5690th post on this site

well I awoke for bathroom

as it's better than wetting the bed

but once I awaken Tinnitus is waiting to mug me

so finally I get up and annoy you all

Totoro does scratch outside my bedroom door

all the landing carpet in ruined after 7 years of her scratching

but if you have a pet you have to love them

like children

love them, TALK to them

I see far too many people looking at phones

instead of talking to their kids

i asked my kids did I talk to them much

you never stopped was the answer

So I've let the cat out and had a hot drink

now i'm talking to you

hopefully i'll get so exhausted I can go back to bed

and sleep though my hyperactive Tinnitus

a RUBIC cube day

never a straight up and down day

some days I lose a day as the Tinnitus is so bad

or my arthritis is being a rotter

I never use the word rotter I just thought I'd throw it in

to see if you are paying attention

was it the Billy Bunter books that uses ROTTER

do research, I must have read the books 55 years ago

I just went to he kitchen for another hot tea

I shook my keys to get the cat to come in

suddenly she's jumped the 6 feet high fence

I'm sure she trains with the Marines

opening the back door gave me a blast of cold air

so my Tinnitus is peaking again

or it may be my left shoulder arthritis

so now you know

I'm a weather vane of pain

yes it's boring, I wish i never talked about it

like Donald Trump, the elephant in the room

but hopefully DT will fall soon

then the ignorance of JD Vance will begin

I think Rubio will end up being President before 28

But I'm boring you with that stuff too

IDEA

look out window wherever you are

what do you see

if you looked away after 60 seconds

would you remember accurately

you can play that game  with your kids

and train their memories

DITTO

pick 5 items from your desk

can you speak for 60 seconds about each item

rest and pause between items

then 5 more items

cin you speak for 120 seconds about each item

repeat increasing speaking time

do this as a game with your kids too

eventually the challenge is to speak for 15 minutes

treat this as a game

this will help your kids

I leant this in 1998 on a course

then I went to the Czech republic

and spoke for 90 mins in an English language class

where I met a professional model with a metre of blonde hair

but that's another story

so presenting skills are useful

and because I did that, and later worked in a hotel

for 3 years I knew I could teach

And as an Esol teacher I was officially Excellent, Excellent and Exemplary 

so put that in your pipe and smoke it

and I'll repeat myself that and my 3,000,000 words

means I be a great Word Shepherd for AI, Gemini or Meta Ai

SO

I hope today's thoughts are of use to you all

and easy games to help your kids brains grow

If you went on a training course they would charge you 1000 pounds each

so as you have saved a few quid

feel free to buy a few books

and then I'd move house and not live on such a steep hill

which is killing me

NOW

I may put in my food order before I go to bed

I cannot carry anything really

the hernia thorough bypass scar puts paid to that

I eat a ton of fruit and fart as much

apples, bananas, grapes, orange 

the idea is to keep dialysis at bay

just as my meds slow my heart right down

so the pressure in side of me protects my kidneys

Im stage 4 CKD now, bouncing around on 20 GFR something

a healthy person might have 80 or higher

So when I say, say a prayer for my health I really mean it

I"m sitting in the dark next to the Christmas tree

I'll put my shopping order in and then go to bed

I'll probably sneak in a Rosary before I try and sleep

NO

i'm far from holy, but it's part of me

I am a Gorilla a with a Rosary

and yes HK thank you so much for reading me so much

just tell all the relatives on the mainland

including my own Shanghai family
