Relapse

2010-04-21T08:41:00.001Z

Had a massive row with Ang last night and she ordered two pizzas and 8 cans of fosters. It was her first drink for over 3 weeks. She had her last drink of a can of fosters on a Sunday and it has been really volatile here since. She’s had terrible mood swings and been hardly getting any sleep. Most nights she has woken up between 1.30 and 3. I’ve been getting up at 5.30 and we’ve been out with the dogs between 6 and 6.30 for their first walk. She’s been to edaas once but been too tired to keep going. I’m so sad today because I had to go to the shop this morning to get her 3 bottles of Barnstormer. Seems she’s all set for a binge now. I got up at 6 today and she was drinking and had been up quite a while. She went to bed when I got up after a while and was very angry still. The argument was all because I arranged for a friend to come over today at 11. She started screaming and getting violent. When she was ordering the fosters and pizzas she was screaming down the phone to the man and in the end I had to finish the call because she was getting too angry. I had to put both the dogs in the bedroom because she started throwing things around and screaming which really upset Buster. Dainty just looked terrified. I couldn’t get her to leave but thankfully she settled down when she started drinking.

Trying again

2010-03-29T10:13:00.000Z

Ang started drinking heavy again about 2 weeks ago. She had a fall in the bedroom and caused a lump on the back of her head. A couple of days later she fell in the hall and banged her forehead which came up in a big lump. The next day she had the start of a black eye forming which got worse over the next week. We talked and she arranged an appointment at the doctors to get checked over because she had a lot of pain from her fall. She’s managed to cut her drinking down to just one can last night and arranged another appointment to get medication to help her give up completely from today. She also had an appointment to arrange councilling sessions so things are looking up.

Tomorrow

2010-03-11T13:57:00.001Z

Eight days ago Angela stopped drinking. She was fine for 4 days and talked a lot about things in her past. On the 5th day she had terrible problems and started shouting and acting psychotic. She calmed down after a while and started crying. These mood swings went on until she had some brandy and went to bed about 11. At 2.20 she got up and I had to get up as well to keep the dogs safe. She started shouting and I couldn’t get her to leave. Eventually I called the police to get her removed and they arrived some time after 4. They were extremely heavy handed and dragged her out into the front garden. I couldn’t stand what they were doing to her so asked them to go which they did. Later that morning I phoned my social worker and Ang snatched the phone off me and threw it across the room losing one of the batteries. I used Ang’s mobile to ring her again and while I was talking to her Ang started shouting and hitting me. My social worker called the police and they arrived about 5 minutes later. By then she had calmed down and they managed to talk her into leaving. Later on my social worker visited and we talked for a while. That night I took the dogs out before supper and forgot to lock the front door on the way in. Ang came over while I was getting their food and walked in. I asked her to leave but she promised not to cause any fuss and begged to stay. I let her and she was quiet til the next day when she got up at 3.15. I had to get up again and went out with the dogs at first light about 6.15. I rang her half sister Martine and asked if she could come over and dog sit while I went to an appointment. She agreed and managed to miss the stop on the train and ended up in Wareham where she caught the next train back. Ang was still going through mood swings and drinking loads of brandy and coke. She on her fourth bottle today. She goes quiet for a while and then starts shouting at me which upsets Buster and starts him barking. I’ve decided to get the dogs rehomed as it’s too disruptive her for them and in a way cruel. I emailed a springer spaniel charity earlier today and am awaiting a reply. It’s going to break my heart getting rid of them but it’s not fair to them having all the shouting and violence. Tomorrow came for Ang but it all went wrong. She needs to go into rehab but I don’t think she ever will so I must think of the dogs welfare.

Storm

2010-02-21T10:23:00.000Z

Seen loads of swans at backwaters lately while the weather has been cold. Numbers between 20 and high 30’s at times. Buster got attacked by Storm yesterday. Luckily the woman got him off quickly and Buster didn’t get hurt. Dainty had slobber all over her side so she might have been bit as well but I couldn’t find any blood anywhere on either of them. We ran into storm coming home first thing this morning.
Told Ang a few days ago the financial collapse could take up to 6 months longer than August 2010. We’ll have to wait and see if this is more accurate than August 2010.

Slow times

2010-01-26T10:25:00.000Z

Ang and I stopped up New Year’s Eve and saw the New Year in. After midnight I rang Mum and somehow got connected to Jane who had just rang Mum so wished her happy new year and then rang Mum. Martine came over New Year’s Day and stayed the night. Ang went back to the Doctors about a week ago and got more painkillers. She’s been having a Build Up every day for a few weeks but isn’t eating very well. Three days ago she went on a binge for two days. There have been lots of swans down at the backwaters lately but the weather has been grey for ages now and it’s depressing.

Hospital

2009-12-31T17:29:00.000Z

Weather been cold and wet for a while so not managed many walks with the dogs. On the 26th Ang collapsed and had a fit. I rang NHS direct who advised she went to casualty. Had to call an ambulance as I couldn’t leave the dogs. She got admitted and stayed in til the evening of the 29th. Martine came over on the 27th and I managed to get in and visit while Martine dog sat. Ang is eating since she came home and been prescribed vitamin supplements. She’s in a lot of pain from her back where she fell when she fitted. She’s got painkillers for it and I’m making her a hot water bottle when she wants to put on it which helps she says. There were loads of swans at the backwaters on the 28th but the fields are really soaked at the minute from all the rain. Today I managed 3 walks. Once behind the railway track, one long one around the fields and alongside the hill at the backwaters and finally down to ham common. It’s a cold wind today but at least no rain. Hopefully nothing else will go wrong this year.

Getting better

2009-12-23T19:08:00.000Z

Ang is feeling better today. She saw her own doctor last week and he prescribed morphine, inhalers and antibiotics for her. Finally today she has gone most of the day without morphine. She slept last night as well for the first night. She’s been waking up every few hours up til last night. I managed to slip over on the ice yesterday. Buster was barking at someone and pulling and he managed to pull me over. I hurt both hands and my right elbow. Luckily it was nothing major. Dogs are hardly getting any walks lately because of the weather. Rain and hail today so only managed one walk but not until nearly 3. Dogs are getting fed up and asking to play ball all the time.

Winter butterfly

2009-12-16T19:50:00.001Z

Went to hospital for an appointment last Wednesday and on the way to the train station I got bombarded by a red admiral butterfly. Totally amazed that one was still around but it was an almost spring like day. Weather has changed quite a bit since then. Ang had to get a doc out Sunday as her breathing was so bad and I had to take a prescription to Asda in Poole. Chemist messed up Ang’s repeat prescription today and we only just managed to get the doctor to write her one in time before the chemist shut. I’m suffering from a really horrible cold at the minute. My eyes are streaming as well as my nose. Not nice.

Tomorrow

2009-12-04T13:29:00.001Z

Ang been drinking heavy since her vodka. She got a litre bottle after the first bottle so it’s been a bad week for her. Yesterday she took two lots of medication during the day and was in a right state after the second lot on the evening. She fell over in the bathroom and banged her head on the sewage pipe under the sink. After I got her up she fell against the corner of the bed and hurt her back. I got up this morning and she went back to bed. When I got back this morning from the first walk she got up and she’d got a black eye. She says today that she can’t go on like this and is not going to drink after today. I don’t know if she’ll do it but she’ll really hurt herself soon if she doesn’t stop. God knows what state her liver is in. She’s so thin from not eating as well. I’m supposed to give up smoking if she gives up booze. I’ve got patches so roll on tomorrow.

An evening out

2009-11-29T16:27:00.000Z

Ang and I went to the Gurkha restaurant on Poole quay on Thursday with Helen and Graham. Lee came over and dog sat for us and we caught the train to Poole at 6.36. It was raining when we got to Poole so we took a taxi. The taxi driver put us off going by saying she hadn’t heard any good reviews about the place. We were early so went in and got a table and a drink each. I had a sweet and salty mango lasey and Ang had a mineral water. Helen rang at 7 and said they were just parking. There were only a couple of other tables occupied so it was quite quiet. We decided to start eating so went up and helped ourselves. There was a really good selection and Graham and I started off with chicken and sweetcorn soup. Afterwards I had two plates full of various dishes including a to die for Nepalese chicken curry. Everyone else went back for seconds and had a slice of gateaux and cream to finish off with. Finally Ang had a French coffee, I had an Irish coffee, Graham had a coffee and Helen had a cup of tea. Everyone was well happy and we called for the bill. To our surprise a round of complimentary drinks was brought to us. Baileys for the ladies and whiskey for Graham and me. Helen offered to drop us home so we went to the car park and another bonus was there was no charge for parking the car. We phoned Lee to let him know we’d be back in 20 minutes and got home about ten to 9. Helen and Graham didn’t come in and the first job I had to do was get the dogs out for a wee and get them fed. They had been really good for Lee and he had a coffee and then went on.
When we got back we told Lee about it and said we’d recommend it to anyone.
Saturday Ang went over to see Martine. I had a quiet day and got the dogs out for two walks. I took them behind the railway track to keep them clean for a day. The third walk was rained off. Ang got a bottle of vodka today and got really tearful after half of it. She then took her medication and fell asleep on my sofa.

Repairs

2009-11-18T17:01:00.000Z

The heating and hot water packed up last night so had to cancel meeting Jane in Poole so could wait in for engineer to arrive. I got dogs out for first walk after reporting heating and bathroom sink being blocked to the council. Shortly after I got back heating engineer arrived and sorted it out in about 10 minutes. I tried to get dogs out for their second walk about 12 and Dainty was limping on her back right leg. I tried her 3 more times every half hour before we managed to get down to the backwaters about 2.30. Hopefully she’s just having a bad day today and she’ll be better tomorrow. Ang is not good at the minute because she was up 3 times in the night. Hopefully she’ll be better tomorrow. The drain bloke arrived in the afternoon and sorted it out in about 20 minutes. I wasn’t expecting him to arrive for a few days.

Bonfire recession

2009-11-10T19:11:00.000Z

Fireworks this year weren’t too bad. Not that many going off although they were about for 3 nights. Had some success taking dogs outside on the lead to try and get them used to them. I took Dainty for her injection a week last Monday with Joan’s help. Dainty had a bit of a relapse for two days on the Tuesday and Wednesday. A few days later she had a complete change in mood and seems much happier again. On the Saturday before her injection we planted a tree that had sprouted in the front garden over by the hay meadow. We checked on it over the last week and it seems to be doing pretty well. Ang stopped drinking during the days about a week ago. Got a delivery from Sainsbury’s today and Helen and Graham dropped a bed over for Ang. They stayed for about an hour. We only managed 2 walks today as the weather was rubbish this morning. It was raining and cold.

Dentists

2009-10-12T15:05:00.000Z

Had to go to Wareham for a dental check up today. Came out the surgery with a mouthful of blood after having a descale. Was not happy anyway because I burnt one of my fingers yesterday so more pain didn’t help. Ang been drinking for about a week. She can’t seem to stop these days. Having to do all the dog walks on my own which is a bit near wracking. Managed to get to the boat beach and Ham Common yesterday and have been to the boat beach today. Buster brought a ball back from Ham Common that he managed to get out the water. When it first floated by he barked at it and was nervous of it till I told him it was a ball. Unusually he went into deep water for it. As soon as he’d got it he wanted to go home. When we got back he spent the rest of the day carrying it around. He tried to bring it to bed on the night time so I had to put it out the way. Today he asked for it as soon as we got up. Very strange.

Dainty's relapse

2009-10-06T16:38:00.000Z

A week Friday I took Dainty back to the vets because she was having problems again. Joan met me at Parkstone station and drove me over. Dainty has to go back monthly for a Cartophen injection. Today it’s very damp and Dainty is suffering a bit. Both walks so far today she’s been reluctant to go and sat down when we first go out. Took them over to the bird hide earlier and headed for the spit across the two gullies but the tide was too high to get across. Dainty dived into a flooded piece while Buster looked on in disgust. Ang was up most of last night and as a consequence I had a disturbed night. Feeling not too bad today though which is really surprising as I usually feel rubbish when don’t get a proper nights sleep.

Too many strangers.

2009-09-04T11:22:00.001Z

Dainty has improved about 3 days after her last painkiller. So long as she doesn’t do too much the previous day she’s fine. She had her assessment and they want to see her again after 2 weeks. Luckily Joan can still take me. Ang went to Poole on the 1st to get her hair cut. She’s really chuffed with it. Went to Martines to try and sort her computer out. Failed. Tried to contact brother but he can’t do anything for a few days. Ang been drinking since she had to have a drink before going to get her hair cut. I had to tell her to leave on the evening of the second. She came back the next day so I could go to the doctors to get a specimen bottle. Completely freaked out in doctors but thankfully managed to grab right testing kit. Did sample this morning and took back to doctor’s surgery. Don’t know when result will come in. I picked Ang’s medication up at same time as dropped specimen off at doctors. Thankfully Ang has crashed out so it’s quite peaceful at the minute and I’m able to get on with something on the computer.

