I think it’s rotten that Sir Keir Starmer has been pushed all this time to resign as Prime Minister. I hope those responsible should feel guilty but I suppose they won’t even think about it. There’s one TV journalist who has been criticising him ever since day one but is talking about him now as though nothing to do with him.

I forgot to take my Alendronic Acid tablet yesterday which I am supposed to take before anything else to eat or drink and then wait, bolt upright, for 30 minutes before anything else. It’s a once a week pill so I have got up early this morning to take it.

So will the Prime Minister resign? I suppose we just have to be patient, not the easiest thing! I am getting a bit fed up with it all and, of course, the Tories keep popping up – really boring! It’s all the doing of the right wing media who have been at it since Labour got in, very ungracious.

I am hanging on until my son and his partner come to visit in a week or two. I am hoping that he will help me with my technical issues. Although, I suppose, there’s nothing new about that!

I have a new coffee table and a very competent craftsman put it all together for me. I really like it even though I didn’t sleep last night but it will probably take some time to get used to it.

Apparently the assisted dying bill is back which was blocked last time. Hopefully it will pass so we all have a choice. At the moment a person can still be prosecuted for helping someone to die.

So I have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis and been prescribed with Alendronic Acid but had to have a blood test first. I am very glad to say I got the go ahead on Friday. So I got up around 7.30 ish this morning so I could sit bolt upright for 30 minutes after taking the meds before food or drink. I have now had my breakfast and a second coffee and ready to start the day!

So I have finished reading my New Statesman, eaten a Crunchy bar to get rid of the flavour of Laxido and watching the U & Drama Channel which shows some very watchable programmes including repeats for the afternoon on a Saturday. Not really sure what the weather is doing but my arms are cold.

I am up early because I wanted to have a bath and wash my hair before my visitor who might come from 8.00. It’s quite nice being up and having breakfast whilst most people are still asleep.

It’s the start of another busy day. Several different people coming this morning and someone else this afternoon. Some of those coming to help me and others probably wanting to help themselves. But I will wait and see!
