Wednesday 12th October 2016
I think that the England performance against Slovenia, who deserved to win the match really, must have got to me more than usual. Around 0130hrs, I woke to go for a WRWW and memories from a dream was fresh in my mind, then! Now, by the time I get to record them, not so. I think I had been appointed asĀ manager of the teamĀ and was using players from the lower leagues?
0410hrs: Out of the Ā£300 second-handĀ recliner and off for a WRHD. No bleeding this morning and both Anne Gyna and Arthur Itis were being kind to me. But Duo Denal was giving some bother. So I went to get some of the medicine, and could I find it? Gave up after a while, made a cuppa and took the medications.
Thought about if I could get to theĀ AsdaĀ (Walmart) store today, to do the photographs. The M&S ladies areĀ due this morning just before midday.
I had a look in the fridge to see what fodder I might need if I can get out.
Decided to have an apple and there to my surprise, on the counter top was the medicine I couldn’t find earlier!
Cunning little bottle that. Hiding itself away!
Hehehe!
Took a swig or two and got the laptopĀ going. Finished off the Tuesday diary and started this one off.
Popped on FacebookĀ (I popped onto the scales earlier, but best not to mention this).
Oh, dear, a dizzy spell then. Not had any for a good while.
Best I get some fresh air, methinks. Sorted the bins and took them to the chute. I’ll take the jars down to the recycling bin.
Called to see Olive on the way out again. A little uptight she was this morning, but still looking beautiful.
1110hrs: HygieneĀ gals arrived to play at cleaning for me, so IĀ could pay them without any guilt.Ā Huh! We did have a laugh, though.
Soon as they had been paid and gone on to ‘do’ another flat, I readied things for my trip to Asda-Walmart in Arnold to try and get the photo’s printed once again.
A precautionary WRWW visitation, and off I went to catch the L9 bus.
Nearly there, the rain began to chuck itself down.
Went straight to the PhotoShop and got the camera card in the machine and paid for them, did some shopping and to collect them afterwards.
Bought some prawn tails, Lemon Frazzles, apples, small bananas, cobs, satsumas and a TV paper. I nearly left forgetting to pick up the photographs.
Plenty of time before the last L9 bus so foolishly I wandered over the road to the Fulton Food Store to look for bargains.
Noticed this ‘whatever it is’ in a shop window?
Something to do with Halloween perhaps?
We didn’t recognise Halloween when we were kids? Just as well, cause trying to get Dad to spend money would be tantamount to getting Nigel Farage voted in as head of the race Relations Board.
In the Fulton Store,Ā I got some discounted fodder and items they have not had in stock for ages.Ā Blackcurrant ice-cream lollies, Snickers Flapjacks, Large cans of garden peas and some cheese sticks that were made with cheddar cheese and were so tasty! (Just couldn’t resist nibbling a few at the bus stop later)Ā Heavy in calories tough, I imagine.Ā (Guilt)
Off to the bus stop, bus-pass in hand, and waited with cross fingers that the last L9 bus would not me missing.
A pigeon was lurking about picking at crumbs, some of them mine when I nibbled a few of the cheese sticks.
Amazing colouration on its head this bird.
A distant relation perhaps, to the famous Speckled Jim, from the 
Blackadder episode where Edmond was Court Marshalled?Ā Haha!
Arrived back at the flat and tended to the desperate need for another WRWW.Ā I put away the bought fodder and got the lamb and vegetables cooking.
Found this photograph on the camera. I can’t recall taking it, never mind what I was photographing this scene for?
The meal was another success after my many failures of last week, anyway.
Crock-pot vegetables, potatoes, lamb hotpot with peppers. The banana and apple I ate afterwards along with a Lemon Frazzle. The satsuma is stillĀ awaiting my attentions.
A WRHD session without any bleeding from anywhere, and I washed the pots and readied myself to watch some TV programmes. It was not a very successful venture, the nod-offs kept coming.
TTFN all.
Had a couple… well, alright then,Ā six chocolate biscuits.
Paid the lady and out and onwards to the Asda-Walmart Store. Passing this window display en route:
Paid the gal at the checkout, and for some reason struggled with carrying the bags out and up the hill to the bus stop? Felt winded, and Arthur Itis was complaining about it. Hehe!
Ā I had a good while to wait for the bus.
eight minutes.
When the bus got to the ring road island, there was no traffic whatsoever about!
What had happened apparently: It was time for swap-over for the bus drivers, and one of the buses had conked out!
