Whistles

Whistles and tests the blogosphere out. So far so good.

Seem to be getting better as my muscles are relaxing though they're a bit tender right now. But there's much more movement. Today's not been bad but I'm rather tired. Sorted out a bit more of the flat and had a talk with the solicitor, seems that's what's going on in the chain of buyers means that they hope things will be sorted out within six weeks. I thought that I was the one holding things up but it seems not.

Oh dear!!

I thought the extra three "Sorting Out" posts had been deleted but it appears that they've only been deleted on my list of posts here and not on the blog itself. And nothing is posting at all.

Hmmmmmmm

Well............ I've deleted the extra three posts that were up before and that's ok but I tried to post a new post up and it's not there!!!!!

Perhaps I spoke too soon

How did that happen? If I have attracted the alienaties I hope they haven't been playing with the computer. I suppose as I'm still using the Packarding Bell there could be a simple explanation. Anyone who tries using this puter is going to get a bit of a surprize.

Anyway I'll just go and delete the extra postings .............

Sorting out

Started sorting out this place today. Still feel like crap but eating properly, you know ... blah di balh di blah. But really .... bleurghhh. Not to worry though. I just want this all done and sorted out.

I met the woman who's going to have some of the furniture today and yeah she's still so sad. I'm glad I bumped into her cause otherwise I think I'd probably just left it and seen what my buyer wants and then just sent all the rest of to charity. I'd rather this woman has what she wants though. She's going to have the TV and the cd/dvd player and anything else she wants.

So, things are moving.

That's it really. Other than when I went into Smiths this morning I found a new computer arts magazine a sci fi one.

Which reminds me >> I felt rather worried the other day but I'm sure things will be alright!! I went into the bathroom the other day and the florescent light was flashing on and off and seemed to be sending out a type of morse code signal. You know, long , short, short, short, long . I quickly drew the curtains just in case.

So far things seem to be alright though if the signal had got through to far away galaxies you never know how long it might take for the spacey invaders to arrive.

Still a bit tired

A lemuure is still a little tired and is sorting out the flat as well.

Just resting

Just resting for now while I get better.

First longish walk on the poor paw

I went for my first longish walk today since the paw became so poorly. Warmish evening and nice to walk around in the twilight. The foot's still troublesome but I walked for half an hour or so and hadn't taken any pain killers since the morning.

WELL!!!!!!!!!

Still feel really crappy but other than that it's been a quite a good day really.

Things are loosening up which ofcourse means the foot is still on the tender side but I can move a lot faster. So ya see things are getting better. Not that I'm able to rush around town yet and I'm not wandering off too far afield. Just hanging on in there.


AND EATING HEALTHILY


Said in my best purple.

Not such a poorly paw

Well, I'm not too bad. Trouble appears to be that I caught another cold and my foot didn't like that very much. Noticed today that my reflexes are much quicker again and that I'm walking better. Tired out though.

Still being told to rest so that's what I'm doing. Eating well and I'm fine with it.

Seem to go through feeling well then getting very tired again so I know I've just got to take things easy for now.

Thursday morning ..............

Not so effervesant this morning though had a good night's sleep. I think I'm starting to feel better but just going through it again is tiring. Got more movement back.

I'm tired. Got up early cause I had quite a lot of things to get sorted out but then had another hours rest.

Yawn.

Out .. but not for long

Someone said the human equivalent of you seem very bushy tailed today lemuure. And I must admit that I'm not as tired but had to point out THE FREAKING FOOT. Any plans of being anywhere but in a ten minute radius of where I live were soon scuppered. Strange though I had trouble walking down the stairs today, not trouble but there was more pain than before but once I was out and on the pavement there appeared to be less pain. Might be because I'm getting more movement back I guess and the steps were a bit of a workout for the foot. It felt a bit strange walking back up the hill in town too. Hill? It's a slope I was hardly aware was there before.

I was probably out for too long. Went out and got papers and food, then went out for a short walk virtually around the block. It was really pleasant, mild, and as I could only walk slowly I noticed things around me more. Looked at the moon in a blue sky, it looked as if it was made of whispy clouds. Then as I was coming back and the sky was darker there was a glowing yellow moon to see. Must be almost a full moon too.

I was tired when I got in and thought that I'd been out for too long, but after resting for a while and having something to eat I'm feeling better again. I've got a few aches and pains because the cold had tightened my muscles up and though they're starting to relax again they still ache some.

I came home with plenty of healthy food. No junk food at all and this is really important for me at the moment I think. Anyway with the amount of crap I've eaten recently I think I've eaten my share of that for some time. Now I just have to get down and do the other part with the same devotion.

