Thermals top and bottom, shirt, jeans, thick jumper, central heating on 18 degrees and gas fire on. Screw British Gas, they can fight me later if the credit balance I have with them don't cover it.

Well tomorrow I got a colonoscopy in Sheffield. Just taken the first dose of clearing out stuff, it tastes bloody horrible Another dose of more potent stuff in approximately 3 hours to take as well. I'm going to be starving by tomorrow morning, at least the procedure is at 9.30am

So tonight we crack our second site in just 3 weeks before private Balliffs move us on Saturday. They are animals who damage both trailers and vehicles getting them to the highway . Best we move ourselves. Wish us luck, prep done to access with chainsaw and lock sorted already.

So today is my 65th birthday. In years gone past I would be applying for my State Pension. However due to government messing about I have another 16 month to do before I get SP. In addition I have the transfer to Universal Credit letter, Happy Birthday.

So evicted from a long standing site. Eviction date the 18th. Managed to break a new site 12 days ago but just been told we have to a week Saturday before Balliffs tow us off. Gained a whole 3 days... It's getting really hard to live on the road.

Just had to fill in the application form to renew my blue badge and hand delivered. 14 pages of which 12 I had to fill in. Taken two weeks and still have to get a photo taken and sent in. I swear it was as difficult and stressful as a PiP form. #BlueBadge #DisabilityBenefits

If you’ve never had to fill in the form, try to collect all the supporting evidence and then been through a PIP assessment. If you've never had your condition dismissed by a stranger. If you've never lived in terror of the brown envelope. Then your opinion on PIP is worthless. #DisabilityBenefits

Facebook Portal. Yes I know it's 'Old Tech' but being disabled it was useful for reminders and the Alexa function, video calls and Spotify. Meta's deliberate withdrawing of these systems / apps is bordering on criminal. Do you think I could get a refund from Amazon?

Good morning lovely phone family. Another wet and cold day here. How's it looking for you? When I speak to homeless folk, they're as grateful for the time and effort of those chatting to them as much as financial or practical support. We all need kindness 🥰 Have a great day 😘 #HaveCourageAndBeKind

Magazine advert with an image of a glass and bottle of red wine and the text: Looking for a fine wine at an affordable price?
None of Yer Shité
If you are tired of paying £5 for a bottle of wine, only to be disappointed by its inferior taste, then you'll be pleasantly surprised by
None of yer Shite. A truly drinkable drop at a price that won't break the bank.

Comes in Red, White and Rosé
Available at Majestic, Boozebuster,
Cigs 'n' Booze and all good offies.

Our NHS is not for sale. Trump will ask for access to the NHS for US firms as part of any trade deal. Tell Starmer our NHS is off the table for any negotiations in any proposed trade deal with the USA. 38d.gs/82rc

Don't sell our NHS for a trade deal with Trump
Our NHS is not for sale. Trade talks with Trump must not open the door to US healthcare profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during deal negotiations....

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

51 years and 190 days. It costs around £51k a year to keep a Cat A prisoner locked up. So if the bastard makes it that's over £2 million. 10 metres of quality 40mm hemp rope capable of holding considerable weight can be bought for less than £160. #AxelRudakubana

Peripheral neuropathy, great thing to have. Go to cut some wire with a Stanley knife and take out the base of your thumb as well.... Can't decide whether to super glue it or just add it to the interesting hand scars collection. Proper wire cutters ordered.

Ah well.... Physiotherapist ain't too happy. Not worried about me and doing the exercises, that's OK. Problem is the top of left leg muscle tone is vanishing before my / their eyes. Upshot is the buggers won't discharge me. #HipReplacement

I can't phone the dentist either. Mind you that's because no dentist within 40 mile is taking on new NHS business and others are insisting on a monthly insurance policy before they will even consider taking you on.

With the increase in hard overnight frosts now is a good time to drain the summer air out of your tyres and refill them with winter air. Winter air will balance the temperatures inside your tyre with the ambient temperature outside. Follow me for more useful Driving and Vehicle Maintenance tips.

Six week plus one day hip install update. Well that's the carers signed off, don't know who was more pleased to get rid, them or me. Managed to get the awful TED stockings off, the relief is bloody fantastic. Standard none elastic socks on for now but do have some graduated pressure stockings
