after yesterday’s busy, panicky, frustrating, embarrassing and painful day.
It was about 07:15hrs when I burst back into life. This is worth sharing just for the humour it might bring, making us all smile too. Are you ready? I don’t think you’ll believe it, but it is true. Then I’ll start Hehehe!
Within the first minute of coming back to consciousness, (Might be out of synce but they all happened) First thing that hit me was the pain in the fractured knee, which I examined straight away, but no signs of any new bruises, as I was told to check daily if there were any new pains from the knee.
As I got upright from bending down, Dizzy Dennis had a go at me, and I sat back on the bed, just to be careful, and accidentally clouted myself on my cheek with
As I got up to get some pain killers, I unfortunately
Carer Ejaz arrived and issued the medications. These included one of the Amoxacillin tablets. He gave me
I should have remembered that the Minis, although tasty, were harder than the others, and I might struggle to eat them without getting a toothache. Fool!
But the careful, kind, up-for-a-natter-and-laugh nurse said that should be done next week. Today, her objective was to replace the dressings on my leaking, lymphatic right leg. That was a relief, Haha!
We chatted after she got me on the bed (No, no! Shame though). I mentioned the trip to the dentist, and she related her last dental experience—she was off work for three weeks in sheer agony. I asked her to take some nibbles for the nurses. By the time she had been gone for about four minutes,
That hour she was with me was so precious. As indeed is this photo on the left, that Carer Ejaz took for me, of the new double-layer wrap that she put on for me with great care and attention. I think she said the top layer was a type called Farrowrap. The bottom one is a roll-on one.
Ejaz took the gigantic empty box, which had the wheelchair delivered in it, from the balcony for me last week. I would have liked to have sent it to Tim Price, for his cats to utilise. It was massive, though, too big maybe.
Prepared the Meal.
However, hunger was rampant, and I struggled to eat it all slowly and painfully. Wish I hadn’t now.

Excellent ode. The nurse came to wrap up the leg instead of inching? Seems less intrusive. Interesting meal.
Cheers Tim. Trying to catch up on the notifications. Just read your latest blog. Great one it was. Gwendolyn and Loki my favourite one, but it was close.

The kitties rule. Thanks, Inchie.
Oh, yes!
Yes your ode asks the eternal question – what’s the point, the deck is stacked. I think we live on just to spite the elitist buggers.
That was well put, Tim. Thanks.
🙂
Very meaningful ode, Gerry. The food looks good to me. I hope your weekend goes well. 💖🙏
Thank you, Sir.
That Starmer really gets me going. I should not hate anyone… but him…
Cheers! 🙏🏻🧡
Politicians make it easy to hate them.
They seem to get worse all the time, Tim.
Toothache Tiffany is quickly trying to take over the number one slot in that competition for that lengthy list of pain inducers. Your mention of the large box brought back a great memory from my childhood. Whenever one of our neighbors would discard a large cardboard box, I would crawl along on the inside of that box and imagine that the cardboard represented the treads of a tank. It was great fun to turn my arms and legs into a propelling force. The small things are big things when you’re a kid, are they not?
Tiffany seemed easier this morning, Billum. But returned again, she’s consistent if nowt else. Haha!
You’ve triggered my memory now, mate. I used to go on the swings when it got dark an no one was around. Imagining I was a Hurricane pilot shooting down the enemy. I’ve not thought about that memory for 40 years. Yours is a better one, though.
Cheers, Sir. Love to all the Manorites. X 🙀👩🏻✈️
