A slow day.

It has been a very relaxed day today that was because we were taking it easy; mind you we took it maybe a bit too easy.

Because we waited until after the personal alarm box and the batteries had been renewed, the appointment was for anytime between 1300 and 1600.

Of course the engineer came here at 1545, how typical and only after he had gone did Richie take me into the bathroom for a lovely shower.

When I was showered, dressed and perfumed and back in bed Richie got me a small snack and drink so that I could take my baclofen tablets.

After that we both listened to today's episode of The Archers, a long-running radio program on BBC radio 4 which we listen to every night.

When it was over, Richie checked that the dinner was cooking all right in the oven and then he left with the dogs for a quick run round the Rembrandt Park.

I'm going to keep this short, and look for a painting by Roberto Matta and put this on my blog and enjoy dinner with Richie when he is back from the Park.

Relaxed Friday.

Today was a nice quiet relaxed day which was very pleasant for me; did not do too much when I first got the laptop this morning.

Listened to the radio, in the mornings there are some good short stories and plays on BBC Radio 4, have been enjoying them a lot recently.

Nice to rediscover plays and short stories they been giving me much enjoyment recently and made me want to listen to audio books again.

What I really want to do is go to a bookshop and look for new authors, new books, but sadly my hands do not function well enough to manage books.

Shame as I loved going to bookshops and buying lots of exciting new books and reading them quickly and with great enjoyment.

It was quite a nice day despite it being very changeable weather again; luckily the fingerless gloves I bought on EBay arrived today.

They are very good for keeping my hands nice and warm, makes a pleasant change not to have icy cold hands like I usually have.

The only time my hands are not like ice is in the summer when it is warm, as soon as it cools off so do my hands.

This year summer was too brief; we had three weeks of glorious hot summer weather from 28 June until 18 July then it got cool and very wet.

Now it is cold autumn weather which I hope to enjoy wrapped up warm and snug in my fleece tops, jackets and gloves.
