0500hrs: I woke up and lay there in a ruminative mood, pondering over the missing ailments and pains this morning. Very odd this, my EQ was telling me that something was in the wind of a medical nature on the way?
On the plus side, missing from action at this moment are, Anne Gyna, Arthur Itis, Duodenal Donald, Craig Cramps, Shaking Shaun, Reflux Roger and Harry Hernia! This, I found unnaturally discerning, unsettling and oddly perturbing. At least Haemorrhoid Harold and Dizzy Dennis were both in attendance. Hehe!
This reminded me of the visit from the District Nurse today. Enoxaparin injections time again.
I passed some wind and extracted myself from the crumb covered £300 second-hand recliner, making a mess on the carpet and Ottoman as I did so. A closer inspection of the suspicious particles of food as I got them cleared up, revealed they were from Marmite Crispbread? I cannot remember eating any of these… although as I pondered on this, a faint flavour of Marmite came from the back of the throat. Hehe!
Took the stuff into the bins in the kitchen, and found a tell-tale sign of my overnight crime. Guilty, Tsk!
Eventually, I got to the Porcelain Throne, and things went moderately well with that.
A bit of bleeding and stinging from the rear.
Haemorrhoid Harold and Dizzy Dennis both put in an appearance at the same time.
Dennis was a bit persistent, but he eased off later.
Got the kettle on the boil and did the Health Checks: Sys159, Dia77, Pul91, Temp 31.2 and weight 14.7, no hassle here?
Made a mug of tea and took the morning medications. Still a modicum of concern as to why the other ailments have not been in attendance yet? Uncomfortable sensation this, I can tell you. Haha!
I opened the kitchen window to take this shot of the beautiful Copse and lower field.
Very windy now compared to earlier.
The mind was a bit unintelligible even to me. I kept veering from one thought about ailments lets say, then what time would the nurse be arriving, it is only a booster so she could call at any time, so I’m stuck indoors again until she does. Feeling guilty, because I forgot to phone Sister Jane yesterday, Little Inchy was becoming sore. Then to what fodder I was going to have?
Thoughts all 
over the place and coming rapidly? Am I going bonkers? No, I think I’m there already. Hehehe!
Took a peek at the three vegetarian meals I’d got on offer from Sainsbury’s yesterday, and opted for the Cottage Pie to have today. But with how my brain was at that moment, anything could change. Craig Cramps and Arthur Itis visited as I did so. Reassuring in a way this, but I do not know why for sure?
Got the computer on and finalised the Thursday diary and got it posted off.
Started this one going up to here, then checked the Emails. Then did some WordPress reading.
Heard some odd noises, so I had a look out of the kitchen window. Sadly, it was the workmen removing the soil from where they have dug up the Chestnut Trees!
Had a wee-wee.
One Email from Coopers offered a discount voucher worth £10 if I made an order over £40 by tonight. Had a decker at the page and put one in. Fool!
Went of Facebooking for a few hours.
No sign of the nurse yet, so I had a wee-wee, made a mug of tea and went on CorelDraw 2017 to work on the graphics to use later on a TFZer series.
The nurse arrived all of a flutter, injections done, paperwork done and off again, all within the space of a few minutes. Busy gal. A lovely bruise where she rushed the job, but no pain or bother.
Did the ablutions and got ready for a hobble into Sherwood to get some bread and a bit of exercise.
On Winchester Street Hill, it looks as if the recent rain had brought on the blackberries nicely.
Down and into Sherwood, where I made a bit of a faux-pa at the bank. The sunshine was dazzling and hard to read the screen on the money machines, and I noticed what I thought was another one in the bank. I’ll use that one, I thought.
Went in, put my card in and suddenly realised that the machine was for deposits only! Der! I had to ask a chap if he could retrieve the card for me. Totally embarrassed, I burbled some rubbish about my going to put money in and realised I’d forgot to bring the cash with me. Red face developed! Luckily the man sorted it for me and got it back from the machine. I did feel a right fool!
Out and got some money from the machine and walked over and up to the Continental shop. Jar of Chinese mushrooms, sliced pork, small sliced loaf and cheese & mushroom portions purchased.
Up the hill towards the bus stop and called in the Co-op store and got some small bananas. Then further up and into the Nottingham Hospice Charity shop, donated the old coins to them. Apparently, they must worth a fair bit, cause they made a fuss of me for the first time ever.
To the bus stop and Frank arrived as I was doing the crossword book. He seemed a little uptight and not like his usual self. His other-half sent him, Obergrefreiteress Jenny, to fetch a new computer and was returning it to her. He was probably, a bag of nerves in case he’d got something wrong?
