Inchies Day: Tuesday 15th June 2021: Graphics, Photographicalisations & the odd Ode

♥ TFZer Pantomime Time Star ♥

Tuesday 15th June 2021

I woke very late, at 06:15hrs - and had been in the Land-of-Nod for six hours bliss! (Stayed up very late to watch the football on TV).

Morning Ode in Rhyme of Sorts...

I opened my eyes, sensing incongruity,

Signs of Nocturnal nibbling, I did see,

In need of the Throne and a wee-wee,

To the wet room, I did flee,

Aha, the Iceland man delivereth to me!

He dropped the carriers in the hallway,

I slipped him a thank you, via a can of Vodka & berry,

Then to the kitchen, I fought my way.

Battled to get the stuff away, just a smidge,

Room to spare, I might say,

Within the kitchen fridge?

I got the Luxury, 'cheaper if one buys thee packs', English, baby salad garden potatoes on the boil in the crockpot... 

The writing on the front of the packets claimed: 'With a waxy texture and buttery taste!', but Iceland went a step further today; They supplied, free of charge: Blighted potatoes, as you can see, from the first 700g bag, I had to remove many of the spuds. These four below were the worst affected. Humph!

In fact, the second one on the left looked like it had a field mousses head coming out of the end of it. Hahaha! I'm surprised that Iceland didn't charge extra, let alone reduce the price!

Luckily the other packets didn't seem to have any of these 'Specials' in them. Hehe! I can safely take a package with the other bits down for Jenny, Norah's and Frank later after Morrisons arrive. By way of a thank you for Jenny's helpfulness in sorting things out for me.

Health Checks Completed

Just look at the figures!

Fantasmagorickle!

An equal lowest recorded Blood Pressure ever! All returns (bar the BP, of course) were in the green zone! Smug-Mode-Adopted!

Carer Nurse Natalie Arrives ♥

A different caller again this morning. Natalie was very gentle and calming and professionally issued the medication. She was helpful and listened to my concerns over the medication situation. I did mention that I may have got something wrong, but I could not help fearing running out of medications again. 

Bless her, she said she would try to get an early visit for the morning to get to the dentist in time for my appointment; thank you, Natalie. Then said she would call the chemist to see when the prescriptions are due. Also, she would call the doctors for me to sort out an agreeable to both parties appointment. How kind of her! ♥ Thank you again, gal!

As she looked out of the balcony, she pointed out where her home was, so after she had left, I took these photographs, she agreed to this.

Natalie's place is near the white building.

Amazon Morrison Delivery Arrived.

A friendly chap, Andrew delivered for me. I seem to have over-ordered again, Tsk! Six bags this time, not the usual four?

I thanked the man, and I got the parcels through to the kitchenette for unpacking.

The fridge was a bit fuller but still not to capacity. All those bags as well... obviously, I must have bought less fresh stuff, in my mission to reduce the canned foods in stock... not that it worked, I still bought more canned goods, chilli soup, and garden peas. Humph!

Waste Bags made, taken to the Chute. Jenny's Visited

Made a good dollop of waste bags up, filled the box on the walker-guide, took them to and deposited them down the chute.

Then popped down and left the bag near Jenny's flat, rang the bell and tapped on the door. Back to the lift and made a brew!

A quick wash - Ooh! the feet!

By gum, they looked good. Almost as if someone had swapped yesterdays for two new ones. Hahaha!

A PErusal of the Your-Area Emag for News  Snippets!

Ablutions then Football to Watch

Fell asleep. Tsk!

Woke up when the Evening carer arrived

The different carer again, Jane arrived. I explained about the dentist in the morning, she said she would look into things for an early visit in the morning. I didn't hear anything from morning gal, Natalie.

Handwashing Tackled

Got the handwashing done, to save time in the morning. I'm fretting over missing the dentist's appointment... Oh, dearie me!

Nosh Sorted & Enjoyed

It was hard work making this meal. Needing the slow cooker, and saucepan, then merging everything into a large pan to round off the cooking. But it was worth it! 

The tiny braising steak in onion gravy boil in the bag, and the salvaged potatoes with added beef seasoning to the gravy, rounded of to marinate. Three small wholemeal cobs to soak up the remaining gravy... Grrreat taste!

At last, a flavour rating of 8.5/10, the best one for weeks now. Wunderbar!

What an extremely long day?
