Me & the Corona virus in Salisbury

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 café 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...

Sanctuary have got people in doing out back windows, they were supposed to do mine in the morning but its 12.45 and I'm still waiting as they are doing a neighbor's across the yard.  I was up until 12am clearing the clutter, I could of had a lie in!  Its going to be wood out front and PVC out back, they say Ivy Street is in a conservation area but the houses over the road have got frontal PVC. Had the budget yesterday which I didn't watch.  Apparently disabled people are being asked to look for work or have their benefits stopped, this is unfair as employees don't like hiring disabled people. I'm getting a new SSD hard drive for my PC as its getting slower and slower, wouldn't shut down the other day and I'm fed up of it.  Should be a pleasure using my PC but it isn't because I keep getting 'not responding ' too much, also the tower rattles away to itself and the top USB doesn't work. I photographed the star trail which they have in Salisbury...

I have joined another photographic course with Well City, this time with Ash Mills; the last one was at the hospital with Simon Ward.  I'm very serious about photography, even through my dopey cousin hates it. Bournemouth pavilion    I went to Bournemouth with a friend of mine called Annmarie to see a tribute band called Radio Gaga, and they were brilliant.  I've known her since I was a kid, but she's a lot older then I am, her dog barks at literally everything.  Bournemouth pavilion hallway is so long you could ride a bike down it, there's still debate about the City Hall in Salisbury.  A lot of people danced in the aisles in the end, it was a fantastic night. Israel and Gaza are now at war which is bad as they are doing terrible things to each other, as if we haven't got enough with Russia and the Ukraine.  Why can't people live peacefully?   I had my flu jab Saturday, been advised not to have the Covid jab as it makes people ill, I'm worri...

I've come back to Teignmouth for a week and a weekend, I'm very worried about my PIP as the DWP are stopping or reducing lots of people's so this could be the last time I visit here for a while which will devastate me.   If I'm taken off PIP I'm worried I could be put on Universal Credit from ESA and expected to find work, what work?  There's nothing out there except cleaning and shit no one else wants to do.  I couldn't work anyway because of my anxiety and back condition, the assessor at Fountain way made me feel like a scrounger trying to avoid work; what does she know? The weather has been very varied, I think we got all the seasons in one day I think.  The Gulf stream has been stuck for month's so that summer has stayed in Europe and it's been like a  constant mild rainy Autumn here.  Also Greece and many other European countries have had wildfires due to climate change, supposed to get warmer here during the week, ony time will tell. I ...
