Could I escape the human jungle we call society?
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
, by the end of the day, totalling a pleasing ratio of attention versus nasty, naughty
.
Better than for a long time. It may be a record?
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
, and caught the teeth and gums at the same time, gifting
the opportunity to join in the painful early morning pain-giving attacks!
As I got up to get some pain killers, I unfortunately 
and swore a little. Then, I had to respond to the calling to the Porcelain Throne. Samned hard work to get it out!
Carer Ejaz arrived and issued the medications. These included one of the Amoxacillin tablets. He gave me
some Peptac and Phorpain gelled Cartilage Chloe and Arthur Itis’s knees.
I made a start on yesterday’s blog at long last. But not for long, and another summoning to the Porcelain Throne arrived and had to be responded to. Even more painful and a lot longer evacuation this time. A bit of bleeding was coming from ![]()
I put some of the cream onto Little inchy, but had no desire to rub it in. I had enough pain with the other ailments, and decided not to use the after-barrier cream.
The Asda order arrived, and I got the stuff into used Iceland carrier bags and into the kitchen to sort it out.
I’m not sure why I bought even more jars of Kung Po sauce… yes, I do now, it was on a special Offer.
These cookies were on Special Price, as well.
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!
I put some in a nibble jar, and the bacon-flavour crispy thingamajigs in another jar. They should be painlessly edible
Returned with even more gusto, and good cause. Why? A District Nurse arrived. I initially thought it was to change and replace the Catheter contraption. The pain I experienced when they replaced the tube in Little Inchy was bad enough, but with all the other ailments I had, I almost feared it.
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,
There was nothing to do about it, I’d fallen in love again, which, of course, in my state of health, mental and physical and my age, is inappropriate; it wouldn’t, couldn’t work, but the thought that it just might, is still being retained in my alien occupied brain, as a part of my maintaining a hope, clinging to a fantasy, pretending and ideating. I’m waffling again! Sorry. But when you can’t stop
falling in love, and are an unwell old antique, what else is there that one can do? Hahaha!
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.
The end of the car park, with the regular little red car on the no-parking lines, and two other vehicles were demonstrating their
parking skills for us to admire.
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.
As
I returned, I stopped by the blog, sorted out the washing I struggled to get done yesterday, and rearranged it to separate the dressing gowns and the kagoules (nightdresses). I managed to break three coat hangers, stubbed my toe again, and put them back in the order I found them. That proved pointless!
Prepared the Meal.
Made a cock-up, (I needn’t have mentioned that, I make them that often) and burnt the meal, which made the food harder, defeating my plans for having softer food to counter the effects of dear
another error!
However, hunger was rampant, and I struggled to eat it all slowly and painfully. Wish I hadn’t now.

I admit, it can be a bit of a bugger,
during the ablutioning.
Refilled the bottom cyoboard again
fridge. Polish sausages, Zwieska, Cheesy Rolls, Roast pork and rostis. I have plenty of drinks for anyone who calls to help me
in any way. The iced coffees are particularly popular.
this colour was the best ever recorded. While being hospitalised for 3, then four days, I kept missing the nurses changing it. Then the three weeks with the fractured knee meant I couldn’t, daren’t move it back then, cause of the pain of it. But it is far less hurtful today, so I moved it. I have complete confidence that the dentist will alleviate the pain later today. Hahaha!
We got off at the Mansfield Rd bus stop on the hill. We nattered and had a laugh as we crossed the road and walked up to the dental surgery. I was danged-glad that Ejaz was with me. Getting up those four deep steps is not easy without the trolley, but Ejaz assisted me.
I continued working on this blog and then headed back down to the laundry room. Took me ages to get the clothes sorted and folded. They were a smidge damp, well, the thick coat was. I cleaned the filter and reinstalled it. Taking this photo of a car on the chevrons at the front of the flats on the way back. I met the lady
who helped me on the way back, and offered her my appreciation and thanks.
I added the heavy coat from the dryer to the rest of the clothing in the bag, taking care to keep everything as straight as
possible. Going back along the link corridor, I stopped twice because my frequently fractured knee was pretty painful.
When Ejaz did his late call, he took a snap of my right leg. Not a pretty sight at all. Then again, that’s not unusual!
I very stupidly added raw garden peas to the tray. This resulted in instant pain from the four teeth and gums on the right side of my mouth.
As Ejaz left after his early morning visit, I realised he had not given me one of the Amoxicillin tablets. I took one and made a note for me to tell Ejaz. Afterwards, I wondered if I’d done the right thing or the wrong thing. I was aware of what the Dentist or Chemist was communicating to Ejaz; maybe they told him to start the course in the morning?
On Ejaz’s last visit, I told him I’d taken the Amoxicillin tablet & why. He took a shot of the legs and the colour of the urine in the catheter day pouch, it’s getting darker now. One thing that struck me was the new compression bandage’s colour, so skin-like.
Thanks to Carer Ejaz.

