The Diary Of Onebrokelady Aged 60 And A Half

Onebrokelady

Yay it's the weekend and I'm off 🎉🎉 yesterday at work was ok and I managed to get through the day without too much pain but I'm paying for it today it seems. Both my legs are hurting now which is suspicious so I've taken my painkillers and I'm ignoring it 😀

The big news of the day is that my new neighbour has started to move in. I bumped into her as I was taking B out and she seems really nice so that's hopeful. I was also very lucky when I took B out because it was a lovely sunny morning but it's now chucking it down and I didn't take my brolly. 

I was going to go into town today to pick up my prescription but DD2 messaged me earlier ask if I wanted to meet for a coffee tomorrow so I will do it then instead. Hopefully I will be a bit more mobile tomorrow 🤞🤞

Im just going to potter around at home today instead. I've got a load of washing on so far then just have to sweep the floors and I might read my book.

I also got my monthly message from EDF to send my meter readings so I will do that in a minute or I will forget.

I also forgot to say that I joined a local ladies friendship group on FB the other day and there is a coffee and craft meet up being organised once a fortnight in town so I'm going to go to the next one. My social life is quite limited so I thought I would try and join  something to try and meet new people

Hello 😊

just wanted to say I have read this diary in one go and thoroughly enjoyed it! You have a lovely writing style and you come across as a very cheerful person too.

i have bookmarked it now - please give the lovely B a gentle kiss on the nose xxx

Awwww thank you that's a lovely thing to say. I'm always surprised when people say they have enjoyed my diary. I try to quite cheerful but it doesn't always happen 😀😀

You are cheerful - and very funny.

I think expanding your social circle is a good idea, and if it involves things you like, even better. 

Not good that both of your legs are Protesting though. X

How lovely you’ve joined the local friendship group. I joined a local one back in the pandemic days and we had one meet up which was lovely then it seemed to disappear 🙁

@Muddy_Walker, I was very impressed that you read everything in one go! OBL does draw you in, doesn't she? Did you know this is volume 2?

There’s a volume 1?? Marvellous! Do you have a link please?

Fingers crossed the neighbour is nice, and good idea on the friendship group.

Really 😂I'm known as a straight talking grumpy person in real life but with a sense of humour too . I tend to say what I think then afterwards I'm always thinking " hmmmm I'm not sure I should have said that " I do like having a laugh though 😀

I'm looking forward to giving it a go and luckily I'm ok going to things on my own too. I'm so peed off with my body at the moment. I've made an effort to eat quite healthy food over the last couple of weeks and had started walking again but it's not helping.....perhaps it's in shock 😀

That's the trouble isn't it with these things if people don't use them them they disappear. I joined a meet up  group for people with chronic illness years ago and it only lasted a few months before people stopped going. It was a bit illness focused though and would have been better if it had been a group of people meeting for coffee and a chat but it rapidly turned into a competition over who had the most problems so I think people just got fed up with it. This is just a general meet up that looks like it's been going for a few months now so hopefully it will still be going when I can actually go
