Deirdre Geraghty

I am mentally constipated today. Completely void of all imaginative thoughts. Absolutely nothing to say for myself… is this the beginning of the end?… Mind you I have been here before. This empty mind is something I have had years of… I still take quite an amount of antipsychotics although less than before.

Listening to the Chancellor trying to promote his party and Brexit this morning. I know a lot of people have short memories but I don’t think that they will forget anytime soon.

More countries are promising better tanks for Ukraine – the problem is how soon can they get them there and how soon can their technologies be taught?. And how many more tanks can we all offer?

I have another slight sore throat this morning but it seems to come on every time I have white crusty bread. I don’t know why!

I woke up early this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep so I got up. I should finish the envelope stuffing today which is a good feeling. But I will wait and see!

I hope Germany will give permission for their tanks to go to Ukraine. That would make all the difference.

I couldn’t get to sleep last night so I have got up and dressed and in the sitting room watching television. Might watch some recorded programmes. I might feel sleepy later.

I am on go slow today. Not out of choice – just the way I am. I am just going to rest from the envelope stuffing until Monday – thank goodness!

I am really tired today with back pain as I am not used to working flat out but it feels good to be doing something useful. I intend to work today. Envelope stuffing is something I have done a long time ago in my past.

I said I would do some envelope stuffing for the Labour Party which is the one thing I can do. I will probably start that today.
