BAD NIGHT’S KIP
The darn-nabbed 
went on for four hours, without any breaks, peace, or sleep to be had. Eventually, I gave up trying. I’d had nod-offs earlier, but they were all cut short by Carer visits, or the new thing now, rally jerking awake violently. It’s a wonder I haven’t had myself off of the c1966, £300 charity shop bought, second-hand, wincingly grotty, beige coloured, not working, crumb-covered from the nocturnal nibblings, itch-making, uncomfortable, virus breeding, easy-to-fall-out-of, recliner; there were so many of the yet to be named, unnerving episodes of cruel waking ups! Worse than ever, now.
Still, I got a few early photographs done. Stayed up late to get some sunset clouds. TTFN.
The great colour of the urine in the night pouch was impressive. 
I put the results of the urine on the Health Check graphic, the wrong way around – 6-3, instead of 3-6. Normal Service will be resumed as soon as possible… that is if 
, if that pesky nuisance I named 
leaves me alone at night.

Took this one with the flash on, Tsk!
Then this with it off.
took a shot of his own accord, and without
telling me as well! Hehehe!
Later, as the mist departed and the rain did not, I opened the end window, got wet, and took two shots of the end car park.
And a close-up of the morning mudslide puddle
A fair size today
A mug of Glengettie tea and an apple pastry
The Asda delivery arrived
Today, he was a friendly driver who helped a lot by bagging the stuff from his containers into carriers for me. Most helpful chap.
The first bag was emptied and stored away.
Food cupboard stock, and Carers, nurses nibbles.
Two favourites here;
Red Leicester cheese nibbles, &.
Brown part-cooked baguettes.
For the fridge…
Which was well filled up.
As was the freezer!
Late afternoon skies…
Fantastic!
Could be the moon’s surface?
An hour later…
Amazingly, the sky got lighter and brighter not long later.
Just caught the end of the sunset.
Well, almost!
Now for the treat of the Year to date.
Took me a long time to get prepared, I used the air-fryer to do the potatoes. The tomatoes were tasty, and I can’t say that very often from Asda or Iceland bought fruit & veg.
The two sourdough mini-baguettes were smothered in the best tasting… better than any real butter, Asda non-butter butter. And smoked tomato ketchup dabbed on them.
And overfilled with the knuckle. That I sliced without any injury to any digits. 
Gorgeous!
A Taste Rating of 9.3/10.
Cause the potatoes were not so good.
The evening carer called, but I just don’t know who it was who came. Chris or Victor, I think.
When I woke up later, the cataracted eye was feeling like grit was in it. So I know that the eye drops were put in, and the 
night bag had been attached to the day pouch for me.
I soon nodded of after making a note of events on my pad, and yet again the blasted started. I knew I could do nothing, so I accepted it this time and tried to follow my wild thoughts and understand them.
A waste of time that was!
Evening all!

Amazed to see that the night bag had no urine in it!
Decent colour bearing in mind the retention in the bladder had caused a backflow. My stomach was aching a bit, but it soon eased after emptying it out.
An early-morning photo from the kitchen.
Two hours later, rain!
Hurrah! Got the daft soft slippers on!
Made a mug of tea, no biscuits dunked!
Within two hours, the 5th…
Took this snap and made a pot noodle meal. That’s all I could manage being so tired, and I wasn’t really hungry then. I still reckon the new Chloramphenicol eye drops are the cause of my weariness and lack of desire for food. I’ve only had three biscuits dunked in the tea, in the last three days?
Took these snaps of the mini mudslide in the car park.
The weather brightened up for the first time tonight.
I took this from the kitchen window.
Why have I needed three, messy, light-brown evacuations; When I’m not eating? Could this also be down to the

A few nicks shaving. As expected
Cleaned and refreshed, and feeling rather good after a broken but long sleep, even on the aged, grotty-looking c1966 made, charity-shop-bought, horribly beige-coloured, £300, Harold’s Haemorrhoid-testing, non-operational, acne-giving, virus-breeding, rickety, easy-to-fall-out-of recliner. But I knew it wasn’t going to last long.
overdoing the pinch of basil, as the lid shot off!
A good stir to dissipate it…
Not that it did much dissipating.
Made a brew and onto the computer.
Five minutes later, it returned.
Left the computer and went on the balcony to take this shot of the mini-mud slide in the end car park.

Angel Nurse Hristina arrived and got the blood taken.
Fancy that!
The rain resined, and as I was taking this photo…
And some peas to the mix.
Wunderbar!
A delightful nosh, Rated at an 8.9 on the Taste-Rating

Mayhap the oddest day of the week so far.
Up in the sky.
Sun coming up from behind.
The landline flashed. It was Phlebotomy Nurse Hristina. To tell me she would call tomorrow morning to take the Warfarin INR blood sample for analysis. ♥
Nibbles
Frozen favourites!
Fresh food treats!
Drinkies to help the bladder
Fridge refilled now
I was hoping to give manual wee-weeing a go, and that I could pass water voluntarily again. With the (hopefully) now-reduced in size Prostate. If the tablets had worked.
Naturally, my being the brave, heroic sort of young man, there was no grimacing, chewing of the cushion on the c1966, £300, second-hand charity-shop bought, crumb-containing, odour-retaining, Harold’s Haemorrhoid-testing, nauseatingly beige coloured, non-working, virus-breeding recliner which I was sat on, howls of pain, nor exclamations of any sort, like, ARRGH! or anything of that nature while the tube went in.
.
Simple food for a simple man. Hehe!
I woke up, and he was on his mobile.
and hobbled into the kitchenette for safety checks. Being so tired, I thought I may have left a tap running, a door open on the fridge or oven on from cooking the potatoes. All was okay.
To my Pareidolia’s Delight, I spotted what looked to me like a shrimp in this photograph. Can you see it?

