urine history
If I have a dodgy urine pipe, then one should ask the question about what other things it might be responsible for.
. The pain, which led to tamulosin
. The night difficulty to pee completely sometimes, during the cycle of having the cancer injections. I would drink a lot of water to stimulate the biggest pee.
. The bed wetting period just before entering Pembury
There may have been other symptoms, I have not remembered or considered.

keyboard
To get the keyboard to work on a small tablet, you should use it in a vertical position. Otherwise you will be missing the keyboard.
M
spider
I caught in the top bathroom a very large spider and chucked it outside the kitchen door.
I am a hero, of course.
I could see it running away.
M
hair wash and shower
Tried to wash my hair yesterday in the shower. It basically failed to work.
On thinking about it, I think the water pressure must have been a problem. Next time I should check the downstairs loo, as this is often a good measure of what is happening.
The water is ok from the roof tank, but not from the mains.
Everything seemed fine in the shower unit itself. Just little more than a dribble.
M
statins
Tricia's statins should be ready for collection tomorrow. Only time will tell.
Anyway when we are there to see Creed, we can check the progress, both in the practice and the pharmacy.
M
lots of buses
Went to paydens this morning and am catching a bus to tonbridge now. There seem to be masses that I have not seen at tescos. Are they skipping the centre of town? They tend to be longer distance, and maybe dint stip so often.
Anyway shows a time for the castle.

tesco survey
Just too complicsted to complete without errors. Abandoned. I hope they can see the aborted drafts. Not sure if they should publish anything, but the info could be availble for them, but not others.
M
changed bags
Catheter bag change done smoothly.
Still a bit uncomfortable.
M
Jonathon back.
No real info, other than he still looks stiff in his movements. Did not spot Sue.
Looked as if he drove.
The building works will have advanced a lot since he left. Is very good from our view, but must be a shock for him.
M
version problems
The rate of change with all suppliers is making it difficult to operate efficiently. There are just too many problems and issues with things, particularly security changes.
I thing I should move somethings onto the ipad, as the most stable and complete solution.
This can be extended to apple in general with some confidence.

M
gardening
Did quite a bit of work in front garden, particularly outside the study.
Not sure if earth has recovered from whatever problem the ground had.
A lot more work needed.
M
lydl success
All went pretty well. Bus from stop nearest the crossroad going. Only a small wait both ends.
Lydl fine.
Return trip took me to monson road.

Going to be hOt this week apparently.

phone earphones
I have ordered a set of earplugs which talk to a phone, so that I can take calls at anytime without having to find and extrcate it.
Nice possibility. The funny thing is that they are rediculously cheap.
Went to amazon, but they just try to rook you.
M
trial lydl run
Bit of a disaster in the everything was shut. However I did work out walking route, which is basicall straight down the lane across, with a final right turn up to carpark. Then along the path at the back and then first left to the round about.
Am trying the sunday buses back into tiwn, which seem to be at least one per hour, but not quitesure of the route.
Does not say anything aboutbeung dependent on shops, so fingers crossed

Not sure about return journey. Bus?

apple entries.
I think I put in some entries today on the ipad, which I cannot yet see here.
Probably waitingg for me to do something
Need to check
M
fence in corner
A bit messed around by next door cutting off some ivy. Not too worried, but they should have been more careful to work out where things came from and where they go.
The growth will have started with me, gone over to Jonathon, and the back to dentist and myself.
Any anyway, they will have some dead stuff facing them from my side now. Hope they dint try to do snything to it.
Probably Ucranians, rather than jonathon.
M
Green Woodpecker
One heard calling somewhere near home. No idea whether male or female. I rather assume only a call, and both sexes are alike, rather than a song.
Dont know if they drum either.
M
Still slightly increased discomfort
Things have settled down a bit after traumatic Tuesday. Pain just slightly worse than normal, but hardly surprising given the battering I had getting the catheter in place. 8 on the pain score is my reasonable valuation.
I continue to improve the setup, with subtle methods of holding bits in place during the day.
The hospital bags are cheap and nasty, and I quickly discarded them.
I am fine walking into town, but am being more careful and probably smoothly slow.

Red Volvo back in road
Maybe Jonathon and Sue will be back soon. I thought they might have been cycling in France, but now seems less likely.
M
tiling on main building
They have started some tiling on the main building. This is above a dormer window. It is directly behind the end of tesco's as seen from the kitchen.
It is pretty exposed, and they are carefully motaring it in place .
Watch this space.
M
just got my tamulosin
This was a near thing, given Easter closures of practices and chemists.
The practice had everything monday morning, but nothing had been done until I arrived today ( thursday). Chemist could do nothing, but they did know that they had a stock of the tablets.
Anyway with prompt, the practice quickly produced a signed perscription for any chemist, and sent me off. Downstairs they prioritised me because I said I would wait, and I had the package within about ten minutes.
Wow. It can move when it wants to. My worries were over. But if it had been delayed till friday, it might have been a mess. Normal service would have been next Tuesday.
I suppose I would normally have checked on Tuesday and Wednesday, but this time they were occupied and busy days, and it was not unreasonable to think the prescription would have got to the chemist by thursday morning, or at least authorised.
Probably easter is the worst time of year. Only christmas day on thursday would be equivalent, and that is only once in say six years.
