Greek: Παρασκευή 14 Ιουλίου 2017
0410hrs: Up and out of the £300 second-hand recliner and to the Porcelain Throne. It seems that neither Trotsky Terence or Diahorrea Duncan were affecting me this morning, a nice change this. Duodenal Donald had replaced their attentions it seems.
Assembled the washing and down to the laundry room and got them started. Noticed the wall clock battery had died.
Up and got a battery to replace it with in my pocket.
Had a wee-wee.
Did the Health Checks and took the morning medications.
Had a mug of tea.
Down to move the laundry into the dryer machine and changed the battery in the clock.
Cleaned the filter and surfaces of the washer and had a little wander outside, remembering the warning of vandals on Saturday night come morning, I was a bit weary like.
There were no people about, apart from a milkman who called.
Up and made another brew of tea and started to update the diaries then start this one off.
Put the TV on with the foyer entrance view on the CCTV channel.
Roy from the 14th floor had nipped out for a fag. Hehe!
Had a wee-wee, and down to collect the 
washing.
I noticed some new notes on the board again.
All of them were from Obergruppenfurheress Jenny (Franks other-half).
One about a Liaison Officer, Lynne Rowe, with her contact number if anyone needs help or has any queries. She will call us back if required – who decides if this is necessary, is not clarified.
Jenny has been kind enough to offer her services for anyone without a computer in the event of their getting notification of renewal requirements for the bus pass. I see she managed to find the cap lock button for this one.
That was kind of her.
Another notice about Security of the flats.
This does happen a lot, I’ve seen it many times and mentioned it a few to some residents, but these few scoff when you tell them not to.
Anyone in a nurses uniform is often let in because they are in a nurses uniform.
Bearing in mind the notice below these on the wall, I hope this is taken seriously by all the tenants in this block.
It seems that all the works being done, have encouraged a criminal element to take an interest in us?
I noticed the other day, a traveller’s or gipsy Ford Transit cruising to the end of the road and back, with stops, I assume for them to access the accessibility and opportunities for stealing the plant, metal or whatever they can get to?
I pray they do not get the idea of raiding the flats?
But I think it highly possible that they will return and break into the porta-cabins and or the New Temporary Tenants Social hut, soon.
After getting away from the hassle, threats and attacks in Carrington to come here, this is the last activity I want to see and become involved in again.
A wee-wee.
Down to collect the now dried washing, all folded and into the bag.
Popped outside first to take this photograph of the new fencing in the UKIP colours.
Hehe!
They could do with a static Security Guard on nights, perhaps?
Got the clothes folded and back up to the apartment with them and got them into the 
airing cupboard.
A bit full now innit? Hehe!
But I know just where to find everything, towels, jammies, socks, woolly hats at the front, jumpers t-shirts, undies at the back.
Haha!
Got the potatoes with vegetable stock, and the mushrooms and garden peas with mint added, both in the saucepans.
Updated this diary, then onto Facebook to catch up. Yesterday was so busy. I’d got well behind on it.
A few later, I got on with EMails and WordPress reading.
Specsavers email: Asking if I would like them to investigate with the local store owners, supply by return email my DOB, address, phone number, the store name! As I am complaining, why would I not want them to investigate? So I did, as below.
This was on the page as well.
I looked on the Trustpilot site, and it seems I should have done so before going to Specsavers.
Lots of negative comments found on there about their service.
Delivery should be coming today, maybe two, with the bargain priced nibbles I ordered. They should last a while, buying in bulk seems a real saving.
They arrived.
Also, some more paperwork and the INR Results came.
Emailed the surgery with a request for an appointment with Nurse Nichole for Wednesday 26th July as per the DVT instructions.
Onto Facebooking again.
Getting late now, so I got the meal going.
Onion rings, peas and mushrooms, tomatoes, mini pork and pickle pie and potatoes.
The lemon fool had gone right off, eurgh! Shame that.
Email from the surgery, confirming 0945hrs for the INR test on Wednesday 26th July for the test.
Medications and Health Checks were done.
Settled down, TV on and I was off into sleep-land in minutes.
