Grrrrr.. something is amiss! She's in pain.. it started with a twinge and being 'incomfortable' after eating that bread two weeks ago. Now it is 'not so good' ~ which is a typically British understatement of it's sore, really sore.
Walking yesterday seemed to alieve it somewhat and she did a lot of that! She met her new President, Janice, in Balham and they went to the banner printers, the art work was approved and the banner was made yesterday afternoon, ready for pick-up today.
Then she went to see both Anya and Sandra at Morrisons at Streatham. Anya is their Community Champion and Sandra was the wonderful woman at Customer Service who started the ball rolling.
Anya approved the invoice format and said "Come and pick up the cheque on Friday! YIPPEE.. then she went off to find Sandra to give her a veryvery BIG hug! What a lovelylovely sweet woman she is, you know how sometimes, if you're lucky, you meet someone whom you like immediately? Well, Sandra is one of those people. And, oh lordy, how the two of them laughed and giggled about and at something they found mutually amusing!
Then grrr.. she realised she had left her file book on Rotary at the banner makers, so instead of being able to hop on the bus and come home, she had to get back to the Balham Boulevard.. grrrr.. but there it was, luckily, safe and in her hand within a second of Steven seeing her.
But.. what was this? Almost next door was a Polish food shop.. my dears. And what a food shop. It is a tiny shop compared to Bartek but it is stuffed full of the most glorious things with the most delightful staff. Address.. 4. The Boulevard, Balham High Road.
Marta and she became instant friends as they've a common ground, lazy and very naughty digestive systems! Marta showed her this extraordinary bread that she and her brother make on the premises. NO flour, NO yeast.. it is made of grains and pulses and is fab! And they stock her most beloved pure Beetroot juice which Bartek have discontinued but this shop sell it at 70p cheaper!
Their bunches of herbs and root vegetable are kept in a huge bucket of water, everything she tasted was beyond scrummydumptious and much cheaper than her beloved Bartek. So by leaving her filebook behind, she found this great shop which, from the outside, looks like a coffee shop.
She was beginning to wish (desperately) that she had old WW with her, the four kilos of almonds and cashews from Morrisons plus the Polish swag meant her arms were full and it was all heavy stuff.
Never mind, Clapham Junction was two hops away by fast train and then she jumped onto a 49 bus to South Ken. Whilst on the bus she called various shops asking "do you have a toy parrot?", no toy parrots to be found, then she called Animal Fair Pet Shop and they had a wooden boredom breaker, they hang and are for a baby or a bird cage! And the 49 took her all the way there!
Splendid, for it is just the thing she needed and with Cousin Bruce's marvellous posters for the 'GUESS MY NAME & WIN A TOY PARROT' competition on June 12th at St.Bartholemew's Catholic Church, Streatham Common after the three morning Masses, this fundraiser for the Streatham Dementia Supprt Group is off to a flying start! No pun intended.. You can tell the one tablet of Cocodomel has kicked in, can't you!
She woke up in such pain and thinks it is her Diverterticulitis being tricky but has a busy day and cannot go to A&E in the middle of the night for what would happen to me? She'll call her Gastro specialist this morning, do the stuff today, collect the banner and give the toy to someone and leave me at Animal Fair, then go to see him tomorrow.
I know.. I know.. but she hates letting people down and she just needs this one day to get it all together. And now the pain is not so bad, she'll go back to bed and be able to sleep, she has to be in Romford for a treatment with Valerie Ann Worwood at 1.45, this means leaving the house at 11.45 in order to be sure to catch connecting trains etc from Liverpool Street.
But we are a bit sad that we didn't post every day in the month of June, the days have been a bit manic and she's had this grumbling tummy.. but never mind, here we are in her birthday month - it's on the seventh in case you've forgotten, this gives you a bit if time to get your card in the post - and the weather is jurst glorious!
Hot.. veryvery hot and sunny. Lubbly-jubbly weather, we are lucky that our home stays very cool. Can you just imagine how hot it must be playing tennis at Wimbledon! Oi vey.. as I say!
And talking of other things.. the shootings in Tunisia. Words fail us, they don't fail us about what she thinks about this whole mess of immigrants and border control but this is NOT the place for her to put her thought and opinions on these subjects.
However, our condolences and sympathy are with all of the families whose lifes have been dreadfully shattered.
GeeGee Parrot.
