Oh how I miss the seaside I could cry, I havent seen the sea all year.  I drempt i was back with my parents in Teignmouth in Devon, but those days are long gone now.    Life was different then with lots of boats trips people could go on, it was wondeful.  My parents said it was just £6 for a weeks holiday, imagin if I could get two weeks for £12!  But then wage's were lower then.  Apparently the shops stayed open until almost midnight, dad said they closed at 2am which isn't surprising then.  For some wierd reason I've remembered drinking juice while over on Shaldon at the Clipper cafe, strange what things come to mind. The sunken garden used to be along the seafront before it was filled in by the council, I remember walking through this to the other side towards the pier. I miss it all but then one does remeniss about their childhood.  I've only got to catch the scent of an odour when I visit, and it brings it all back again.  There was a wi...

  Bloody back is still aching, I must have over did it on Saturday.  I was taking rubbish out and it twanged, I can't keep on like this.  The stupid stairs in my flat are making it tough to hoist things up and down all the time, I have a quit to do but it will be painful taking it up and own the stairs.  I use my trolley as a support, I now have a stool in the bath and a perching chair.  I could do with a ground floor flat, I should have had the one that's empty underneath me, but I have to bid on it and I wouldn't get anywhere anyway. I got some milk and some bread then went round the new Inn pub, they have a lovely walled garden; shame about the wasps.  You can see the spire from there and hear the clock chiming the hours, lots of white coloured butterfly's fluutering about.  I must shave my legs if I can, don't like hairy legs.  I like sitting outside in the garden althrough the seat got a bit hard after a while, take a cushion next time. Storm...

On Saturday my back decided to play up, hung my quit cover out on the line because the MET office said it would be fine, what a joke!  My pegs snapped making me late to come up to parents, and it bloody rained just as I was coming along Churchfields; I noticed the ominouse gray cloud creeping up from the direction of Wilton.  I hung my sweater out on the frame to dry when the sun eventually decided to come out. I met the Steam hengers yesterday at Sarum castle yesterday, it's a windy place up there so I'm glad I didn't wear my shorts.  Autumn always starts early in August in the UK, I hate winter.  I went round Katherines house, she is so kind.  They have an Edwardian house, what history that must have seen.  We parked on the large car park by the gates, it did start to rain but went off and drifted over towards Amesbury, I could see the cloud hanging down in a sheet.  Some of the other hengers were there, I didn't dress up like them but I will at Chri...

  Abaluely peeing it down today, I went to weatherspoons and tried the app which refused to work; easier paying my card and forget the faff.  I had a wierd dream last night about Bruce Forseyth being in a horror film, why? I filled in a track and trace form at Weatherspoons because my shit phone wouldn't scane the code, my contract ends in October so I'll be glad to get rid of the Huawei 20-lite!  It's Chinise junk anyway. Corvid cases are going up across the north of the UK, says Rugby has stayed at the same with 10.1 cases.  It's said the virus is spread more by someone in their 20-30's then an older person, I hope we have a normal Christmas.  looks like the UK is going to get an early autumn after the heat we've had which is a shame, August is always unpredictable with freezing weather when it should be warm.  A lot of people will be doing stay cations in the UK this year, but the weather may possibly be crap! The rain can be very persistant in the UK, w...

 Today I odered a stool for the bath, because everytime I use the shower and I bend down to remove the hairs from the plug, my blasted back goe's and i'm in pain for the rest of the day.  I'm turning into an old fogey with a disability, I already have a frame round the toilet; not just the old that gets bits falling off you know. It was a bit of a sod to find the areain the first place, churchfields estate is like a maze with a warren of streets, it's hard to believe it was once farmland, I've only ever seen one photo of it as fields; it shows a man with a shire horse plaughing a field.  The area must have looked different then, without the lorrie's and cars thundering past like they do now a days.   Anyway it feels good to be out cycling again, I couldn't ride up parents yesterday because the weather was a bit stormy, I hate being rained up ( unless it's a hot day )  I'm like a crashing butterfly . Watched Dr Bramwell which was very good, she was th...

