Had breakfast in Costa today, the Salisbury City band were in the George Mall. Nice to see the sun again, Monday was awful. Never stopped raining. Threw it down from 5am constant. Was in the cathedral cafĂ© after walking for health, we went round part of Churchill gardens. The rain literally flowed in waterfalls across the glass roof of the cathedral rectory.  Actor Maggy Smith died today. She was in Downton Abbey, and lady in the van. My neighbor Rita Right collapsed at the bus stop by the Odeon, ambulance came. I didn't recognize her at first. She looked a bit blue round the lips, hope she's OK? An ambulance was called and they carted her off. I Took photos at the Bemerton bash organized by Rise 61. They have done an amazing thing with the community garden.  An Australian guy was serving up ice creams, also have throwing and kiddie's archery.

I think it's important to write this before I forget. My aunt went into hospital at Salisbury, she kept passing out at mums. So she was admitted.  I remember following her out to the ambulance in the garages, I got panicked because they'd vanished.  Karl said the paramedics were not happy with me, because I'd rung the switchboard. What do they expect? I'm autistic, I didn't know where they were. Turned out she was anemic,  which must have been coming on when she drive from Rugby-Salisbury. Needed Iron pumped into her via a drip.  It was very hot on the wards due to the heatwave, then they moved her to a single ward where she was eventually discharged.  I met Alan of the train on platform 2, he shared a room with Karl who complained of his snoring.   Alan came to the hospital and picked up aunt Joan, Karl said he was missing his Netflix.  I said goodbye to them on the green and I sat on the bench feeling lonely whilst waiting for mum to come up to ...

I had my sale today, been packing the trolley since October, now all I have to do is write a list and get it up to the pop up shop at Stars Appeal at the hospital  on Wednesday.  As usual the table I wanted by the door had gone to another seller. He wasn't there the one who got the table, but he turned it on his side to indicate that he had gotten the area.   My PC came back from the menders, it was £190 for a SSD drive, I got annoyed with Annamaria for rushing me with the PC! She dragged along to a meditation class at the Quaker House in Wilton Road which was a load of rubbish and not really my scene! Bitterly cold last night it was a bitter -2!  I hate cold! There was no of that awful singing I endured at the Guild Hall, although we removed our shoes and put our feet on a pillow.  It would have been nice if the lights had been turned off, weirdly people stood behind us waving their arms and hands.  Glad when it was finished to be honest.

Dad's ashes arrived this afternoon from Pure cremation. It's quite strange seeing someone I know in a box, it's got trees all over it. We asked for Lilac, not that colour. Elizabeth was in a coloured box, Dave's shoved her in the loft, how disrespectful is that! I still can't get used to the fact dad is gone, it's mum I worry about. Annamaria a friend I know is getting jealous that I spend more time with mum then her. She should mind her own business, and get on with her own family. Taylor Swift the singer has a huge following called 'swifties'. They wear glitter etc. Watched an Abba tribute band tonight at the Playhouse,  they were very good. Dad liked Abba, especially  Anetha. Lee the film about female photographer has really inspired me. First woman to enter the hell of Dachau, the smell must have been horrendous. More women should take up the camera.  I myself is very ambitious but sometimes I feel I'll never be taken seriously, I haven't got...
