A few words on last nights Euro Final

Losing the match was such a shame,

But it was a marvellous game,

England could not win within the timeframe,

A penalty game, now to start who to blame!.

No one is worthy of blame or shame!

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

I was proud of our lads; their spirits did not wane,

From Darren, Stirling to Harry Kane,

Losing must have been a pain,

But Hero Status they did gain!

Will it be 55 years before a final, again?

To me, the match was extramundane!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I used this mornings photo of the view to express how I feel after the heroic efforts of England. The daybreak was bleak, which is how I was.

But there's no way that I can feel ashamed of our team! Great effort, lads!

Monday 12th July 2021

05:30hrs: I slowly reassociated my brain to the wakefulness demanded of me... But the clinomania, as for the past three days, won the day. I hastily dropped back into a slumber...

05:50hrs: Even more reluctantly, the eyes crept open, and brain thought of the possibility of waking and getting up - Dysania Wins Again, off to kip!

06:10hrs: A smidgeon of interest was shown this time. I thought of last nights football match, started to relate to things that needed doing - then I nodded off yet again!.

06:25hrs: At this fourth attempt to fully stir back into semi-life, the need of a wee-wee helped me decide to abandon the recliner, get on my feet, and meander over the few paces to the grey, nocturnal wee-wee bucket.  The leak was of the WDFL (Weak-Sprinkling-Fountain-Like) evacuation that needed some encouragement to start flowing. But no suffering of any PM (Pre-Micturitional) or CM (Cessational Micturitional) dribbling.

Ablutions tended To A Stand-up.

Too early to use the shower due to the noise of the motor and draining bothering other tenants. I was going to use the prescription toothpaste, but when I took the cap off, I realised I had to use a standard-shaped brush. I spent ages searching for one. I am sure I have several of them somewhere... but where is the mystery bit! After around twenty minutes of searching, I gave up.

As I was finishing off and getting dressed...

Morning Carer Arrived

She was in a professional mode today. Soon had me sorted, managing to have a mini-natter as she finished the job off. ♥

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Industrious Activity Yes!

I got the waste bags made up and onto the box to go to the chute later in the day. 

Had another wee-wee... Can we take it that I wee-wee'd approximately every half hour throughout the day? 

Then, got the kettle on and had another wee-wee.

I Started To Prep the Fodder

Small potatoes into the crock-pot.

Peas podded, with the loss of only two escapee peas. May never see them again.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Health Checks Done

A bit of a shock on the Blood Pressure?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Waste Bags To The Chute Room

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Porcelain Throne Attended

The legs looked little weather-beaten?

Still, the evacuation was one of the easiest in months or even longer. The recycled toilet paper was still reluctant to go down!

Started on This Blog

Began with making the Ode

I spent many hours getting nowhere fast after that. For the attacks from my beloved, but painful  Shuddering-Shoulder-Shirley started. She was very persistent as well! Along with the persistent multiple wee-wees, they proved to an annoying trait that I could have done without!

I battled bravely away. And, when I'd had enough frustrationalisationing, I went to make a brew and check on the potatoes and peas.

Well, blow me, what did I see upon the kitchen floor? I got the camera.

Is it? Can it be?

Yes! It was one of the missing peas! Probably edging its way to a hidey-hole? Haha!
My EQ warned me that substitutes and out of stock products will be rife on Thursday... no,  on Wednesday 14th when this arrives.
Of course, this didn't bother me... much!

Made an order for Iceland

Back onto the Computer

Well, that was the plan, anyway. But I see that Liberty-Global, who owns Virgin Media, had other ideas, and the internet went down!


I Got My Nosh Prepped & Served Up

Orange & red tomatoes, fresh garden peas, gherkins, new potatoes, German smoked ham, silverskin onions and pickled shallot.

Not too much. I kept myself under semi-control on this one, sizewise, I thought.

I ate it all up and wished I had not kept myself under control sizewise. Hahaha!

Settled Down For A Snooze

Well, that was the idea. The Thought Storms that were brewing erupted. My brain was tested too much for any proper kipping to be achieved.

After an hour, at long last, it seemed I was about to clear the head and drift off...

The Door Chimes Rang Out

The evening Carer Arrived, the same gal as this morning. Turns out that carers had not come in again, so the calls had to be shared amongst the loyal few again! Poor Gal! She'd done 13-hours already today! I thought earlier that she was a little stressed. ♥ She's a trooper! ♥ Soon had me done. She was a smidge happier now.

  1. A dank morning might tomorrow become a Besten Dank Morgen? The reports still bring more ways to talke about THAT game. Enough said already perhaps.
    However, I did like how you mentioned individual football players who must not be forgotten in the chum of old and unpleasant news.
    Wot gives with that danged BP reader. A nearly 30 point increase...but tomorrow ia another day according to the calendar. Specifically, a Tuesday.
    Methinks I nearly predicted a rogue pea looking for asylum, they are just that kind of creature it seams. And not endangered species by the number of peas cooked in the kitchens of 72.
    Good colors on the nosh items today. Mayhaps a few more minerals will get into yer system, that is wot they say anyway. Hey, I managed to end that sentence with a rhyme worth a dime.
    Hello tomorrow!

    1. Aye, the lads did their bestest, but after so many years of winning nothing - they did we;; tpo get to the final. At least we didn't lose to France. Hehehe!
      Tuesday, you say... hang on... yes Mr Google agrees. Har-har!
      Cunning little things them peas, varmints as you may well call them. Cicadas might like them to eat?
      Ah, the Odes sneaking in there, mate! I like 'em!
      See you later alligator... ♫ Or would that be crocodile in your neck of the woods?
      Keep safe, Sir!

      Still, never mind.
      Hope all well, with the clan. TTFNski, mate.
