Ranting about nothing very interesting.
I'm glad I can get out of the apartment - but we're all staying well separated when we do.It's good to see other humans also trying to be sensible.
Today Jim Webster has stolen my blog which means it will get many more hits! 🤣🤣🤣https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2020/05/10/ta...

There’s another blog out ... it’s a bit introspective and shit but it’s better than nothing I guess ... https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2020/05/16/sod/

Glad you folks enjoyed it. I’ve been mulling that one over for a long time but it’s taken ages to get to the point where I could articulate it.

Here’s another. Definitely alarums and excursions this week! https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2020/05/23/bu...
Here’s a slightly sadder note. Had a bit of a melt down on Sunday, so I wrote about it ... as you do. :-)https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2020/05/30/de...
Just read it, I do hope it is kinder to your mum, it was hard enough dealing with it once, can't imagine having to do it twice x

Thanks both. Yeh. It is a bit shit. I hope it will be easier on all of us this time.

reminds me why I've avoided American companies other than amazon who accept UK tax details
Amazon keeps eating others' lunch - by doing what seems obvious, making it easy for people to buy and sell on their platform.It may not be the best company in the world, but it gets a lot of things right.

yes, that is their strength
They are horrible to their suppliers though. I've had several nastygrams from them over the years - change this within 24 hours or your account will be terminated. That kind of thing. Usually stuff they've altered on page seventy three of their terms and conditions which I've missed.Jeff Bezos' mantra, 'your margin is my opportunity'
I confess I've never had any of them (yet :-( )
Found this weeks quite interesting, thinking it might explain my lack of energy on a Sat morning, I'm still dealing with the heightened stuff from work and pain levels.

Basically, it appears that I’m going through a perfect storm of things that give you brain fog! I hope it mad you feel a bit less wired about it all. Definitely a scales from the eyes moment for me. :-)

I was vaguely aware of chronic pain causing brain fog, and think it is part of the reason I wake up feeling drained and headachy regardless of whether I have slept through or not. But yes, your blog post did make me feel better about the situation, I remember shortly after being furloughed my neighbour commenting that maybe I don’t have cognitive fatigue as I was doing less and still struggling to think of words etc, but the Covid situation was probably to blame. Good job I have Lucy to make me sit down longer than I intend to at times though.

But yes, your blo..."Also cats are so cathartic, there's nothing like a purring furry nutter sitting on your lap to make you feel better. :-)
I'm so glad it helped, I suffer from arthritis too so I totally sympathise.
As long as they are being nice and cuddly and you aren't cleaning bodily fluids off the carpet etc!!
Mmm very true. Have just had to do that ... not the carpet but vomit off the floor. Ugh. :-(On the upside, possibly, I’ve done a blog post.

Another one I appreciated MT, read the link, that last paragraph sums up a lot for me

I had a lot of conversations with people on Sat that made me feel a lot better.
Desley (Cat fosterer) wrote: "I had a lot of conversations with people on Sat that made me feel a lot better."I think far too many of us have been denied something as simple as conversation. I've noticed a lot of people seem happy to chat because I suspect they've not had much chance
Desley (Cat fosterer) wrote: "I had a lot of conversations with people on Sat that made me feel a lot better."Good to hear!
There was almost TOO much social life here when we moved in, two years ago in a month - and now there's so little it's pitiful.
So many fascinating people - and they're all hunkered down in their bunkers because we're ALL over 65, and most of us have a couple of other things of concern. This is the kind of place where we thrive under normal circumstances, and people live a long life despite problems.
Hope a vaccine doesn't forget us.
Finally got around to updating a better picture.
That’s interesting Jim, I thought it was because I had more time that I was happy to engage in conversation more, but maybe it was partly missing it! Sorry you have gone from too much to too little Alicia, I do hope you can strike a balance over there.
Drought or deluge, eh?I'm taking advantage. The writing is hard enough.
Looks like you are doing a grand job with the writing Alicia. At least that’s going well.It’s a rather boring one this week. But here it is, anyway: https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2020/08/01/hm...
