Friday

Spots are fading a bit thank god. Still feel crap though. Woke up with a terrible headache, taken pills but it's still there faintly. Trouble with me too is that my old achy joints need a bit of exercise else I stiffen up and hurt like hell, but haven't felt like moving around either, so it's a vicious circle there. I'm fed up with the weather too, I would have probably tried a little 10 minute walk with Emma today just to get her and me out, as the spots on my face aren't too bad at all, I almost look human even if I don't feel it, but it's been bloody blowing a gale and peeing down most of today again.

My Tesco home delivery arrived within ten minutes of the start of my time slot, and I'm thrilled to bits with the service. Everything I asked for, delivered by a lovely polite young man, who brought it all into the kitchen for me, only two items I ordered weren't available, and they send substitutes which you don't have to accept. The bad news was I intended treating myself to two iced buns, and they didn't have them, only a pack of 6! So I've eaten four already. I can't speak highly enough of the service. For £5.99 they have to supply van, driver, someone to shop and pack all the stuff for you, all the overheads, wages. I mean living here, it could be on the cards that I would be the only one that day who wanted stuff, and they would still have to do it wouldn't they? It's made me feel a sense of relief in a way that if ever I can't drive, or can't afford to run a car, I would still be able to get some decent shopping without having to worry about lugging loads back on the bus, well as long as I still have my faculties anyway.

Oh well, I'm hoping that tomorrow I may feel physically a bit better and I can get out somewhere, I don't think I will be contagious anymore. My poor birds aviary needs cleaning out so badly too, I keep looking at it, but just can't face it, and then there's the busted fence panel....
