Monday 2 November

I slept through the night woke at 4am and decided to stay up, had a rough start due to being hot and sticky I was going to wear my brown shorts, didn’t have any trouble getting them on but when I went to the toilet I was so sticky that I had trouble pulling them down and trying to get them up was a waste of time, I took them off and tossed them in frustration. I changed into my orange shorts easier to pull up and down.

I have requested an appointment for that to be done.

Bought Tim another loaf of bread, asked the women 3 times if it was sandwich, she said it was, Tim took one look at it and said it’s toast not sandwich, I explained that I checked with the woman who served me, and he said what an idiot. Thankfully he wasn’t angry with me.

However, as she was leaving her place, she was carrying the old one to toss it in the bin and managed to twist her ankle and throw herself left so she wouldn’t’ fall down the stairs, she hurt her arm, ankle and head.
