Sesotho: Laboraro la 19 July 2017
0400hrs: Much waking up overnight, kept going back to a similar dream from when I had the shop, all doom and gloom with re-lived spectacular failures.
Up for a wee-wee. Made the tea. Health Checks the next priority. (Thought I’d start with some poetry, Hehe!)
Sys 160, Dia 78, Pulse 91, Temp’ 31.8f and Weight 14.82; Not bad at all?
Checked on the web. Looks like rain, to say the least.
0600hrs: It’s all dry outside at the moment, Although looking somewhat threatening all the same. The wind is getting up too.
Started to write this diary up to here, then to finished off yesterdays.
Boy, then did the ailments all kick-off together? After such a good day yesterday, they were back with a vengeance.
Within about 20 minutes, more arrived. Not many of them missed me. It started with the Rumbling Grumbling Innards, suddenly from nowhere attacking. The other infirmities had obviously got jealous. Hehe! Duodenal Donald (The worst of them all this morning), Reflux Roger and Anne Gyna joined them then.
I knew something like this would happen. After such an easy pain-wise day, the EQ told me I would suffer later. Humph!
Checked and responded to the Emails and did some WordPress reading.
CorelDraw opened, and a new TFZer graphic started off.
0841hrs: Had a wee-wee and nipped out on the balcony to take a photograph.
The new camera has a lens that’s too large to stick through the bird netting square.
It was beginning to look a bit more likely for some rain to come now.
Back to the graphicalisationing. The most 
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.
Hours later the towels arrived from Amazon, and I got a double sided letter through the door.
I assume this to be the one in the communal passageway to the three flats. (Bottom)
I hope it is anyway, but the other two tenants still have theirs outside the doors?I could lose my £100 Good Tenants Reward.If
I could lose my £100 Good Tenants Reward.
If I do not remove it in 24hrs, she says she’ll be returning to check, they will remove it and maybe charge me for doing so.
I cannot see anything about doormats on the list of rules on the back of the page. Must be included in another word in there.
Bit worried now.
All to do with Fire Precautions.
All of the flats I’ve seen have one outside their door, and this one was left by Margaret, the previous tenant.
Feeling down, depressed and a little rattled by this. Surely, the woman could have just put a note on the board and told us more clearly face to face, and use threats if we then failed after having it explained to us? Anyway, I’ve moved it indoors now. So in the event of fire; If I do trip over it, this will be inside the door instead of outside the door. Humph!
I have no problem with the actions demanded, just the way they were intoned.
Got the dinner on and opened the packet with the towels in that had arrived.
Of course, one of the packets had split open, and I had the pills of towels all over the place. Tsk!
The 100 pills paid for in the split bag, added up to 94. Unless there are more, I cannot find from when they scattered on opening?
Getting niggly am I now!
Did more prep work for the next TFZer graphic series.
The fodder was ready to be served up, it took so long with the fingers playing-up, that it was cold by the time I’d got it served up. So I popped it back into the oven, luckily I’d had to use the pot dish to contain the extra gravy, and got it warmed through a bit before consuming it.
Beef pie, beef and gravy (canned), garden peas boiled potatoes, made and added some caramelised onion gravy and sliced some beetroot to have with it. Excellent results despite the rewarming being needed.
Did the Health Checks. And guess what?
A Whoopsedangleplop! with the pain-gel. It’s hard to believe, I know, me having an Accifauxpa isn’t it? The tube tip split as I was applying it to the knees, and shot a jet of it straight into one of my slippers. Missed everything else, just in the footwear.
It’s a comfort to know that despite the slipper having to be thrown away, it didn’t die in pain. Hahaha!
I forgot to record the readings of the checks, so did them again after consuming the fodder. Looked alright, but maybe the temperature was a little low at 28.8f – Then again, surely being too high is the thing to fret about?
Trying to watch the TV when I settled down, was even more ridiculous than usual. Why I bothered trying to watch anything confused even me. A minute awake, ten asleep, two awake, five asleep, fifteen asleep, five awake… on and on it went like this, with me stubbornly determined to try and stay awake to watch things I had no interest in seeing?
Humph! TTFN.
By the way, no rain came at all today.
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.
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.
