November 3 and a new blog

SUNDAY  I am a-less-than-happy bunny right now having done two hours of editing on 12.8 comms with nothing to show for it because I did no saving enroute and then pressed a wrong button which ejected me out of the site.  I took a bus into town to get co-codamol because these cold sores are getting on my tits.  The weather continues to be much overcast with light winds and balmy temperatures.  I continue to rest and build up eating well sleeping well enough in that although  may wake after two or three hours I can get to sleep again. 

MONDAY: x4 at 0827 puts me in Northampton at 11oc for the D2 to Daventry and the 12oc D4 puts me on the boat before 12.30 to set and light the fire bilge out Wavy and start a major spring clean which will be ongoing for days? weeks? About t=2Oc the question Do I need to be here caused me to descend lock7 and on arriving at lock8 found a yawning gate so I brought the cavalcade down and nailed to a convenient piece of armco clear of the landing clear of trees and easily visible.  Alan Buckle is off my Santa list and I will now chase Proctor

TUESDAY:  Everything electric on board works well. Wifi is at 3 due to position but that is ok. I am now only 2minutes walk to a bus stop.  I need to remember times of buses as I missed 1025 AND 1125 by thinking they were at 35. ONLY the 0935 is 35. Then I took the 1225 to Waitrose for porridge and came back on the 1300.  I went out for 1408 and got sausages but no fish in Long Buckby and the bus broke down on the way back (I had intended to carry on to Daventry) so I got off and hoping for a 1508 which failed to materialize so I cancelled fish and prepared sweet potato and onions to go with the sausages surfed my phones and generally chilled.

WEDNESDAY: I slept well and woke about 7 with a plan to leave for the 1310 D4 leading to the 1345 96 leading to the 1533 X4 which I caught only because it was running late but I got to the flat at 17.40 to find I had left my fob on the boat.. Luckily Cathy41 let me in and I spent the evening relaxing, going to bed at 10oc with two ibupfofin.
The cold sores are waning but not gone.

THURSDAY: To Willowtree after organising a spare fob for blood test. The stupid doctor insists on following her little agenda and will not be happy until she knows what my cholesterol is doing.  I told her emphatically I am not going to take statins not now not ever and that I cannot improve my diet as it is already perfect as is my weight and general condition. I have a CT scan coming up next Wed. 13th  Nov. for pain in the area of my skull near the left ear which is associated with the shoulder pain for which I have been 'booked' for an x-ray later.  No news of the most important test of all the one to test my specific  lung function first called for in February.

FRIDAY:- Spent at home sorting photos and relaxing to rest the shoulder area to see whether there is an RSI which I doubt. 

SATURDAY:- To Cambridge via Hitchin and returned the same way to avoid delays on the Ely line caused by a football match in Peterboro. I got back to PB at 3oc and caught a No,1 at 3.20 while the rabble was contained and was home for 3.45
