A Beautiful Sunny September Day.


Alfred Georges Regner


My session with the physiotherapist, this afternoon,  was not easy because of the spasticity, the incredible stiffness in my right arm.

On Monday I could still touch my nose with my right arm, today I could only raise my hand as far as to my chin.

Not nice to feel and experience, this afternoon, I am going to try not to let it upset me; all I can do is stay cheerful and keep doing my stretching exercises with Richie’s help.

The new worry is that my left hand and forearm are also getting stiffer now, on the plus side,  I can still move my left arm freely and I can still type, although laboriously.

As long as I can write my posts, write and answer e-mails, read newspapers as well as surf the net and play free cell and solitaire I am happy.

Seetech software will allow me to do everything I want to, so I am looking forward to seeing the package Herman is putting together for me.

I can hardly wait to get the software and start to use it to write my posts, it’s good to know that there is software available when my hands stop functioning.

Hopefully once I read and; agree with what Herman has suggested, it will not be long to wait, think that I am going to be optimistic.

Today is a beautiful very warm September day, sunny and dry, nice for friends returning from their holidays in warmer places.

A nice goodbye to summer today, as the forecast is for high winds as well as a lot of rain, all because of the tail end of a hurricane, shame a sunny autumn is nice, but who knows it maybe still lovely.

Intelligent And Thoughtful.

I slept very well last night until early morning, I woke up feeling cold, so called out to Richie to help me.

Since my arms have become stiff and painful I can’t do anything even simple things like pulling my bed covers over me.

Once he did this I drifted back off to sleep, which was great as it was just 06.00 when I woke, lovely that being warm meant a few more hours sleep.

Later on after we woke, Richie switched the radio on, and we had the dubious pleasure of hearing David Cameron give a speech about the riots and the government’s strategy.

Cameron’s speech was dreadful, I thought, he did not for one second take any responsibility for what has occurred.

It seems he wants to blame what happened to the previous government, the parents and  everythring else but his government.

What really became obvious to myself and Richie during his speech, was quite how stupid he came over, it was funny to hear how his politics had robbed him of integrity.

As well as conclude that judging by his speech it had been a huge waste of money educating him, to make such a clichéd an mediocre speech.

I was hoping to hear something intelligent and thoughtful, obviously that was my mistake to expect a politician to be intelligent and thoughtful.
