I’m off work today because I worked yesterday. It doesn’t, as I said at work, when being asked to swap, make any difference to me. Instead of bouncing round an empty house on Monday while Julia is at work, I will bounce around an empty house on Tuesday.
And that’s how it is. I have surfed the web, wasted my time and considered what to hve for lunch. It is now nearly 3pm and I have still had no lunch or done any proper work.
I haven’t written anything for ages, due to various illnesses and I really should get on with it. Same for decluttering. That never really got going, and then it stopped. In addition to that, I need to get some cooking done to ease Julia’s burden, as she’s been doing everything in the house for a month now.
Part of the problem is that I had a bad night last night. I meant to get a good night’s sleep, but ended up waking four times. I will be glad to get to Urology and get this sorted out again.
Meanwhile, I can remember one of my dreams from last night, something I don’t often do. Julia was on a voyage of Antarctic Exploration, and ended up forming a friendship with George Orwell. He hadn’t been in my mind when I went to sleep, and nor had the Antarctic, so I’m not sure where all this came from. As for the second, I remember having it but I can remember nothing about it.
I’d better do some work now, having enthused myself by blogging.
We have a lot of veg at the moment because we didn’t do a lot of cooking last week and I’m not good at cutting my orders down.
New 10p coins – typical British subjects?
Dreams! I know I dream but I hardly ever remember what they were about mainly because as soon as I wake I start worrying about things. The dreams I do remember are usually so odd I daren’t tell anyone about them! I hope you get your hospital appointment soon.
Hospital – fingers crossed.
Dreams – yes, tricky to remember and yes, when I remember them I tend to keep quiet about them in case they reveal too much. 🙂
This one seemed safe enough. But maybe I’m wrong.
You haven’t had your troubles to seek but at least you have had another day. When you get to a certain age, another day may be the best that you can hope for. 🙂
We were discussing this tonight – Julia pointed out that death and taxes are unavoidable. Without wishing to incriminate myself, I agreed that death is unavoidable. Taxes . . .
I’ll have to examine the new coins if I get any
They were a marketing disaster – much hype, advertising on buses, then shortages at the Post Office when sold in Collectors’ Packs and very few ever seen in change because of a limited production run and failure to reissue on a regular basis. Only issued in 2018 and 2019 and a total of 304,000 of each design. Compare this to the Paddington Bear 50p coins of 2018 and 2019 (over 5,000,000 of each design minted (they aren’t rare despite what it says on eBay) and you can see how scarce the 10p coins are (total of 7.9 million minted. And of course, they are made rarer because people collected them keenly – both coin collectors and people who generally wanted to make up names of family members.

Amazing. It even does seem to have been a marketing disaster.
Trying to sell stuff you don’t have is a classic mistake all the books warn you against.
Well, it sounds like you’re having a time of it. In dream interpretation, Antarctica can symbolize challenges and hardships in waking life. Since Julia is exploring it, it could symbolize her tenacity and drive. Dreaming of your wife can symbolize unresolved issues. Your feelings in the dream may be something unexpressed in waking life. As for Orwell, he’s not in the dream dictionary! And you may not believe this nonsense anyway, but…it’s good to reflect on a dream you remember.
My dreams are often a scrambled version of reality as my brain cleans itself. However, I’m at a loss with this one. 🙂
It is interesting what gets conjured up from the depths of the sleeping mind! 🙂 I hope you get a better night’s sleep, Simon.
With practice, and the intervention of Urology, things will get better. 🙂
