London Trip 2023

Image
Down to London then, staying in an apartment in Hounslow while down here, it's not the Ritz but it's not a dump either. Comfortable sofa, comfortable bed too, few strange point that make 'Sweet Home' quirky, just wish I could park my car closer, will look in to that later! Explored the town part of Hounslow, saw where Sunrise Radio is located, and some fabulous places to eat and buy food and other bits. The Christmas tree in the town lacks something, but it's an Asian / multi cultural area, with various faiths about, so let the local authority off on that one.  Had a good night's sleep, so off to another part of London, it's blue skies outside, but a bit on the chilly side. Here is a video of my short trip to London, also took some footage on a rather empty tube train heading to Baker Street on the Metropolitan line   https://youtu.be/FdpPLYAguqk?si=aRpuFd-vgjCnENC3 via    Question:  cheaper above or bellow ground? Answer: nothing in it really, just be car...

Tuesday 26th April

For the last few nights I have been waking up at about 2am and going back to sleep about half an hour later, not sure why. I seem to be getting around 7 hours sleep a night. Pain wise today, it's at about a 6 out of 10. The Fibromyalgia seems to be playing it cool and not pushing it's self too much so far today, but one thing I have learnt is it can turn just like that.  I try to keep  positive thoughts , which seems to help me manage to some degree, but even then it don't help much. There is always underlying pain every day thanks to the Ankylosing Spondylitis , Osteoporosis and the Carpal Tunel in my hands. Why do I keep a blog? I find it useful for keeping a record of daily struggles of life and my health. Keeping it is also a useful tool to help the DWP  my GP and hospital specialists understand what I am going through.

He will be missed by many. I had the honor to work along side him at Radio Tircoed, and also helped him out a number of times. He had so much energy and was always on the go, I couldn't keep up. He would put many able bodied people to shame with all the charitable work he carried out.

Phil's Video Blog 211 - Dog Sitting https://youtu.be/oaNB25qmxsE Yesterday I went to dog sit a well behaved boy called Nero. I took him for a short walk (for me, when I say walk, for me it's a creaky clicking rickety crawl propped up with my walking stick) Nero was great on the lead, didn't pull one bit, and seemed to sense that it was going to rain, he turned round and walked us back, every few moments looking back at me to see if I was ok!, such a good boy!

Phil's Driving Adventures Episode 1

Image
PHIL'S DRIVING ADVENTURES - Episode 1 In this premiere episode , a trip from just outside my flat in Bonymaen to Morfa Retail Park , its a short car ride, but full of speed bumps. The speed bumps are important to test out my in car phone holder to see if it stays attached to the dashboard, which thank goodness, it does! (thank you 3M for creating your sticky pads!) My car, Peugeot Rifter 1.5 Alure BlueHDi is Ultra Low Emission , thanks to AdBlue technology. How does AdBlue work? - Tiny amounts of AdBlue are injected into the flow of exhaust gases. At high temperatures AdBlue turns to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Inside the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalyst, harmful nitrogen oxide in the exhaust reacts with the ammonia and is transformed to harmless nitrogen and water. Similar technology has been used effectively for years in buses and heavy lorries.