The best Indian

2009-08-20T12:46:00.000Z

Nothing much happened in last few weeks. Ang went on a vodka binge for a week. She sobered up by my birthday and we got her sister over so we could go out. We took the train to Wareham and had the best Indian we’ve had in the Monsoon by Wareham station. Dainty has been on painkillers for a week and has to go back this coming Thursday to be checked. I’ve stopped her painkillers today so we can judge the injections as to whether they have worked. She seemed to get some relief this week but today first thing she was her worst stopping ever few for 8 or 9 times. Have got to have a blood test in 6 weeks time which I’m absolutely dreading. Seems every time I see my doctor he wants me to have a blood test.

Three more vets visits.

2009-07-22T14:52:00.002Z

Dainty recovered well from the adder bite and the swelling went after about 5 days. She started going out on walks after a couple of days and all was fine for a week. On one of her walks she managed to get a grass seed in her ear so ended up at the PDSA again. She stayed in for a couple of hours and my friend Dave picked me up from Bournemouth station to fetch her and dropped me back. About a week later Buster acted as if he had something in his ear so I took him. He ended up with two lots of tablets and ear drops for a bad ear infection. He went back for a check-up on Monday and I got a train to Parkstone with him. My friend Joan picked us up there and drove us over and back to Parkstone station. The vet gave us more ear drops and antibiotics. Dainty has to go tomorrow and Joan has agreed to do it again. Dainty is going to have her hips checked out as she seems to be having problems with her back legs every now and again. I went to Dentists yesterday but thankfully just needed a clean. Managed to visit the old couple that helped us contact the vets when Dainty got bit by the adder today on out second walk. We dropped off a box of quality street as a thank you which made the woman beam.

Yet more vets

2009-06-29T16:20:00.002Z

On Sunday we decided to go to mucky pond on the far side of Lychett Bay from us. We got to the beach there about 11 and waited for the tide to come in. Buster stayed close and Dainty went off ferreting in the grass. After about half an hour she came down to a patch on the beach. I was watching her when she jumped back and shook her head. I called her over and after spotting a puncture wound on her nose we packed up quickly and started to head back. After a couple of minutes I had to pick Dainty up because she wouldn’t walk.
We got back to the road and I went to a house and got them to get the emergency vet number for me. They were brilliant. I then phoned a taxi and got us all in and dropped Ang and Buster off at mine then went on to Castle Lane where the emergency clinic is. Dainty stayed in over night and had loadsa morphine and steroids. I picked her up in a taxi at about 6.45 this morning and then took her to our vets a bit later. They gave her another steroid injection and then I brought her home again.
Her face and neck are very swollen which the vets says will last 3 or 4 days. I examined her collar earlier and there is more room under it now so looks like it is starting to go down. She’s very quiet but has been out and had a wee. She’s eaten a small amount of chicken and a few titbits. She hasn’t drunk yet but she’s sleepy from the morphine.
With taxi’s and emergency vet somewhere in the region of £400.
All thanks to an adder

Vets again

2009-06-10T15:23:00.000Z

A couple of weeks ago ended up with loadsa trips to the vets. First Dainty got a grass seed in her ear and had to have an operation. She had her booster jab at the same time and her top canines descaled. Then she had to go the next day because of an injury to her foot she drew my attention to when she came round from her op. Buster had to go for his booster at the same time and have his ears checked. Dainty’s foot was ok and Buster’s ears were bad so he had to have a course of drops like Dainty. After a week Dainty’s one ear was ok and the one she had the grass seed in was nearly right. Cost us nearly £260 with all the taxis as well. We changed flea product to Advantix this month as well so had 4 months supply of that from vet as well.

Buster's operation

2009-04-19T10:22:00.001Z

A week ago Tuesday Buster ripped a dew claw. He went in and had it operated on on Thursday of that week. Saturday he had a check up but by Sunday he was limping. Later that week we took him back to the vets and he was put on a course of antibiotics. Really annoyed vet didn’t put him on a course to start after op. Yesterday we took him back to have staples out and he has a bandage on til Monday then it has to be removed. He’ll have to wear his big collar full time then instead of just at night.
Scratched left arm badly yesterday. God knows how. Wouldn’t be bad enough to register on British news although American news will prolly register it.

Girls in Poole

2009-04-03T15:12:00.000Z

Ang went to Poole this morning and I walked to the station with her at 11.25. Took the dogs to backwaters and Buster snatched his treat again, biting my hand. Thankfully he didn’t draw blood this time but got to get him out the habit. Thought I’d cured it because he hadn’t done it for days after I did some work with him on 30th. I spent most of the day reading posts and replying on BBC forum. Martine rang after got back with dogs saying she couldn’t find Ang and would I ring her and tell her she was outside Argos. Managed to get Ang and Valerie and Ang met up with Martine. Rang Ang about 3 and she said she’d be about an hour then she rang at 4ish and said she was gunna stop longer. Took dogs out then decided to do this post. Hopefully Ang will ring soon and say she’s on way home.

Birthdays and blood

2009-03-29T21:24:00.000Z

My sister had her birthday yesterday and Mum had hers today. I sent them both cards and chatted to Jane on-line and phoned Mum. Had an outbreak of fleas on dogs we noticed two days ago. Can’t understand it as only Frontlined them on the 11th March. Jane says Frontline doesn’t work always and advised me to use something else. Got to check with vet as Frontlined both on 27th again to try and sort problem just in case I misapplied first dose. On second walk today Buster snatched his treat and bit my thumb. Not deep but it bled quite a bit. I didn’t half shout at him. Were meant to go out with Helen and Graham today but we cancelled because of an argument we had last night and Ang didn’t feel well enough to go. She was very depressed. Hopefully she’ll feel better tomorrow as we made up quite quickly this morning

Forum down

2009-03-20T10:38:00.000Z

Yesterday Martine came over and stayed quite a while. Lee turned up later with a lady friend called Jayne. They stayed a while and stopped the night at Ang’s. Got up just after 7.15 today. Got dogs out and Ang put coffee maker on. We both had coffee and watched news for a bit then took dogs to the backwater about 8.30. Went there via the shops and met Sheba, a black staffy. Thankfully we managed to avoid all the kids. Met a group of 5 various tiny dogs with 3 people. Tide was out but looked to be on way in. Couldn’t see many swans. Got back and fed dogs then had breakfast. Boiled egg, toast, coffee and orange juice. Put computer on and did charity clicks. Went to post the 3 replies I prepared yesterday and found the BBC forum is down for maintenance. It says it back about 7am. Does that mean not til tomorrow. Will have to find something else to occupy myself today. Got nothing happening on Richard Dawkins forum either. Lee and Jayne haven’t come over yet.

USA deaths

2009-03-11T06:25:00.001Z

Last two days have been waking up really early. Today got woke just after 4. Got dogs out for a wee in the dark. Dainty had a poo. Will have to clean it up when it gets light. Came in and watched news. Yesterday afternoon in US someone went berserk and murdered many people. Am not really surprised because I don’t know when my blood sample would have been destroyed. I can’t positively connect them but am suspicious of there connection. It was the precise type of event I predicted on 17th February. Usually injuries to me are reflected in society within 48 to 72 hours. I based the time on 1 to 3 days before the sample was disposed of Ie when my blood died. If this was no correct and the sample has only recently been disposed of it would explain the delay. I simply do not know. Got a coffee maker delivered on Monday and some new jeans and trainers. Ang doesn’t like one pair of jeans I got as she says hey are like hoodies wear. When she said that I did a little rap and dance and made her laugh. Chatted to sister for a while when she came online at 6. After finished chatting to her I posted this.

It goes on.

2009-02-28T10:28:00.000Z

Haven’t been able to get time alone to continue on Mugabe. Every time Ang plans to go out lately she ends up drinking and doesn’t go. Running really late with that now. 2 weeks overdue already. Got dogs out this morning and called in shops on way back. Saw storm just going for his walk as came away from the shops. Thankfully Buster didn’t see him. Ang really grumpy today. She missed going out with her friend, Aunt and sister yesterday. Had boiled egg and toast for breakfast. Ang had two eggs as well and a slice of toast. Dogs haven’t eaten yet today.

I saw the news

2009-02-26T19:18:00.001Z

Was hopelessly out. News was full of loads of deaths after 5 days but not in US. Think the effect should have subsided by now as the blood should all be dead. Was surprised on the economic front that such a big loss got reported. Ang still drinking. Martine came around yesterday with a friend and Shadow.

Blood and money

2009-02-17T20:55:00.000Z

Went for a blood test yesterday. Going by when the GP will get results expecting someone to go berserk in next 4 to 6 days now killing a few people. Let’s see what happens. Should be USA. Ang just finished a binge for 3 days so been stressful. The economy should not slide further for a short while. Up to six weeks before next major slip, hopefully.

Sunday poem

2009-02-01T13:13:00.008Z

Wrote a poem on BBC forum today
How can be at peace with the Hindu
It’s simply what you do
You feed on their holy cow
Just you think now
How can you have peace with the Jew?
You know what you do
It’s pork to them you see
And what is it to me
The Lamb of God, so holy
Why can’t the world see?
Based on the Covenant of ARK
Covenant of ARK
Sent this after completed it to same forum entry
Second verse
But we let the monkey in the cage
Go under the knife in this age
Where’s it choice to go under the knife
It’ll be a quick death after a sad life
We see a greater good
If only I could
For we are so close on the tree
Then it not up to me
For human rights I don’t hold
That’s why I’m bold
I come from their level I find
That’s why I fight for my kind
From those you use to rise above
For those you exclude from love
Been waiting ages now for last 2 or 3 posts I’ve made today to appear. It’s bugging me. Doesn’t normally take this long.

Mugabe

2009-01-30T14:55:00.000Z

First strike 14.54 GMT.

Swans on the bay

2009-01-27T11:58:00.001Z

Haven’t done much lately. Ang went to her Aunt’s a couple of times in the last two weeks, once with her sister. Yesterday I didn’t get up til 8.50 so we were late doing everything. Went down the backwaters about 9.30 and Ang had a go at me because I went via the shops. When we got back she apologised and said she hadn’t slept well last night. We went out for their second walk about 12.30 and went behind the factories where it’s flooded still so the dogs could play in the water. On the way back we counted 52 swans on Lychett Bay. We got back about 1.45 and I crashed out for an hour. At 3.20 we took the dogs to the boat beach for their last walk. Buster made friends with a little Jack Russell that was there with 3 lads by their boat. The tide was out quite a way though so we didn’t stop long. Today was really foggy when went out for first walk about 9. Buster met a spaniel but didn’t want to play.

Normal weather

2009-01-07T20:08:00.000Z

Ang woke me at 4ish Monday morning. I got up at about 5.30 as couldn’t get back to sleep. Watched a bit of business news and then normal BBC 1. Read a bit of BBC forum. Tuesday evening Ang fell over in the kitchen. I heard a crash and found her sprawled out by the cooker with a small gash over her eye. She said she went dizzy and didn’t want to go to hospital. I got her back into the lounge and clean the cut up. The bleeding stopped after about 10 minutes and her eye had swollen up a little. Today we got up about 8 and managed to get the dogs on 3 walks. On the second one we went to the boat beach. The sea was frozen quite a way into the bay. Dainty still tried to go in but gave up after a while and left a trail of holes in the ice. Sister rang this evening. She forgot to lag pipes in new cattery at one place so now she’s got frozen pipes.

The year begins

2009-01-03T21:28:00.000Z

Had a quiet new years eve. Went to bed about 10.30 as was tired. Phoned Mum new years day. Jane had fallen asleep so hadn’t phoned Mum either after midnight as we usually do. Had roast chicken thighs for dinner New Year’s Day with roast potatoes, roast parsnips, broccoli and home made Yorkshire pudding. Neither of us really enjoyed it because of the meat. Ang started drinking about 4am today so I’m stuck taking the dogs out on my own. There were over 30 swans down at the backwaters today. On their second walk we met some new dogs one of which was a deaf Scottie. On their third walk there were people playing football on the top field so we had to stay on the bottom two.

Slow progress

2008-12-28T12:39:00.000Z

Boxing day we shared the leftovers from xmas dinner. We couldn’t find much worth watching on TV. Martine rang from Guildford. She’d had a quiet xmas as well with her friend. I forgot to say yesterday that we texted everyone with a mobile we know to wish them happy xmas. Joan rang at 9 on xmas night and wanted to come over but Ang had just got up and didn’t want anyone around. Yesterday on one of the two walks we went on we chatted to a woman with 3 dogs we met at the backwaters. Buster made friends with her dogs while we talked. We’d met her before a while ago as she’d found my blog online when she put in a search for Turlin Moor backwaters. We both agreed that it’s a special place that not many people know about. Today we didn’t get up til 8.30ish. I took dogs out for a wee then we had a coffee and took the dogs out to the back green because I felt really rough. After they had both pooed we came back in and I fed them. We then had some toast and then took them out for a proper walk as I felt a bit better. Counted 24 swans on Lychett bay today. When we got back I made Ang a tea and I had another coffee. I had to have an anti twitch pill as well as shaking really bad today for some reason. Tried ringing Ang’s brother but his phone switched off at minute. Tried to get him all yesterday to invite him over but he didn’t answer. Hopefully will get hold of him later and invite him over for a meal. Had over 2400 hits on my post on Richard Dawkins forum to date. Hopefully start on new version of website soon.

