It’s really tragic that with the price of baby milk many parents can’t afford to feed their babies. An awful fact of life these days.

I have completely overslept this morning and I have visitors coming soon and deliveries.

Just having some pomegranate. I didn’t sleep last night so came back downstairs after a few hours. Watched self made recordings on the television, had breakfast, been back upstairs to sort out my washing and turn off the alarm. And now ready to face the day.

I can understand Labour not committing to any big spends because they haven’t seen the books but the Tories have been in thirteen years – they have no excuse!

I seem to be getting on really well with my stairlift. Well – so far so good. Yesterday I went whizzing up and down the stairs on it taking my clean washing back upstairs. And this morning I have brought my breakfast up to my bedroom – heaven!

The last time I was having a repeat prescription delivery on a Saturday I was awoken by him at the front door. I thought they came after 9.00 and I had slept in. So this morning I was disturbed early by a dream that my pool man was at the front door which, like any other dream, didn’t feel mad. I live in a very little terraced house!

All these stabbings especially in London where l grew up and lived for 37 years are really tragic. It must be very scary for everyone.

I had a really late night last night and I am having a visitor a little later. Trying to get myself together but easier said than done. Perhaps after my breakfast!!

The television guy reckons the problem isn’t the television but the box so I made the relevant phone call. They sent me a text telling me to turn the plug off and on which I did. So far so good.

I tried to put the radio on this morning but it is very crackly. Not a great success!!
