Horsemeat scandal

Ang has cut her drinking down and been eating for over two weeks now. It's been great. She is depressed though because her back is still bad and she keeps having to stop if we go out for a walk. She has to stop 3 times just to get behind the railway track. Martine came over yesterday. She arrived about 4 and stayed til the end of Eastenders. Had bad letter yesterday but passed it on to social worker to sort out. She gunna update me today. Ang has become a veggie so I've had to eat all the meat things we had in the freezer. As a consequence my guts have been in turmoil. Couldn't face the liver so cooked it for the dogs. Couldn't give them the beefburgers or spag bol as both had onions in them. Thankfully there is only ARK or veggie food in the house now :) so weather may get back under my control. I woke at 5.50 today for some reason so got up and took dogs out for a wee. Horsemeat scandal still raging. I wonder if pet owners realise they feeding horse to their dogs and cats. I think many pet owners would be gutted if they realised. What choice is there though. I think all commercial petfood is a mix of horse and meat unfit for human consumption. Wonder if feeding such crap meat to dogs and cats is the reasons so many get growths, lumps and tumors in old age. Just a thought. You look in the ingredients on a tin and it just say animal protein or derivatives. Shudder to think wot goes in it. Got to order some more for dogs today or tomorrow. Need mixer mainly but am trying to build up stocks of cans so got some reserves in.

Wuss pants

Got up at 8.45 today when Buster woke me. Got dogs to shops for first walk as was so late. Ang came over today and went to bed complaining of stomach ache. She seemed in terrible pain and I got in touch with NHS direct. They rang and she spoke to them. Then a doctor rang and Ang told me they were going to send a doctor out. She was sick several times and had to strip sheet off bed and wash two pillows. Couldn't put them on to wash til dogs had finished their supper as Buster stands back from his dish and barks at the washing machine in an I'm scared way.

Crying time

Finally got to look at pictures of cobwebs grown over last 7 years. 1 good example and one reasonable one and a group that needs further study. Some of the photos were rubbish because of poor camera skills. Am annoyed with myself as am never gunna repeat this experiment in a place I live in. It harmed me, my wife and my dogs and took 7 years of my life to complete. Yet I now have a photo to challenge sceptics with. Cool. Better make sure I back it up. Tears of joy tonight. Praise be for picture 57 :).

Bliss

Got to bed at 10.30 last night. Woke just before 8. Sorted dogs out and had a coffee. Rang Ang at 9 and she was upset. Got dogs to railway station and came back and had an egg butty. After a couple of coffees and doing washing up I cleaned windows in the lounge. Took ages and didn't get my bath till gone 1. Ang rang just after I got out the bath and asked if I could go down the shops so dogs ended up going with me for their second walk. Dainty was jumping up catching snowflakes as it was showing quite heavy. It settled a little on the grass and Buster go ice balls on his two front feet and he stopped walking at one point until I pulled them off. Got back and took dogs up to Ang's with her stuff but she got Angry after about 5 minutes and I had to leave. She was very upset and saying she was scared of herself. She rang a little while later and said she was going to bed. About 3.30 Martine rang and she'd been to a cafe for a roast chicken dinner and was busy cleaning her garden of dog mess. Had Bliss on most of the day. America gunna be hit every month now Virgin sold out to an American company. Multiplies effect of my outgoings because Americas GDP is so much greater than the UK's which was the tax location of Virgin. Thanks Richard. :)

Visitor

Martine came over about 6.30pm yesterday. She stayed til 10.48 so rang her later to make sure she got back safe. Ang kept ringing me all the time she was here but was angry and drunk so wouldn't let her come round. Finally got to bed at just after midnight. Ang rang me at 8 this morning just after I'd woken up. She came round later on and I went to shops to get her some cider. She got loud and had to leave accusing me of going to bed with her sister. Graham popped over to collect some painkillers for Helen. The rain was bad so went for a kip in the afternoon and Ang rang and woke me about 4.30. Got up and had a coffee then took dogs to the boat beach. Came back and shortly afterwards went over to tell Ang the tuna salad was nearly ready as her phone was going straight to voicemail. She came over a liyttle later but didn't want to wait til I'd finished the tuna salad. She said she'd lost her phone so will go over in a bit and try and find it for her and see if she wants me to take her some food over. Hopefully gunna get a bath later but not in the mood now with the grief from Ang. Phoned Martine earlier and she doesn't really wanna come over again because of Ang. She doesn't want the grief but told her it was Ang's problem not hers. She's got her mum coming over Monday or Tuesday and she's fretting about it.

Wake up call

Got to bed 9.30ish last night. 2.45 Ang rang to ask me to get her some cider at the garage so I got up and took the dogs out for a wee and made a coffee. Had coffee and a smoke the Ang came over and I went to garage. Came back and had another coffee and Ang went home about 5 to go to bed. Lucky her. I wanted to be up early but 2.45 taking the piss. Looks like it going to piss it down today so will be able to catch up sleep later as won't have to take dogs out for walks. Dunno if Martine will come over if it raining so prolly be a lonely day on my own. Might get chance to clean lounge windows today if walks rained off. Windows aren't too bad as did them a while back. Took some photos of positions of cobweb formations around flat before cleaned it. Haven't studied them yet but visually the left corner of the lounge above the window was best d-web example. Cobwebs extended a line visible in damage that was in the corner. Very satisfying to find amongst the ones that had formed. :) Hope pictures came out well. 7 years for that experiment. Glad it's over and can clean flat up again. Would have left experiment running a while yet but everyone was on my case about my flat. Jesus people. I was employed as an industrial cleaner once. I do know how to clean. Trying to explain to others it's a massive experiment that has been running for 7 years is a bit difficult. I have a theory and am attempting to prove it with evidence. My god is it taking years. :(.