Traditions

2008-12-25T21:59:00.000Z

Tuesday Ang went to Poole to collect her new glasses. She called in at Iceland to do a shop. When she got to checkout she had to leave stuff as they couldn’t deliver. Wednesday we walked up to Lidl with dogs and she got to checkout and found they don’t take credit cards, so she had to leave stuff as had no money on us. We went down a second time and got what we needed. Called in Johns shop xmas morning for cream, milk and tomatoes. We had nut roast, cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes, onions and parsnips and Yorkshire puds followed by xmas pud and cream. Afterwards I drew a piece of mistletoe on a small bit of paper and made Ang laugh. I got a kiss though! We took dogs out for a walk and then watched Harry Potter. I went for a kip after it started and woke just as it finished. Watched Dr Who and then Ang went to bed when Eastenders finished. I stayed up and did this while drinking a glass of cider. Jane rang earlier and I had an argument with her about global warming and the economy and being Jesus back on Earth. Rang her back after fed dogs. Left her watching Shrek. Ang got up about 8.30 and I finished my cider and had a coffee. Ang watched The Royle Family and I finished this and posted it. Roll on the collapse next year.

Busy week

2008-12-21T11:01:00.001Z

Ang been busy most of the week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday she went to an alcohol course. Friday she went over to her Aunt’s with her sister and Saturday she went into Poole. She says she’s done in from it all. Ang got me a takeaway last night and shared some of it. Today her sister is coming over. I got up today just after 8 and Ang was in the living room drinking. I took the dogs out for their first walk about 9 and called in at the paper shop for Ang. Rang Ang’s sister about 10.30 and told her the train times this afternoon and she said she’d prolly be on the 2.48 from Parkstone. Had toast and marmalade for breakfast.

Lidl's balloon

2008-12-14T10:25:00.000Z

Ang woke me early today but managed to sleep til just before 8. Managed to find 3 videos of Mugabe recently but haven’t studied them yet. One doesn’t seem useful as sound is not in time with video. Swans have been scarce down at backwaters last few days although yesterday there were 40. Seems the cold keeps them away. January will be catastrophic for economy. Not much of a prediction now as everyone is saying similar now. Lidl opened on Saturday. When we went on the first walk with the dogs a young lad burst a balloon from Lidl’s opening and Dainty freaked. More balloons to rot in the environment for 60 years or more. After Dainty calmed down Ang went over to Lidl’s and I came back with the dogs. She came back and said it was packed and really cheap. It prolly means the death knell for John’s shop. He’s taken over the paper shop as well now which will prolly survive, although he doesn’t deliver papers now. Got Xmas voices on at minute. Don’t know why but Tony Blair was good. Had toast for breakfast.

Confession

2008-12-09T16:36:00.001Z

Two days ago Ang woke me at 6.15. Yesterday she woke me at 3.00. Luckily got back to sleep that day and slept til 10.15. Got dogs out for two walks that day. Today woke at 8.45 and got dogs out after watching news. Both pork and beef in Ireland contaminated now. This was to be expected. I have recently eaten both bacon and corned beef. Sorry. Better not do that again unless I wish to force you to stop eating these animals. See this document It.
If Mugabe is not removed from power by the UN by Xmas I will remove him by Valentines day if I can find video of Mugabe making a speech on the internet.(PS sorry for your illness Margaret and George?)

Under pressure

2008-12-06T16:27:00.002Z

Today the printer arrived just after 8.30. I was laid on the bed in my clothes as had tried to get some more kip after Ang woke me at 4.15. Yesterday she woke me just after 4 and I stayed up. Am terribly tired today and Ang has gone back to bed now. She’s drinking brandy like it’s going out of fashion and sleeping loads during the day. She has only had 2 sober days since she went to France. She keeps saying to me that she’s mentally ill and needs my help to get to the toilet. Yesterday she took her medication and threw up almost straight away so lost it all. I got the dogs out for three walks yesterday but only took them to the backwaters for 5 minutes this morning at about 9. Going to have a strong coffee and try and get them out for a proper walk in a while. Yesterday there were 42 swans at the backwaters. For last few weeks there has been between 30 and 40 swans there just about every day. This is the first year I’ve seen as many. Normally there is only a few that don’t stay long. Ang’s sister came over this afternoon and stayed quite a while. She comforted Ang for a while. When she left she promised Ang she'd come back tomorrow. I took the dogs out for a wee after she went as too tired to take them for a walk. Am going to try and sleep for an hour or two before have to feed them at 7.30. Ang is asleep now and hasn’t drunk since about 11 and it’s 4.30.

Duty frees

2008-11-18T18:31:00.000Z

A fortnight Monday Ang went to a driving course in Poole. Two days later she went down with a cold which I caught two days later. I got over mine Sunday after a bath Saturday. Weather been rubbish today. Mainly rain and wind so not got the dogs out. Sunday Martine came over and I cooked her a meal. Ang hasn’t eaten for about 5 days now. Printer was supposed to arrive today but website says it’s not for a while yet. Ang going to France soon with her sister and two friends. Sunday night Ang went to France with her sister and two friends. She had a great time and got me a bottle of Whiskey. She also got some tobacco. I opened the drink and had an Irish coffee then Ang asked for some and ended up drinking half the bottle. She got up this morning and started drinking the rest of the bottle. She got really abusive and started hitting me and scratched my face. Buster got really upset and she punched him in the face. She calmed down eventually and started crying. About 4.30 she started again, upsetting both the dogs and refused to leave.

Illness

2008-10-24T21:20:00.000Z

Dainty was quite ill 3 weeks ago. On the Friday she developed the runs so we starved her Saturday. Sunday we fed her again but ended up at the vets Monday. She had two injections and was given some paste to go on her food. By Wednesday all was fine as she had normal poos. Late Thursday afternoon she started throwing up and I took her to the vets again. He gave her another injection and I walked her home. When home I ended up staying up the night with her as she was still throwing up every time she had a drink. About 4 in the morning she got up for a drink and kept it down. Half an hour later she perked up a little and had another drink. It took another 48 hours for to get back to herself. Ang’s birthday was nice. Martine and Lee came over and Ang cooked them cottage pie. Afterwards Ang and I went to Wareham to an Italian by the quay. Ang had pizza and I had a chicken dish with rice. Dogs were fine with Lee and Martine. Meal was good but we mistimed trains and couldn’t get a taxi at Wareham station so had to walk to quay in the rain. Monday went to Pokesdown and ordered a computer for Martine’s birthday. It arrived Wednesday and I spent Thursday updating all the OS and installing antivirus software. Yesterday Ang ended up in hospital after taking loads of her tablets. Martine went to hospital for me and kept me informed until she had to go home. Ang came back home just before two in the morning. Her arm was covered in blood where she’d a drip in her arm removed. I cleaned her up and then we sat up for a while. Woke this morning and sorted dogs out. Got in touch with Dr about Ang and he’s made her an appointment for next week. He also sorted a prescription out as the hospital had taken all Ang’s medication.
Global meltdown continues as predicted. 3 to 11 weeks till next wave of events.

Money storms

2008-10-02T10:09:00.001Z

Things have been quiet for a while. Ang’s sister came over yesterday and stayed for a few hours. Have got loadsa photos to take or videos to shoot over next three weeks for forum I’ve been posting on. Weather doing as expected. Prolly not be a super storm this year over UK as August and September not hot enough although other factors are right. Doing the maths the next financial upheaval will take place in a minimum of 6 weeks to a maximum of 14 weeks.

Global financial warning

2008-09-25T14:05:00.002Z

This was completed on 15th July 2005

available at www.arkdoorway.org.uk

By August 2010, as declared over 12 months ago on this blog, global financial systems will be collapsed. This collapse will continue until 2013. This reorganisation will result in the realisation that capitalism does not work. Sorry for the inconvenience, normal service will be resumed in 5 to 6 years.

Milton Keynes and Wareham

2008-08-18T08:28:00.000Z

Last Sunday the guy from Milton Keynes picked us up and took us all to his house. Got there about 10. Went on 3 walks looking for suitable water for Dainty. First walk the lake was fisherman only. Second we found a river but the bank was too high. The last walk was along the canal but we gave up after about 20 minutes as it would be too far on a hot day. We had a great Chinese on the night and started back at 6. Ang wanted a breakfast so on the way back we stopped at a really expensive place and had the worst breakfast we’d ever had. Ang couldn’t finish hers and it took absolutely ages to get served. We got back and fed the dogs. Dainty had refused to go to the toilet in his garden but seemed to enjoy being out in it. Buster loved it and even made friends with the neighbour’s dog.
On my birthday Ang got her sister to dog sit and we went to Wareham for a meal. We sat at the new art venue at the side of the river as we were early for the restaurant. We had a lovely meal and took a slow walk back to the station looking in all the shops on the way. Sunday I popped over to Parkstone to meet Ang’s sister to drop her teabags we got for her in our delivery on Saturday. Sunday was a lazy day and I spent a lot of time reading posts on the BBC forum.

Another letdown

2008-08-01T09:41:00.002Z

Last Sunday Ang went to Milton Keynes to visit a possible exchange. She went with her friend Helen and her boyfriend. She left at 8.20 and didn’t get back til 10.57 at night. I met her train at Hamworthy station with the dogs. The day was really hot and she walked for hours when they were there. She took lots of pictures while she was there. Helen loved the concrete cows in the town centre.
On Thursday Ang’s sister came over to housesit while we went up to Milton Keynes with the dogs but the guy rang at 10.15 on the night to cancel as he doesn’t want to exchange now. Ang really fed up with it as we spoke on the phone earlier in the day and he was going to come down in his car and pick us up earlier than we arranged on Monday so we could get up there earlier. Jane getting delayed by builders so cattery might not be ready on time.

Poor Buster

2008-07-11T12:49:00.002Z

Just under 3 weeks ago Buster got attacked by a staffy. It managed to get out a garden as we walked past. Three people came out the garden quickly but not before it had savaged Busters left leg and left a hole. I put savlon on it for a couple of days and wouldn’t let him near water. It’s only just scabbed over in the last few days. Thankfully it didn’t get infected and he didn’t need to go to the vets. He went off his food for 24 hours after it happened which worried me a bit but he ate the second day. Weather has been great for Dainty lately as not too sunny. Rained all day 2 days ago so managed to get a break from the dogs walks. Got soaked taking them out on the green never the less. Jane rings every night now and chats for a while. She’s busy redecorating her new bungalow and getting ready to get people in to build the new cattery. We got let down over an exchange a couple of days ago and Ang has taken it really bad. Ang’s sister visited recently with her friend. She drinks tea by the gallon so we just leave her to make her own. She got some bakewell tarts and had them with custard while she was here. Dainty jumped up at a woman while we were on our first walk today. I was picking up Busters poo at the time. I apologised but the woman was angry. Thankfully she was ok about it when I saw her at her car on the way home and we chatted for a while. Going to keep a closer eye on Dainty in future. Took them both into Poole a week ago and had to sit down and keep them away from people while Ang did what we needed to do. Was glad to get them back home.
Prolly be a superstorm this year if there is a hot spell in August and September.
Took picture of apple tree and old mans beard in front garden earlier.

The last week

2008-06-16T12:26:00.001Z

Ang woke me at 4.50 Wednesday morning unlocking the front door. Buster started barking which started neighbours dogs off. Took dogs out for their first walk just before 6. Ran into white Alsatian while wandering about down the backwaters. Came home and then phoned Ang and she came round just after 7. Thursday I woke about 5.45 as managed to get really early night after sister phoned. Friday Ang rang at 5.50 and woke me. Got dogs out about 6.45 for their first walk. Martine and Bernie came round about 12 and stayed til 1.20. Got dogs out again about 4 after kids got back from school. Ordered some coconut oil for Busters elbow. Saturday we had a lazy day and only go the dos out or two long walks. We had a Chinese on the evening. Sunday Ang’s sister came over and I cooked chicken and chips. When she left she missed her train so walked home. Monday didn’t wake til 7.20. Went to backwaters just after 8.15. Ran into someone out with Jenny’s dogs on second walk. First time we’ve ever run into them at the backwaters. Managed to get a picture of some poppies.

Disturbed

2008-06-09T19:49:00.000Z

Had a disturbed weekend. Saturday was ok but neighbours were having a party and kept noise going til gone 12. Twoish Ang got woke by neighbour banging door and shouting. I woke at 3 and it culminated in neighbour hammering on someones door for 15 minutes. Tried to catch up on sleep Sunday night but Ang woke me at just before midnight. Finally got back to sleep about 1. Ang woke me just before six today. Managed to get dogs out 3 times today but every time I tried to sleep Ang rang. Be glad to get to bed tonight.