I checked on the day pouch contents with a view to emptying the pouch. The colour of it caught me out, and seemed too dark suddenly, compared to the night pouches urine.
It was still flowing in.
The traffic was heavy with queues to get into the EENT department. She had to drop me away from the unit and walked me in through the doors, bless her.
Another good long deep examination. Difficult at times cause I could not hear what he was saying, and moved in the wrong direction a few times. But he was also understanding with me. 
, and put some in so I can start the course in the morning.
I meandered around taking sneak photos.
Exiting patients from other departments.
Can’t recall taking this one of Three-Wheel-Walker Willie, or why?
Are folks awaiting lifts?
Taxi.
Turned back to go inside again.
This boulder was used by smokers going out for a break methinks. Hehehe!
Took this selfie.
Then the absolute pleasure of taking off my shoes.
Gorgeous!
To the left a bit.

this morning.
An excellent shade of urine!
Not much rain last night, and no dog to watch bathing in it!
, which was very messy and phooey…
I went to make a brew of Glengettie.
And took a photo of the tree copse area.
Bootiful!
drops inserted. I remembered this time to stick my finger in the eye for three minutes.
Doing well, aren’t they!
Earlier shot from the computer chair, that I’d missed.
The oddest ever trip to the Throne this was… well, maybe not!
I really thought that 
was losing his grip on the evacuations. For things didn’t seem to want to start moving, naturally, I thought this could mean a cement torpedo or two… but no! After a good ten or twelve minutes on the crossword 
puzzle..
Got the potatoes on the boil…
And took this picture.
Then the above snap of the legs, feet and toes.
, either! However: 
Cheese & onion pasties, potatoes, peas and beetroot.
Went to get the evening’s ablutions done – No Hot Water!
Wonderful view!

Pleased with the urine shade, though there was not much of it.
That should have concerned me, but it didn’t.
Into the kitchenette. to get the kettle on to make a brew of Glengettie. Something else different here. Normally, with my restriction to two mugs a day, I would not have made one so early in the day. (I got up at 0335hrs) The sky was a lovely blue.
diverted me to the wet room.
I even had time for a few minutes of cross-wording.
I even managed things using just a third of the toilet roll.

15:00hrs. See anything in this one? You must?
15:10hrs. Raining a bit…
And the one below, a few minutes later.
Nothing like it looked colourwise, But you can see a man or bear in the left cloud? Or the hand rising? Or is it just me? Hehe!
Aniseed medicine. Spit! Haha!
A dog investigating the mudslide water…
Decide it was bath time, and had a jolly-good jumping-about session. The tail wagging furiously! Great!
Carer Chris took these two for me, catching the shiny rooftop on one house as it caught the sun. Must have sun-power-shields?
Puffer clouds high in the sky – I love them.
Lower, the skyline ribbon. With its fingers pointing up skywards, beasts and I see the abominable cloud-man. Haha!
18:20hrs: An open oyster there?
21:40hrs: Getting the late meal sorted, and captured this late sunset shot. Bootiful!

in the night pouch this morning.
The ankle and legs looked a lot better this morning. 
leg injury and infection, are less frequent.
Had a closer look at the infected wound coin the leg. It looked so much better. The occasional stinging pains still give me some pain and hassle, though.
I went to make another brew, taking a snap of progress at the house, close to the Woodthorpe Grange Park bottom field. Plenty of equipment or parts there this morning.
I had to take the right slipper off. Too painful, as the leg and ankles are beginning to swell up again. Getting as big as the left leg. The hip is just as bad; it’s not 
a good place to be when I stand or brave hobbling. Bit of drizzle, and I espied the mud-slide was relatively wide. Hehe!
Another marathon session… well, not the session, but the cleaning up after the session… if you know what I mean… if you do, please let me know. Thanks!
I finally got the blog sent off to WordPress. 
delivered today. Carer Kara ordered them for me. ♥
Raining again.
One shot of the houses around about.
I thought of some titles for these pictures; 
Moving forward to take the close-up shot, I accidentally 
& Caught the infected wound simultaneously on the radiator. Which caused me considerable pain as I twisted my left hip in unison.
without any doubt.
Not too fancy a meal. But enough for me to enjoy. The soy lemon yoghurt was the highlight of the dish
I hobbled off to wash the pots up and got this photograph of the great, which could almost be a painting, view of the evening sky shot yet again.

Under the cabinet?
This is going to be fun, all that bending.
for so long, it must have been four hours later when I realised that I’d not moved the food from the kitchen floor! Aargh!
The frozen chips had started to melt.
The ready-prepped spuds.
Cheapo batteries, Curls and baking soda.
The fridge & freezer were well-filled.
Freezer mostly with bread products.
I checked on the day’s outages reported. Then…
🎵And the heavens poured🎵

Took a picture of the returning rain-covered scene, of some flats balcony and the car park.
The rain returned.
Back on eight minutes later…
Shame! Had to do a complete restart on the computer and Virgin box, but got it back on within 40 minutes.
I posted the blog and was sending an email…
I waited for half an hour, but it wasn’t keen on coming back online again…
