Hello Monday again so that means it is facts day again, so here we go:

The nearest neighbour galaxy to our own Milky Way is called “Andromeda”

The oldest pantomime stories are Aladdin and Cinderella, both tales date back well over a thousand years.

Aladdin originated from Syria and Cinderella from China

Cinderella’s slippers were originally made of fur, they became glass ones due to a dodgy translation some time in history

A cow can give about 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.

Saturday has arrived after an average nights sleep, woke at 4 to pee then had to have a small drink which meant removing mt Cpap mask, only to not be able to get it back on, had to wake Tim to do it.

After I opened the house I was shaking so much I sent Tasha a text asking for help. I really try not to ask her for help on Saturday but felt if I asked Tim he would be snappy.

Kathy came and showered me and did the ironing.

Tim went and ordered the new speedo for his bike, cost him around $650. He also bought a new rear guard for the bike.

Mum was sounding like herself told me about seeing Tasha 4 times.

I woke at 4,40am again needing to pee, thankfully I didn’t need a drink so no need to remove mask.

Out of bed at 6.15 opened house and Tash arrived.

Tim is off today.

Feeling like shit I am shaking a lot and doing anything is so bloody hard.

Kelli, Jono & kids are at Jess’s working on her back yard, along with Jess.

Tasha was pissed that no one helped her do her yard, she paid someone only $20 to do her yard and he did a half ass job, said it would cost more to do more this I get.

I woke at 6 thought I will get up in a moment then it was 6.30 and I am getting up.

Open the house and sent Tasha a text, before starting my breaky I was finished toasting the banana break by the time she arrived. She had fallen asleep.

My left leg is hurting top to bottom. Or bum to foot.

Had a very bad night, got up at 2.30 to pee and wet myself due to the amount of pain I was in with my left leg. I ended up sitting on the loo crying in pain and frustration. Tim ended up coming t o find me, I returned to bed but sat on the side unable to lift my legs again Tim came and lifted my legs into bed.

This morning I am still in pain and called Tasha to come and shower me.

At 1.30pm I went to the loo and because I was sweating so much it was very difficult and this had me crying. Blain found me crying the hallway and went and fetched his mum and Jess & Leo. All came and checked I was ok.

Had to tell Mum twice about it as she forgot and asked me twice how I was today.

Had a better night, Jess came and messaged my leg as I went to bed.

So I slept ok.

A much cooler day thankfully.

Tim home for a few hours split shift.

Had a lay down but didn’t sleep just laid there.

My leg pain has been a lot less today.

Had a reasonable nights sleep as the pain returned during the night.

I got up when Tim left for work with his help. I managed to make my own breakfast, before Tasha arrived.

The pain has returned to my leg I applied my deep heat this morning.

Jess is going to message it again before I go to bed.

I had a horrible night due to the pain in my leg every time I tried to move it. Had to get help from Tim during the night as I fell partly out of bed trying to get up out of bed.

Leo spent last night here and woke at 10ish.

Been in pain all day, using the walker makes it easier to walk.

Managed to do a load of washing and hung half of it on clothes hoist before needing to ask for Tasha’s help.

THERER ARE TIMES WHEN THE PAIN IS SO BAD AND I AM SHAKING  TO MUCH I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP.  THEN I LOOK AROUND MY WALLS AND REMEMBER WHY I AM HANGING IN THERE………………………………………

That Someone Special

© Richard N. Cook More By Richard N. Cook

Published: June 2007

She is the apple of my eye,
The reason that I live.
She is all that I could wish for.
My heart to her I give.

It is for that someone special
These words that I do pen,
To thank her for always being
My wife and my best friend.

She has the will to live until
The last breath she does take.
There is the love within her heart,
Such good memories to make.

She is the sunshine in my morning,
The star that’s in my sky,
And if I should ever lose her,
Then I would surely die.

She stands always at my side,
No matter what comes our way.
She comforts me with steadfast love
Each and every day.

She carries many burdens,
And her heart is sometimes broken
By all the thanks she never gets
And all the words unspoken.

I know her life is not her own.
I always seem so needy,
And asking her to do one more thing,
I feel so really greedy.

How can I ever thank her
For all she has done for me?
I can only give her all my heart
And love her to eternity.

I hope that when the end comes,
And she meets God face to face,
He will tell her that in Heaven
She has a special place.

Hello Monday again so that means it is facts day again, so here we go:

More than 75% of all the countries in the world are north of the equator.

Oak trees do not have acorns till they reach 50 years of age.

The average iceberg weighs 20 million tons

The English Channel gets a foot wider every year.

The Eisenhower interstate road system in America requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight bits are for use as airstrps in times of war or other emergencies.

I woke and got up at 6am but just after I opened the house as I was getting my walker out I stepped backwards and fell over. I called Tim and he came straight away but I also called Tasha who had just stepped out of the shower, however, she got her dressing gown on and came straight away.

However, I managed to get up with Tim’s help.

I have a sore tailbone and knees my right is also sore. Kathy messaged ice gel into my knees and arm.

It is painful to sit.

Tim has installed the new dishwasher without any problem.

Mum was rambling a bit about Sandra not sure if there was something she was going to tell me but forgot and just rambled about her wedding.

Slept in to 6.40, I am still in pain with my tailbone but not quiet as bad as yesterday.

Tim back at work today

Kelli and Daemon at Jess’s place so Kelli could help Jess clean her backyard. Daemon is now staying the night.

