So, last evening I received an apology and no l hadn’t done or said anything. I have no idea what that was all about. He usually takes me wherever I want to go but will he in the future? I still have to get a new appointment when they call. Or l could call them l suppose. I’m waffling.

I seem to have somehow upset my friend. Whatever l have said or done is unknown to me and I’m sure I am sorry for whatever that was but I really miss his company already. I really wish I knew what the problem is. I have probably said something which is the usual thing I get wrong.

I had three appointments booked at my surgery this morning. I waited and waited and no sign of the driver so I had to cancel. I hope he is okay. He has never let me down before.

I don’t seem to be able to get up anytime sooner than 9.00 or even later since my trip to Kent the other day. Hopefully I’ll get back to normal soon. I’ll get back to reading my New Statesman in a minute which is how I usually spend my Saturdays.

Yesterday a dear of a human C took me to Kent where I attended the funeral of my eldest sister N. As expected I really didn’t appreciate the church thing, nobody understood a word of it and my back really didn’t like the wooden pews. Then there was the Crematorium which was a delight and I am very glad that I managed to go. We didn’t stay long at the wake as we wanted to stop for the eclipse. We found a pub with a lovely garden in Chelmsford and then we got home really speedily. I’m very tired today.

I really miss the programmes l usually watch on television. All the political programmes have stopped for the summer whilst parliament is closed. I find it really boring.

I’m so careless and cut my fingernail too short and it started bleeding. So now it’s dressed but won’t last long once it gets wet. Some protectors due to come soon.

Looks like a night in the armchair. I was in bed asleep but I woke up and knew that was probably it for the night. So I’m now downstairs and have put pen to paper which is how I do my blog. I am really struggling at the moment – maybe I should request a call from my son although we did speak last weekend. I’m really missing my friends who have now departed from this life. I’m surprised that I am still alive and they are all gone… very very surprised.

I had a horrible nightmare this morning. I knew that I should just get up but I was tired. There were hundreds of large spiders that were practically invisible – you could just see a sort of shadow in a certain light. And they were multiplying really quickly. Aaaah!!

Really tired today and not done a lot. My neighbour is popping in to pick up a package but I am ready for bed anyway. Still several hours to go before sleep time but I’m looking forward to it already.