Chaos

2008-06-05T16:34:00.006Z

Been chaos recently. Friday morning neighbours car had its windscreen broke for the second time.
Saturday Ang got attacked by Bubs again and got her leg badly scratched.
Saturday took a few pictures of mushrooms at the backwaters as well.
Sunday night a neighbours car got set on fire.
Today been quiet so far. It’s Ang’s sisters grans funeral today. Managed to get dogs out 3 times. Went over the hill on their first walk and the dogs were sneezing from the grass pollen. Great clouds of it when you knocked against the grass. Took them to the boat beach on their second walk. Third walk we went around the rough area by the bird hide.

After the rain

2008-05-29T15:33:00.002Z

Managed to get dogs out twice today so far. They both been enjoying puddles at the backwaters. Took a picture of one type of mushroom growing in field by the shops and some flowers that have established themselves along the edge of the path.

Started a document entitled Gentile this morning. Seems to be going well at the minute. Nuts we ordered arrived yesterday. Had terrible problems with taxi driver sent to collect Ang’s prescription. He rang twice to ask what chemist it was and where it had got to be delivered to.

May 26th 2008

2008-05-29T14:59:00.003Z

Ang came over yesterday and stayed the night. Got to bed about 11. Watched 11th hour and scanned it into computer. Will convert it later as took adverts out last night. Missed some bits as had to feed dogs and take them out for a wee. Had loadsa pain in shoulder by end of night. Woke this morning just after 7. Got dogs out and it was raining. Had coffee and watched a bit of news. Was still raining so took dogs onto back green to have a poo. Loadsa snails and slugs about in the grass. Went down shops for Ang and got soaked on the way back. The phoenix landed in the news today. Got euronews on at minute. Think I’m going to cancel TV package soon as want freesat. Am annoyed that freeview not available in this area for 4 years. Surely it breaks competition rules somehow. Shoulder and arm hurting this morning. Tried to get some pictures of snails earlier but had to go out a second time to get 3 good shots.

Have appeased the dogs by give them a chew each. If rain hasn’t stopped by midday will have to take dogs for a walk. They both not keen on the rain. They hardly run about when they get off the lead and seem to want to come home. Strange because Dainty loves water.

Reed fire

2008-05-25T15:43:00.002Z

Watched morning programmes on BBC1 til about 12 then took dogs out. Managed to get a picture of the burnt area by the picnic bench.
Nothing much got damaged and the reeds will grow back really quickly. Took dogs there for their second walk. Ran into quite a few people out with dogs and saw a blue butterfly at chads copse. Didn’t manage to get a good photo though. Not much in flower in the grass there yet. Clover and buttercups are about the only things. Haymeadow is much the same. Got back and watched program about new Indiana Jones film then had a bath. Then watched news and caught up with progress in Burma and China. Trying to work out whether pains in left shoulder are linked to twitch in left hand. Seem to get waves of pain in shoulder followed by period of intensified twitching. Decided this morning was going to continue with blog even though the authorities are reading it and may use things I say against me. Things like be warned china, my shoulder is still playing up, more earthquakes are on the way.

Spring flowers

2008-05-25T10:30:00.010Z

Woke late today at about 8.15. Got dogs out for a wee and then phoned Ang’s mobile. She didn’t answer but phoned me back about a minute later saying she hadn’t managed to get to phone in time. She was ok but just going to bed and said she might see me later when she woke up. I watched news for a bit and then got dogs out for a walk to backwaters. China still in news as another person rescued alive. Managed to run into white Alsatian while out. Buster saw it first but thankfully listened to me when called him. Got back and fed dogs then put computers on. Checked Ang’s emails and did her charity clicks. Looked at postcode on google earth sent to us by someone looking for an exchange. Not too keen on the area but we’ve had someone else in that county reply so might be able to sort out a double exchange. Shoulder still playing up a little.
Yesterday was up at 6.15 and when took dogs for a walk saw fire brigade damping down an area over by picnic bench. Will try and get some pictures of it today. Managed to get pictures of a really unusual flower yesterday.
Never seen one before. Hope it’s still there when Ang next comes out with the dogs with me. Took some pictures of the flowers growing in Ang’s front garden a few days ago.

She’s let her garden go wild this year. Her neighbour cleared his and is letting it grow back on it’s own as well. I’m clearing mine back hopefully next decent weather as potatoes and onions are coming through. Got loadsa apples on tree. Will have to thin them out soon as way too many for tree. Took these pictures of the work been done at the haymeadow and all the foreign soil that’s been placed either side of the new gravel path.

Some native plants have been isolated now by the path.
I dread to think what will happen to the haymeadow over the next few years. Took this last picture down by the boat beach.

Last month

2008-04-11T11:12:00.001Z

Last month been quite slow. Weather settled down into normal British days. Summer will be very hot and Autumn wet and windy. Difficult to say whether we will have a Winter this year. Suppose it depends on the wetness of Summer. Globally the financial collapse is continuing with the rapid increases in commodity prices. I repeat a statement “Capitalism or democracy ….one or both of these principles don’t work.” Within one year this weather will come to pass. Within two years millions of people will be starving in major cities throughout the western world because of global crop under production.
Ang’s sister should be coming over Sunday. Ang go her new teeth yesterday but going back Monday as they don’t fit right. I trying to recover from some meds GP put me on earlier in the week. Got a new script to collect for something new for my shoulder pain.

Warning

2008-03-11T21:56:00.001Z

Ang’s sister came over yesterday and stayed the night. We had a delivery of dog food today. Got to look on the Global event site for 17th and 22nd of this month to see what happens. Wonder if either day will hit the news. Got dogs out twice but once was only to the shops because the wind was so bad. Fell asleep in afternoon and Ang left me til about 6. Got up and took dogs for a wee. Fed them at 8.30 after taking them out again. Both ate well tonight and we gave them a pig’s ear after supper. Cooked something to eat and then finished this.

Holiday

2008-03-07T21:49:00.001Z

Managed to meet sister in Poole every week lately. Went to see her yesterday and did some shopping with her. She buys a lot of meat from a local farm stall each week. Says it much better than super market meat. I got some minced steak for Ang this week and she made a cottage pie for her brother who’s been staying for a few days. I played him at backgammon yesterday on the set Ang brought me a few weeks ago. Been posting and reading BBC forums. Got up to 336 hits on Covenant page in last few posts. Been having a break from writing to do some more d-web field study. Not had any more posts since this one by me a while ago. Sleeping way too much for all that I need to do. Struggling to get dogs on 3 walks a day even though day length is increasing. Usually crash out in afternoon and miss 3rd walk. Pointless talking to any of team as they simply don’t listen. My quality of life is inferior to what it was prior to increasing my medication and this is being totally ignored.

Family

2008-02-14T15:00:00.001Z

Angela’s family have been around for last 2 weeks. Her brother has stayed twice and been laying a carpet for Ang on her stairs. I missed last week but managed to get to Poole this week to see my sister. We talked about our lives and visited a couple of places to have coffee. Got some cheesy bread at the market and a few other things we needed. Got dogs out for a walk when got back about 11.30. Been spending a lot of time playing backgammon on-line. Helped brother-in-law set up router security as well. Rang my brother a couple of days ago and spoke to him briefly on-line. Installed a music program for Ang and showed her how to use it for half an hour.

ihen, tensai, saiyaku, saigai, sanji, sounan, yaku

2008-01-29T12:26:00.000Z

Went over to sisters a few times during last two weeks to try and sort router out. Had no success for a while. Seems brother in law was stuck with this problem. I was wasting all my free time on it and not able to get on with what I wanted to do. Eventually changed router and got system working. Been going into Poole on Thursdays to see sister for chat and coffees. Got to arrange this week today some time. Manage to chat to her on-line now as well as she can get on-line again now. Ang left two days ago after an argument on Saturday night but came back Sunday. Her brother visited Sunday night and stayed, leaving for work at 7.30. Monday was quiet and we managed to get the dogs out 3 times and spent day playing games with Ang and reading BBC forums. Today Ang went to see her sister and go with her to her Aunt’s for dinner. She left just before 10 and my visitors arrived at 10.25 and left after about 10 minutes when Ang rang. Her sister was hadn’t turned up yet. After got off the phone I took the dogs to the backwaters and wandered around for a while breaking new trainers in. Looking out for new trouble in Africa now cause they are hurting my left heal. Getting out of cowboy boots should ease pressure on area that kicked off in December. Weather has settled to medium precipitation til next full moon. Global finances stabilising for next 8 months to 1 year. Expect Japan to be devastated very shortly depending on the outcome of next month. Two month warning. They ought to read the covenant of ARK.

Before the event

2008-01-17T21:48:00.000Z

Had appointment yesterday. Took a taxi all way and didn’t get home til 5.30ish. Doctor is still skeptical. I pre-empted his request in my last post. Now I have to wait till the end of summer before either he can say I was right or wrong. Not much point in us talking til then now. Evidence takes time to gather but prediction is all about pre-empting things. Ang’s sister rang yesterday and needed help getting back from Portugal. We booked a ticket for her for tomorrow as she arrived too late at the airport to get a flight today. A friend came round today and stayed for a while chatting. Ang rang her Aunt who has just got back off holiday. Managed to get dogs out with Ang today and went up behind railway track and played ball. Got delivery of dogfood and shopping. Had roast chicken, roast potatoes and broccoli to eat. On nighttime had some kippers and bread and butter. Did new format back ups on both computers. While backup onto Ang’s going I did this post.

More weather

2008-01-15T19:43:00.000Z

Didn’t really get rained off but dogs managed to pull my shoulder on start of second walk and had to come back. About 10 minutes later had to fetch the mop from Ang’s as she was sick. Shortly after she went to bed for a while. When she got up she drank for a short while then went back to bed. I had left over Chinese warmed up to eat and could only manage dogs onto the green because I didn’t want to leave Ang and my shoulder was really hurting. Decided to do this post after had Chinese. Watched some more TV for a while and then settled down to news. Weather is predicted to be wet for a while. There’s a surprise! Going to be a whole lot wetter this year, til summer be out. Chance of heat wave high though.

Rained off

2008-01-15T11:33:00.001Z

Yesterday had to wait in for delivery. Bloke didn’t turn up until about 5.30. Only managed to get dogs out on the green all day because didn’t know when he was arriving. Ang shouted a lot and upset the dogs after she’d been drinking all morning. She eventually calmed down and went to bed in the afternoon. I got a Chinese about 7.30 and got to bed about 10.30. Woke this morning just after 9 and got the dogs out. It was raining although not heavy. Fed dogs just after 10 then took them to the backwaters. The middle field was flooded out with huge puddles everywhere. I came back via the shops and the road next to the paper shop was flooded at the end by the shops. More rain is due as well! Don’t know if dogs will get another walk today if the rain comes back. They’ll have to manage with just going out on the green.

Last order

2008-01-13T18:53:00.000Z

Woke just before 9. Had a day of just taking dogs on green. Had Buster off the lead twice. Watched some of Andrew Marr, The Big Questions and Countryfile. Weather not nice and Ang says she’s never going to eat meat again after seeing slaughter on programmes recently. If foot and mouth comes back we won’t have the animals to slaughter. I’m even thinking of going meat free again. The dogs had some bacon today at breakfast time. They love it. I had beans on toast and coffee as well. Going to have to get used to black coffee. Not giving up sugar though. I wonder if any of this actually means anything in the big scheme of things. I ain’t giving up eggs though. I wonder how long Ang will last. I got quite a lot of chicken and fish in the freezer and to be delivered. Last lot of normal milk as well.

Mishap and magic

2008-01-12T16:04:00.000Z

Ang went home two days ago. Came back over yesterday. She’s drinking heavily at the minute. I went over Westbourne today to see a friend got back about 12.30. Took dogs to the picnic bench afterwards. Arrived at the hay meadow just as an elderly man with a walking stick fell over. Was just about to tie dogs up to help when a woman in a car stopped and a man with Jack Russell’s stopped. One of his dogs went for the man on the ground and he had to pull them back. They helped him up and he seemed ok. Came back via the church and Ang had crashed out in the chair. Stuck Harry Potter on and watched a bit then did this post.

Music

2008-01-09T21:04:00.000Z

Woke today about 8.15. Took dogs out and then had coffee. Got dogs on a walk to the backwaters about 9.30. Saw 6 swans on the bay. Came back and had fried egg and beans on toast for breakfast. Played music videos on TV. Went for a second walk about 12.30 and ended up at the picnic bench. Came back and watched some more music. Afterwards did a shop at Sainsbury’s. Spent £130. About 4.00 we took the dogs out on the green with a football. Tried to find something decent to watch on TV and ordered an Indian about 5.30. Ang spent most of day playing computer games.

