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.

I have just ordered some more sports bras which are so much more comfortable than all those awful bras I used to wear. I always felt all strapped up. And these are much cheaper too. I also ordered some more no show socks. Great stuff.

I got up late this morning so I have only just finished doing the stuff I usually do on a Thursday morning. I went a little mad when I was ordering a black bag which I will need soon. I just spent more than I meant to. It arrived yesterday and I love it. Definitely worth every penny.

I have been somewhat preoccupied lately and only just realised I haven’t written my diary. Just had a slice of lemon tart. Not quite the name on the label but tasted good.

Having a good day today. I spent most of last night in the armchair, sometimes sleeping, but hoping l have a better night tonight. But you never know!

I usually read my New Statesman on a Saturday but somehow I find myself watching Jonathan Creek on the television. Oh well… I will see how it goes.

I was looking for clothes in plain black and ended up with quite a long black dress but I have been thinking that I don’t really feel happy in a dress without leggings or jeggings or something. I have now bought something more like me and today I sent the long dress back because it was exactly as received including the label. It’s a very long time, like many many years since I wore clothing without jeans or leggings or jeggings.
