INCHIES DAY: Monday 11th October 2021:

♥ TFZer Nancy Dismounting ♥

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

TUESDAY 11th OCTOBER 2021

00:04hrs: Working on this template.

01:30hrs: Got the template finished.

Not too bad at all. Pulse down a smidgeon, SYS as well. Jolly Good!

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

Graphic Creating

Onto Coreldraw. Got a header done and two sub graphicalisations done.

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

Made A Brew

Glengettie this time and had a few shortcake biscuits; well dunked naturally. I knew I'd need something more substantial later, lurking hunger pangs!

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

Began this blog

03:15hrs: I started on today's diary. I had been going along nicely previously, but Saccades began giving out the blurred vision, which slowed everything down terribly. Created many errors and mistakes as well. Hey-Ho!

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

The Dreaded Hum!

Only heard it a few minutes ago, but it's back with a vengeance this morning! Louder than ever! A Constant running-fan like noise. It seems to be flipping more annoying than ever, as well!

Cragnangles!

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

Back On CorelDraw

04:00hrs: Another go, see how things go with Saccades. Oh, no! Abandoned these plans, sight nothing like good enough!

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

The Plates Are PAinful?

As to why the feet should suddenly kick-off, I know not, but they indeed have!

The flash came on the Kodak as I took this photo; the feet tone came out looking slightly more vivid than it really was. You can't win... well, not me! The right foot, I fear, is building fluid again. The itching from under the skin has returned too! 

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

Brekkers Needed

A BBQ microwave Rustler, perhaps? Yes, that'll do me. Get it before the morning carer arrives.

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

But The Morning Carer Didn't Arrive!

Around 0810hrs, no carer called. I was fighting off falling asleep, but not for long, and drifted off into a dream-filled sleep. Annoyingly, yet again, I can't remember what the dream was about.

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

Sprung Awake!

11:00hrs: I shot awake, with the thought-storms rampant! I was fully cognisant of the missing Meridian carer. This concerned me a bit. Doubts crept into my ponderings... had I somehow locked the flat door? Had a carer been and not pressed the door chime, it does fail sometimes. I rose from the £300, second-hand, c1968, cringingly-beige-coloured, not-working, rickety, rusty, incommodious, grotty recliner and hobbled to check the door.

No, not locked, I tried the buzzer, and it rang out the reasonably loud 'Oh, my darling Clementine' tune. Back to the front room, I trudged, confused again now. I thought I was doing well.

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

Ablutions Sorted

Really, I'd gone to the wet room to visit the Porcelain Throne initially. But things were rock solid, and despite the innards telling me it needed an evacuation, it seems that Constipation Conrad was in charge! The innards being blocked, my be due to a tablet I've not taken yet? I took one of the Dioctyl ® Poo-softeners.

So, I got the ablutions tended to. A better session than for ages!

The nasal clearing went a smidge bloody?

The teeth cleaning was painful.

The shaving was a cracking job - I don't think I had a single cut or nick!

Showering had only two minor knocks. The first one was against the power box, the other one on the inner grab rail!

Both, caused by dropsies retrieving.

Overall, the dropsies totalled only about six incidents! A Smug-Mode! 

The right foot was still tender underfoot, mind you. Toe toes were looking chubby and seemed fluid-filled; here we go again, methinks. Tsk!

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

Titivated the kitchen

Walking was still causing me a bit of stinging underfoot, and my balance was not so good now.

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

Meridian Carers Called

After eleven o'clock, I rang the Meridian office located in Winwood Court to advise them of the missing carer. 

The lady said she'd send someone up straight away to me. 

Care gal Dionne came shortly. No point in my complaining, I know the problems they face with staff not coming in, holidays etc.

Dionne got the tablets sorted. She had to get back to the office, but she let me waffle for a minute first, and she took the waste bag to the chute for me as leaving. ♥

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

Computerisationing

Made a start on this blog at last.

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

Hunger Returns

I made the last ready-cooked roast vegetable risotto. I only had to microwave it. I added some peas, black bean sauce, sliced some spuds and the last of the yoghourts. By Gum, I live well, don't I? I will order some more later after my beloved afternoon nap.

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

Fatigue Attack Again

Getting regular theses are lately!

And yet once more, they were of the dream-filled stop and start, waking, nodding off again, waking... routine.

This time, I remembered bits of one of the dreams and scribbled on the recliner-side notepad. Oh, yes!

Unfortunately, I could not really understand anything I'd written due to my atrocious rushed handwriting.


I could read dream, Jill, five, and last or lost. Can anyone helpeth, please?

The Jillie mention was understandable. I still can't believe she didn't adopt me as her Grandad? Hehehe! ♥

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

Yet Another Cat-Nap!

I settled to watch something on the TV, and I think within minutes, I'd nodded off again this time, I seemed to sleep right through... For hours... Until being woken by Carer Carolynne, the TV still on, and my bloated Belisha beacon-like right foot stuck up on the back of the swivel chair?