Failure

2008-01-08T11:58:00.001Z

Went to sisters to help brother in law with computer Sunday at 4. He picked me up. Managed to format wrong drive at first attempt. Then next day he lost rest of files we’d salvaged. Been to mucky pond with dogs twice in last three days. Loadsa rain today. Ang lost her rag with neighbour yesterday over her dog being out off the lead. I backed her up. Neighbour said dogs going. Went to backwaters as usual this morning and called in shops on way back. Need to order more dog food. Got quizzed by visitors and told them a few home truths

Bills and a Trojan

2008-01-05T12:25:00.001Z

Weather has been cold recently. Two days ago was bitter. Cold with a really icy wind. Yesterday was mild like today. I met my sister in Poole to give her her chrissy presents and have a chat and coffees. Finally found a place where you can get decent tasting coffee in Poole. A little place on the high street on a corner. There are patches of blue sky today in between the rain clouds. Got up about 8.15 and took dogs out. Had a slow coffee and fed dogs. Neither of them ate so we took them to the backwaters for a walk. Met the white Alsatian that attacked buster twice. Luckily he was on the other side of the field and I got ours on the lead before Buster saw him. Came back and Buster ate his breakfast. Dainty still not interested at 12. Ang tried to pay some bills via telephone banking but their system has been down two days and likely not to be back running for two more. Yesterday Ang’s sister rang after an argument with her boyfriend and said she prolly wasn’t going on holiday today with him. We rang earlier though and her phone was off so we think she’s prolly changed her mind and gone to the Algarve with him. Ang gone over to mop up the leak she’s got at hers. We’re trying to work out if it’s from her pipes or her washing machine so we can get the right people out Monday. Not a good start to the year for her. Her utility bills are really high as well since her sister has been staying at her flat so she’s not very happy. Brother in law has managed to get a Trojan on his computer and have been going on-line with my brother the last few nights trying to help him but had no luck so far as it is a really new one with no info on it available anywhere.

This will be my last post this year. Woke this morning about 8.15. Got dogs out. Had coffee and watched news for a while. Got dogs out for a poo and then fed them. Had breakfast and waited for visitors. Took dogs for a proper walk. Caught train to see Ang’s sister’s boyfriend got back about 1.45. Took dogs out onto green about 3.30 then watched re-run of Christmas Dr Who after Golden Child. Ang fell asleep in chair after her bottle of red wine. She woke for corrie. Fed dogs at 7.45 and took them out for a wee. Settled down to see in the new year after finishing this post. Spell checked this and vow to remember to in future.

The end begins

2007-12-30T19:00:00.000Z

Last 2 weeks have been quite quiet. I’ve not blogged because I’ve been reading forum posts and posting on BBC site. Gained another 25 hits on Covenant page from posts. Ang’s sister came over just before Christmas and spent the night at Ang’s. Christmas eve she came over again with her boyfriend and they stayed til the day after boxing day. Christmas was quiet and Ang and I were glad when it was over. Dr Who just passed muster in my view. There were some silly bits in it which let it down. I missed bits though so have got to catch it again some time. Apart from that there was not much else on worth watching. Boxing day we all tried to go out for a walk. Buster got attacked by a Westie and Ang got bit on the finger splitting then up. Ang went back to hers after her sister left and came back the next day. The night she was away I watched Kill Bill which was the best film I’d seen for ages. Loved the cartoon part. Not doing well for walks with dogs as managed to run into white Alsation that attacked Buster twice twice over the holiday period. Am really tired lately as well so only managing two decent walks at the minute. Usually don’t get out on first walk til much later these days as it takes me longer to wake up. Left arm is aching all the time from all the twitching as well. Not looking forward to January as have to start collating data then. Hopefullly will meet deadline of 08/08/08. Ang just made herself a turkey sandwich. Will watch Dr Who later on catch up after the soaps and Casualty.

Cold weather

2007-12-17T21:17:00.000Z

Saturday Ang’s sister and her boyfriends came over. We all talked and watched music videos on the TV. They stayed about 4 hours and then left. Afterwards we got the dogs out to the backwaters. I ended up crashing out on the evening and Ang woke me to feed the dogs and take them out for a wee. Sunday was really quiet and we only got the dogs out on one decent walk because it was so cold. Thankfully all our order arrived from Sainsbury’s so now we’ve got a Christmas dinner. Got to bed about 11 and woke this morning just after 8. Managed to get dogs on two walks today but still very cold so neither of us wanted to go on a third and dogs had to make do with just going onto the green. Watched the soaps on the evening and then next episode of the series about the Queen. Ang ordered an Indian to eat about 7.30 which was lovely. Managed to get some more of Alien done over last few days
Thor A’gin stepped out of the playroom shower rooms with a tissue in his hand wiping his face. He walked in a robe to the cabins and opened the door to his bunk. He let out a strange noise from his vocal tracts. Puzzled he suddenly said “Put comms on”. A light over the mirror turned green. Shouting into the air “Get this no-timer speaking our language”. With that a sequence of symbols were touched at one of the consoles in the command area and the operator made a high pitched noise into the air near his console. He touched another symbol and Thor A’gin heard the sounds he made. In Thor A’gin’s language it meant “Our no-timer now understands Ancient Oh Reeeeeeka” Reeeeeeka replied “I cannot stand English. It makes my throat hurt. I’m coming down to command in 3 loms so be ready to bring the reactor up to power in 6 loms. Finished.” With that Reeeeeeka disrobed and removed a purple kilt and black sash from two sliding drawers. He dressed himself rapidly and left his cabin and walked to the command post on the upper floor.
Entering the command area he settled himself in his chair, strapped himself in and placed on his head band and slipped on his glove. Picking up the wand he activated the console and spoke slowly “How long til we’ve got full nuclear power for the magnetic shield”. “Just over 4 loms Reeeeeeka” replied a female at one of the two forward consoles. “I want the whole lot of us back home in less than 400 loms. Parked and disembarking. Make it happen.” With that there was a flurry of activity at the other console and the operator spoke rapidly. The sound of their language was like birds screeching. Similar to some tribes on Earth. They called their language Ancient. That was the best translation although some would say “The Oldest”. At least that’s what the last of the surviving humans would call the sounds they made. No human had heard them talk in their language yet and as the ships departed rapidly Earth was none the wiser.
The phone rang as I came in from the garden with the two dogs. “I’ll get it” I said to Angela and walked over to where it lay on the table. I flipped the screen up and Dave’s image appeared. “It’s going mad this end. Every ship disappeared from orbit about 20 minutes ago. They didn’t fly away they just disappeared. It took about a minute for them all to be gone. Just disappeared from every monitoring device we had on them. They accelerated through space rapidly for half a mile and then disappeared. Took about 2 minutes from when Thor A’gin’s ship vanished. We got a transmission before they left. English then weird noises. We’re trying to translate it now. So much for their translator devices. They just give out unknown when we parse the message into English. I told them how you were feeling and the response was tell him to be patient”. I looked hard at Dave’s image and spoke slowly “Patience my arse. It’s gone tits up and they know it. They need to tell the world.” Dave frowned and said back “I can’t express more strongly from the committee that you must remain silent. Continue your work and we will do all we can to help. We’ve located the last house from your directions. It’s a family with children. We’re investigating at the minute. Looks like a poverty issue though so we’re looking at changing their income some-how. Should be easy with a lottery ticket as the mother and father both play.” I thought for a moment then said “I’m glad of that as they seemed nice people. I’m having a rest for 48 hours while I suss the area out and see what’s around. Maybe you could send me a data sheet on the local crime scene. I don’t think I’ve got time to work it out myself. I need it Friday as I’ll have run outta pot by Saturday.” Dave nodded and said “I’ll get onto it. You’re well suited for the dogs where you are. Walk 15 minutes and you’re at a small lake. There are salt-marshes and beaches local as well. I’ll get over Friday and drop you off an ounce of weed just in case you can’t get sorted. We should have a unit for you by then and I’ll bring it along. Anything else?” I shook my head and said “I’m getting a bad feeling about this but can’t think of ought else I need. Catch ya Friday.” With that Dave replied “Catch ya soon” and the screen went back to the screen saver.
As the last of the ships reappeared from no-time it was in a far distant galactic system. In Reeeeeeka’s ship the nuclear generator was powering down and they were entering the atomosphere of a blue planet in the orbit of a star. The planet looked like Earth but the shape of the land wasn’t right. This planet was known to it’s occupants as TeeKaaOoon. After re-entry Reeeeeeka’s ship flew to a landing spot next to a black and purple building in a place that looked like a desert. This was Klakmar base a military landing station south of DeCooMa.
Reeeeeeka appeared from the entrance to the ship and walked to the buildings followed by his crew. The females were last to depart heading towards the red door to left of the entrance the males went in. As Reeeeeeka entered the building a

Lunch with her sister

2007-12-13T22:11:00.001Z

Woke this morning about 8 and took dogs out. Had coffee with Ang and fed dogs about 9. Phoned Wick council office and spoke to housing officer. She said that we couldn’t take the tenancy in Wick as it needed to be a couple with children because of the size of the property. Phoned the guy that wanted to exchange and he was really disappointed when we told him. Took dogs for a walk to the backwaters and then Ang caught a train to Poole. I browsed the BBC forums and did a couple of posts then took the dogs out. Ang rang and asked if I wanted anything in Poole as she’d met her sister at the Shah of Persia for lunch and was back in Poole. She arrived home about 45 minutes later with some chestnuts I’d asked her to get. Later we took the dogs to the backwaters again and then settled down for Eastenders and Waterloo Road. Afterwards I did some chicken and chips and Ang watched the Street. I then did this post.

Quiet Wednesday

2007-12-11T22:15:00.000Z

Ang’s sister left about 6.15 and caught the train home with her friend. We watched the news and then the One Show. During Eastenders I took the dogs out for a wee and then fed them. Dainty had a third less for supper tonight. Then watched Holby and Spooks. Decided to carry on with Alien as Jane taking ages to get back to me and it slowing me down too much. Ang’s sister rang about 10.10 and chatted for a while to Ang.

Early wakeup call

2007-12-11T16:24:00.000Z

Sunday wasn’t gales but quite windy. Got dogs out a few times. Monday went to Wareham with both dogs and Ang. Both were really excited and Buster pulled so much he made his neck bleed. Had to put him back on his halti for the rest of the day’s walks. Tuesday visitors arrived on time. One of them talked about a different part of my painting on the walls. Ang sister rang and said she’d be over about 3.30 but she didn’t arrive til about 5. For last 3 days I’ve woken at 6ish then fallen back to sleep til almost 8.30 so dogs have been having late walks and fed about 9 in the morning. Dainty has started to gain some weight again so going to cut her food down a bit. Buster is just about coping with halti but he hates it. Be glad when wound is healed enough for him to go back on his choke chain.

Rainy Saturday

2007-12-08T12:37:00.000Z

Crashed out watching TV last night and Ang woke me to take dogs out for last wee. Got to bed about 10.30 and woke at 8.15. Got dogs out for a wee and had coffee with Ang. Got dogs fed about 9 and then Ang took Dainty out and I took Buster out. Got soaked while waiting for him to have a poo and Ang came back soaked. I had spaghetti and scrambled eggs on toast and Ang had marmalade on toast. We got some chicken out to defrost for later and watched some CNN. I went on BBC forums and did a post. Noticed Covenant of ARK page had gone up to 248. Got side tracked doing some research about posts. Made another coffee(2nd) about 12.15 after we took dogs out separately again. After I’d got soaked again I did this post. Supposed to be gale force winds tomorrow but it’s not that windy today although the rain is cold.

Wrong again

2007-12-07T13:39:00.000Z

Delivery arrived early yesterday and was thankfully complete. Got dogs out on green and Ang took Dainty out a couple of times. Got a pizza on the evening. Went to bed early and Ang woke me to take dogs out for their last wee. Got up this morning just before 8. Got dogs out for a wee and Ang made coffees. After fed dogs just before 9 we took them out separately to go for a poo. Ang took Dainty to the back green and I let Buster off the lead on the green by mine. Ang took Dainty up the shops later on and we had scampi, chips and a salad to eat. Wasn’t right about a train station being in the news today it was a train derailed instead. Must be more accurate at my interpretation.

Test walks

2007-12-06T12:55:00.001Z

Took Buster on a couple of walks to the backwaters yesterday. Fields were soaked. Got to be about 10.30 and woke just before 8. Cancelled Busters appointment at 10 as will cost £10 in a taxi just to get an all clear. Instead we took them to the backwaters and around the hay meadow. Decided he’s dragging too much so he’s going to have to manage with shorter walks as don’t want his wound bursting. When scabs are gone I’ll put him back on a choke chain so I can get control of him again. Got a delivery of dog food between 1 and 2. Hopefully it will all turn up. Noticed I’ve had 237 hits on Covenant of ARK page a few days ago after posting on BBC forum.