Then I got the kettle on the boil, took the morning medications and did the Health Checks. Weight the same as yesterday.
Had a wee-wee.
Set off with the bags to the Tenants Social Hour.although with going
Nice chinwag and BJ was there. Put the prizes on the trolley and handed out the nibbles. Didn’t have a drink.Got the raffle tickets and handed them out to the gals.
Limped into the Slab Square, where I found they had made progress with the erection of the amusements and Nottingham Beach.
And like the daft soft Plonker I am, I just walked out with the box in the bag. But will the things actually work and fit?
I noticed that they do not print the word Aids?
Calmed down a bit and took this shot of the works below outside.
The £900 plus, the box of Specsavers hearing aid equipment is now residing, sadly neglected and looking forlorn, on the top of my stacks of DVDs.
Did the evening Health Checks and took the medications.
Got the nosh served up – smell different anyway.
skin, that reminded me of… well, never mind.
Even Reflux Roger kicked off as I limped into the kitchen, what a start to the morning this was!
Made a brew of tea and did the Health Checks. Took the medications.
Back to the kitchen and made another mug of tea for the one that had gone cold.
aying indoors would be a good idea today. Mostly the Porcelain Throne room door? Hehehe!
Realised I was to go to the HMV store to see if the Biederbeck Three Series I’d ordered had arrived.
take this photo though, as I turned right down Winchester Hill.
To the bus stop and caught one back up into Sherwood.
Then next door to the cake shop and obtained a fresh cream iced scone thingy.
As I waited to cross the road, this car pulled around the corner and parked up on the pavement, and the driver just sat there. The thing of interest was what I think are tyre skid marks across the road behind the vehicle.
Put the food away and got the new second-hand saucepans washed and on the cooker.
raphicalisations off for the TFZer site.
Made a mug of tea, took the morning medications with a Diahorrea relief capsule and did the Health Checks.
Down Winchester Street Hill and right up Mansfield Road and many of the tenants got off the bus here.
Got the things sorted and put away.
Then I got on with updating this again. For ten minutes… because Mary returned and rang the bell again, and, bless her, she had brought me two mirrors, a plastic framed shaving one, and a wall one, that she said she’d had not used for years and never needed – and offered them to me.
Sliced potatoes, tomatoes, beetroots, Chinese mushrooms, standard mushrooms, potato cakes, fresh pod peas and buttered Sourdough bread.
Had a wee-wee.
Took this photographicalisation on the corner of Chestnut Walk and Winchester Street hill that leads down to Sherwood.
Spotted the blackberries coming along nicely on the hedge bushes on the side of the road.
o… (She was struggling now, I could sense it) I couldn’t have! You must have misheard me, Sir.”
Limped (literally now) to the Lidl store and spent more money on what I could have done without.
the feet and toe were too dangerously stinging for any voluntary walking by now.
Got the food prepared and served up.
0500hrs: The Strange Awakening.
Took the morning medications and made up the pots for next weeks doses. Needless to say, I was happy I still had some of the Morrison Acute Diarrhoea Derek tablets and took one with the other medications.
Made a mug of tasty tea.
wander through the Copse later, take some nature pictures perhaps… hello, the rumbling innards have started again. Back to the Porcelain Throne.
Also, I have to fill in a City Care Satisfaction Survey about the nurses who did the Enoxaparin injections for me, five pages of this.
Had a wee-wee. Went into the kitchen to get some more antiseptic wipes and spotted two things out of the window below.
Started another graphic off, and the Amazon man arrived with the parcel, containing the hearing-boosters and lid remover.
while I was sorting out and getting the items assessed!
Far too late up for me, now. Feeling all drained again.
had to stab holes in the lid of the jar when I failed to get it off with the new wonder lid-removal tool from Amazon, I was lucky enough to have an empty beetroot jar to transfer the fodder into. Not big enough, so I had to throw some away, though.
I felt I’d done a lot of waking up throughout the evening and morning. Found some pencilled notes on the pad about some dream.No memories at all lingered, just the scribbled note. No memories at all lingered, just the scribbled notes, oddly written in caps and script format?
