FREE TWO JABS MAYBE

 SUNDAY - We was suppose to go to my daughters house for sinday dinner .She is full of cold so we have decided not to go just to be on the safe side .

MONDAY - Took the medium size wall unit down and replaced it at the side of the boiler which had a small unit at the side of it the medium unit will house all the glasses and coffee/tea cups .The only issues was a electrical box for the extractor fan I manage to cut round it ,the wall where the medium unit was is now going to be a place for some shelves so we can place storage jars for herbs and other ingredients .

Went to Ikea bought the shelves and the glass containers for the food stuff and herbs Helen bought quite a few jars as well as other items that where impulse buys.

TUESDAY - Out the shelves up three in total it only took a few hours I repainted the wall white after I had drilled the holes for the screws to secure the brackets for the shelving .Went back to Ikea picked up the shelves for the smaller storage jars and fixed these below the larger three shelves .

WEDNESDAY - Went to Asda bought some things we needs to fill the rest of the storage jars it didn't cost a lot we needed more dried pasta , rice and coffee beans ,

Back at work tomorrow five days off have flown bye. The small wall unit I unscrewed and I cut up the bigger pieces to make added  shelves to the medium storage unit we now have three shelves instead of just one that was placed in the middle .

Helen and me have our flu injections booked for November I have also received  a reminder to book my covid booster vaccination I think it is going to be mandatory for NHS workers which I am . The thing is I don't like being told I have to have it which is pissing me off it should be freedom of choice ordered to have it is rubbing me up the wrong way .

BDAY

 We habe both been following the Gabby Petitio and Brain Laundrie saga from day one. We watch Wbla live on Facebook every day for updates and any new leads .The latest is that human remains have been found and a note book and back pack that belong to BL  . If it is him I hope there is some explanation in his note book of why I also hope he died a painful drawn out death .

THURSDAY - Two days at work then five days off when I go back it will be a hurt week two days then two days off I have days of in November , December and January yo look forward to plus a full week off in March 2022.

My birthday is in a few days no big celebrations we are going to my daughters hose on Sunday for a Sunday lunch other than that no big plans , not sure if my son will bother I usually get a text message the day after wishing me happy birthday if I am lucky .

I get paid next week might treat myself not sure to what might have a big take away and a few ciders not sure what I really need a new Mac book would ne great in my wildest dreams .

FRIDAY  - Helen bought me a new walking jacket and two T-shirts from Mountain Warehouse and some fingerless gloves for walking Bailey who also got a new coat .

We aslo stopped at the Red Lion Pub for beer battered fish sandwich freshly cooked to order needless to say it hit the spot we sat out in the beer garden the sun was out and it had stopped raining .

SATURDAY - Happy birthday to me and a very happy birthday to my twin sister Anne .Took Bailey out on his morning walk we both had our new coats on .

We went over to see my son Guy he dint know we was coming we have not been before we went totally unannounced .He is living in a static home it is of a similar size but as it is  its nowhere near in the class of the one we had but its his home and over the next few weeks or months he can transform it put his own stamp on it , but that is up to him .

HOLDING HANDS

 Helen ordered a hand casting kit so she can take a cast of her parents holding hands she aslo bought two memories books one for her father and one fo the mother I hope they fill them I well for her , we are going over Sunday to make the cast and give them the books a bit morbid but also good .

SATURDAY -Went to Home Bargins Helen bought some lights for the garden 1000 lights on a 350 metre wire .

SUNDAY -Casting time mixed the alginate  you have sixteenths seconds to mix and around sixty seconds to get you hand sin and for it to set its a bit longer if you use colder water .We used a food mixer and bowl to mix the alginate its pink once its mixed with water 2700 ml to be precise once it sets its a grey white colour and you can free your hands from the mould its made .

The mixing went fine they couldn't decide how to hold hands even though we had a practice run eventually they agreed and got their hands into the mixture it set they removed their hands one at time .We mixed the stone powder with 700ml of cold water and poured it in to the mould doing 25% at a time rotating the bucket and then tapping the side to get rid of any air bubbles .Forty minutes setting time then you can remove the mould the hands turn out pretty good seeing it was the first time we had done anything like this it was ok .

Helen has ordered another two casting kits she only meant to order one but she was doing it off her phone and the connection dropped she did it again and accidentally purchased two oh well .

WHEN WE PASS

 I  have been watching a lot of vlogs on You Tube recently about Korean way of life peoples apartments what the cook , buy , eat and all other stuff they do in their daily life its fascinating to watch I don't know why I am so engrossed but they are very relaxing to watch .The ones I watch all seem to be extremely house proud and tidy are all relatively good cooks and chefs , a`lot live in apartments have great sunsets own I-pods and Apple watches sleep on the floor on toppers and mattresses and quite a few have robotic vacuums .

MONDAY - Work never want to go on Mondays the week seems too long too many days to go before the weekend .

THURSDAY - Helen ordered a kit so she can cast her parents hands of them holding each others hands , she bought the same kit that my daughter used to do her mothers hands before she died .I think we are driving over Saturday so we can do the cast you only get one go at getting it right .She is also going to order them a memory book she they can fill it with their likes their life from the past so she will never have to wonder what they did it will be all written down for her to keep .

Her parents both told us that when they die or passover no matter who goes first that this is what they want to happen. They told us that  they are paying Money uprfont  to a company that will collect their body from where you die be it home or hospital and they will take it away cremate the body and return the ashes in a  urn back to the surviving partner . No one gets  to view  the body and there is no service to attend no gathering of relatives of friends its  a simple no fuss affair  , no coffin . or flowers wreathes , pall bearers vicar or priest no ringing of bells , so no cost for a religious service  and no need for funeral cars , or a venue or church etc etc , at a cost of on off payment that is £1600 that's al you pay no matter how many years you live its done no inflation cost no added charges or fees when you pass that's it done and dusted .The cost to bury both of them you are looking at best part of £5000 each at todays prices .

Still following the man hunt fo rBrain Laundrie cant believe that both the Police and the F.B.I seem to be failing yet Dog the bounty hunter seems to be getting more leads ,hopefully they are only days away from finding him .

THURSDAY  - Cant believe its October the year as flown by its another birthday one year older .I look back on the years gone and am happy I was born when I was everyting seemed better apart from the fashion and technology. Mars bars tasted better they where totally different than todays mars bar .

Anyway we have halloween to look forward to , bonfire night and of course Christmas 2021 which is on the weekend and I break up on the 22nd which will be nice it means also the following Monday and Tuesday are bank holidays which means a better rate of pay .

Will be getting a reminder about my covid booster injection any time soon and the flu jab got to keep safe as we can .

well one more shift than I have five days off got to admit all that   I work for is the money and time off and hopefully a pension pot I can cash I as soon as its feasible which after the £1500 paid in this month should make it one month nearer every penny helps .