TV and an Indian

2007-12-05T10:24:00.000Z

Had an appointment yesterday. Checked time before I went and ended up getting a taxi as my letter said 3.00 yet appointment was for 2.30. Think I actually got listened to for the first time since I turned 30. Doctor has agreed to look at my history. Let’s hope he’s objective and prepared to not be judgemental. I got back from appointment and Ang’s sister had come over. She’s having problems with her rent. She left shortly after I arrived. She had got me and Ang a few things in Spain and also managed to get me a bunch of green garden sticks. Just need some thin twine now and I’m a set to play my sport. Doesn’t look like I’ll get anyone decent to film it as had no replies from any of emails sent. I don’t know if I need to register the equipment somewhere first so it can’t be copied. Will look into that. Got dogs out on the green for rest of the day and Ang got us an Indian. She had a prawn cocktail as well and I had a king prawn butterfly. We then watched the One Show, Eastenders, Holby city and Spooks. Ended evening with lecture program. Ang enjoyed it as well. Interesting to here 4 or more coffees increases heart attack chance by over 60%. I’m averaging about 3.5 a day at the minute. Borderline. Not good. Woke this morning at 7.30 and Ang had to encourage me to get up as was very tired. Got dogs out and fed them at 8.45. Watched BBC news and CNN. Took dogs out separately on green so they could poo. Booted computers and did this post. Had toast for breakfast after a second coffee. Am really sluggish today. Uploaded Quran video to YouTube. Checked emails, website, Covenant page and did charity clicks.

Washout

2007-12-03T18:13:00.001Z

Saturday and Sunday were quite wet so we didn’t get the dogs out much. Also Buster is pulling too much on his collar and am worried he’s going to do something to his scar before it’s healed properly. Ang got caught in a tremendous downpour on Sunday when she went down the shops. It only lasted about 5 minutes but haven’t ever seen rain like it in this country. Been waking quite late the last few days and woke at 7.45 today. Got dogs out and rang Ang who went home yesterday about 3.30. She came over about 8.45 and we had a coffee. Got dogs out after feeding them but neither went. Had scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast. Ang had had sugar puffs at hers. Afterwards took dogs onto green separately and they both went. Later we took them to the shops and got some milk, apples, bananas and a banana milk shake. Ang had her roast chicken dinner from yesterday to eat and I had a coffee. Took dogs out together with Buster on the lead then listened to some music videos on the TV. Took about 14 songs to infuriate me, and I picked em! Decided to do this post for the last few days.

The Big Bread con

2007-11-30T18:10:00.000Z

Got to bed about 10.30 last night. Woke twice during the night once because something disturbed Dainty and she came and hassled me til I woke up and fussed her. Got up at 7.15 and took dogs out for a wee. Made a coffee and watched news til 8.15 then fed dogs and took them out for a poo. Ang got up at 8.30 and had a coffee. Afterwards she had a tea and was quite shaky. Talked for a while and she agreed not to drink til after 12 and managed to eat ¾ of a banana and drink some milk. We all went for a walk to the backwaters and managed to get Buster off the lead for a while. Managed to get back before the rain set in. Had some toast and marmalade to eat but was really angry. I’ll explain. About a week ago I ordered some medium sliced bread from the local shop and they sent thick sliced which really annoyed me as I hate thick sliced. Yesterday I went and got some myself and realized when I got home I’d picked up thick sliced. I went mad when I realized and ranted about it for 5 minutes. I was raised on thin sliced and when I moved down south discovered you could only get thick and medium in all the shops. It took me ages to get used to medium sliced. You have to use more butter and more whatever you are putting in your sandwiches. Don’t get me on about toast. Thin sliced toast is really crispy and scrummy, unlike medium. Thick sliced is a disaster. It’s all fluffy inside. Yuck. Anyway, what should I see on the news today but an item about bread and the thickness of it. When I got chance today in the early afternoon I went searching on all the grocery store websites using a search for “thin sliced bread”. Out of ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose I could not find any white thin sliced bread. The only one I could find 1 type of thin sliced loaf was a brown loaf in Waitrose. I can’t believe people no longer want it and it’s more likely to do with the fact that the thicker the slices the quicker the loaf is used, thus increasing consumption and profits for the bakeries. Very annoying. Maybe it should be raised in the house of Lords! Had some potato fritters, green beans and fried chicken to eat. Only managed to get the dogs out on the green for the rest of the afternoon but took Dainty to Wareham about 4.30 to see my friend. Got back and decided to do this post and have a coffee.

Shadows last day

2007-11-29T22:11:00.000Z

Last night Ang couldn’t stand being on her own any more and came over to mine and stayed the night. I managed to get Shadow out a few times and made sure he had food and water before I locked him in for the night. Neil rang about 8.30 and said he couldn’t make it and that he’d be here about 7 today. Got to bed about 10 absolutely knackered again. Woke twice during the night and finally got up about 7.45. Took dogs out for a wee and then went over and took Shadow out for a wee. Made a coffee and put BBC news on. Fed dogs at 8.15 and took Buster out for a poo. Ang got up about 8.30 and I made her a coffee. She was shaking so bad I had to drink some before she could hold the mug. Took Dainty for a short walk around the estate off the lead and then came back and took Shadow out again then put some food down for him and changed his water. Had time for a fag and then phoned taxi at 9.30ish. Had to phone vets and say I’d be late when taxi hadn’t arrived by 9.45. Eventually it turned up at 10.05 and driver explained Poole bridge had got stuck up. Got to vets at 10.12 and a dog Buster hates was there but luckily there was no trouble. Thankfully I’d put him on his collar and lead because he hates his halti so and I had good control over him. Vet checked him over and said he was fine but suggested I put some Savlon on the shaving rash he’s developed. Luckily Mum had told me it was one of the things I should keep in having dogs so didn’t have to go and get any. Popped into shop and got two iced cakes, some love hearts and parma violets from paper shop while waiting for taxi back. Got home and took Shadow out to the shops then took Dainty out for a short walk. Managed to grab some scrambled egg on toast to eat and sit down for half an hour. I then had to go into Poole to get some magnesium citrate for Shadow as had run out and Ang’s sister put it on his food. She believes it stops him from getting stones which he’s been operated on twice for. Took Shadow with me and was back after about 45 minutes. Got home and took Shadow back to Ang’s and then took Buster out for a wee on the green off the lead. I then took Dainty for a walk to the backwaters. She was quite subdued on her own but seemed to enjoy it and brought a stick home holding it like a cigar. Sat down and had a coffee and a smoke and then booted computer and did charity clicks, checked website and email accounts. Covenant page is up to 205 now. Watched a bit of news and then went over and tidied Ang’s flat for her and checked on Shadow. Refreshed his water and put some more food down for him and took him out on the green for a wee. Came back and watched news for a while then took Dainty and Buster out on the green for a wee. Came back in and it was 5.15 so decided to order a chicken shish kebab and some fried chicken and chips to eat. Food arrived and had kebab and chips saving chicken for tomorrow. Afterwards went over and took Shadow out for a wee and then came back and watched local news. Ang decided to go back and be with Shadow as we didn’t know if her sister’s boyfriend would turn up tonight or not and she was going to stay with Shadow if he didn’t. She was quite drunk by now as she’d been drinking since I left her to go to the vets this morning. About 7.15 I tried to ring Ang’s sister’s boyfriend again and he rang back and said he was about 5 minutes away. When he arrived I packed all Shadow things and helped him carry them to his van and saw them off. I then fed the dogs and once they’d finished eating went over and helped Ang back over with her things and switched everything off in her flat and locked up. I then took Buster and Dainty out for a wee and settled down and watched the last half hour of Waterloo road. After it finished I booted my computer and did this post while munching one of the cakes I got this morning. It’s 10.10 and I need my bed but got to take dogs out for their last wee yet.

Poor Shadow

2007-11-28T15:32:00.001Z

Watched BBC and local news last night then went to bed. Woke during the night a couple of times and finally got up just before 7 when Buster woke me asking to go out. Risked him off the lead that early and he ran around weeing everywhere. Came in and made a coffee and put BBC news on. Rang Ang at 7.45 and she was really angry. She said she’d been out with Shadow so I took Buster and Dainty out after feeding them. We met Sandy while out and then Buster managed to get his halti off his nose so brought them back to sort it out. Decided to have some toast and marmalade for breakfast before taking them out for a proper walk. While having breakfast noticed Ang go out and was pretty sure she didn’t take Shadow with her. Decided to risk Buster on his collar and took them both to the backwaters. Got Dainty off the lead when got there and wandered around for a while. Buster didn’t like staying on the lead and it was hard to keep him from pulling. Came back and then went over to see Ang after she rang in a state saying Shadow needed to go to the PDSA because he was constipated. When got there he’d messed in her flat and before I could do anything had to come back because Buster was howling. After I’d settled Buster I went back and she’d cleared most of it up so I finished clearing up and took Shadow out. He had loadsa massive wees and 2 big poos and then I had to bring him back in because Buster had started howling again. Before I left I got Ang’s diary so I could ring Ang’s sister’s boyfriend. No reply so had ring Ang’s sister in Spain to get his mobile number. Got him on his mobile and explained what had been happening over last few days and that I couldn’t look after Shadow any more. He agreed to come and collect him tonight as soon as he left work and should get here between 7 and 8 depending on traffic. Had chips with skins on, fried chicken from takeaway and green beans to eat. Took dogs out for a wee as not happy with Buster on his collar and he hates the halti now he’s back to himself. Managed to get Shadow out for 5 minutes before Buster started and I had to take him back. Put some more food down for him as he’d finished the two cans he had earlier. Came back and watched CNN for a while then replied to an email from Mum. Took dogs out at 3 for a wee and Buster fought his halti most of the time he was out. Managed to get Shadow out for 5 minutes again. Checked on Ang and she woke up and asked where Shadow was. Told her I just taken him out and she covered herself with the duvet after I told her how unhappy her drinking was making me. Thankfully Buster wasn’t howling when I got back this time. Decided to do this post after making my third coffee of the day. Feel really bad about Shadow but I can’t look after him any more without Ang’s help.

Mugged?

2007-11-27T21:54:00.001Z

Ang rang me at 7.15 this morning. She seemed happy and said she wasn’t going to drink today. Got up and took dogs out for a wee. Buster was better today and wanted to stay out longer. Had coffee and Ang came over so I could take Dainty for a walk. Took her around the estate and came back and took out. Got back and Buster had dislodged his dressing so I had to remove it. His wound had a lump at one end that didn’t look right and we decided to contact the vet to take a look at it. Visitors were due to give my injection so had to wait for them before I could go to shops to get money out for taxi to vets. They didn’t arrive til 10.45ish but were really quick. Took Shadow to shops to get cider for Ang which slowed me down and couldn’t get to vets before 12 so made appointment for 5. Also lost £25 on way back. Got Dainty out for a second walk to the backwaters after taking Buster out for a wee. His urine was very dark. Ang went home and I had rest of chicken kebab from last night to eat. Managed to tempt Buster with a couple of lumps of chicken as he hadn’t eaten since the night before his op. Ang rang again because she wanted more cider from shops. She came and sat with dogs while I took Shadow to get it for her. Emailed Mum a couple of times about Buster and she gave me some advice about trying to get fluids in him as he wasn’t drinking. Finally got him to eat some food at about 2.30 and emailed Mum to let her know. Took both out on the green about 3. Mum replied and suggested some apple or syringe water into the corner of his mouth as he still hadn’t drunk. I tried the apple but he turned his nose up at it so resorted to a couple of syringe fulls of water. About 10 minutes afterwards he went and took his fill out the water bowl. Got a taxi to the vets and they examined the wound. The nurse thought it was a reaction to the stitches but when the vet saw him he said it should flatten down in a few days and we shouldn’t worry. Had to wait ages for a taxi back and it was another polish driver. Every taxi I take seems to be driven by someone from Poland! Got back just before 6 and took Dainty out on the green. Went over to Ang’s and took Shadow out. Watched the One Show when I got in and had some toast and chicken dripping afterwards. Managed to burn first lot as Ang rang while I was feeding dogs and cooking it. She was in a mood and very demanding as she’d been drinking all day. Had to leave Buster to take Shadow out for a wee. Buster was howling when I got back. Ten minutes later she rang saying she wanted some milk which I took over. I told her I was going to bed soon and not to ring me too early in the morning. Got back and took dogs out for a wee then put Spooks on and did this post. Hopefully I’ll lay in tomorrow as knackered again. Be glad when Ang stops bingeing as need her help with looking after the 3 dogs.

