Me & the Corona virus in Salisbury

  I've finally managed to get some time to sit down and write my journal.  Lets start off with the basics, quite a few things have happened since my last entry; I will try and remember it all. SP2 Hope café have closed for a while because Kim has left to concentrate on fostering, she was a brilliant manager and I'm going to miss her.  The last manager was called Lottie but I couldn't warm up to her like I did Kim, I don't think Lottie really understood my autism that much; apparently she now lives in Africa. So I am going to try St Michaels community café, only problem is my buss pass has been stopped so I have to have £2 at the ready to get anywhere.  I'm hoping to get it sorted out with Fiona my support worker, Wiltshire Council are making it hard for disabled people to get anywhere. On the news a woman called Nichola Bully vanished in Lancashire while walking her dog, police said she had fallen into the river after leaving her mobile on a bench.  I ...

  My back isn't 100 percent, especially in the mornings when I get out of bed where I have to move slowly.  I went to the community café at the Baptist church today, I like to go here as it's a chance for me to be with people.  Here you can get free drinks and slices of cakes, I'm in for a fright when I see my dietitian!  I took my hat making thing, god knows what I'm going to do with it when I've finished, I thought a tea cozy would come to mind or maybe a cup cover. I went to a quiz at the Boat House, we didn't win although i did enjoy the history  questions the most.

  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...

I 've had so little time to write so I've got a lot of catching up to do, being a carer for my parents I haven't had a lot of time to record what is going on in the world.  I must try and make the effort and try to blog everyday, I can't do it up my parents as they don't have the internet; they don't even have a landlime. I've just returned from a tea party for carers which was held at Harmham parish hall, I had lunch in Marks and Spencers cafe. I was worried about my birthday but it was ok.  I went to SP2 where they kindly gave me a cake and sang me happy birthday, I was really embarrassed.  I went to the Guild Hall as I had tickets for a event called The Voice which was happening there, it was light opera and they also sang me and another lady happy birthday; I wanted the ground to swallow me up! The singers were fantastic and I loved the ladies dresses, they did some musicals from Westside Story and my fair lady. I caught a nasty virus from another woman ...

It's my birthday on 27th October, but no one is interested. Big 50 but no one gives a damn, be quiet as usual nothing like what Penny had on Saturday. Liz Truss has resigned as PM, and Ritchy Sunack is the new PM. Only time will tell what he'll be like. I bought a birthday cake for the community cafe from M&S, the cafe at the Baptist church & SP2 is my safe place. Hung washing out, was damp when I brought it back in. The cafe at the Arts Centre is closing, his stupid is that? Their blaming it on Covid and the energy crisis, we have Dig in there tomorrow so we'll go elsewhere in future. My hair needs cutting, I get round to it eventually.

I'm depressed, Thursday is my birthday and as per usual, it's going to be quiet like an ordinary day. I did think of visiting Weymouth, but according to my weather app, it's going to be thundery so that's put a stop to that. I reacted to the covid jab last Thursday, I knew I would. I was going to have a lazy Friday, but mum rang up saying dad was sick. I got dressed and went up there.  Called 111 and we waited for 2 hrs for the Dr to ring back.  Mum wasn't strong enough to sit him up in bed properly. Dad got admitted to hospital in the Redlynch ward, At least the phone signal works there. The hospital was full, so dad was lucky to get a bed. Even as my & mum were at the bus stop, we could see ambulances parked up outside A&E waiting to get in. A lot of people are reacting to the Covid jab, as they have included the Omicron virus. I updated dads tablet and showed him how to get to his games, he forgot five minutes later. It's not looking good for Lizz Tru...

I went to a tea party at the Quaker house along Wilton Road. Been raining on and off, very mild today. Went to the Rethink group in the Arts Centre, nice to chat with people when you are down. I watched Desperaldo on the Great Movies channel, it's got Antoni Bandarus in and he's HOT! 😍 Got me thinking through, that I'm heading towards being left on the shelf. I do get lonely, but then again I'm worried about having my heart broken again. If it hadn't been for Brian my X, I'd have still been a virgin. I hated my virginity it made me feel like I wasn't normal, like a freak. I've tried explaining to mum, but she doesn't take me seriously, and aunt Joan stares at me like I'm some sort of slapper. Most people my age are married off, but I don't do marriage as I hate commitment. Young ladies in the Roaring twenties liked Rudolph Valentino, I've only seen a few pictures of him.
