Going Bananas - Maybe

Back now peeps, been in double lockdown Tin Pan Alley kept me prisoner, and I was seriously doing hard time.
I can't really say I enjoy this gardening malarkey, I am not  one of the natural green finger brigade it's alien to me, a lovely garden is to look at, sit in, and laze on a sunny day in a funny stripy deckchair with a glass of wine and chatting with my favorite people  laughing and just being with people you so  like, me  I am  missing like mad.


Not been for many walks this last week so that's made me a bit feel like house bound, so will get back on that as soon as the big clear up operation starts with Tin Pan Alley. The bingo took place last night but bit of a disaster marked different colored tickets but they were the same numbers stupid me with the fuzzy head with hair that is looking like an inmate of cell block H, hence the Tin Pan Alley prison look.



Cut my own hair, in a some what fashion but can't swivel my head round to see the back ,I really think if I was a bloke I would have a comb over. I have been experiencing high and low days but am trying to stay positive, and chatting with people which I tend to do now, there aren't that many of us on our own and its nice to share with others that they know how you feel. I wonder how we will all come out of the wash after this, Daz white or Fairy softness, me think its going to be Jif, removes all grime and stains leaves a bright shine fingers crossed, people this is my dream and who else would be a Jif candidate, Meeeeeeeeeeeee.


My friend Carol she is on her own and in the beginning had her grandson with her during lockdown, but he has elected to live in the care home to protect the elderly which is so commendable for a young lad respect to him. Claire also is on her own and finding it challenging so Clair being Claire is on it like a flash chink of light for a flight and  booked it in anticipation of escape.



Started again with my VPN so I can connect with my patients, I miss them and I know that they are struggling too in these times, so my chats to them over the phone are sometimes challenging to help keep them from relapsing, so sometimes it can be more exhausting for me, because nothing better than sitting having a cuppa with them, giving a hug or just holding their hands even having their dogs jump all over you even though they are smellie, but they are their only comfort their life savers, so you endure the humping round your leg, licking of the face and thinking oh no please don't get excited and pee on me I have more calls to do.


Ruby Tuesday( We rocked it but not with the Rolling Stones)
It was really cold yesterday and slabs needed to be moved or should I say heaved and torturously removed it was achieved rolling, puffing, Mick would have been proud of my pout as the oh so blue language poured out, so now clearing and hopefully final lap is in sight or for me light at the end of the tunnel.



Steve did a grand job putting edgings around the area, was thinking of sleepers but in the end settled for a cheaper version which I have to say looks really good (thanks to Steve). Sometimes have guilty thoughts that use some friends for this or that because not able to do it myself or need a hand, and feel rather bad about it,  but like to think in the past I have been able to help them in other ways so maybe not think too much in these times (eh)


Wednesday and all is well
Sun is really bright and looks like its going to be lovely day not sure what my plans are  does anybody know day to day what there plans are, and  are we all rocking up to anything that pops into our heads or silently sinking into oblivion WHO KNOWS, has my friend says well we  will see and be back later to the blog, after I have descrambled the Fuz in my head and think of a plan for today.....see's ya later.



OOH lovely neighbor has just bought me some warm homemade Banana cake she has just baked, how lovely people thinking about others. Whilst chatting safe distance ( why are we all quoting that every time we say anything I don't know......justifying contact) well digressing she as asked us all to decorate are doors up for VE day celebrations, moving are chairs and tables to front of garden and enjoy with a bottle or two or even tea cakes, will be nice and uplifting for us all I can't wait a little mingling yes please I will take some of that any day.

This is how it felt.

Back peeps after a long break its 12.30 am and still awake. Plan of today or yesterday , went as follows. Hands and knees collecting slate area of my new sitting area, arse up in the air but back breaking stuff, a little break to visit Bestie Viv out from hospital but feeling ok. Lovely catching up and so wanted to hug, cus that's what I do lots of hugging and kissing, folks I'm starving for some I have  not gone so long without this and this Butterfly needs her blooms as I have said before.



Carried on with the humping and shoveling and eventually got it done. I am guilty of fly tipping cus as I walked to Vivs deposited 2 bags of gods own earth in the bushes, is that fly tipping I don't know. but surely not bad when its soil.



Worked hard today but it will be worth it, I can't wait to have some mingling parties either at mine or Vivs. we  have it all planned , peeps who we know they will be there, and strangers that are  friends we  have yet to meet. Think there will be some that through joint friends have maybe befriended by proxy, the lovely Pam whom I know briefly but feel the links we made will surely be nice people to maybe mingle with hope so, plus she likes my blog so I will name Pam a critique and can say oh I contributed to that blog and shown direction, thank you Pam for my first, accolade  of its ok I enjoy reading it. So thanks Pam.



Bit late for me to Blog but hey a friend came round and just left' who has been isolated for weeks, and you know we drank Gin and Prosecco at a safe distance and we reminisced about days gone by, the laughs with Mel Steve Me and Him, they were the best of  times and I miss them times so much. I seem to be getting these days a little distracted blame it on this social Butterfly not having lovely flower blooms of friends to flutter over, please don't let me become a Crysalis.


Any way having put away some Gin and Prosecco I realize things will be ok. I will continue on this adventure turning the next chapter in my library of life, I will turn  the chapters and it  will be the best of a bad job, or the most exciting paragraphs of all. So hang in there folks are you in for the long haul, or just day tripping, cus this bus is rocking into where ever and no bus stops insight there will be bumps and traffic jams so pack a lunch and enjoy the scenery of my journey. 
                                      Good night sleep tight.

The only lock I need in my life.

As my picture depicts to many locks are around now, the shackles are on us all, so life again revolves around how we are going to cope. I se...
