Lets Hit the Town.

Time to get up.
So Another decent nights sleep chalked up again last night. Although I did not get to bed until about 11.30 I was asleep by 12.30 and slept through until 7.00 this morning so pleased with that, anyway when I woke up and went to the kitchen to make a coffee the wind was quite strong and it was blowing the rain against the window so not a good day outside at the moment, so hopefully it will get better.

Breakfast TV.
So I get the coffee and make my way back to bed for 45 minutes until 8.00 pm when I make my way into the lounge ready for when Amanda my carer comes, while I am waiting I put on the BBC 1 News and the weather forecast is for a windy day with showers bu getting brighter this afternoon but still windy until this evening, Oh well Pauline and I are going down to the City Centre later this morning so lets hope it is not to wet and windy.
Portsmouth 9.00 am Today.
Amanda Is later arriving today and does not get here until about 8.40 anyway she is slightly windswept on her Bike but at least the rain has held off so we have a chat and she gets me washed and groomed, ready for the day ahead, so at 9.00 am Amanda has left for her next client and I am texting Pauline to let her know that all is done and dusted here, and then I get on to the laptop and see who is around on Facebook and check my emails, I have 4 E-mails in my in box folder and 132 E-mails in my spam folder, I am not spoiled for choice if I need Viagra or if I need a Pay Day Loan. (LOL). Anyway check the Live webcam of Portsmouth harbour and it is very grey and overcast here this morning at 9.00 am.

At 9.30 Pauline phones to say that if we are going down to the City Centre it would be better if I got the Taxi and collected her on the way, that sounds like a plan to me so book the Taxi for 10.30, also Gordon is up in Salisbury but is not feeling well so is going to cancel his clients today and make his way back home. looks like he has picked up a bit of a virus. So time to get a shave and then get dressed and the wheelchair ready for the Taxi at 10.30.

Matalan Portsmouth City Centre.
The Taxi arrives at 10.30 as booked and The Driver gets the wheelchair into the cab and off we go to get Pauline and then down to the City centre. we get the Driver to drop us off at Matalan,s as that is the first store we need to visit today, to get me some Boxer shorts and to see if there is anything there that pauline needs to get, anyway that was a waste of time as there is nothing there that either of us want, still it was nice to have a look round.

Debenham,s, Portsmouth.
So Next stop then is Barclays bank, and then into Debenham,s to pay my Debenham,s account for January, there are not many people in here today, and there are so many Christmas items reduced by silly amounts to get rid of them, anyway we que up and pay the account and then make our way out into the Precinct, The wind seems to be getting stronger but there are patches of blue sky starting to appear.

Lunch at Tesco in Commercial Road.
So next stop is boots the Chemist for there equivalent of "Tenna For Men" but again no luck, they have not got any in stock, good job I keep a decent supply indoors, not that I use many these day,s as I seem to be getting my control back as my muscles are getting stronger.  so that is all really apart from Tesco to get a couple of items and probably some soup for lunch.  Well as usual I embarrass Pauline, Pauline gets a pack of 9 Toilet rolls and I say to her in a loudish Voice "Are they within their use by date", Pauline says "Toilet Rolls don,t have a use by date", "Yes they do" I say, Pauline said "Why" I said "because after the use by date your finger goes through when you use them", Well There was a woman shopping in the same aislse, and she tried not to laugh, but in the end she could not contain herself.  But that is Me., anyway we then go to the Cafeteria where pauline has mushroom soup, and I have a small Chicken Casserole with Mash Potato, and really Enjoyed it, Pauline took a photo of me eating or as she said "stuffing my face" and here it is " Not a pretty sight.

Well that is that, a nice lunch and now for a Taxi and home we go, it is nearly 1.30 so we get home, have a quick coffee and then Pauline gathers up my Washing and I phone a taxi to take her home, Gordon has sent a text to say he is now home and gone to his bed so hopefully he can get a decent sleep and take something to help with his virus or upset tummy.

Portsmouth 2.45 pm Today.
Now that Pauline has gone I make another coffee and settle down with the laptop and get this Journal written and catch up on Facebook. The weather is starting to get brighter now as you can see from this picture of Portsmouth Harbour and the Spinnaker tower taken from the Gunwharf webcam at 2.45 pm This afternoon well that is all for today, so until Freaky Friday I will say Tatty Bye.
