 I'm getting over another sprained back yet again.  I did Parkrun on Saturday in Churchill gardens and I admit that i was a bit tired, I was fine on the Sunday and Monday morning; until I sat in the chair at Sarum community centre.  They keep using those cheap nasty chairs they have in schools, I honestly think they should be done away with.  I bent over and my back seized up, I could hardly walk to the bus stop.  I waited for the bus to go back into town as I had to go up the hospital to pick up some more pills, a lady drove past and asked if I wanted a lift.  I literally crawled into her car and got out at Endless street, thank goodness it wasn't raining.

I'm now on a drug called Naproxan which has to be taken with food, it does work but after a while.  I'm using my walking poles to get around my flat, one night I was so stiff in bed it was agony.  I saw my pysio in Wilton yesterday, Wilton was dead as a doornail yesterday.  There are some grand houses in Wilton as some of the x residents used to be associated with Wilton House, this is Lord Hurberts pad and they are related to the late queen.

Wednesday was national strike day all over the UK.  Salisbury rail station had people walk out, they put two orange banners by the railway club.  Also teachers across the UK went on strike, there are strikes everywhere now.

The news is worrying as the government says we could go into a recession, I thought we were already in one.

I watched the black and white version of Anna Frank, Audry Hepburn played Anne.  It was very good and she's one of my influences of why I keep a journal, its very important to document everything.

Lets hope my stupid back gets better.
