Another cool overcast day with the temperature struggling to get to the mid 20s.
A couple of things to do today, first a visit to the smash repairers to get a quote to get a ding knocked out of my car. It was someone else’s fault so it will cost me nothing. They are even quoting for re-powder coating the bullbar which I think is over the top.
Later I have to go to the Urgent care clinic to get the stitches out of my head and get the pathology results.
When I was coming out of the bathroom last night after a shower I thought I saw something move on the carpet in the hall. When I looked closely it was the cutest little baby Huntsman Spider only about 5 or 6cm across. He blended in with the rug, if he hadn’t moved I would never have noticed him.
I have officially 11 more days confined to my bed.
Two of my 3 helpers are well aware of this, the third is not.
There is a reason for this, today is my birthday, 74 today.
I was told I only had a 1 in 3 chance of making my 50th birthday.
I have been in pyjamas since Late September , so getting dressed will be in itself great.
So will a drive through coffee.
Simple pleasures, but they mean a lot.
I am determined to get out, just to be taken for a drive, I am fed up at staring at the same walls.
When you get older and suffer from more health issues the thing is to focus on what you can do, not on what you can’t do and always challenge what the ultra cautious medics tell you.
I am on a mission now to make the most of things.
My aim is to stay alive long enough to vote Starmer out.
Have a great day all and focus on what you can do, not what you can’t do.
Hello everyone,
I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I still think of all of you and miss you. The weather in Bangkok is actually quite nice today, at least for me. It’s not too hot, although I still need to turn on the air conditioner. The air feels rather dry, and the pollution levels outside the building are quite high, so I decided to order food delivery instead of going out. I really don’t feel like traveling anywhere today.
This morning I posted something on Facebook, but a close friend messaged me and suggested that I delete it. They felt it sounded like a sign that I might be feeling depressed. Sometimes we really need people around us to point these things out, because we don’t always realize that when we post sad or heavy thoughts, they may be coming from a gloomy state of mind and can linger in our feelings for a long time.
So I deleted the post and am about to write a new one that reflects more positive, vibrant energy. Does anyone else ever feel low because of the weather? I think I should turn the music up loud, get up, dance around, or do some intense exercise to lift my mood and bring the joy back again.
Sat here in London airport waiting to board our flight to New York. As usual, its hot, crowded with pushing queues for everything and rip-off prices for everything. Had an issue with security with my artificial hip, as always, which meant a pat-down and search, but at least managed to sort out all our passport issues from yesterday. Now we’re just hanging around until we board and the wife has already helped herself to the duty free shops.
Have a good flight and a great time in NY @Graham.
@Pimmy, when I’m feeling down I put on my favourite music at high volume and sing out loud at the top of my voice. I’m quite lucky, living in a detached house in the countryside, where nobody can hear me, and even if they can, who cares?
Music is the spice of life!