Now I'm just out to the kitchen to sort dinner out: lentil curry (Tesco), small jacket half potatoes (Marks), and salad (Marks). And a bun or some bread of some kind. And a glass of water. And the calcium pill.

Getting better

I'm getting better. Went out for a while this morning and found that walking's much easier. Did a test run (walk) before I went out though it's not so easy to tell how things'll be because the carpets are rather different to walk on than the pavement. Just stayed locally though, wandered round the Priors for a while and got some hot crossed buns and lentil soup from Marks on the High Street.

I found I could launch myself off my right foot quite well and just wandered slowly round. Found consciously relaxing made things feel a lot better too.

Am back though and didn't find that realising that I was feeling better meant that there was a sudden need to go and explore Rugby or somewhere.

Resting

Have been out to get food and papers today. I've taken the pain relief and I guess my foot isn't that bad but I'm tired and my muscles are a bit achy and stiff and I just feel rotten. But I haven't pushed it and've just come back to do things here. Best thing.

I really am a bit slow on the paws at the moment.

The diet is healthy though even I was a bit stunned by lunch. A wholemeal hot cross bun from Marks with marmite and a slice of soya cheese. And the inevitable soya yogurt.

Checks hearing:

Boom ba boom ba ba

Right, that's ok. Could be a bit better but is much better again.

Poor paw

Could a lemuuries situation ever be summed up better. Not that I'm eating pawpaws to be honest but fruit has certainly taken over from the chocoolate most of the time. Well, all of the time at the moment. This is because of the other paw paw situation here, the poorly paw.

This time the poorly paw wasn't caused by an accident or anything like that but because a certain lemuurie hadn't been eating properly for some time and because of this caught another cold which affected some nerves and leaving her with a poor paw for a while.

A particular lemuure was rather surprized to find out that not eating pawpaws or other healthy food could lead to poor paws.

Walking home

It's really kind of surreal walking around outside at the moment. Guess we'll soon be going into winter and the scenery will change but at the moment the mixture of the seasons is quite mind blowing.

If you know nature well it's almost like being on another planet. Entering a world of science fiction.

Snow soon

But today the flowers were out. Saw jasmine in flower, a chinese rose looking over a wall, three trees full of pink blossom, and ragwort in flower. The ragwort took me a bit by surprise but there it was. The bushes and trees have buds, some of the bushes look near to flower or leaf.

But tomorrow we're going back into a cold snap.

I used to think that the seasons had just gone a bit out of kilter and that they started at different times than they used to but this year it all seems a bit of a muddle.


Goes to turn extra lights off.

Thinks of Greenpeace and Friends Of The Earth.

Ah....................

A lemuure has finally got it. Apologies to Cadburys and other Easter eggers. They know you know. We can celebrate the coming of Spring with New Year's Eve with the eggies, and then celebrate it over and over again as the flowers bloom and the birds build nests after each cold snap.

Perhaps though we can save the big eggs for Easter.

It was quite fitting this year too. After all what is New Year's Day if not the birth of a new year which could be symbolised with the Pagan symbol of an egg for the birth of the new. Usually though the Winter Solstice is a sign of the earth at rest here and the egg for pagans is a symbol of birth as Spring starts the growing season again.

This year the New Year, usually a time of rest, has coincided with wild flowers in bloom, birds nest building and new green shoots and plants appearing. The egg manufacturers know that this isn't the real start of Spring, even though it may look like it, and that we still have winter to go through, so they have just produced small eggs for now. The big ones will come later.

Wild Mountain Thyme

Oh, the summer time is coming,
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather.


I went out for a short walk a couple of days ago on Newbold Comyn, and yes, that's how you spell comyn, Old English for "common" I guess. It was very mild for the beginning of January. Just like last year really which also had some very warm January days. As I've mentioned before some people were out wearing t shirts last January. Seen it this year too but it's not as warm as last winter.

I wandered down paths, pulling myself back up when it got steep holding on to trees and bushes. I saw woody stemmed creepers on the ground that were coming into new leaf. White nettles are also in flower and there are many annual wild flowers in leaf. Dock plants are producing new leaves after their old ones had withered during the snow falls.

I'd also seen primroses and heather in bloom a few days before while out.

The birds seem to think it's Spring.

I know we've got predicted cold days again this week, though not as cold as last week. I wonder what's going to happen if the plant and animal life go through may more cycles like this through the winter.

And surely if this continues and becomes more pronounced as the years go on it's going to change the whole cycle of nature disrupting the growth of crops and the lifecycles of insects and other life in the wild.
