Previously infected ear has been giving me problems since last Wednesday. Shop bought drops not doing much. Hope it clears by Wednesday. I really don't want to have to endure the walk-in centre again.

Blu ray player died. Wouldn't switch on so we went out to get another but it wouldn't automatically adjust to the correct picture ratio when a disc was inserted (the old one did) which is the shiny disc equivalent of nails down a blackboard to me so it will be returned.
We have now tried to watch The Italian Job (which I haven't seen) FOUR times!
1: dvd packed up a few mins in.
2: film turned up on Prime but Roku doesn't like Prime on our old telly so the sound kept cutting out.
3: blu ray player died.
4: new blu ray player plays things in the wrong ratio.

You might be in for a challenge: I've never had a player that's managed to do the aspect ratio change thing properly between itself and the TV

My last one did (which is why I cherished it) and is still available online to repurchase when the refund comes in for the not good one.

Morning All!
It's Tuesday!
Yesterday: Doig a day on 3 hours sleep was tough, especially as I was leading the Prayer Meeting at 8am and did need to be functional to do it. Think it went OK, Rest of the day a blur f tiredness and some pain. Moving badly. Face is behaving oddly, some moments it feels fine and the next painful.
Much better night's sleep: off at midnight, awake briefly at 4 but back off soon after.
Today: J ARC, L Teaching x 2, J ASD group. Got a meeting on Zoom tonight.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.

Popped along to the walk-in to get in early before it filled up. Inflamed ear canal so given a magic spray. Then I raced home (I am not doing buses) and arrived home dripping with sweat to make it in time for a careers service online seminar which it turned out had just been cancelled.
Coffee shop on the way back was shut. Bummer.

Morning All!
It's Wednesday
Yesterday: Odd day. Physically middle ground, not to bad without being great. Mentally OK too, nothing troubling me but my head..... just not in the right place. Hard to describe. Awake till 1, awake again at 6. Better than some nights but 7 hours sleep would be better than 5.
Today: J ARC. Friend coming over and we're off to the Biplob for the first time since Feb 2020! Food order. Church meeting in evening on Zoom.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Morning All!
It's Thursday!
Yesterday: A good day: Made it into a different shop in the chair. Looking into chest like freezer cabinets from a wheelchair isn't easy. Then we went out for lunch and *FINALLY* returned to the Biplob. Superb meal, I've missed going in there. Homegroup followed by Church Meeting in the evening
Today: L teaching then out for lunch, J bus training taking a new route. Food in. Teching lunchtime.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

You might be in for a challenge: I've never had a player that's managed to do the aspect ratio change thing properly between itself and the TV Replacement player here. Same as the last one as very importantly it automatically adjusts the aspect ratio to whatever you are watching! Also does a good upscale job on dvd's. Very happy. The model is: LG BP250 DGBRLLK Blu-Ray and DVD Disc Player. £50 on Amazon. -Ralph |

Looked at the news and saw the terrifying stuff about case rates and Johnson's mad plans to ignore them. My head imploded and I took to my bed for a few hours. I have now been ordered not to look at news until after job interview and wedding.

It is all a bit shit. Still fortunately case-free in school but more parents are testing positive and taking kids out to isolate than has happened all the way through this. I've got a couple of nights away booked for the start of the holiday to de-stress and if that gets messed up because I end up having to isolate I'll be more than peeved. This term has been very long and very hard and I don't want to fall at the last hurdle.

Morning All!
This is Saturday, Wear A Smile!
Yesterday: Started OK, then the pain rolled in during the prayer meeting. Then I spilt a pint and a bit of milk on the kitchen floor. THEN J was a little uncooperative loading the car for the tip trip and *THEN* when he did cooperate he went out the door barefoot and cut his toe open! Thankfully things picked up after that. Two parcels arrived, book ordered, missing book's release date confirmed, chip shop lunch in garden, a nice sleep and some time with Liz in the evening. Bit done by the end of the day though.
Slept throuh to about 5:45. Awake for an hour or so, then back to sleep till 9, thank you Lord!
Today: Quiet. Some prep for tomorrow needs doing. Zoom Mum this afternoon and am hosting the TMUK Zoom tonight.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.
