SATURDAY 4th SEPTEMBER 2021

06:45hrs: I circumspectly returned to semi-wakefulness. Gathered what wits were available to me, and the Thought Storms vented with a sickening gusto! Hey-Ho!

What time and day is it, morning or afternoon? Why are there biscuit crumbs on your belly? Is the Carer due? Why do you not want a wee-wee? Why is the TV on? It's looking light; You should get up and sort things out... Ah, Shaddup!

The last thought that hit me was indeed a rarity of late; Do you realise that you have had nine hours kipping?

Good heavens, I had, too!

I rose from the c1968 recliner up onto my tootsies without too much hassle, well, the knees from the declutter's caused Accifauxpa were stinging still, but nowt else was hassling me.

A VAGUENESS LINGERED

I took some Paracetamol, Phorpained the knees and lower back, and took a good guzzle of gregariously innocuous  Peptac to counter Duodenal Donald. He was just kicking off with a few stabs of pain.

Put some Hemp oil under the tongue.

Kitchenette Window Shots

I took these three photographicalisations. First to the right, showing my balcony and the gravel footpath I can no longer manage to climb (sad, that!), to the North.

Then, an update on the new car park at the dead-end of Chestnut Walk. Then the car park down below, opposite Woodthorpe Court on Chestnut Walk. As I was putting the camera away, I espied some smoke coming up near the back of some gardens...

On reflection, I don't think it was a BBQ in someone's garden, not this early in the day. I reckon it might have been from the allotments, someone burning off?

Health Checks Sorted

Not a bad set of return figures again. I wish I could take credit for doing something right for once, but the truth is, I have no idea why the numbers are so good.

Potatoes At The Ready

I am determined not to nibble any before they are needed this afternoon. Will-power, that's what's required. Hahaha!

Porcelain Throne Visited

Eurgh! Messy! But no bleeding, and despite the size of the evacuation, the flush worked the first time. So, not so bad!

The plates and legs looked much calmer than yesterday too! 👍

Started The Computer

I brewed a Thompsons Punjana tea and got on the computer, just as...

The Morning Carer Walked In

Today, it being a Saturday... yes, that right, I've just checked on the calendar, it was the young part-time Carer Craig, who came to see to me. A student, I believe. He is good at the job, no doubt about that; When he gave me the medications to take, he remembered from his last visit to put them in a pot lid, as it is easier for me. In case I get Nicodemus's Neurotetransmitters failing and start shaking, or even giving an involuntary Hitler salute or two! Good bloke! 

Craig also noticed that I'd dropped one of the tablets (Codeine) and retrieved it for me after a two-man search we shared. Hehehe!

We had a short natter after he'd sorted me. I gave him some coin-cloths and a packet of bikkies for his bother, by way of thanks for his help.

Blogger Comments Answered

My two fans, Tim and Billum, had taken the bother to comment, bless them! I replied in kind, two good blokes.

Herbert Kicks Off

Tap, tap, clunk. Then a noisy, annoying long session of drilling. The tap-tapping and banging went on and off all day, so I need not mention it again in detail; I'll just type Herbert, you'll know.

Updated Inchies Day

It took me many hours, with being behind last night and not really up to concentrating on the job, then, and I got down for last nights much-needed sleep! Got the email link sent. Posted it off to Blogger. And caught up on the TFZer and Winwood Heights Facebooking pages.

Far too Many Mugs Of Tea!

I just could not help drinking so much. A first like I've not known before had grabbed a hold on me?

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

Herbert!

Started This Diary

It was well into the afternoon by the time I'd got around to creating this post. And nearing tea-time before I got as far as to here! I just can't get caught up!

Off for Another Mug of Tea!

Well, would you believe it!

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Some swine must have crept in and eaten by boiled potatoes from the cullender? The filthy gits! (Ahem!) Unless, of course... I actually ate them myself? No, surely not? Me? Being so naughty? (Double Ahem!)

Ablutionalisationing!

Another messy affair, for various reasons, the most frustrating was trying to find the things hidden so well by the declutterers - some things have never been seen since they left the flat! But everything that had been started, or was almost empty, have been left for me - all, but all the new, unopened stuff had disappeared.

Back to the Ablutioning

Doing the teeth, and shaving, were bloodless. Oh, Yes!

But, I ended up afterwards with an unaccountable tiny round shaped cut on my chest and some horrible red welts? These will have to remain a mystery.

No doubt, all a part of the "Mysteries of Woodthorpe Court"; the ghosts, wraiths, spectres, cacodemons, apparitions and other grotesqueries that seem to haunt the hallways and lobbies, apartments, searching for Inchie, to create ambiguities, abstrucities, perplexities, misfortunes and botherations, to scare, worry and confuse the hell out of me!

However, the plates were looking far better, and were the knees too!

I even had Herbert accompanying me. A mixture of rat-a-tat-tat with the od clunk thrown in. Didn't last long.

Laundered a thick shirt

Washed, wrung, all done and hung!

Back on The Computer

Had a quick look at the YourArea local news-rag email. Nowt worth bothering over, but got the Covid.

Covid is still about, though.

Evening Carer Awaited

They are not late, but sometimes one can manage to call earlier, and that's a blessing. Anyway, I now smell all nice for whoever it is that might come.

CorelDrawing

I Faffed about making changes to colour pallets but failed miserably to remember why I went on it in the first place.

Carer Valerie Cameth

I asked her if she's enjoyed her holiday and was it too short. Hehe!

Got me done with the medications. She had a look at the microwave sausage instructions, but I think she was struggling to read it as much as I was. She thought dong six sausages would take 20 minutes. No, not on the microwave. After the gal had gone, I did a search for the magnifying glass, and miraculously... no, I didn't find the darned thing anywhere.

But, I cunningly used a glass of water, well, bottle, to just about make out the instructions on the packet of sausages. I think it was 2.20mins for six from the fridge, six frozen for 3.50mins. So I can see how Valerie got confused, bless her cotton socks. ♥ Talk about small print!

Head Down - Drained!

Done in now. Really need some sleep. I left everything to be done in the morning, which may price an unwise decision, with Josie's meal to get ready as well, but fatigue won the battle tonight.

 Cancelled!

Swine!