Will use the dishwasher for the first time tonight.’

A later start to the day being 7am when I got up, Tasha walked in a couple of minutes after I opened the house.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the dishwasher was the dishes were still dirty.

Before I could look into why Tasha said it was shower time.

After showering & dressing I found the book to the dishwasher to find out what I did wrong, answer nothing. Tim forgot to turn the water on.

After that it worked just fine, how it’s suppose to.

Been a warm and sticky day.

Up at 6 and opened the house and went to get breaky stuff ready only ti notice my choc milk was missing. Tasha had it.

Still in pain, Tasha said I have a big bruise on my bum.

Feeling very tired this afternoon

couldn’t concentrate when talking to mum, she was also very tired. So only talked for 25 minutes.

Tim home early but he started early as well.

He had a complaint about failing to stop for a woman, he told me the woman was on her phone and didn’t signal.

Awake and up by 6.15 and opened the house got breaky stuff out and had my morning wash before I sent Tash a text telling her I was up.

Mum rang and asked if I could give Sandy my card to her account as her card wasn’t working and she was getting a new card sent out.

When Sandy came to get the card she also took birthday presents for Temika and Liarna and the bottom rack from my old dishwasher.

Oh and the problem with the card was mum has either lost or cut up her card because she thought it had expired, it hadn’t.

Tim has a split shift home for 3ts.

Been a hot day thankfully Tasha turned the air con on early.

Had a good nights sleep woke at 6 and got up opened the house and was having a wash when I got a text from Tash saying she will be here in 5 mins and she was.

Going to be a hot day.

Tim home early as he had an appointment to have his eyes checked and also to see his GP to have his medical to keep his job.

A new day up at 6.10, opened house and Tasha arrived. Leo spent last night here.

Air con on early, going to be hurt.

Tim has a split shift today so home for 3hrs.

Mum was sounding much more like herself

It’s 3pm and I have bugga all concentration so Jess came and helped me get ready for bed so I could just chill listening to my book. A little early but that’s ok.

Wind On The Hill

By A. A. Milne More A. A. Milne

No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.

It’s flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn’t keep up with it,
Not if I ran.

But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.

And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.

So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

Hello Monday again so that means it is facts day again, so here we go:

It can be so hot in the Sahara Desert that rain can evaporate before it reaches the ground.

King Charles 11 first tried dog racing in 1670 at Hampton Court Palace.

It wasn’t till 250 years later that racing greyhounds took off as a sport, largely due to the invention of the mechanical hare. Early hares were mounted on roller skates and pulled along with string.

Li is the family name for more than 90 million people in China

Mongolia is the world;s largest landlocked country.

OK STARTING THIS WEEK MY WEEK THAT WAS POST WILL BE ON A SATURDAY AS I DON’T POST ON FRIDAYS I PREFER TO ONLY HAVE ONE DAY BREAK BETWEN POSTS OVER TWO.

Slept in again till 7am, Tasha was here seconds after I opened the front door. She gave me a shower before getting my breakfast.

Leo, Daemon & Freya came over for breakfast they returned to Jess’s a couple of mins before Kelli arrived.

Mum was ok today rambling a bit but ok

What a dark overcast morning, I woke at 5.55am my mask was making a lot of noise so I decided to get up.

Went to put the dishwasher on and it will not start.

Tim took the motorbike in for rego check before he left he said to me that he expects Leo to come running when he starts the bike and ask if he could go with him.

No surprise that Leo did want to go with Papa and that Papa said yes he could so he did.

Mum was good tonight

Woke at 5.35 but didn’t roll out of bed till 6am, found Tasha had been down a tossed a load of washing on. I was washed and and had my breakfast stuff out ready to be prepared.

Also found that Tim had done all the dirty dishes and he did a load of washing and hung it up to dry.

Tim drove me my appointment with podiatrist he then went Supercheap before coming home.

Mum was ok but our chat was interrupted by a phone call from Dawson and then I had Leo want me , followed by mum getting another phone call so only chatted for 30 mins.

Leo is staying tonight

Had a bit of a sleep in dragging my weary body out of bed at 6.30am. I set stuff up for breakfast before Tasha arrived to make breakfast.

Another warm and sticky day for me.

Mum sounded good although she was rambling a bit but she sounded good while doing so.

Awake and up at 5.45am had things out ready for breaky and was having a wash when Tash arrived.

Tim has taken the car to auto-transmission place for a service. Said it cost less then expected.

Tim received the new dashcam he ordered for the rear window in the car.

Mum was happy to tell me about a letter she got from Kathy-Lee although this was one she got last month but I didn’t let on.

Awake and up at 5.45am again, Tasha didn’t arrive till 6.30 she was asleep. So I had things out and ready as well as having my hearing aids in and my meds taken. I was also washed and naked trying to dress myself, when she arrived.

Leo;s 13^th birthday we gave him $50 gift card for Bing and a Pop Vinyl. He said the gift card was for too much money but hugged and thanked us].

Later he came out in a mask and hoodie and scared the life out of me.

Tim making calls about the dishwasher. After speaking to a repair man, who told him it would cost around $300 to repair and because of the brand and how hard it is to get parts for it that it would be better to just buy a new one. So that is what he did. It will be delivered this afternoon

Jess putting me to bed this afternoon.

Hello world, what news to wake to this morning, America looking like some third world country under going a coup what a disgrace.

I wonder what average Americans are thinking and feeling watching this mess play out on their TV screens.

I was shocked but not surprised.