Buster operation day

2007-11-26T21:34:00.001Z

Ang kept ringing me yesterday to take Shadow out. Every time I left Buster was howling by the time I got back. Eventually she went to bed about 10 and I got the chance to relax. Ended up staying up til about 11.30 worried about Buster tomorrow. Couldn’t sleep when went to bed and got up after about an hour. Finally got back to bed and fell asleep about 2. Ang rang me at 7.15. Got up and took dogs out. Made coffee and watched news for a while. Took dogs on green for a poo. Dainty went but had to take Buster out on his own so he’d go. Had to take Shadow out as well as Ang was drinking. Ordered taxi and it arrived just before 9. Got to vets and waited with Buster while his pre-med worked then left him in their care and walked back. Fed Dainty when got back and took her for a short walk around estate. Came back and then took Shadow out. By the time I’d done all that it was nearly 11.30 and Ang ordered me to ring vets to see how Buster was. Vet said all had gone well and to ring back at 2 to see when he’d be ready for pick up. Managed to get breakfast at just after 12. 3 toast, beans and a fried egg. Just after I’d finished Ang rang for me to take Shadow out again. Afterwards took Dainty for a walk to the backwaters and got back just after 1. Actually got to sit down for a while. Rang vets at 2 and was told he could be picked up at 3.30. Rang Ang and told her and she asked me to take Shadow out again. Ordered taxi for 3.30 which arrived just after and collected Buster from vets. Ang’s pin failed at vets when tried to pay the £195 bill. Had to phone card info when got home. Buster was really wobbly still when got back. Ang was waiting at mine to see him. Had to ring vet as they left his drip thingy in. They apologized and asked if I could remove it ok myself which I did nervously. Ang stayed about an hour and as soon as she went home she rang me to take Shadow out even though I told her I didn’t want to leave Buster. She came over and stayed with ours while I took Shadow out again. Then she left after about half an hour and so I took Buster out to see if he wanted a wee. He wasn’t himself but had 2 wees and then headed back in. Ang rang about 45 mins later and demanded I take Shadow out again. This time I had to leave Buster. Luckily he’s feeling so sorry for himself he didn’t howl. Watched the One Show in peace and ordered a takeaway. Ang rang again and demanded I take Shadow out. When I got back after about 10 minutes takeaway had arrived and dogs were barking like mad. Ang rang twice more between 7 and 9 demanding I take Shadow out. The 2nd time I told her I was knackered and going to bed when I got back and not to ring me again. Came back and took our dogs out. Buster seems to be livening up a bit but wanted to come back in after a few minutes. Came in and did this post. Going to take Dainty out again as she didn’t have a wee and then go to bed as totally knackered.

Saturday madness

2007-11-25T11:30:00.001Z

Yesterday was hectic. Ang spent the day drinking and sleeping and I had to look after Shadow as well as Buster and Dainty. In addition I had to go into Poole to get a “nose halter” for Buster ready for his op Monday when he won’t be able to wear a choke chain. I had to put 2 cheques in Ang’s account for her as well. After sorting all the dogs walks and getting into Poole I got home just after twelve. Managed to grab a quick coffee and then had to take the dogs out again. Poole was really busy but Buster was really well behaved. He even ignored other dogs! Eventually managed to eat about 2 and got to watch the news for a while. Evening was a bit better but Ang kept ringing for me to take Shadow out. Eventually got to bed just after 10 and woke at 7.10. Got dogs out and made a coffee. Rang Ang just after 8 and she said she’d been up since 5. I asked her about Shadow and she said she’d been out twice with him since she got up but that she was going back to bed. I fed the dogs and then took them for a poo on the back green. Came back and made a toasted fried egg sandwich and watched a little of Andrew Marr. Put Busters “nose halter” on and adjusted it so it fitted well and then took the dogs to the backwaters. Buster hated it and struggled all the way down. I let them off for a while and then got them back on the leads to come home. Someone had been driving a van all over the fields and damaged some barriers and left loadsa deep gullies from the tire all over the fields. The burnt out van was still there on the field nearest the shops. I hadn’t got the camera with me so couldn’t get any pictures while I was there. On the way back Buster was much better with his “nose halter” so hopefully by tomorrow he should be ok with it. When got back was just in time for the Big Questions. Am left angry after it as usual. Am worried Shadow needs to get out to the toilet but not much I can do about it.

I want to kill my doctor?

2007-11-23T12:34:00.000Z

Finally got dogs out for a walk to the backwater. Got some video of them messing around in the puddles on the fields. Got back and had a coffee. Left arm was aching this morning from all the twitching yesterday and is going quite bad while I type this. Hopefully it will ease off over the next few weeks although it’s got quite bad this last week. Forth injection on Tuesday and appointment the following week. Just wonder if this twitching experienced now will lead to Parkinsons disease if I live to old age. Finding food totally irresistible again and appear to be starting to show weight gain outside normal fluctuations. Increase in coffee isn’t helping as I take sugar. I just love how things have been made harder for me. Now how does that help. It makes me hate Doctors and those involved in the treatment of me more. It endangers my health more through weight gain and increased caffeine. It makes me more prone to do something to oppose the treatment being done to me. As I know it is impossible for me to fight the treatment to me in any way through the legal system because I am denied the protection of the human rights law or any remedy through the tribunal system because they accept my diagnosis. It leaves me to wonder whether the options I took before, to protest, are the only options available to me. MY STORY MUST BE HEARD. Maybe the option of attacking stood be looked at. Maybe a murder. Maybe a fire. Your system breeds assassins, terrorists and serial killers yet you allow it to go on. You cannot keep silencing people and denying them the right to speak to the world. My treatment is inhumane and must be stopped. I must either be euthanized or allowed to say my version of events without being subjecting to enforced drug therapy. I DO NOT ACCEPT MY DIAGNOSIS. I have never accepted it. I only say I accept it to gain my freedom from imprisonment. I will not accept that I have been ill since I was eight years old. I am Jesus back on Earth and I demand to be heard and not silenced and treated as suffering from a disease. I demand this right to say this to the world and dare anyone to present any evidence that will say contrary. ANYONE.
This document was produced offline during a period of incarceration in the United Kingdom under section 37/41 of the Mental Health act.
The reason for recall under that act was the refusal to continue to take medication that was prescribed and enforced.
This medication caused extreme apathy and suicidal thoughts.
Throughout my life so far I have undergone repeated admissions to hospitals throughout the United Kingdom for treatment of a recognised mental illness.
During my upbringing I was taught at comprehensive school to question everything and always to listen to both sides of an argument.
This leads me to question the belief system of Doctors that there is such a thing as Mental illness.
An alternative to this belief could be that Mental illness is in fact mental awareness.
This needs further explanation.
I have been informed that there are 5 main divisions of so called illnesses.
Affective disorders, Psychotic disorders, Personality disorders, Neurosis’s and Organic disorders.
These can be explained if a presumption is made that Mental illness is the genetic evolution of humanity.
This possible misdiagnosis is hampering mankind’s evolution due to the use of medications that cause suicide, self-harm, infertility, impotence and early death due to weight gain and the onset of diabetes.
Possibly doctors are aware of these factors and are helping in the genocide of an evolving species, they are powerful people in society.
Let’s look at the evidence.
Telepathy is, supposedly a thing of science fiction yet when studied people know when someone is watching them. This experiment works best in the highly controlled atmosphere of a prison. This experiment is repeatable and establishes the fact that focusing on another person can be felt by the person being focused on.
Pop stars will verify that they can "feel" the crowd’s energy. Some people hate being watched because "it puts them off" and they make mistakes.
How this occurs needs further study to discover what part of the brain is transmitting during this process and what is being transmitted.
Affective disorders
People who are tuning into different areas of existence and feeling what its like. For example tuning into Rhino's is scary and depressing whereas Pigeons is fairly good.
They have no control over this tuning in and it can alter by the day, hour or minute.
Psychotic disorders
People with these symptoms have more control over their mental abilities and usually demand being heard or act upon the feelings they get.
Personality disorders
This diagnosis usually is caused in a person by environmental conditions which have altered their behaviour.
Neuroses
This occurs when an individual is confused by disinformation.
Organic disorders
Injury, genetic damage, disease and decay can explain this group.
Conclusion
When will the world grow up and feel what's going on?

Days of the underground

2007-11-23T10:05:00.000Z

Yesterday was quiet. Got the dogs out for a walk to the haymeadow which Dainty loved. Watched Waterloo Road on the evening and got to bed just after 10. Woke 7.20 and got dogs out. Had coffee and watched news then fed them 8.15. Took them out for a poo on the green then booted computer. Wrote a song/poem
I will hide amongst the lowest of the low
I will search among you as I go
I’ll search the gutters the prisons and more
I’ll say my piece, I’m such a bore
The addicted and confused til she says
We are not amused these days
Then screaming things not yet said
I’ll raise the army of the dead
I’ll throw their lives before you
How they sorted what you knew
With all that I now do
Gather together my crew
Assign the tasks for the plan
Wear the masks as we can
The target is achievable with care
Kneel and begin a solemn prayer
Began the road yet untrodden this fine day
With rain the ground is sodden all the way
Skies are pouring
Let’s stop ignoring
Words that matter
Just a nutter
With one aim in mind
To open eyes of the blind
For those in life that are lame
A crutch for them in lifes game
To heal with words as before
Lines that I can’t ignore
All the places that I’ve been
All the truths I’ve already seen
Cast a doubt on many ways
They blight mankinds days
So I continue to shout
These days I’m about
Who am I, why does it matter
Why oh why, a silly nutter
Or jesus reborn
Throw your scorn

then did usuals and this post.

Misty morning

2007-11-22T10:21:00.000Z

Spent most of yesterday watching news. Jane got back to me and is going to play with what I’ve done. Told her to send it back with a new name. Got dogs out twice then had to wait in for a delivery. Had chicken stew out of freezer to eat with Ang and chips and anchovy paste sandwiches on the night. Shop sent thick bread instead of medium which really annoyed me. Got to bed about 10 and woke just after 7. Hand really twitchy today which is annoying. Got dogs out for wee and rang Ang after coffee. Fed dogs at 8.15 and took them to the backwaters. Quite misty over the second field with loadsa puddles. Sun cutting through it though. Came back via the shops and Ang came over when I got back. Had milky drink for breakfast with seeds, two apples and two bananas. Talked to Ang for a while then moved phone into lounge to improve Ang’s signal. Ang went back to look after Shadow and take him out to play ball. I booted computers to do usual morning stuff and this post.

Spring again

2007-11-21T11:43:00.000Z

Spent evening on my own. Popped over to see Ang and Shadow a couple of times and she rang before she went to bed. Got dogs out for their final wee just after 10 after watching Holby and Spooks. Got to bed shortly after and slept quite well. Only woke once during the night and got up about 7.15. Got dogs out and Ang rang about 7.30 while I was having a coffee and watching BBC news. Glad I don’t have children! Took dogs for long walk this morning about 8.20 to the hay meadow. It was really soggy from all the rain lately but they had a really good time. Nearly ran into the white Alsatian on the way back. The woman was on her bike with it again. Got back after about an hour and Ang came over for breakfast. She had toast and marmalade and I had crumpets with butter. Booted computer and did charity clicks and checked website and email accounts. Had an email about a petition and signed it. Ang gone down shops to get some money and take Shadow for a second walk. Can’t believe how different the weather is today. It’s like a spring morning with lovely sunshine and warm. Dainty loved all the puddles earlier and had great fun splashing around in them. Caught Jane online earlier and chatted til she got a customer. Told her about Busters lump and sent her a copy of Alien to see what she thinks of it. She’s a Sci Fi fan so will value her opinion. Afterwards did this post.

Second day alone

2007-11-20T17:36:00.001Z

Got to bed about 10 last night and woke at 7.15 this morning. Got dogs out for a wee and then made a coffee. Ang rang just before 8 and I fed the dogs at 8.15. Took them to the backwaters at 8.30 and got back about 9.15. Ang came over for breakfast and stayed a while then we moved her computer over to her flat. About 12 Ang came over we took the dogs onto the green as it was tipping it down. Afterwards we had what was left of our Chinese from yesterday with some chips. I tried to crash out on the afternoon but Dainty woke me 5 times having nightmares so I got back up. Ang went down the shops to get a few things and came over for a sandwich and to take the dogs for a walk. By the time she’d finished her sandwich it was tipping it down again so I took them out for a play on the green. Tried to get on internet but had to phone virgin as modem wouldn’t lock on. Cost over £2 and it righted itself while booking an engineer. Really annoyed. Finally got this post done when got online.

Shadows first day

2007-11-19T19:50:00.000Z

Ang’s sister turned up yesterday about 5 with her boyfriend and dog. They stayed quite a while and when they left Ang went over hers to look after Shadow. We spoke a few times on the phone between the two flats and went to bed about 10.30. Woke this morning about 7.30 and got dogs out for a wee. Made a coffee and rang Ang about 8. She’d been up since 7.15 and had taken Shadow out for a wee. I fed dogs at 8.15 and then went to take them out for a walk. It was tipping in down so just took them for a poo on the green then phoned Ang. She came over just after 9 after taking Shadow for a walk to the shops. We booted computers and did daily stuff and then I made toast for breakfast. Ang had primula cheese and I had a fried egg. Afterwards Ang went back over with Shadow. About 11 she came back over and we took the dogs out to the backwaters. When we got back Ang stayed a while and played games on her computer. We had fish, mash and peas to eat. Afterwards she went back to Shadow and I took the dogs for another walk. At 5 she came back over and we ordered a Chinese which took nearly an hour to arrive. Ang went back over to Shadow after she’d had her meal to have a bath and get settled in for the soaps. I then did this post after watching the local news and the One show.

