Oh well...
They're still working in and around the house so I'm still stuck downstairs during the day and as a result I can't get as many photographs as I'd like.
Many of the plants don't have flowers but those that do are resplendent with vigour and colour... and I can't get to them because of the scaffolding and such. I went to the National Radiotherapy Centre yesterday for my regular doctor visit (one of them, if I must say) and my mammy didn't go with me as someone had to remain home. I met two relatives there and my aunt was pretty down as she is rather not up to it these days. I do hope that she gets better soon.
She is one of those people who actually took care of herself. She ate what she needed, exercised regularly and was very active. When she got sick it was quite a shock and since then she has suffered greatly. My mammy was close to her and they spoke regularly and now she can't stop worrying about her.
When the nurse called her name yesterday they were outside and my father went to get them. I was next so the nurse let me see the doctor, all by myself. When I was finished I came out of the office and I waved to my aunt and uncle and went on my way. My father was just returning and after I got my prescription stamped he took it and went to the dispensary to get my stuff. He had quite a time walking up and down and about the compound and I waited at the side of the car.
While waiting I saw tiny little children in red football uniforms training on the edge of the savannah. I'm thinking now how fabulous I was in primary school but the systems in place back then didn't facilitate for gifted children to do all that they could. They just let me go to one or two academic competitions and they totally ignored my physical prowess. Well, in the end it doesn't even matter.
After the run at the clinic my father drove to Chee Mooke's bakery and he bought some stuff. I was amazed when I saw a large truck with bags of flour stacked on the tray. It was so much and my father said that they actually did use that much! They open at four in the morning and by three in the afternoon all their products are sold out every day! They do have delicious whole wheat bread and other baked goods and they are quite popular because of that.
Well, I have to go out next week too and my mammy said that she will accompany me when I have to see the other doctor.
Also, there is a live action Rurouni Kenshin movie in the works in Japan but I don't expect much. They had a nice game last year for the Playstation 2 but it was a Japanese item. I also heard that they'll revive the manga series. I did like the English versions of releases so far but there is only so much that I can buy, you know?
Anyway, I updated with a little bit:

Hiya!
Well they're still doing the roof right now and the break I took from computing resulted in one of my websites being deleted.
The movie pictures from the four Matrix releases are no longer on-line and so too the Tomb Raider page and Marvel trading cards are also not on the www anymore. I don't know if I should upload them again because they really don't belong to me in the sense that I didn't create them - I just captured them and I placed them up for people to view and use.
My other site featuring Raven from the Teen Titans is still up but the server was flagged for malicious content so I don't advise that anyone visit there. Once there is a plugin for your Internet Security software in your browser you should see the warning if you mistakenly end up there.
The rain and the delay in getting material for the roof kept the workers going for longer than it should have taken. They'll do the ceiling afterwards and then odds and ends here and there. There should be a new fence and gate by the end of the job too.
Since I'm downstairs during the day I haven't been able to take much photographs. My food is packed and I nibble on Crix biscuits when I run out for the day so I don't get many food photos at the moment. I also missed wishing several friends on Facebook birthday greetings but it couldn't be helped. There are bits and pieces all about and although my parents clean after the day's work it's still not possible to go around taking shots with all the equipment blocking my way and many of the flowers no longer flourishing.
I still have an aversion to meat although you might not think so if you view my most recent food photos. I don't like the smell that lingers in my mouth and comes up my throat. Even worse is when the chicken bits get stuck in my teeth. Rinsing and brushing doesn't do a perfect job as it's still in my stomach and I feel poorly later on when it's moving through my system. That being said, I have also been missing out on my fresh vegetables and fruits. I don't eat as many of them as I should. When I'm in this place I end up drinking beverages such as the Malta Carib and the Ginseng-Up. Even so I'm still losing size off my arse, small though as it already is.
Since my last update there have been many happenings and right now I can't remember them all. One thing I do remember is the incompetence of a doctor who didn't do the IV access properly for me and as a result I had to repeat parts of my MRI scan when the contrast didn't go in. The new operators and radiographers at the department were not familiar with me and they did things differently so I was the one (naturally) that paid the price in agony. I really missed Shanti this time; she knows what to do for my case and I wouldn't have suffered so much if she was working there still rather than in the office.
Anyway, my mammy went out and she is bringing me some noodles in a while.