Carried out the Health Checks. Sys 147, Dia 76, Pulse 98, Temperature 34.5 and the weight the same as the previous time. 14.65.
Did rather well with the crosswords en route.
it them at the Arboretum or Arnot Hill Park. Best seed mix, Suet pellets, Sunflower Hearts and some mealworms. Mint chocolate biscuits for me and me only (Well. I like them! Hehehe!) Some retractable pencils, different colour highlighters and some spiral mini-notepads and departed.
here with the things I was after. I got some own-label Potato Cakes, sourdough bread and wholemeal bread thins.Just hope there is room in the freezer!
ear someone talking on a microphone in child fashion well before I got to the corner.
some verbals about something or other. I moved in the opposite direction. As I turned left two CPSO’s (Community Protection Officers) were running towards where I had just left?
book into the microphone. I assumed the pig things are from some TV show because a large crowd had gathered to watch and listen, all with kids in tow. Many were filming and photographing the entertainers.
as I took this last picturization of the Slab Square, that only one person in the shot is using a mobile phone?
The gorgeous smell that emanated from Big Reds BBQ restaurant was making me feel so hungry. Seeing the posters of the fodder in the windows as well didn’t help much.
rly had me through the front window when he jammed the anchors on at the bus stop on Winchester Street Hill. The bus stop is to the left of this photograph, I took this one as got to the other side of the road after alighting the vehicle.
The plate of meat was stinging something awful now, and I needed a wee-wee desperately.
Got on with catching up on Facebooking, then.
The meal was okay, not one of my best, but nice. I spoilt it with overdoing the cheese, and it ended up a bit of a battle to chew it… Hehe!
Performed the Health Checks and took the medications.
The sky was different this morning, reminded me of the Shepherds Warning.
I did see that there is at 1400hrs today, a Fire Service Meeting in the new temporary Winwood Centre Portacabin. For the Woodthorpe Court Tenants, 1500hrs for the Winchester Tenants (Who are lucky to have the bus stop moved to just outside their block of flats when the Woodthorponians have to walk so much further to get a bus. And the new cabin it nearest to them as well! But it doesn’t bother me!) Hehehe!
end, then said my farewells to Olive and sneaked out from the door at the opposite end of the cabin, sensing the glares and stares behind me as I did so.
Had a rather morose walk down Winchester Street Hill into Sherwood, and called at the Continental Food Shop. Asked for three slices belly pork with stuffing and garlic, and one Polish cooked chicken thigh. And a jar of Chinese mixed mushrooms in oil. I thought they were a bit expensive at £8.51? (When I got back to the flat later, there were six (Not the three I’d asked for, slices of pork and two, not the one I’d asked for, chicken thighs! Humph!).
Called in the Charity shops but nothing appealing, then I made my way to the bus shelter to catch an L9 bus back up the hill to the Winwood compound.
Dropped off the bus at the Winchester flats where it has been relocated to, and in need of a wee-wee, I made my way down to the end of Chestnut Walk to me Woodthorpe Court block.
ave them cold with the meal.
It was from Jenny, the flats coordinator, a former Woodthorpe Obergruppenfurheress Warden and tenant.
washing into the dryer.
Up again, both of the lifts now working again.
Did some more updating on the diary. Got it finished and posted off. It was time to go and collect the laundry again.
Went to make a cuppa, and saw that I’d forgotten about the bag of laundry I’d dropped as I got through the door in my haste to get to the wetroom. So I put away the stuff in the airing cupboard.
The Anticoagulation Record had arrived while I was out at the Hut.
I made an Email for the Sherrington Park Surgery requesting an appointment as instructed for Wednesday 12th July as early as possible for the next INR blood test. I added the photograph I took of the Anticoagulation Records details, like a subtle sarcastic reminder that they have not sent me an Email with the changed dosages. I don’t suppose they will be interested really, though.
Took the midday medications and did the Health Checks.
No rain at all today yet. It did say on the radio, some areas will get none, and others a ‘Yellow Warning’ storm?
astle Boulevard twenty minutes ago.
Did the evening Health Checks.
Got the fodder served up, and a great one it was too, taste-wise.
