I think I really should see Doc G. I’ve being feeling tired and off-colour for days, having to go to bed in the middle of the day to rest for an hour. And I’m fuzzy-headed and forgetting things – I forgot that our Lottery syndicate won £10 last week, and had to be reminded! And […]

What I woke up to this morning.

Didn’t have a good night last night. lay awake for hours quietly worrying over bills and stuff. Then, when I did drift off, I had all kinds of restless dreams. The one I remember was set in Wigan. No, I don’t know why, either. I dream quite a lot about Wigan nowadays. A lot of […]

….I’m back to blogging after a long (for me) absence. I was just too flaming busy. I still am, but I’ve decided I could spend ten minutes updating my blog. So, what’s been happening chez Dobson? We’re a lot nearer to getting the Volvo back on the road. Well, it’s drivable now, but not legal; […]

Well, another birthday over with. For once, I got prezzies that I really wanted – Daughter no2 sent a wireless keyboard & mouse, Caroline sent a digi camera. The above is one of the first of many photos I shall be taking here (this one is the view from my front door this morning). I’ll […]

Castle Douglas is on its way to losing its character along with its small shops, and becoming a clone town. TescoDeconstruct […]

Yesterday, went to the Citizens Advice Bureau to ask them about my appeal for DLA. The nice lady there went through all the papers and medical reports and finally said that I didn’t really have much chance – the medical reports all said I wasn’t ill enough, and her experience of the local Appeal Board […]

….cos I got a reply from the Department of Wobble and Procrastination this morning, just one day after I mentioned wanting to hear from them. They’re going to hear my appeal, and want to know if I still want to continue with it. No date given for the appeal. Please reply within 14 days. My […]

Another whine about my health, so this isn’t going to be interesting. Think I’ll have to get back to good ol’ Doc G and ask him if my medication needs changing. I’m tired all the time, again, my headaches are coming back, I nearly collapsed when I was socked with a really bad palpitation attack […]
