Dull

After such an exciting morning I have had nowt to do this afternoon. Tra la la. So being bored I made a couple of important to me web-pages, the first talking about writing the date and then one on a Mini that I had never seen before

Alone

And this morning I managed this "shopping alone" thing again, taxi into town, haircut, shopping in Aardvark, shopping in the market for an adapter then came home. All by myself!!!

And gosh but the women in Aardvark were very helpful as I couldn't carry my basket and walk at the same time, and I had to leave my 'chair in the street outside

Freya

And then this afternoon Freya came in for a visit. She had a strange visit, she was pleased to be here but while she was here I read some more from my pile of stuff, some of which were notes from Freya's mum saying how she would love me forever etc

And I have finished now, I no longer have anything from the past sitting on my desk or the seat next to it

Wow

So this morning I asked when the wheel-chair fixer was coming, they asked and said "Any time today" so I thought "No, can't wait, got to shop and be back before Freya comes". So..... so I phoned a taxi and took myself, by myself, to the supermarket. Then, after I came back the wheelchair fixer came here and tightened my brakes. But it was the first time in over 7 years I have been trusted to shop alone. I thought "No, not Tesco as it is too big" but I went to Morrison's instead and could cope

Book

Good lord. Well I have just started reading the first bbook I have read in over 7 years. It is hard work, there seems to be a lack of continuity between the end of 1 line and the beginning of the next, but I can just about manage. And it has gotta be said, the Introduction to the current edition of The Colour Purple is fu*king excellent. I have read some more, her letters to god and I am impressed. And she seems to be a heathen so far so I am relaxed too

Blinkin' Flip

So this afternoon I asked a MOS to help me with sorting out some paperwork that was piled up on the chair. Firstly I was able to throw away some shit from the court 12 years ago. Then I was able to put together some "stuff to be kept". THEN I started looking through "Neil's blue book of stuff". And "Wow". It is very good, contains poems by me, Julia, both of us, other people and loads of "my thoughts" from way back then. Just "Wow" again.I tried scanning it, most of which looked shit but one worked, at last

And a few more now...

Fixer

And someone came to see me this morning with a note saying "Wheelchair fixer off sick, another person is coming tomorrow" so......

Just to make you happy

Look at this

Curious

I was outside tonight, in the first cool air that I have felt today, and there was a chap who came to see someone across the road, with him he had a strange four footed walking stick. Now I dunno how it feels different but perhaps I could use one with my right hand?

Thrill....

Mmmm....

Later

So this afternoon has been a bit less thrilling. But I can't find any folk clubs online....

And this evening was a bit dull too....

What a morning

Well I woke up, got up, had breakfast then almost immediately today's visitors arrived, Ruth, Athan her young son and my Toby. It was great to see them all, after an hour Ruth left Toby there for another couple of hours until his lift arrived. But Toby was talking somewhat about his experience, I know it wasn't my fault but I feel guilty anyway

And he did say that he was (obviously so upset) to changing his name to Stockman by deed poll

Dentist

We found the dentist. Before he started I said "Accident 7 years ago, some teeth fell out". He looked and said "Root" 3 times meaning that was all that was left. He said you can either leave them or if you want us to remove them...... but I have loadsa work to be done on the rest anyway. Ahhhh.

He also suggested I but another electric toothbrush to make brushing more effective....

Later

Then I had a thrilling morning. This afternoon I have to go to the dentist, I will have to say that my teeth were a bit wonky anyway when when I had a crash I lost 1 altogether and 3 more that just left a bit of a flipping tooth in my mouth. (Scared)

Early

And I had just got up, only 1.5 through putting my boots on, when there was a knock on the door, it was a chap to fix my "Calling for help" machine which he did. It still sez the wrong time but he will ask someone who is coming here next week to fix that

Noisy Evening

And I am going out to play in a Folk Club come-all-ye kind of night soon......

And it was excellent.....

Quiet afternoon

I had a quiet afternoon until someone knocked on the door as I was about to pooh. I held in, answered the door and saw Alex. We chatted, he invited me over to his house for dinner one night etc. After he left I then had a pooh

Quiet Morning

And this morning I woke up at about 8.15 and got up. Shortly afterwards, before I had even got brekky, the postman came. Now the letters he delivered were important enough that after I had spoken to a number of MOS about them I eventually had a late brekky.

Dinner

Today in Aardvark I bought a tin of minced tomatoes, an onion and some mushrooms. In Tesco I bought a Naan bread.
Tonight I am making a pizza from scratch, I am a bit scared and intimuidated but I am sure it will be fine.

And it was luvely, if a bit strange looking

Morning

Well, we had a good morning today, quite early I saw Jackie, she took me to town in her car. First of all we parked a smidge illegally then I got out of the car, stood up and walked into Aardvark where I bought some ORGANIC veg, some O bread, some O milk, some O dates etc. Then we went off in the car, she parked outside a charity shop and took in my 2 panniers and my tank bag, hopefully someone will but and appreciate them. THEN we went to Tesco's (spit) where I bought some booze and not much else, a couple of ready meals
