 I've been off air for a while because some things have happened.  Dad fell out of bed again so I had to wait with mum while they took him off to hospital, he was brought back via a taxi in a wheelchair because all the patient transport was unavailiable.  Poor taxi man was quite worn out poor man, so i took dad back to our house,  The stupid paving slabs which stick up didn't help by jolting him, I often trip over them myself. I came to teignmouth yesterday, I love coming down here. I'm only down from Friday to monday but I'm planning to come down longer in June.  I had to change at Exeter Central this time instead of St Davids, have brought umbrella as it's said it's going to be wet. I'm in room four this time, it's quite nice with a ships window as a mirror, the TV signal isn't great but never mind.  My window overlooks a place I stayed called Redsands which is just over the road, a lovely lady called Mrs Bullock used to run that.  She used to have...

 On Friday I had an appointment with Parker and Bullen solicitors at 2.00. I've often passed this regency building but never been inside. I'm serious about writing a will, even though people think I'm playing a game. I'm not. I spoke to two very nice ladies, and they were very clear about how much this would cost. It's roughly roundabout the £300 Mark, and £200 after my death if I appoint two of them to become my executors. I might ask Craig and Kim first, but if they refuse then I'll have to have two solicitors to be my witnesses. I wouldn't ask my cousin's, because they would try and block it anyway. I've thought long and hard about what I want to do, I'm determined that Karl is going to get the money that I've saved for him. There is also a load of other things concerning myself, which I would like to happen. Aunt Joan come down today, o was late as usual. Had to send photos to Brian, as per usual he found a problem with one. So I had to s...

I went to Castle point yesterday, I meant to go on Saturday, but dad fell out of bed yet again so mum called the emergency services and I had to abandon it to help mum.  dad came back in a wheelchair via taxi ( all the seven's ). We couldn't get patient transport because it was booked up solid all day, the hospital said dad might have to stay the night if he couldn't get home.   I pushed him in the wheelchair along with the close. The poor taxi driver was exhausted from pushing the chair and said the hill was a nightmare. He almost lost the grip on the handlebars which would have been awful, I didn't tell dad that.  bloody paving stones kept making the chair jerk, they've even tripped me up when running for the bus! I went to Devises for a meeting today, I hate crawling out of bed in the early mornings,  heard glass in the distance being emptied into the bins.  It was a double-decker on the way there, a bit of a nightmare going through the vi...

Driving us mad?

  The government are going to bring the army in to help with the petrol crisis, once again Boris Johnson knew this was coming but dithered around as per usual.  It's rumored that prices are going to go up in the shops, I know the price has gone up on a bag of sugar I bought.   Terrible weather Saturday, I was going to the repair café in Churchfields but the weather put me off.  Watched 2 movies at parents, a bridge too far and The battle of Britain.  Both great classic movies, I think they could do with a touch of CGI.

Most of the petrol stations in the UK have either ran out of fuel and waiting for delivery, or running low. People are still panic buying, special visas have been given to foreign HGV drivers. Hopefully, emergency services etc. have their supply, I hope it doesn't affect the buses. I cycled to Macklin road to pick up a digital photo frame, and which I hope to use in a trade show called Art in the arches at the arts center.  I was worried because of my autism, that the lady might think I was a right weirdo. She put a name to me feeling awkward and said it was 'imposter syndrome. She's right, I do feel like a fraud among all these professionals. I received some useful tips, including how I should have Lightroom. I'd love Lightroom but it's £10 per month, but it would help me greatly. Also, I should upgrade my Photoshop Elements, I'm checking all this out. I've borrowed her RPS booklet which I must return to her, make bedtime reading.

Panic everywhere all over the UK this week. it seems, all because the gas prices are going up, and the CO2 emissions being caused by gas barbeques. I was talking to Erin on Wednesday in the SP2 café. Apparently, because of certain situations, I don't understand, it could threaten all of us having turkeys at Christmas this year. I bet the turkeys are relieved.  All our gas bills are going up, and people are getting into a panic about putting petrol or fuel into their cars. The government say they have plenty of fuel and have told the public not to panic buy, but this all falls on deaf ears and they will get into panic anyway. It's being blamed on Covid and Brexit. A marathon is coming through Salisbury in October, Fisherton street will be closed for an hour.  Everything is being blamed on Covid.

  Depressing grey day today, plus also I had to go home back to Spilsbury. Managed to get things packed the evening before, sorted out leaflets to keep and throw out. I've had some adventures these two weeks, like the cockatiel who keeps saying 'Allo Allo what's going on here then?'. He learnt that from a machine in the arcade's, now he repeats it. Every morning I'd watch the parents walk past Jackie's while taking their kids to the school. Coaches were come and park in the space by the station, probably after kicking everyone off at the hotel's.  I know people find me weird and annoying because of my autism, but hey ho. Shit happens. My last breakfast (I sound like the condemned) was a banana as they'd run out of fruit and fiber. Jackie is a great host and Donna is nice too, but I'll be back in May.  I left a few bits in the room fridge, it hums occasionally during the night. I think the rooms are haunted, sometimes the curtains move even though...