The poor gal looked weary and tired again. Carolynne's been doing so many hours lately, bless her cotton socks ♥.

I rearranged my twisted body and limbs and rose up, using only the left foot to stand on, the right being so painful. I used two sticks to manoeuvre about for a while.

As I was getting the stuck up in the air leg down, I clunked it against the metal chair leg, and I uttered something like, "Well, thank you kindly for that, foot, did me a lot of good that did!" I'm so glad I did; cause Carolynne emitted a laugh! The medications were sorted, and a few words were exchanged. I offered Carolynne a choice of nibbles and plonk, and she took a waste bag with her to the chute for me.♥

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

Amazon-Morrison Order

I made up a Morrison order to be delivered by Amazon and was most disappointed to see that the Roasted Vegetable Risotto meals were not available online. Humph, and Gragglespitgurgle!

Of course, the tempting Beef in black bean sauce was, as I thought it might, available; it's £1.35 more to buy!

I have to say I was surprised at the total cost. I didn't think that I'd spent that much at all? Baffled once again!

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

Porcelain Throne Demand

Got the kettle on, made a mug of Thompsons Punjana, and left it to marinate and get good and strong. Off to the Porcelain Throne, with crossed fingers for a movement this time. Hehehe!

Went through the Risk Assessors orders this time. I got my knees up and waited for the result of doing so. Success!

It took a bit of effort to get things going, but the giant torpedo flowed, the pain eased, and great relief was enjoyed! Those Dioctyls sometimes work a treat!

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

Quarter Moon Observed!

I got the Kodak, and I toyed with the options... Getting myself more and more confused. I tried to get a distance and close shot of the moon.

As you can see, they were both abysmal failures. I tried several photographings' of each range, but these two were the only ones partly recognisable! Grumph!

Most annoying! Globblegripes!

Updated This Blog

Then went on Facebooking, getting in early before the Liberty-Global Virgin Internet started to go offline. 

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

Published Blog

Posted to Blogger - Sent Email link. And basically fell asleep. Hehe!

Inchies Day: Sunday 10th October 2021

♥ LILLIE BUYING MORE SHOES! ♥

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

SUNDAY 10th OCTOBER 2021

Woke Up Wanting A Widdle!

03:30hrs: The instant I woke, memories of a dream I'd been having flooded from the grey cells. Which was superseded with a strong and urgent need for a wee-wee; thus my the time I'd scrambled to my feet and reached the overnight emergency bucket, all memories of the dream had vanished. I hate it when that happens!

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

Prepping Josie's Meal

My culinary artistry preparations were started, with a rare enthusiasm, as well, oh, yes! There was no stopping me!

Charlotte potatoes into the slow cooker, sprinkle in with sea salt and a drop of Worcestershire sauce.

Leeks and tomatoes sliced ready...

Oops! Nearly forgot the water chestnuts!

Into the saucepan with the beans, peas, beef and my secret mix of flavourings. I will not reveal to any cordon bleu sous chef, hash-slinger mess sergeant or even to Gordon whatshisname!

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

Health Checks Tackled

No real complaints about the results this time, although up a smidgeon!

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

Waste Bags Bagged Up

Put it on the box near the door.

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

Made a Brew of Glengettie

Put a drop too much milk in it, but it didn't matter in the slightest. Cause I let it go cold whilst on the computer. Tsk!

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

Computerisationing

Comments answered, well, the one that had come in. (I get the feeling I'm not as popular as I once was? Hahaha!

Got the Saturday diary finished and checked through. Posted it to Blogger. Emailed the link and went on Facebooking.

I'm in an industrious mood this morning?

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

Wee-Wee, & Washing

I hand-washed the thin dressing gown. And hung it up in the wet room to drip dry. Too early to put the heater on because of the noise it makes, disturbing the neighbours.

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

Added Extra Leeks...

To the meal. Put some passata with basil in the mix and gave it a jolly good stirring, and I had a taste. Okay methinks.

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


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

Morning Carer Called

Katie, this morning. The gal had been on duty all night; no wonder she was late arriving, poor thing. This was her last call. She got the medications sorted, and she was still awake enough to see me drop a tablet as I took them all in one go, that muggings here had not noticed! Thanked her profusely! I got an excellent chinwagging session in with the gal as she relaxed a bit, having got all of her morning calls completed. A choice of nibbles and drinkie was offered. 

Julie took the bags with her for me.♥ 

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

Checked On The Stew

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

Tried To Get A Graphic Made

But, ran out of time, as Madam Josie's meal had to be tended to.

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

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

Meal Done Served & Delivered

Natter with Josie.

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

Wash

Feet looking much betterer!

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

Own Nosh Done

Enjoyed this one for one. Flavour Rating of 7/10 granted.

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

Fatigued

Put a Goodbye Sweetheart' DVD on. Got sat down to fall asleep, wake up. Rewind the DVD, fall asleep, wake up - rewind the tape... fall... for over five hours! I was still on the first episode I started on! Tsk!

