Feeling a chill, heating pad for a bit then bed. 3rd : Not sure why, but I can't keep warm, feeling cold despite heating pad and electric over blanket. Also feeling very achy, don't know what's wrong. 5pm - Was getting something out of the kitchen cupboa...

There are some racist people about, what the hell is wrong with people? I replied to a comment, and my reply was removed - unbelievable! I reply in a positive way on someone's negative post to try to turn their comment around, and 'vanish' goes my response! In our multicultural world, our multicultural community, we all need to respect one another and get along. Seems not everyone can see the good. Yes there may have been issues with a few, but it don't make them all the same. Some people CAN'T handle facts, one person was saying Halal goods fund terrorism, I found something that casts doubt on that and my comment was removed.... MULTIPLE times, so here it is.... From The Guardian: In an opinion article titled 'Terror in the Tucker Box', Nationals MP George Christensen questions whether shoppers who buy goods with the halal logo are funding a push for Sharia law – or even backing terrorists. Christensen says "there's no way to know where...

My back and neck killing me. I feel like shit this morning. 😭 Edit -  I need to get out of bed for my meds, and just discovered my right hip hurts too 😩 Finally.out of bed at around 11am, achy and my mind elsewhere. Been asked to decide on insurance cover for my father's house for the period going forward, how on earth can I even think about that in my mind state? I feel like going back to bed 😥 feel like 🤯 3rd : Day of Dad's funeral - Not too sure how I will get through today. Got a thumping headache and I feel sick again, neck and shoulders in agony and left hip too.  My sister worked wonders for after the funer...

John England was father to Philip and Gill,  and grandfather to Luke, Cody and Crystal.   He was born in February 1943 in Uxbridge,  but sadly passed away in September 2025 in Llanelli. In his life he was a delivery driver who delivered beverages to the Queen Mother, was a green grocer and also a wood machinist, and went door to door selling Kleeneze products too.  He will be missed by all those in his life. My sister worked wonders for after the funeral, and I want to tgank her and my brother in law, as well as the kids and everyone that came to the funeral and the after part too.

Not too sure how I will manage but lets see shall we. Been a long and stressful day, with wmotions pulled from one way to the other. Put my head on the pillow tried to close my eyes, couldn't. Gonna be a long night. Cone on tablets make me drowsy... please   5th : Not been update to my blog last few days due to my Dad being in hospital, sadly he passed away this morning. I wasnt there when he passed, I wanted to be, I am sort of beating myself up for it, but it was out of my control. I think he went when he did so I didn't see it, he knew what I was like when Mum passed. I will miss my Dad. I feel holl...

1st : Another new month. I nodded off about 5pm yesterday, woke at 11:30pm, nodded back off at just after midnight, just woke again. Bit achy this morning, but need to get sorted as have to do tip run with friend at about 10:30am for 11am booking, need to get there for 10am I guess. When you hit a pot hole and do yourself a mischief - back, neck and shoulder pain made worse, you think exercise will help it but no, so a rest will have to be tried instead. Not feeling the best this evening so off for an early night. In sheer agony and feeling sick with it. Nighty night everyone 😔 2nd : Not feeling too good, upset stomach and very achy, that better improve. Things to do later, so must push through. Only I can sneeze and put my back out 😩 had things to do outside this afternoon too. Well I managed to move my tubs outside ahead of the wind that is due from tomorrow until early hours of Tuesday, though my back is now even more achy. 3rd : Not too good but better than yesterday,...
