I'm going offline in a short while. My internet access is via a '3' dongle and I buy data in 3GB chunks that tend to last 2 weeks at a time (and cost £15). I would have bought another 3GB this morning but I've put that on hold courtesy of the generosity of someone I'm be honoured to call a friend and who I've had a lot of respect for for years.

As the smell was pervading my room in spite of the door being shut and the window open (in spite of the -2C temperatures outside) I wandered down and leaned over the two strangers to grab my duvet cover and open the window of the front window ( Read more... )

I'm having a duvet day because I haven't really stopped at all for over a week and I hit my stamina limit. Everything has just got on top of me and I need to take a step back for a day. On the way back here from home last night I got a slowish puncture in my back tyre and need to deal with that so I've allowed that to be an excuse for the day ( Read more... )

A wonderful day. I left this place at about 8am and was at home by 9:30 (I went via Sainsbury's and Asda). Jo got a late breakfast in bed of bacon butties which the girls and I also filled up on.

My GP gave me Amoxicilin this morning. I get light headed and woolly for a while after I start taking it so at about 5pm I made dinner and then fell asleep.

As I was heading off to sleep I was aware of $housemate coming in and starting to clunk around. 5 hours later he has woken me up yelling into his phone and then throwing up noisily. The place ( Read more... )

The driver promised to contact me the next day to pay for the damage and given that the police had all of his details I trusted to that to make sure the ( Read more... )

Bored with the TV and feeling the pull of a meteor shower and a cloudless night I wrapped up warm, grabbed my camera and tripod, and headed out for the nearest place with no street-lights about a mile away.
I walked down the Great Central way towards Aylestone park. On the way I was trying to find Orion as that is the region where the majority of ( Read more... )

This time last week I was in a huge amount of pain, backing away from the world and switching off ( Read more... )

J has a few of his friends around. They cleared the living room and were praying when I got in from shopping. All 6 of them on their mats. I apologised and asked if it was OK to bring my shopping through to the kitchen ( Read more... )

The baby that cries up to 18 hours a day was preying on my mind on Friday so I told my probation oficer because I couldn't find a better way to get the baby some help. I even recorded the plaintive cries ( Read more... )