As I hobbled along Chestnut Walk passing the works, after getting off the bus, I cheekily asked a workman if he would loosen the lid on the mushrooms for me. He struggled a bit but did it for me bless him.
Into the lift and up to the flat, had a wee-wee and put the fodder away.
Got the food on the cook and did the Health Checks and took the medications with the meal.
The vegetarian Shepherds pie was sprinkled with cheese on top and put in the oven with some potato letters (Waffles).
Got a few burnt finger edges taking the tray out of the oven.
Added beetroots, garden peas, Chinese mushrooms and tomatoes and soon I had devoured it with much relish and delight to the taste-buds.
Excellent flavour from the Shepherds pie.
Got the TV on and fell asleep with the empty tray still on the chair next to the recliner.
Woke after about an hour and thought it was morning at first.
Off to visit the Porcelain Throne, Haemorrhoid Harold was playing up badly, but very little bleeding.
Nibbled some Lemon Wafers… well, I ate them all. (Guilt!)
Nodded off again, plate still laying there on the other chair. Had a dream, something about my designing a necklace in gold and emeralds and a lady very pleased with efforts, I think she offered me a job, I was very happy… that’s all I recall.
TTFN each.
0600hrs: It’s all dry outside at the moment, Although l
0841hrs: Had a wee-wee and nipped out on the balcony to take a photograph.
difficult part of doing the work can be the preparation. Searching for png file that you like and want to use, downloading it, doctoring and saving it converted into CPT format, then deleting the original png file. Takes ages to do just one, and I am looking for 20 or more. Still, nice when they are done properly and can be used later.
Got the dinner on and opened the packet with the towels in that had arrived.
0400hrs: Woke up remembering all the appointments for the day… well, alright then. I saw the note I’d left myself hanging over the TV screen, then I remembered. Hehe!
Set out on my walk into Carrington to the chemist and then the CHD checks at the doctors.
Luckily we were soon in town. I limped down King Street towards the slab square.
Back towards the store. Took a walk into the alleyway where I spotted the sign about the Hotel/Motel the other day.
He was patient and polite and set up the audio for each ear.
The hearing was good when I left the shop. I had just missed the bus, so went for a hobble around to kill the 55 minutes until the next one arrived.
No idea why.
No wee-wee required?
Checked on the chips and other cooking fodder.
Cheered by this, I decided to get down and do the laundry.
Up and got the Health Checks done and medications pots sorted for next week.
Finished the pots off, and down again to move the gear into the dryer in the laundry room.
Started work on yesterday’s diary then started this one off.
They have put up a new sign. Hehe! The security guard who attended the yobboes was attacked by the gang, I can’t see this keeping them away? Tsk!
clean around things.
Weariness and Dizzy Dennis called and overwhelmed me, and all I could do was finish making the meal and plop myself down.
To the kitchen and had a peep out of the window and took a picture for no particular reason… Well, there was one at the time, but I had forgotten what it was by the time I got around to doing this diary and putting the photographicalisation into this Inchock Today.
Hehe! Tsk!
session, got the things needed and set off to the bus stop. A Sunny morning and a laugh or two with the other tenants while waiting. Chinwag with the gal from the 11th floor en route.
Pavement Cyclist rode his bike between the gentleman walking towards me and the shop window, Tsk!
Caught the bus and was soon on the 4th floor of the QMC. I was in done and out within fifteen minutes. All clear.
The first University building on my right was the one that burnt down when they were building it last year and had to be done again from scratch. The young arsonists, despite being caught on CCTV were never apprehended.
Odd in every way.
furthest one?
Huh!
The Energy Technologies building didn’t look so bad as the others, I thought.
On the corner of Ilkeston Road, I spotted these flowers and wondered what they were.
being used for building as it is the site of the old Gas Works.
I turned right onto Ilkeston Road and up over the railway bridge, which of course, nowadays as no track running underneath it, more sad memories as I walked where the old Railway Station used to be.
little further and was soon in the City Centre, the feet aching a bit now, and Duodenal Donald poking at me.
Sorry!
At least I got a photograph of Mary’s love birds in their cage so I can show it to TFZer Marie from Australia.
Got the fodder served up.
Up and got a battery to replace it with in my pocket.
Down to move the laundry into the dryer machine and changed the battery in the clock.
Up and made another brew of tea and started to update the diaries then start this one off.
washing.
It seems that all the works being done, have encouraged a criminal element to take an interest in us?
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.
Popped outside first to take this photograph of the new fencing in the UKIP colours.
airing cupboard.
This was on the page as well.
They arrived.
Getting late now, so I got the meal going.
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.
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.
