Dismay for two reasons &#8211; firstly it means that I didn&#8217;t sleep all that well and secondly that nothing &#8211; or no-one of any interest &#8211; occurred and as I have said before &#8230; <em>&#8220;and on many occasions too&#8221; &#8211; ed<\/em> &#8230; what usually happens during the night is much more exciting than whatever happens to me during the day.<\/p>\n<p>After I&#8217;d organised myself I had to sort out all of the medication that I&#8217;d bought yesterday. That&#8217;s not as easy as it might be because, as I said yesterday, some of the trade names are different and it involves some detective work in order to figure out which is which.<\/p>\n<p>Following that, I set off down the hill into town and I bowled along rather somewhat, at least, considering how I&#8217;ve been in the recent past, and it was quite a pleasant walk despite the crutches.<\/p>\n<p>At the chemist&#8217;s I picked up the medication that they had had to order for me and then I went down the road to the Post Office. I&#8217;m running out of prepaid envelopes so I needed another supply. I don&#8217;t use them all that often but when I do, I never seem to be able to find any.<\/p>\n<p>The walk back was somewhat breathtaking, and for obvious reasons too. I&#8217;m still having breathing issues but for the last few months I&#8217;ve never been in a position to notice, not being able to move around as I did before. So the fact that today I was feeling out of breath is a small improvement all on its own<\/p>\n<p>Back here I had breakfast &#8211; some coffee with another one of my delicious fruit buns. I&#8217;d been out all told for 75 minutes which is rather disappointing because in the old days I could be in town and back in 20 minutes. But the fact that I actually made it out and back again is something of an achievement.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the day has been spent writing up the notes for the music that I chose yesterday, and then choosing some more music for a subsequent radio programme. And when that particular programme will be broadcast it will contain a song that I know for definite has never been broadcast anywhere else on any other radio programme.<\/p>\n<p>Liz was on line later on so we had a lengthy chat. She showed me a video of the snowfall in her back garden and it looked quite impressive.<\/p>\n<p>For tea tonight I had a meal that I haven&#8217;t made for an absolute age &#8211; steamed vegetables and a large vegan sausage all smothered in a beautiful vegan cheese sauce. It really was nice.<\/p>\n<p>But now I&#8217;ve run out of frozen cauliflower so I&#8217;ll have to buy another batch, unless I can find some fresh cauliflower to blanch and freeze.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing is certain &#8211; and that is that when I do finally move house, I&#8217;m going to buy a bigger fridge with a freezer so that I&#8217;ll have much more room to store stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow the physiotherapist will be coming round but that&#8217;s all that I have planned. They are talking about a storm and hurricane tomorrow but if it doesn&#8217;t arrive I might go out for a walk.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I&#8217;m feeling a little more human I need to push on. It looks as if walking around is making me feel a little better so I need to keep it up.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-16754 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='16754' data-nonce='eff2189b0a' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-16754 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-16754 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='16754' data-nonce='eff2189b0a' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-16754 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-16754 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; into town today seemed to go even better and I felt much more like my old self.