Hectic week

All this week as been hectic. Ang had me running around like crazy. Wednesday was similar and Ang stayed the night. Thursday was chilled but Ang had to leave as she got funny. Today was a nightmare. Had horrible scene over her script. Ang left afterwards so I could sort it out for her and ended up having to take Buster to chemist as didn't want Ang back round to dogsit. Took her script over and some Tuna sandwiches and later some sugar, coffee, milk and her kettle. She rang later and screamed at me that I'd stolen her lighter. Just before the soaps started I rang her and she'd fallen asleep and had calmed down. Martine supposed to be coming over tomorrow. Dunno if Ang will be sober or not though as she's drinking like a fish at the minute. Gunna get an early night as am knackered both mentally and physically.

Manic Monday

Tried to get graphics tablet installed for Martine last night but think I've used the wrong driver as the pen not working on her machine. Grr. Ang turned up at 6am this morning looking for some milk so I got up and took dogs out for a wee. She rang later and asked me to go shop for her. Was really in a bad mood this morning. Went to shops on first walk with dogs after feeding them to get Ang some cider and filter tips. Hit the shops just as all the kids was about so couldn't tie dogs by the community garden but had to go past loads to get to the road sign. Hate it when have to go to the shops with the dogs at kiddie time. Ang came over later to sit with dogs while I went to get her script and sort out on-line access to doctors surgery. Decided to take Buster with me so Ang just had Dainty to look after. Not that she needs it but prefer not to leave her alone. Had to speak to IT bloke on surgery phone but when got home it didn't work. Rang surgery and got put through him and he had to generate new codes and give me info over the phone to set mine and Ang's access up. Let's hope it last more than 3 requests like last time before get access denied again. Ang needed me to go into Poole so caught the 12.35 train. Specsavers couldn't repair the frames of her glasses so came back on the 1.14. Got back and had a coffee and then took the dogs to the railway station because Dainty refused to go in the other direction. Got back made us both an egg sandwich. After a while Ang wanted to go to sleep and as I was shattered we went and laid on the beds. After 10 minutes she got back up and I got up 15 minutes later as couldn't sleep cos of coffee. I took Buster to the boat beach and round the back way to the wasteland. Had to put buster back on the lead as there was a couple with a springer on one of the paths by the wasteland. There was a bloke with a dog lead a little further on and he asked me if I'd seen a red lurcher. Told him I hadn't and walked on to the shops to get cider, coffee and milk. Got back and Ang was ok for a while but 5ish she started getting funny and got really angry when she finished her drink and had to pack her stuff away to go. I helped her carry some but on the way around the corner she spilled stuff out of her black back and squealed really loud. I took the things I had into hers and she followed me in. Went back to mine but 5 minutes later she opened the door and started shouting about her phone. Buster went mental and she eventually went after about a minute when finally convinced her that I didn't have her phone. Shut and locked the door and put kettle on and started making a coffee. Heard a knock at the door and it was the police. The officer tried to barge in and nearly got had by Buster but thankfully he listened and let me put him in the bedroom. Dainty was all over the bloke and the second guy left to go to Ang's. I told him what happened and he took my name down. Ang phoned while I was talking to him and said Lee was at her door. I told her it was the police, several times, and that she better let them in. Told her I had to go, hung up and finished talking to the bloke. He got on the radio and left shortly afterwards. Ang phoned a short while later and accused me of phoning the police but after a while and several more phone calls she settled down. Apparently though she's gunna ring Juliet tomorrow and tell them I'm getting ill again. Don't I just love Manic Mondays.

Cleaning house

Spent last few days cleaning. Did quite well as haven't got many injuries on hands thankfully. Flat is starting to look reasonable again. Have managed to get Ang to take a lot of her stuff back to her flat and it was hard work with her moaning and getting angry every time I asked her to help. Have still got lots to do but am going to have a break now for a while. Need to get lounge windows done to improve to light coming into the lounge and increase the effect of circuit so increasing the effect on the local population and decreasing crime rates further. If I'd have got the colour scheme right in the bedroom originally I would be 8 years into effect. As it is the system is only about 12 months into full effectiveness. Got to repaint some of it and add purple to effect spirituality of people but won't be doing that til the summer so can have windows wide to get rid of paint fumes. Ang came over yesterday and stayed the night. She drank during the evening and woke about 3 am. I heard her leave at some point and woke just before 8 to an empty flat. She rang about 8.15 to wake me up and had a moan at me. For some reason she took her laptop back to hers but didn't take it's power supply. I rang her a bit later and asked if she wanted anything down the shops so at some point I've got to get her some cider. She said she was going to bed so will leave it til later to go to shops. Am fed up now. Hope Martine comes over today but can't ring her til about 12. Had two deliveries from Sainsbury in last 3 days. First one 3 days ago only half the dog food and a quarter of the mixer arrived so had to do a second order the next day but still only a quarter of the mixer arrived. Ended up with just over half the dog food and half the mixer. Grrr. Got some food in now though so eating enough again. Yesterday had a banana and cornflakes for breakfas, a vegetable burger and Linda McCartney sausage with bread and butter later and finished the day off with a veg curry made from a packet of microwave veg, baked beans and an onion fried in a little butter. First time in ages went to bed not feeling hungry. :)