I woke late and felt tired but not particularly down mentally. I decided to get the ablutionings done, which turned out to go like this: Very well. The Precelain Throne first. Constipation Conrad is back in charge again. ‘Fully’ in charge. It took a long time for the evacuation to start.
fractured knee I woke up with was hurting a fair bit, but it soon eased.

At this point, I was doing well, considering, then as I got on the computer… Then the sudden attacks from the three ailments hit me all at once.

out there. I didn’t scar my legs on the Wheelchair footrests again, though. Hehe! Although I did manage to trap the same finger as yesterday in the sliding glass door. Tsk!
I missed this one off. I’m not sure when I took it, but it is, without a doubt, a photo of my once-beloved tree copse on the lower field, opposite the prison cells, or rather, opposite the block flats where I currently reside. Haha!
I imagine I’m just going bonkers.

The moment I woke up this morning.
These two were taken this morning by Carer Ejaz.
Blown if I remember what he said, but it made me laugh as he took a snap as I was putting back on a nightshirt after he had Barrier creamed where needed on his body-check. Bless him!
Later, I went onto the balcony to take this shot of the Citrus Walk end car park. Nice parking.
The rain started later on.
The wind was howling near lunchtime.
The rain eased of later on.
Followed by my twisting the fractured knee as I turned with the stick, and dropped the dam thing again! This time, I did fetch the Picker-Upperer.

He noted that the foot and ankle were looking better and took this snap on the left. On his last call of the day, we found that the leg’s Lymphoedema was leaking again. If it is in the morning, he’ll inform the district nurses. Not that either of us thinks that it will do us any good. We must try.
I’ven’t got up so late in many a month. 07:15hrs. I was doing the ablutions and on the Throne when Ejaz arrived to sort me out. Glad to report that Constipation Konrad has lost some of his grip on the evacuations; still needed input to get moving, but once it started, it was easy-peasy.
Ejaz sorts the prescription medications drawer.
Made a brew in the little mug.
Last leg check. Looking less marked now.

misery of losing Nurse Christina, with her charm, compassion, wit, and caring nature. Hristina is sadly missed already.
Carer Ejaz, on his last call, pointed out that the left foot, in particular, had swollen, and I was experiencing pain under
the middle right toe again. The left toes had sort of warped. The foot top & ankle had blown up and were a smidge tender. He said if they were the same in the morning, he’d call the Community nursing number and inform them of the situation. Bless him.
End car park.
Food repetition & cock-up


Marmite roast potatoes, cheesy bread rolls spread with Marmite, and Solokow Polish sausages. Eaten with a bag of Marmite crisps! Lovely!

I took a snap of the end car park and the front car parks from the balcony.
not a good one. For the front one, I opened a window to take it. Trapped my finger closing the window mechanism.
Made a small mug of extra-strong Typhoo tea, and updated the clock calendar. The hearing aids are working again!
I pretended to tidy up the Carer’s desk with quite a few nibbles and medications scattered around.

A depression should have arrived then by rights and circumstances, but the kind thought of her coming to let me know herself, and with the wonderful gifts, it was weirdly only
