INCHIES DAY: Wednesday 6th October 2021

♥ TFZer POOL CAR - I love it! ♥

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

WEDNESDAY 6th OCTOBER 2021

05:10hrs: I woke with Thought Storms still floating about, but not necessarily bad ones this time. More things to consider; the J Sainsbury order is coming, the City Council election tomorrow, how do I get there? Which all faded as the need for a wee-wee arose, needing an urgent response if I was to get to the nocturnal grey bucket in time!

I barely made it! The bladder was telling me to anticipate a hose-pipe-like rush of liquid... But a pathetic, painful trickle was all I could manage - but they were persistent throughout the day.

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

Computerisationing

Wash, cleaned and sanitised the bucket, making sure to replace it near the computer for convenient access. I was well-pleased with the hobbling and state of the feet this morning, much betterer! Even though the swelling was at last almost gone, the pale, sallow, blanched colour of them as a bit of a shock to me, they are usually more coloured on waking up, and lose it during the day? Blimus, I hope not!

Then got on with photo input and updating yesterday's blog.

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

Updating Was A Long Slog

Although I did feel somewhat better physically this morning, and very few of the ailments were bothering me, my concentration was kaputt! There were so many! Grammarly came back online later; oh, you should have seen it, 166 grammar and  14 spelling mistakes to correct! Humph! So many errors were made, missed and found later... but I bet I still missed some of them.

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

Mug Of Thompsons Punjana

Kitchen window view. Looks almost incredible to me!

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

Template Working

As I started on the template creation (better late than never?) I realised it was gone eight o'clock and no Carer had called yet this morning? Did a bit of work on it, and the urge for another cuppa came over me. S I went to make a Glengettie.

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

Morning Carer Arrived

Came in without ringing the buzzer, and I nearly dropped the mug as she went into the kitchen. Hahaha!

It was Caroline, who got the medications sorted, and we had a natter. Thanked her, and she took two waste bags to the chute on my behalf, Bless her. ♥

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

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

Replying To An Email Via Lisa

And guess what happened...

Liberty-Global Went Down Again!

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

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -.

Well-Miffed Now!

So, I did some Corel Drawing. I got one graphic done, which took me about half an hour, then the internet came back on. Yes, it can happen sometimes! By now, I wasn't sure what I'd done, not done or was needed to be done, and felt done-in, mentally!

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

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

An Email From Morrisons!

I think I ended up paying more than they initially charged before knowing of all the unavailable & substitute stuff?


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

The Food Arrived!

The driver soon got the stuff in my box and bags for me, put them through the door as well, bless him. Thanked him, offered a thank you can of plonk or non-alcoholic, but he said no thanks.

Got the bags and box in the kitchen without much bother. (Smug Mode)

Got the fridge filled up, too full, mayhaps?

The biscuit bin is now filled!

Same with the potato box...

The concealed and well-hidden away from the nurse's naughty nibbles bin was really full now. Guilt-Mode!

The cleaning cupboard was stocked. The £1, 420ml Apple Orchard washing up liquid, substituted for the 50p 500ml Lemon one, spilt out as I put it on the shelf... I did larf! Cragnangles!

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

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

Concentrated On Facebook

It was not easy, they have changed some actions again! So when You want to put the photos in a gallery, the whole gallery appears, which takes ages to scroll through. To get to make the last picture, just put it on the album as a header... Humph! Spent a few hours catching up.

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

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

Back On CorelDraw

More Graphics are needed.

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

Renamed The Page Tabs

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

Good Heavens - Fatigued!

No idea whats caused it, but I instantly felt drained, heavy eye lidded, weak almost?

Time for a sit-down and mug of Thompsons Punjana tea, methinks. Oh, dear!

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

Almost Collapsed in The Recliner

Into what seemed a deep sleep in minutes, yet the wild dreams started. I still seemed to feel so much better when I woke, after maybe two hours of kipping and hunger, pangs panged! Haha!

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

A Much Waited For Treat!

I sliced some boiled potatoes and put the last of Peruvian pean on top of the ready meal - oh, and added a little black bean sauce to the mix halfway through the cooking time in the microwave. Bootiful! It tasted even better than the beef in black bean sauce last week.

Taste Rating: 8.9/10!

Not up to Sister Jane's risotto, but the closest I've ever had to it.

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

Decided To Do The Ablutions

Disaster - Plans Ruined

I put the shirt I had been wearing in the sink; to leave it to soak while I did the ablutioning. Crap! The hot water was cold!

I rushed into the kitchenette, and sure enough, I'd left the hot water tap running!

My self-esteem sank, and self-hatred grew! What a pillock!

I'd put the shirt and liquid soap in the wet room sink. So, got it in a bucket and transferred it to the kitchen sink, and I did a cold wash and hanging messy, floor splashing session on it. Grrr! 

Of course, this put an end to my getting the ablutions done tonight. Why do I bother! I'd hoped to get them done to save time in the morning so that I could get out to vote good and early... Grobbleackers!

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

He's been giving it some bashing today!

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

Evening CArer Arrived

I was making a mug of tea to celebrate getting the kitchen cleaned up and try to forget my stupidity in leaving the tap running... Yet Again!

'Twas Valerie. Not seen her for a while. She came in without pressing the door chime, a good job that I wasn't taking a wee-wee at the time. Haha!

Valerie got the medications sorted out and was soon off on her rounds. She took the bag of waste to the chute for me on her way out, bless her♥.

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

09:25hrs, Still at it!

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

Got on with updating this blog

It took a few hours, but I got there in the end. Posted it of and tried to go on Facebooking, but the connection seemed to be bad for some reason.

Evening All!

Inchies Day: Friday 1st October 2021

TFZers Stocking Up With Essentials?

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

Thursday Evening

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

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.

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

Balcony Photo's

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...
