The last day of june

And so we reach the end of the Month. where has the year gone to so far ? And where is Summer ?, so many questions and so few answers. Much like Myositis. There are so many questions to be asked when we are First diagnosed and so few answers this is why it is essential that we all do all we can to get awareness of the disease out into the wider community. On Monday it will be 12 months since I started this Daily journal and I am amazed at the number of people that have and are still reading it, the Number of people that have visited this journal is just under 20,000 and are from all around the globe so to everyone of you I say "Thank You".

The Weather here is looking brighter today although there is a lot of heavy cloud about and also some regular Rain showers mixed in with the Sunshine. as is shown by the Photo Below taken from the live Webcam at The Spinnaker Tower at the Harbour entrance at  10.00 am today.

Morning Coffee

I had a good nights sleep last night, did not go to bed until 11.45 and slept through until 7.15 apparently it rained quite heavy at 4.00 am and 6.00 am but I heard nothing, anyway got up at 8.00 made a coffee and went into the lounge to wait for Jo the carer who arrived a little later today, anyway once she was here she soon had me washed and groomed and ready for the day ahead so it was some Wheatabix for breakfast and the the laptop for facebook and emails.

Listening to the Morning News it is all about the Banks and how they have been ripping every one of with there mis-selling of Financial products, fixing of interest rates and generally causing the worldwide economical and financial problems, it is about time that all these banks and financial institutions are investigated and brought to task. ( Rant Over).

Oh well on with the day, Today I take my 15 mg of Prednisolone after taking 0 mg Yesterday so hopefully I will have a bit more energy today. I have had a letter this morning from the Speech Therapist at the Turner Centre To phone and arrange the 6 monthly appointment to check my swallowing. It does not seem like it was on the 16th of december that I saw her and went from a puree diet on to the Soft lumps diet. I have come a long way since then.

Well not much has happened this morning, it has been very uneventful, apart from the fact that I cannot stop wanting to eat. I managed to take a slow stroll pushing the wheelchair round to Tesco Express and got some bread and also some bacon, and made a nice Bacon sandwich for lunch, followed by a yoghurt and a cup of Coffee and at 2.30 had a slice of bread and jam. Yum Yum. Anyway once lunch was over I had a lie down and then had a look on line and see that they are running free family events at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard today for Armed Forces Day. Unfortunately I am unable to get down there, which is a shame as both my Paternal and Maternal families were Royal Navy.

 Well the afternoon has passed without any problems and I have now got to finish this journal and get it Posted before getting the Vegetable into the steamer ready for getting dinner at 6.30. tonight it will be a nice piece of Sea Bass with a Cauliflower and Broccoli cheese bake and new potato,s all home cooked and the fish is fresh so should be tasty.

Hopefully the weather has been good for the olympic torch relay today. the Relay is now onto day 43 and is going from Derby to Birmingham. the first photo shows War Hero Johnson Beharry carrying the torch through the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas in Staffordshire

And in the next photograph we can see "Tracy Round" carrying the Torch past Tamworth Castle
