86 to Tesco.

A hearty repast of curry and rice at the mission. Anns soul food. Trotted on to the bus two young smoking scalls. One with red horns and fishnets and a variety of hallowee'n regalia. She wishes me happy halloween. I wish I knew an appropriate wiccan response. Tempted to reply with may the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman. (Tis a quote from neil off the young ones). On the bus a screaming woman and her screaming child are trying to outdo one another. She seems to have more of a problem than the kid to me. Need to purchase drain cleaner and other stuff.

Off to pick up post

Got up late, leisurely Tuesday am after a long monday. Started with the good doctor holcroft testing my head then moved on to the sefton suite phonecalls a bit of real mursing with a non bariatric patient then a new patient clinic with mr mc adam. Home late and spied the chief constable of merseyside observing pc's enforcing asbos on mischief night. BTW WTF is mischief night when did it start why did no one tell me. Watched spooks (same riproaring plot this time it war fundamentalist christians). Off to bed. Anyways back to today kim binned me off she's playing nurse to pete. So I am off to post office for charity mail. Will pop into the mission for me dinner all being well. Need tostart carrying me camera but wonder if I would have used it last night on chief con. I want a new coffee machine. Every now and again I get the fancyin for coffee. Perhaps save me dosh and stick to the costa/starbucks thing. Sat on this bus someone is wearing nannies perfume. Hers was characteristic old lady niff. To be honest I just thought she smelt that way. Its a kind of erau de toilette on homeless.

My Macro lens delivers better magnification after I read the manual.

Epileptic with a shattered clutch

Just about how I feel. RAC man tows Jean home - speak to nice RAC man about service policy and leave it all for tomorrow feel somewhat overwhelmed to be honest this may cost money I can ill afford - especially sticking in the craw as I have not been driving it.

I love my rabbit

 

Jean put the car in for MOT this am I had a lie in. We went out for lunch at the patio. Got the call from Ally halfway through that quote was ready. Didn't really settle or enjoy meal from that point. Rang from outside pub 300 notes. Bummer once again at car mans behest and feel vulnerable. Then its off to pick car and off to speke for storage solutions and essential b and q items. Heavy bummer on way home in that car breaks down and results in call to RAC. I don't know much about cars but it sounds like the clutch has gone. Here am I sat unhappilly banned from driving in a car with no MOT on double yellow lines. Sorry officer.

Filming Wednesday

Started off at Sefton Suite with a really great guy. I am always amazed at how willing people are to participate in the filming. I think everyone sees it as part of the helping others and getting the message across. It all goes well - one member of staff wanders into shot and doesnt want to be seen so we had to reshoot. Off then to our house where it goes less well. Erina had done some lines and I found it relly hard to put what I had experiencedinto someone elses words. The film crew dont feel it but I get emotional still every time I talk about where I was physically and mentally. Ring the DVLA - I am still Epileptic - and unhappy.

Tuesday evening

Nipped down to Sefton park - which would have been easier in my car did some pictures looked increasingly perv like stalking through the park at twilight. Quiet but satisfying support group which ended up with me drawing diagrams. Feel like I let people down as I guy who had emailed me ages ago finally caught up with me and I am embarrassed to admit I hadnt been back in touch. Several people arrive at the support group looking considerably lighter. Ally was off out to see the Puppini sisters at the carling academy. Good gig by all accounts.

Sefton Park in Autumn

 

I was happy till you called me epileptic

Thats what it says in the letter from the DVLA. So I cant drive - to say I am pissed off is an understatement. The nice lady tells me that my fits and my subarachnoid bleed were not related (according to the medical evidence she has). I text Frank to see if he can help - hes probably had enough after trying to sort out my mum this morning. Looks like she needs insulin to him referral to specialist diabetes nurse/ and then maybe the nephrology team. Happy days. Need to ring work see if its ok to get a taxi in again. I know its not life and death about the driving licence but it feels like it. Jeans off to work I had planned to take myself to the park with my camera for a macro session but the rains been beating down and the light is pooh. I cant be bothered. Anyway it will be of half term kids and worse still their grandads handing out bloody werthers.
As soon as I write that the sun peeks round the corner of a cloud. Should ring Mrs Mc Naught I owe her a call and need to mention the 2-0 defeat of the redshites on Sunday. Constipation still a problem and I have changed the pain killing medication in a bid to debung me. Knowing my luck I will get tothe park it will pee down and I'll need a dump. Think I will stop in and maybe have a kip - though taking to my bed seems like the act of a depressive. Alternatively I could be creative with software with photographs or make a serious start on the writing. Both of which activities could result in accusations of hypomanic swing. All I am clear about is my head is truly wedged up my own bum. Mindful I have the support group tonight and filming tomorrow - and work. Then 2 days off. Want to do some serious macro shooting - Jean will not be impressed for sure.
Thats blue sky - not much but some its windy - Hmm wonder what its like in the palm house to shoot. Could get down there early to do sunset if its nice.

In the barbers chair.

Well waiting to get into it. Adele is the hairdresser of choice alas Frank no more. I even jumped the bus down here as its easier. Feel knakkered as per usual. Car booked in for MOT thursday, mum booked in for hers at Franks 9.20 tomorrow. No filming tomorrow daytime/nighttime just wednesday am. Had a good morning this morning and extended to the pm. Still need gto make one call.

I know I am paranoid but.....

I dont mind spam emails offering me viagra, cialis, hair restorer growth forula but when I get email targetting me for online purchase of my prescription only medicine I get suspicious - is the NHS computer being hacked or are they just lucky.

Come dancing

Why I am I watching it. Cant be arsed not watching. They are assassinatingsome irl from casualty who I thought did well just walking in her shoes. Tis shite telly but I feel starngely engaged. I just read a chapter of a book called how to write a book which reveals it takes 24 x 10 hour working days to do 50000 words should take me about 4 years then. Feel like I am on a bit of a downward swing. Could be that someone commented yesterday that I was more reliable than people expected and Jean said I looked a bit low. Bloody feel unreliable and down now.
I used to look forward to come dancing on a friday night - I think it was peter west of pissed up cricketing fame. Good article in guardian weekend about noel edmonds deal no deal.
Macro lens came and a skylight filter I ordered a 350d instruction manual from ebay and immediatly my getting the most from book turns up. I break a piece of gaudi pottery I was photographin and lose my blob.

Tuesday October 17th

Start the day with a mug of tea here http://www.livercm.org.uk/ in the city centre caff run by ann and her team if you pass go in. If you are lucky you may spy the early morning Cozzie who gives breakfast and ministry to people struggling.
Park in Mount Pleasant - not sure how long for so spend a fiver and its off to Lime street to meet Gill off the London train. Shes a publisher and we are meeting to discuss what I hope will be a book. She is the nicest possible publisher I could imagine, though I am not behind yet. We natter and lunch in the Marriot. Then its off to home feeling strange. Cook tea then off to a meeting. Some faces missing and one I must chase.

AGM

Saturday 14th - was a great event friends old and new. I am still whirring but it went well and the pics are here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigsteve2006/sets/72157594336044972/ and here http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenclareblog/sets/72157594331412708/ if you see yourself put your name on it.

Just when things are going well

Everything goes tits up. Phone call from a Doctor Reid. Mums potassium is up the swannee and she needs admitting. Ally tried to deflect the call (bless her) when she realised the gravity of the situation she dealt appropriately.