I might have to go to Newquay on my own next year, parents are not sure wot they are doing, & mum has too look after dad. So when I visit Padstow, there be no one to talk too or share my adventures with, I'll be so lonley.  I don't want to go with Alan because he's grumpy and causes unnecessary arguments over nothing in particular. He seems to get a kick out of upsetting people, I go away to get away from the problem not take it on holiday with me. Penny, I feel more like her carer then her friend, and she has challenging behaviour I could do without. My anxiety levels are at an all time high, without it being made worse by bad moods because I won't do want they want. Being autistic makes it that harder for me, a lot of people think I'm wierd, but I'm better off traveling alone. I'm hoping to do a coach trip to Tenby in 2021 but I don't want Alan coming along as he'll ruin my experience with his controlling attitude. This is my adventure, and no ...

 Watereds plants at 8pm last night, suppossed to get a thunderstorm at 5pm but the weather remained the same.  The fridges in Tesco broke down on Tuesday due to the heat, trust stuff to start conking out; my fly killer died yesterday.  I got up at 6am Monday only to find that the light had gone out, it was working perfectally fine on Sunday!  Been drinking like a fish all day, it's cooler in the supermarkets, council houses should have AC, we are having hotter summers.   There has been an outbreak of Corna virus at a banana plant ( Fyeffes ) in Coventry, 10 members of staff tested posive which is too close to where aunt Joan lives.  There seems to be outbreakes of the Chinise virus everywhere. I was hot and worried last night, I hate thunderstorms at night.  usually heralded by the window flashing or an unexpected loud boom, and I hate loud noises.  Apparently the thunder was very bad in Manchester that their windows shook, I'd shake hearing ...

 What a gloriouse weekend it's been, only sad thing is I can't go to the seasdide as all the beaches are rammed.  One lady said she had to abandon her day out as it became too busy and she felt people were on top of her.  Now it's been on the news that new cases are rising!  I don't want to go into a lockdown again, March was bad enough. The papers have called this weekend 'scorchio', expect violent thunderstorms on Monday.  I don't want to go into another lockdown and the government are threatening it for next month, all because of Covidiots who want to party at the bars and have a jolly on the beach.  The roads were rammed due to a crash on the A30 caused by someone in a hurry to get down to the seafront, all carparks full by midday anyway.  There's also reports of people coming as early as 5am! I sat in Elizabeth gardens Friday under the willow tree, it became cloudy and started spitting.  The park was very busy, my highlight was being with Ser...

Aberdeen has gone into lockdown after  54 new cases emerged in a cornavirus cluster, how terrifying for them all!   A five-mile travel rule has been put in place and residents are being told not to enter each other's houses.   All indoor and outdoor hospitality has also been told to close by 5pm on Wednesday.  This follows Manchester and Liverpool which has gone into lockdown, some people are stupid because they are ignoring the social distancing laws!  I got angry with a man in Tesco yesterday as he kept coming too close when I was waiting to pay, luckly he buggered off before i could verbally shout at him ( and I would of done !) More than 4million people in Greater Manchester, Lancashire and West Yorkshire are banned from meeting in each others' houses. Liz texed me the other day saying she hates wearing the mask, so do i but it has to be done.  I'm surorised as she doesn't message me very often.  Alan never message's me at all not that I ...

Finally had my haircut on Saturday, sat next to a fan while waiting. Lovely sunny day, I got my bike returned so cycled up parents. We watched the railway children which is a classic, there's a newer version but the old one is better.  Set in 1909 ( the year my gran was born ) it's about a family who leave London for Yorkshire after their father is wrongly accused of a crime he didn't do. I won't say too much incase you want to read the book or see the film, but at the end they all say goodbye; & this is where I had my dream. Except the people saying goodbye to me were reletives who had died. Like gran, grandad, aunt Marie, aunt Francis, uncle Mike, aunt Kitt, Jinky our dog; and I saw my childhood friend who's died of cancer. I finally got some masks off the tree at the arts centre, there another craft show @ the Greencroft this weekend, but it's too short notice to take part; I'll do September. Manchester are going into lockdown, more outbreaks in Melbo...
