Google does not want to find this
I thought I would try to find an entry in this blog. Completely failed. Silly.

T's Catheter
I clearly did not do much blogging in the past, and there is no reference to the months when T had a catheter.

The catheter is often uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. I have tended to just accept it as par for the course.
However I am currently trying to see if I can ease things with things like savlon. So far so good, with absolutely tiny amounts providing lubrication and reduced inflammation
Obviously I am getting fed up with the inconvenience of the things, as I do more walking and playing. I should get called to Pembury any day now. Here's hoping.

Jono's cold
Both feeling tired and under par. No doubt caught from J. He is so sociable that he probably will be giving us both welcome future immunity. But it does sometimes make us feel decrepit.

South heath birds
I sat listening to the songs and calls.
Tawny owl over the fence was most satisfying. Within striking distance of new box.
Buzzard, linnets. Bullfinch. Gold rest, robin, raven, skylark, blue tit, crow.
Did not see anything.

Better understanding of my condition early on
I am beginning to understand my early inability to see myself as having a problem. I was too enthusiastic about my own detailed logic and thoughts. I was not critical enough about not having a good understanding of the general situation.
An example was my bed wetting issue. I spent a lot of effort in avoiding damage etc, but none to the question of needing medical help. No doubt my damp avoidance techniques were good, but that was hardly the point.
On the other hand, nobody asked the question for me, as far as I know, until a chunk later.
My memories of these early phases is very poor, which is another indication of the problem.

Aired the car
Lovely day, with a breeze, so perfect drying weather.
Opened all the doors.
Wedged open the carpet hole behind the drivers seat, with a wooden stick.

Waitrose Monday
So I went to Waitrose in Tonbridge, and had a good shop.
The journey there was pretty good, and walking from the castle was pretty quick.
It was wonderful being back in a large quality store. I probably bought too many heavy things, which I would regret at the other end.
Very quiet at this time of day. Only one checkout operating, as far as I could see, and no queues.
Bus back fine, getting off at paydens, which gave a flat run back home.