Got in and tended to a WRWW, then sorted the purchases out and stored them in their appropriate places. Got the vegetables in the saucepan and simmering away, laptop on for a bash on Facebook, then updated this
Did some CorelDraw X8 graphicalisationing, then got the Ā fodder ready to consummation.
The sky from the kitchen window looked so beautiful, as the evening descended. I say descended, is that the right word?
Down again on the lift, through the foyer and to the laundry room. The door on the right in this photograph here on the right like. I fink?
thingamabob. Called in the CommunityĀ Shed and gave Deana and Julie some nibbles. To the bus stop, many tenants waiting for the bus, but not in a talkative mood today.
Nipped down a floor and to the end of the mall into Tesco and got some lamb, Boczek, and chicken thighs.
As I limped down to the slab square, there seemed to a lot of buses in the traffic jams?N
The Slan Square itself was being prepared for some special event.
I took this shot on Long Row, of a Watson Fothergill designed building above the shops on the ground floor.
The sky is getting awfully dark now, and it is definitely going blooming colder here!
The meal was ready, served it up and salivated while I ate it!
Popped onto the scales after much preparations and wily cunning tricks beforehand, and it was down 1lb (Well, nearly practically, and approximately almost!) comparedĀ to yesterday.Ā Ahem!
I nipped into the kitchen toĀ check on the Crock-Pot vegetables progress and add som seasoning to them now they were warming up and took a photograhicalisation of the skyline and Tree Copse.
But I’d forgotten I took it and did not include it in yesterday’s post.
Posted the diaries, did some more graphicalisationing for the TFZ site.
Readied me and limped out for a walk to Sherwood to get some bits, taking in the Copse on the way back to the apartment. No mega-limps today, just a steady walk down the hill to the shops, then a slightly more constant struggle back up to Woodthorpe Park, and down through the Copse and out and further down to the flats.
Set off along Chestnut Walk to Winchester Street Hill and right down to Mansfield Road.
Up over the hill and right into Woodthorpe Grange Park. Spent a while looking at the dogs enjoying themselves.
bushes by nature lovers during the day, and drug addicts during the night.
As I made my way down the path, I picked up some empty pop cans left by the local yobbery presumably – Swines! A few pace further on, I collected two empty wine bottles?Ā High-Class yobboes around this neck of the woods it seems?
walking their owner.
myself going over.Ā Humph!
I did feel a fool!
on the table.
Took the medications and checked the cooking progress and got the meal ready.
I found a photograph on the camera that I’d missed off from the Goose Fair Album.Ā Hehe!
My eyes bigger than my stomach tonight.
Set out along Chestnut Walk to the end and right down onto Winchester Hill.
I spied the roof on the National Laundry buildings on the hill. Now V
that is behind me now at last.
right into Gregory Boulevard passed the island with the Giant Goose on it as is usual and over the zebra crossing.
all.
put the camera away from taking the milk shot.
Took some photographs of food stalls to put on the TFZ site later.
The feet and knees were pretty bad as I climbed the hill and down, the up again into the City Centre.
I got into town and called at the Poundland Shop and had a look for bargains, as I had a while before the L9 bus was due.
I noticed that Clinton Street was in its usual cram-packed with shoplifter…, no, I am shoppers condition.
Took the medications.
Ā So, no hot water for shaving, Humph and Tsk!Ā Washed by using the Shower spray into the sink – but that was not too hot either.
Then got the fodder readied.
As IĀ climbed the gravel footpath hill passing the treeĀ copse, I noticed on the right, the grass had what looked like straw spread over it.
indicated the change of season to me.
Waiting at the bus stop also, were three lady tenants.
Went into the kitchen to have the midday medications. In the distance down below were three men, apparently in difficulty with some kind of agricultural orĀ gardening machine.
Getting the meal early today.
As I waited for BJ, IĀ took this photo. I stuck the lens of the camera through the net wire fencing to take it. 
As we went down Winchester Hill into Sherwood, I saw the house that is currently for sale for only Ā£185,00. A bargain BJ thought.
We were soon at the launderette.
Got the nosh served up.Ā 
I reset the selector to the iA position and took the second photographicalisation, which came out as expected?
No emails came in, so I started doing some Facebooking.
I ambled along Chestnut Walk and turned right down into Winchester Hill. It was a bit nippy this morning. 
Walked into Carrington at a nice steady pace as I had plenty of time. I was at one time making a better average speed than the traffic.
done and I gave her the nurses nibbles and went to the bus stop to get a bus into Sherwood, to catch another one, into Arnold, the L9.
realised it was to a far less a degree!
Went to visit Olive.
Did some quick Facebook graphics.
