FRIDAY 1st OCTOBER 2021

05:10hrs: Woke with the aches and pains of last night Accifauxpas from the tumble, reminding me to try and get out for some Co-Codamols. Now I am more determined to do so! Of course, with my luck, anything can happen to destroy my plans... and often do, but there you are!

I got the nosh on for later

A wee-wee of sorts, weak and unwilling, yet plenty hen it did flow. Got the mushrooms cut and seasoned in the saucepan.

Then the potatoes in the Crock-pot.

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

Whoops! Hey-Ho! The SYS and Pulse have shot up a little again.

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

Bloated Feet improving?

Carer Called

It was Katie today. She seemed in a good mood, and after taking the tablets, we had a natter for a while.

Started On This Blog

Time getting on now. Decided to get the ablutions done. I don't want to be late getting the CoCodamols, must get back for the Foot Lady in Winwood Court.

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

Ablutions

Oh, what a pleasant session for once! Throughout the whole performance, nasal, teeth, shaving, showering, medication and dressing, I believe there were n more than 15 dropsies - possibly a record that the United Nations should be informed of! Hehehe! Or not.

A few cuts shaving, one clout of the shoulder on the power box, but nowt serious. The medicationalisationing had the same agonisticalness when 'Ointmentating' Little Inchies fungal lesion, but that never changes, of course.

Sorted Out The Needs

Bus pass, money, list, etc., got ready for the hobble into Sherwood; in fact. I might get a bus down this time. Gathered everything needed in my pockets and the bag of the walker guide and set off... I got to the bus stop and realised I'd just missed one. Shame! So I walked down.

Rough Pavement

I took my first photo on Winchester Street.

Needed all my concentration to keep upright with the trolley. Got down into Sherwood and took this.

whoopsiedangleplop!

I must have taken a dozen more photographs along Mansfield Road. But my story of the trip shall have to remain pictureless! For some reason, when I got back to the flats, I realised that none of the photos was on the camera card?

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

Called into Boots

Got some C&P pain tablets.

Looked in the Continental Store. Then the Scouts Charity Shop neither had anything of interest for me.

The up to the Co-op. Got Rustlers, potatoes, and Sourdough bread with tomatoes in it.

Up to the Birds cake shop and got a cream cake for Deana. Then further up, to Wilko - and talk about empty shelves! They had none of the three things I was interested in purchasing. Tsk!

Then, a masterstroke of genius! I hobbled up to the top of the hill, and I called in Lloyds Chemist. And got another box of Co-Codemol! 8mg/500mg!

Bus Stop

Where I had a long wait for the40 bus to arrive. Surprisingly, no residents of the flats were there? But got on en route.

Back at the flats on Chestnut Walk, I got the camera out again and realised the pictures taken were not on the SD card at all anywhere - Grumbleturds!

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

Through THe Link Passage

Deana wasn't available. She'll be out sorting things somewhere. I can bring the cake down later when I go to the foot lady.

I went through the link passage, and at the other end, I found some repairs ere being done on the swipe door.

Three tenants were there ahead of me to the lift, and they got in the first lift that came. I caught the next one and up to the flat... to find a letter had been delivered; I got in and investigated...

From Optician

Suddenly telling me, I need to have my eyes tested again. I needed to have my head tested if I was stupid enough to go back to him again, after the way I was treated by his female partner last time. A long story, but you've all had a load of tripe put up with today... I'll not bother you with it.

Got The Purchasers Away

Not a lot of shopping is there?

Had Wilko had the freshener granules, Zoflora lemon disinfectant, any bleach at all of any brand, I would have spent a lot more than I did... I think?

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

I Make a Brew of Glegettie...

And started to update this blog. Hard work, with so many photographs missing, I use them as a memory prompter.

The Nokia Burst Into Life!

My Nokia 9 Pureview Mobile, with its Android (Pie) updatability, Corning Gorilla Glass 5, Octa-Core Gold CPU, 4K@30fps, 1080p@30fps, HDR video, USB Type-C 3.1, %x12 MP. 28mm Camera, Bluetooth, A-GPS, Fingerprint (under display, optical), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer, Li-Po 3320 mAh, non-removable, fast charging 18W, Quick Charge 3.0, USB Power Delivery. Fast wireless charging 10W, Qi Battery... No, hang on, that might be the wrong name...

It was Warden and desk-top dancer, Deana, to remind me of the foot appointment at 16:00hrs. She added that they can do me now if I go down - so I did!

Took the cake for Deana and cans of plonk for the Hairdresser and Foot Gal, Sarah. Which, of course, might just possibly not be the correct name?

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

Core Blimey!

I've had teeth pulled with less pain!

And then paid £25 for the pleasure, and gave them a can of plonk each?

Dropped the cream cake off for Deana, who was on her own again, and up to the neck in it. Bless her cotton socks!

Back to the flat.

Fire Alarm

I had a peep out of the window, no signs of any emergency vehicles about. The Ode folk chinwagging and having a fag.

There was activity at the end car park, though; I took a photo, then realised I had put the camera battery on charge, so I replaced it and tried again...

Waste Bags To The Chute

Back To The Flat

The sun had come out now. I stood practising my apophenia and pareidolia, and in the first photograph, I thought I'd identified a bird... but I can't find it now?

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

Time To Get Some Nosh!

So, I did!

Tasty, a rating of 7.2/10!

Carer Arrived

Helen, I believe. Much chatting on the marsh tonight! Tsk! I cannot recall much about the visit. I really was all done in from my little hobble into Sherwood.

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

Head Down

Slept through for over five hours, woke up, disentangled my flobby-torso from the recliner, not needing a wee-wee???

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

To The Disappearing Photos

I took a shot of the queue at the bank,

In the Co-op, of a leg of lamb shank,

Rubbish in the gutter, Gawd, it stank!

Walked into a tree with a clank,

The take-away's new fish tank,

Chocolates for Nora, Jenny and Frank,

Bought potatoes, which later tasted rank!

Got Cocodamals, for which I did thank,

Other photos, but the mind's gone blank,

Got back to the flat, my spirits sank,

Where had the photos gone, as if a prank,

I've no idea: I'm as thick as a plank...