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

Got Up

Titivated the kitchen, made a brew of Thompsons Punjana. And spent some time wondering if I got a phone call during my nodding-off marathon - or was it a dream? Or whatever?

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

Computer on

Sorting the above photos.

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

Evening Carer Arrived

19:20hrs: It was Carolynne. Got the tablets sorted, had a mini-natter; she looked a little tired, bless her. I asked her to take the bags to the chute on her way out. And she obliged me.

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

Evening Sunset Photos



Bootiful!

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

Finished this Blog-off

Mad a start on a new Ode I had in mind to create, but it didn't come easily, so I gave up. Any Ode that I struggle to put humour into is abandoned; forcing things does not bode well for a witty ode.

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

Facebooking

Spend a long time, mostly making mistakes and getting things so wrong, I thought I was going crazy. Which seemed logical to me at the time. Hehe!

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

Good Evening!

INCHIES DAY: Saturday 9th October 2021

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SATURDAY 9th OCTOBER 2021

Stirred With Stomach Ache!

It was very nearly 07:00hrs when I stirred back into ersatz life. The innards pointing out that they were unhappy with whatever it was I ate for supper last night with a borborygmic rumbling from within the intestines. Methinks the Porcelain Throne visit could be an interesting one when it comes to fruition? Hehe!

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

I Rose from the Recliner

The feet seemed to be a lot better this morning, not bloated much at all. Well, the right one, as I assess it, just might be in the process of trying to turn into a Belisha Beacon again. Hahaha!

Took a weak unwilling wee-wee.

Went onto the balcony to look at the oddly blue coloured sky. I used the much more complicated to get one's head around, Kodak camera. The Canon I put the battery on charge. How I got a different shaped picture, I'm not sure?

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

Smug-Mode-Applied! Three ambers and one green result. No Reds for two days.

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

Brew Made, Computing Started

Got in a pickle again with the pictures; I'd saved them to the wrong folder and had a job-and-a-half finding and changing them to the correct section. Humph!

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

Morning Carer Arrived

It was part-time student carer Selonge. I mentioned the tummy aches, but nothing was recorded about this in the log. Selonge got the medications sorted. We had a mini-chinwag, even raised a smile or two... no laughter yet, but I'm working on this. The gal took the waste bags with her to the chute; bless her!

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

Porcelain Throne!

Oh, what a gooey, messy, steaming, clingy evacuation that was! However, not painful, and no bleeding either! Just the cleaning up that bothered me; it took so long to get things right again.

Ablutionisationing

I decided as I was already in the wet room, to get the ablutions sorted out. 

The nasal clearing and teeth cleaning went pretty easily! A mixed bag of results:

The shaving went even betterer! Two, I say, just two tiny nicks shaving, and over the three tasks, just four dropsies! Grrreat! Double-Smug-Mode adopted!

Medicationings Well...

The Saccades eye drops were applied - mainly to the cheek, and it ran down through the moustache and into the mouth! Very little made it into the eyes!

Phorpain Gelling Arthur Itis' knees were done with no bother at all.

Germolene applicationing to the broken tummy skin folds was a pleasure!

Medicating Little Inchies fungal lesion was basically agony! Gragnangles! But then, it always is so painful!

Getting dressed was more straightforward than it's been for ages. Mainly due to Peripheral Petes' neurotransmitters being so kind!

The feet looked calm.

I noticed that a clump of galloping mini-blotches had appeared on the left wrist. I wonder what caused this?

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

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

Mobile Call from Jillie

It was heaven to hear her voice again. Significantly up to the neck in it, bless her cotton socks! The gal is very busy, getting things sorted and learning her new business, mostly running it from home. 

She told me if I needed any help to call her. But I don't like to if it can be avoided, as she is busy building up trade and learning new tactics.♥

I waffled on about Joe giving me the lift to vote, and Jillie and I were deep in conversation when the landline rang. Jill rang off to let me answer the landline.

Sister Jane Called On Landline

We had a chinwag, which I enjoyed. Nowt heavy, like.

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

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

Blogging Updating

Spent a few hours and started this Inchies Day off.

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

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

Fodder Time Cometh

But I resisted the temptation! Had a mug of Glengettie and shortcake biscuits.

Then got on CorelDraw to create some graphics for the TFZer site and these blog headers.

I got one done, then the fatigue and weariness came out of nowhere, suddenly done in, so tired? Had to get a meal sorted straight away, in case I faded any further.

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

Herbert giving it some bloody noise again, Grrr!

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

Fodder Time Cometh

Not as good as it looked in this photo. Might be my innards are the problem?

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

Nodded Off

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

Evening Carer Cometh

It was Valerie tonight. She woke me up, nice and gently - she may have thought I'd conked out, I guess. Hehe! Being half-asleep, I'm not fully aware of what happened. I recall offering her a treat and that she tool the waste bag out with her to the chute for me. Bless her!

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

Slept Through to 03:00hrs!

I can't recall ever having so much time spent with Sweet Morpheus!

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