I do get very anxious quite often and fret about lots of things coming up until they are done. Even simple things like the delivery of something. Anything which is important to me.

I didn’t get up until around 11.00 – l was so tired – so I’m watching this week’s episodes of Neighbours a little later than usual. But I have no idea what has been happening in the world since yesterday as anything can be very changeable on this planet of ours.

I find myself wide awake and downstairs having given up trying to sleep with recurrent pain in my shoulder and neck. I will try some meds and see if I can get some sleep in the armchair. At least I will be up in time for the window cleaner who usually comes first thing unless, of course, it’s raining.

Offers being made to help a certain far right leader to become PM in the United Kingdom. How can people be so stupid!?

So many men have a shortage of hair that you would think they would value what they have and let it grow a little. Instead they cut it really short without any thought about how unattractive they look. And they do the same to their poor sons. A real shame!

Oh dear! I was woken early by my mobile going ding. It was a group chat thingy and really nothing important for me to be awake at 8.00 on a bank holiday. I had been really looking forward to a sleep in but my phone kept going ding. I woke up properly around 10 and mentioned that I was tired and grumpy and fed up which turned into an argument. Apparently I should have foreseen that they might have started chatting early and muted my phone but nobody else would be that selfish. Hopefully I will cheer up later!

I have really got my fingers crossed for the Labour Party. I know that they had to make savings but I haven’t agreed to many of the choices they have made. They have Reform snapping around their ankles and the Tories barking all around them and the Tory press being unhelpful which is to be expected. But they have to stand firm and do their best.

I haven’t been up long. I usually fall asleep watching television with my glasses on. Last night was my trial of taking off my new specs when I got into bed and putting on my previous pair overnight. So far so good!

I picked up my new glasses yesterday. My dear friend S took me into the City Centre and it was nice to have the company for a change especially when I was in the opticians. I am usually on my own. Although I am quite often driven by my friend C so I suppose I am spoiled.

It’s crippling to see the leader of the free world coming out with nonsense and attacking other leaders. Four years of this… awful!