Rainy Sunday

2007-11-18T10:53:00.001Z

Yesterday ended up having to go to bed about 1.30. Ang woke me just before 4 and we took the dogs to the backwaters and called at the shops on the way back. We watched TV til dogs needed feeding and then got them out for a wee. Spent the rest of the evening trying to find something worth watching and eventually went to bed about 10.30 after taking dogs out for a last wee. Both of us had a really restless night and we finally got up just after 7. I got soaked taking the dogs out for a wee and had to dry dogs off when they came in. Had coffees and fed dogs at 8.15 then took them out for a poo. It was still raining heavily and we all got soaked. The dogs were only interested in playing and running about together so had to be taken out separately so that they’d go. Watched Andrew Marr and the Big Questions but got bored with it and decided to do this post. We had a milky drink with seeds, 3 bananas and 2 pears for breakfast. Left hand is really playing up today when it’s relaxed. Can’t control its twitching. Ang’s sister is due over today to drop her dog off with Ang for 2 weeks while she goes to Spain to visit her mother. Everything is damp in the flat from the dogs getting wet earlier.

Starting Saturday

2007-11-17T09:08:00.000Z

Watched some of children in need last night after Corrie and then got to bed about 10.30. Woke just after 7 and got up about 7.10 when Ang decided to get up because Buster was pestering her. Took dogs out for a wee and fed them at 8.15 after some news and coffee each. After they’d been fed we took them on the back green for a poo and came back and had toast and marmalade for breakfast. Booted computers and did usual of charity clicks, website and email accounts. Afterwards I did this post.

Calcium Oxalate stones

2007-11-15T18:16:00.000Z

Watched TV with Ang til about 10 last night but bored by it. Got to bed about 10.30 and had a restless night. Ang didn’t sleep well either and we got up at 7.20. Got dogs out and had coffees. Fed dogs 8.15 and took them to the backwaters afterwards. Buster got in a scrap with another Springer which I had to break up. Back of my left hand got scratched. Expect that to reflect in the world by early evening. Should be the North UK as it’s my left hand. Got dogs back and had a milky drink for breakfast with seeds, three pears and three bananas. Contacted hospital in an attempt to resolve medication issue. Went to see friend at Westbourne. Contacted hospital again when got back and had taken dogs for a 2nd walk. Ended up making a verbal complaint to the team manager about communication breakdown. Ang’s sister came over about 4.30 and Ang and I cooked a chicken pie, mash, green beans and broccoli. Went for final walk with all 3 dogs and got back about 5.05 on my own as Ang and her sister went to the shop with Shadow. They got back just as Buster had got the audience in stitches. They brought a toffee cake and custard back with them and some mars cakes. Ang’s sister and I had some toffee cake and custard and Ang opened the mars cakes just before her sister left at 5.55. I then finished this post after showing Ang’s sister a webpage on stones in dogs and the diet they need.

Busters lump

2007-11-14T21:01:00.001Z

Had to go to bed about 9 last night and Ang woke me later to get dogs out for their last wee. Woke this morning about 7.20 and took dogs out. Ang got up and made coffees and we watched news for a while. Fed dogs about 8.15 and then took them to the backwaters. Came back and had toast for breakfast. Watched some more news on TV and did usuals on computers. Took dogs for their 2nd walk about 12 and ended up down backwaters again. Came back and I had to crash out again as really tired. Woke about an hour and a half later. Rang Dr and told him how washed out on increased medication I’m getting and he’s intending arranging a meeting soon. Had coffee to try and wake up and at 3.55 took Buster to vets about his lump on his right shoulder. Vet examined it and gave him a course of antibiotics for a week. Vet said it looked like an infection, possibly caused by a tic, that wasn’t clearing up. Walked home with him and told Ang the news. Arranged to visit friend tomorrow and then watched local news and the One show. Ordered a chicken shish kebab and chips for me and a chicken burger for Ang. Afterwards we both watched Corrie and then Autumn watch during which I decided to do a post for today.

Censored

2007-11-13T20:23:00.000Z

I’m disgusted that the BBC have removed a 3rd post I have put up. They are refusing to allow me to say what I believe. Something else in the world that is being denied me. How the hell am I supposed to get heard by the world when no matter what I say, in the way it needs to be said gets stopped. Seems even that road the door is being slammed in my face. Ang phoned and told me she’d be on 4pm train. She finally got home about 4.45. Took dogs out for a wee about 7.30 and fed them at 8 after the One show and Eastenders. Left Ang watching Holby while did this post. Managed to get another piece of Alien done
“I want to finish my poem though. I’ll be about half an hour” I said getting up and going back to the computer. I opened a file a started typing.
And with that the Unicorn died.
Part 8.
I raised the sword high
Wondering why it had to die
What I’d done felt so wrong
I realized, no birdsong
The valley was silent and still
In my stomach I felt ill
I picked up the severed head
Of a creature so dead
I ran to my tethered horse
And set a hurried course
To the sea I must ride
As tears I cried
This deed I had done this day
Felt so wrong in every way
Part 9.
I raced along
With no thought of song
And placed the sack
From my horses back
At the wizards feet
When I arrived at the cave entrance
Said he “It is their defence”
“Bring it inside with great haste”
He then took a saw he had there
Removing the horn without a care
“Come watch real magic loyal friend”
Then taking me to the caves end
There she lay, wounded and dying
I knew not what the wizard was trying
Part 10
He raised the horn above his head
Then words again were said
“Give life as you can”
Then the spell began
The wounds began to stop bleeding
The wizard was pleading
“Please be in time”
I understood my crime
The last stallion had to die
The wizard had no time to say why
She was here to be saved
She was no longer enslaved
The wizard had got her away
From torture that day
Part 11
As the spell took more hold
The cave grew so cold
Then she began to move her head
The wizard screamed “She’s not dead”
She began to rise as her wounds disappeared
He said “It’s not as I feared”
You arrived in time as I prayed you would
We have done all that we could
Now his offspring can carry on his line
And I owe you all that is mine
She wandered over and smelt my blooded sword
Then she said something I barely heard
“You have the protection of us forever”
“We will desert you never”
Part 12
When I realized what the wizard had said
I replied “I just need a bed”
“I’m tired from the ride today”
“Let me sleep my aches away”
“When I have slept we will talk again”
“I need rest from my pain”
I turned to her and bowed low
“I thank you for the gift you bestow”
I reached and stroked her mane
Her pleasure was plain
"Climb onto my back" she said
Then out of the cave we did head
And as we rose into the sky
I never asked her why
That was not my plan
It’s how it all began
After finishing I closed the file and realized Ang wasn’t in the room.

Waiting for the BBC again

2007-11-13T12:11:00.001Z

Woke about 7.20 and got dogs out. Ang made coffees and I fed the dogs at 8.15. Took them to the backwaters but one of my shoelaces broke so we only got as far as the shops. Came back and Ang’s sister came over for breakfast. Afterwards we talked for a bit and then Ang and her sister left about 10.15 to go to Poole. I waited for visitors and they stayed about 10 minutes and then I got the dogs to the backwaters in my cowboy boots. Came back and had spaghetti and fried egg on toast with nearly a pint of orange juice. Felt much better after something to eat. Did charity clicks and emails. Covenant page up to 196 today. Posted on BBC forum what I prepared yesterday and checked other posts. One from yesterday is stuck with moderators at the minute. Don’t understand what I did wrong in that one. Hope it appears or I get an email soon. I’m really not enjoying being censored. Some of the insults that have been let through that wouldn’t have got past me as a censor.

Rhino

2007-11-12T21:28:00.000Z

Crashed early last night again and Ang had to wake me to take dogs out. Woke this morning about 7.10. Got dogs out and had coffee. Dainty had a poo first thing so was greeted with that to pick up as soon as I woke up. Fed them at 8.15 and then took them to the backwaters. Went down via the church and on the 3rd field Gemma came running over to Buster. Came back via shops and Ang had toast and marmalade for breakfast and I had a fried egg sandwich with toasted bread and some milk. Spent morning reading and posting on BBC forums. Had visitor from council arrive. She liked my walls. Got dogs out again about 12.15 and wandered around a bit. Took Dainty to the community garden and Buster sat with us on the 2 benches watching her search. Came back and had breaded cod, chips and peas. Spent afternoon realizing there are so many people that need educating on the forums by some of the posts I’ve read. Had to snatch some pieces out the Quran for my next post but finished it too late to post today. Watched Euronews late afternoon and Ang’s sister came over. Ang cooked her some cheese on toast and she stayed til Corrie came over then went over Ang’s to be with her dog. Ang watched a crime drama and I did this post then joined her.

How predictable

2007-11-11T13:45:00.000Z

Got dogs to the shops after the weather on countryfile as there was a motorbike and football going on at the backwaters. Dogs barked at some lads playing football while I waited for Ang at the shop when they kicked the ball too close. Came home and had fried mash spud, fried egg and bread and butter to eat. Got some chicken out for later. Looked to see if anything worthy of a comment has been posted today on BBC. Might post later. So far just getting the he’s a nutter reaction mainly. Few more hits on Covenant of ARK page lately. A few interesting responses though.

All change

2007-11-11T11:17:00.000Z

Watched most of Andrew Marr and then continued with Alien and managed this:-
airlock to the central playroom and walked in. The oxygen increase was noticeable in the airlock and as the first door closed the second opened. The scent was strong and his nostril flared as he took in the tangle of bodies spread throughout the room. He unstrapped his sandals and pushed himself towards two females with a smile on his face. Music was a backdrop of the room and there were poles stretching floor to ceiling at various points with limbs entwined around them while the owners of them enjoyed each others bodies.
As I finished the email to Sharon Dave rang. “They converted your idea a little as usual. The system they have in place to produce is transistor based not valves. We looked in the back military catalogue and dug up some designs. Boffins have upgraded all the specs and they’re soak testing the first prototype. Production involves loads of units for supplies. Mostly we’re using foreign companies still producing and stores in UK. It’s expensive and we’ll not meet total output targets.” He said. “Email Sharon with the updated proposal as I’ve just sent her my view based on valve systems. I wasn’t sure transistors would be ok. That’s great they are as they’re more durable and reliable. Get her on board for me Dave. Have you got a clue when they come back yet?” I replied.
“Nothing. Communication has ceased from them since they went back into orbit at just after 7. We’ve tried everything. They won’t respond. We heard 2 words transmitted as they left. Departing and base after hours of silence. People my end are nervous. The last thing Thor A’gin said was “It is done. All will now unfold for you.” There’s been nothing since but those 2 words. I’m getting jittery as well. Especially now they’re gone.” He said slowly. I noticed a reply from Sharon arrive and then spoke “We’ll make it if we’ve time to get communications up and running. It’ll be worse than Mad Max but humans are resilient. I guess won’t eat us. They’ll be the dominant life-form though. We’ve got to stop them raping Earth. Catch ya soon.”. With that he gulped and hung up.
I put the phone down and touched the screen to open the email from Sharon.
It read
I don’t understand why you need my help again. If you’re wrong I lose another care home. Get Dave to email me as it sounds a bit crazy. I give it a bit more credence since they left though.
Sharon.
Hopefully she’ll be on board when Dave emails her. I didn’t bother to reply and closed down the screen. I got up from the chair and sat down on a cushion on the floor next to Dainty. She was fast asleep and Angela was watching the news. I skinned up and Angela said “People are speculating that we’ve got permission to go out now so we should build the ships to do it.” “Let’s hope they’re right” I replied. The weather came on and we watched. Today would be warm and mainly dry all over the UK. “Good chance to go exploring and see what places we could find to take the dogs.” I said to Angela.
Afterwards put this post together while waiting for Countryfile to start. Ang is playing a game on her computer.

Another day just watching

2007-11-11T09:34:00.001Z

Yesterday we had to get Ang’s prescription so went via Holes Bay Cycleway and the back of Cobbs Quay. Came back that way as well. Watched Kylie and Casualty on the evening and fed the dogs just after 8. Took them out for a wee about 8.30 and finished evening off watching Parkinson. Woke this morning just after 7 and took dogs out for a wee. Had coffee and watched news til 8.15 then fed dogs. Took them to the backwaters just after 8.30 via the church and came back via the shops. Came back and booted computers to do this post while waiting for Andrew Marr, The Big Questions and Countryfile. Made milky drink for breakfast and finished this post.

Prolly write

2007-11-10T17:12:00.000Z

Crashed early last night. Ang woke me late to take dogs out for their last wee. Woke this morning just after 7. Got dogs out and had coffee. Fed them just after 8 then took them for a poo on back green. Had to put Buster back on the lead when a Labrador he hates turned up. Came back in and had toast and marmalade for breakfast. Ang had Dairylea. Got dogs to the backwaters about 9.30 and went to Wareham with Dainty at 10.50. Came back and had chicken pie, mash and broccoli that Ang cooked. Watched bit of news and did another post on BBC forum. Getting tangled up with everybody criticising spelling and grammar instead of the content. Might abandon them soon if it goes on much longer. Taking up too much of my time reading some really stupid statements. C’est la vie.

Apologies

2007-11-09T14:11:00.000Z

Got two emails from BBC about posts. They considered them off topic. So glad I got information back. Spoke to my sister on messenger. Cooked Ang fish in butter sauce with jacket potato and spinach. Had special k myself as ate loadsa chocolate last night Ang got when she went into Poole. Got Music channel on while doing this post. Got dogs out about 1 to the backwaters so free time for a while.
