So I thought I would see how the Big Macs are these days. I haven’t had one for quite a long time. Well unfortunately it was cold but I did enjoy the salty fries and the chocolate milkshake but altogether very disappointing.

I would have been very worried if Reform had won the by-election but I am quite happy with the Greens.

Oh dear, Labour has not done well in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Not that anyone had expected them to. I know the media have painted them and their leader really badly since they came into power but most of the media is Tory. Nothing is easy!

I think that I have ordered all of my groceries for many weeks going forward but I will have to check… well, apart from adding or deleting different items, l am all sorted out. Brilliant!

My GP told me to double my painkillers and see how that works so that is what I did. Lovely to be pain free last night but this morning I felt as though I was completely drunk and very wobbly etc. So I put my painkillers back down again.

I had to be up early so I am now up and dressed and have had my breakfast. I’m sort of pleased with myself that I’m up but not feeling that great. Oh well!

I have tried to get up and washed and dressed but not very organised this morning. But I’m decent and trying to wake up. I have someone coming in a little while so I have done my best.

I love Sundays. Political programmes on the television and no callers although I am always here for friends but I can completely relax. I was up early and watching Trevor Phillips on Sky News channel. Bridget Phillipson was the first guest and as I read an article about her in the New Statesman yesterday I see her quite differently!

I kept telling myself that I shouldn’t get up because it’s the weekend but I couldn’t just lie there. So I’m sitting here telling myself the same thing – it’s Saturday and I have no need to rush at anything. But there’s stuff to do!

I have been up for nearly an hour. Trying to feel normal but still feeling a bit dazed – so I will try to get on with things – oh well!
