Fbg 6.9
Temp 35.9
Little sleep last night.
Popeyes abscess has got worse again. Unfortunately yesterday he started scratching it, And caused a wound which is now bleeding.
So more than double the work with bathing this now.
I'm not eating properly, I just can't deal with dealing with this abscess on Popeye. I did cook myself a stir fry last night, but unfortunately I put tomatoes in it and it looked exactly the same color as his messy abscess. Couldn't eat it, my stomach turned, and threw it away...
I am running out of cotton wool pads today with his abscess. I had plenty but not with the amount I'm having to use for cat Popeye.
So, I'm having to use my precious supply of kitchen towels. Also, if you think you have enough cotton wool pads, when you need them you will find you won't have anywhere near enough.
I will not be able to get any more cottonwood pads next week because we have the police stopping people around here to check where they're going etc etc. The shops nearest to me do not stock cottonwood pads, they stock food. But to get the cotton wool pads I need to go further afield, and there is a roadblock one way, and there's a roadblock the other way.
A few weeks ago, it is almost like the police were preparing for something in advance. (Our Welsh police do this strategy anyway, and these 'roadworks' and temporary traffic lights are set up in advance just by where the laybys are, so if you live here, you realise something is brewing). What happened was there were some temporary roadworks and traffic lights one way and temporary roadworks and traffic lights the other way, but I never saw anyone working on the road.
So, this was being set up in advance. The reason probably was because where I live is the gateway to Wales (I live in Wales) and everyone comes through the bottom road as a means of avoiding the traffic jams on the A55 on holiday weekends.
So probably people were hoping to avoid the police so that they could visit their holiday caravans or go to the beaches in Wales. But the beaches are all closed, the car parks around here are closed, everything is shut down.
The police started stopping people on Thursday questioning where they were going. I have not been through the roadblock, I just don't want the stress of this and most likely not being able to tell what the policeman is saying to me with being deaf. If he is wearing a mask then I am completely sunk to understanding what they are saying. I won't be able to lipread them. And I won't be able to follow their instructions.
So this means I will not be able to shop at Morrisons or a couple of other places anymore. It means I am stuck completely to my local shops.
So, this means no more cotton wool pads to treat Popeye's abscess. But I should be able to get kitchen towels. However, if I can't, because I am a hoarder, as you know, I have kept old worn out cotton towels and other worn out cotton t-shirts in the garage. They are hanging in bags from the garage rafters. I will fish some out today and put on a boil wash.
Apparently, the English police in Cheshire are also setting up roadblocks this weekend to stop tourist weekenders coming into Wales.
Take care
Stay safe
Edit: and by the way, I won't be giving emojies out the way I was doing. I was giving out emojies to every post I read, but with my intermittent slow internet connection, this is taking too much time, waiting for the emojies to register. Frustrating. So, I will only sprinkle one or two emojis possibly. I will still be reading through all your posts however.
So, this is just to let you know. And to let you know it is nothing personal if you realise I am not clicking the emojis any more.
we did manage a good walk, we headed out onto the closed golf links
