probably no laundry at weekends

cleared car
Quite an effort.
Lots of condensation inside the car. Needs a good blow through. Front left back right. Dificult to leave windows open, but one might leave the heater/demister controls open at max.
M
securing browsers
Various bits of software now can get a foothold into browsers. It is best to lock the browsers down as much as you can.
It is really a pain when these creeps get a foothold
M
taxi day
Going to hail my first taxi here, taking me for a visit home.

nice walk
Starting at the home, went down through their garden, getting finally to an iron fence and a meadow there sloping down quite steeply to a stream. It looks as if following the stream down to the left you get to the road into Speldhurst. You can get to the road, cross the stream and get back into fields the other side of the stream.
Must try and find out where the bus stops are, and pavements.

Seems to be somewhat later, and maybe mostly in bed.
I am still only one in dining room

returned the clippers
M
some connection problems
I think signal inside the building is not very strong at the top where my bedroom is. Once it gets established, it seems ok. But it seems slow to get going
M
cut my toe nails
I seem to be the only one eating breakfast downstairs.
So I have the place to myself.
Straightened the three pictures in the dining room. They were getting on my nerves.
M
nail clippers at last
I have not managed to get my toe nails cut since I went ill. Finally I have two pairs, and will shortly snip my toes nails, after a good soaking.

wifi
now in new care home
In speldhurst. Now got as far as using their in house wifi.
Had an excellent lunch, and reorganised my top floor bedroom completely.
It is quite a fun care home, in a grand house. I do not know its age, but could be earlier than edwardian. Grand fireplaces and elaborate ceiling moulding. So home on steriods. It has far too much stuff, victorian collections etc, everywhere. It is a huge change from previous place wich was clinically modern.
Anyway it is nice to think that I am allowed to walk outside.

two pairs of pants had been quietly returned
langton green is Speldhurst
When describing bus routes, langton green is called speldhurst. In terms of council division this may be correct, but for the bus traveller not very helpful.
M
all packed up in bedroom
And shaven.
Next breakfast, and waiting for Jono to arrive.

completed questionaire
Two nice ladies did the questionaire with me. Very straight forward, with scope for jokes etc.
Will be arranging some transport mostly likely for tomorrow.
Clearly some routes across fields into the village
M
some of the staff rush around too much.
For all sorts of reasons, this is bad practice.
Staff need to think ahead, planning their strategies, weighing up priorities, optimising the whole operation, appearing under control.
More haste, less speed
M
song thrush singing outside my window
I think this rather than blackbird. Anyway the one that repeats the first phrase.
