Observing Life.

Well the brief week of searing summer temperatures of between 30° and 35° seems to come to an end as a thick cloud cover moves back in over Amsterdam.

It's only 19.30 yet it looks and feels much later, I guess we are moving slowly towards longer nights and shorter days.

Sadly the summer we did not really have is coming to an end, when I was mobile I liked time of year very much, especially the lovely sunsets from now until the end of October.

Right now having to be in bed 24/7 everything seems to be blended together, life is something that I observe but that I do not take part in.

Strange to think that especially as I was always very involved wherever I have lived.

It has got so dark already that I have just switched on the lamp next to my bed it is a shame, but that's what happens when it gets to the end of August.

Today is 24th of August, it is Megan’s birthday in beautiful Devon, she is 19 today, how I wish we could have gone there to celebrate with her and her parents Brian and Angela as well as her friends.

Last night because it was very late again I took a sleeping tablet to make sure that I slept well, it was very effective so much so that it to me ages to wake up properly.

I'm going to keep this short today, as I will do the spell check and then I will look for a picture on the Internet and publish, then my intention is to enjoy the evening my darling Richie.

Enjoy This Unique Day Now.



The Tethered Storm.

It is a classic Amsterdam Saturday, no sunshine, no blue skies and thick cloud cover.

All week the sun has been shining and the sky wa
s a lovely blue, which made me feel good seeing it.

I feel very sorry for all the working people who had hoped the good weather would also happen at the weekend.

Monday morning could well be a beautiful day, nice to go to work in sunshine, but it does not compensate for nasty weather at the weekend.

Shame that I can’t see sunshine today, which would take my mind off my pain and discomfort.

Right now my arms are as tight as coiled spring and can only be stretched out with great difficulty.

Every day I am woken up with my arms tightly folded over my chest and to prise them apart I need Richie’s help.

Once my arms are prised apart, Richie can get my arms out from under the duvet.

Richie massages my arms, especially my right arm which is the stiffest and most painful.

Despite the lack of sun, I shall do my best to create sunshine in our apartment and be cheerful and positive, and enjoy this unique day now.
