Mundane News

[Andy in Germany]

I went out to Esslingen.

I'm back now.

It was -2°c. My beard froze.

Bird feeder topped up. That's the last sunflower hearts.

Shed News: I tidied up the shed this morning. A mouse jumped out of its furry little skin when I disturbed its nest.
Now I know what's been nibbling holes in the bird seed bags and fat balls!

I've just binge-watched 3 episodes of Life on Mars, streamed off the iPlayer. I enjoyed it first time round and my memory is so bad that I don't remember half of what I've been watching. Life's a marvel for people who can't remember the first time....they can have the first time again....

My mother's memory is so bad she'd re-reading books & magazines all the time. Mind, this morning she told a the carer she didn't know who I was!

It's not nice, I lost my mother years ago to dementia, she didn't know me for the last 3 years of her life, my father has just been confirmed with vascular dementia, mind you at 95 he's had a good innings.

My mother's memory seems to be variable. It's the wanting to go and see her mother that I hate.

I fully understand that & the pain you feel when you come back out.

Trim all the small crappy bits off first, chain saw into (roughly) 8 inch lengths, then use a long-handled axe to split where necessary. Start at the top and work your way down to the base.

Use the logs you cut off to support the trunk while cutting - you want it well up off the floor, as any dirt / soil will blunt the chain really quickly.

Trouble is, my chain saw is just too small & some of the logs are heavy! Still I'm learning to use a long axe, I hit the same spot from time to time.

The shredder is earning it's keep tho'.

I haven't left for Canterbury yet, I'm going to see my dad who does not know who I am. Sad innit?

Schrodie came running in, jumped up onto my lap , inspected my glasses and gave me some gentle chin rubs .
Total opposite to the acupuncture session we had this morning .
