...I gnashed my teeth for a while but I did sleep, and it's all due to my saviour, kung fu. There is a pattern: I do kung fu: I sleep better. I sleep! So, it looks as though I am going to have to become a kung fu kid and practice it every day. I do try to, but don't always make the time. I love it though, which helps.
However, I've lost faith in my sleep therapist, who postponed my appointment this week as she had a hospital appointment. As my friend, J, pointed out, she should have cancelled her own appointment if she was any kind of professional. And, I am peeved – dismayed – that she said that I've been sleeping well. It makes me wonder whether she is in fact looking at the right person's sleep diaries! If that's 'sleeping well', well, I'm a giraffe wearing clogs.
Yesterday evening's thunderstorms were quite something. The rain was torrential. It was gorgeous (obviously, this sentiment would not be shared by the poor flooded folk up north).
Glad you slept, Mell D, shame you losing faith in sleep therapist though . . .
ReplyDeleteThunderstorms are gorgeous, aren't they?
But I just wish there could be a few sunny days in between . . .
Do you trust Ziggy? - sorry had to slip that in!

Thanks, NMJ. It is a merciful relief when I have slept for a bit. I wish it was the case everyday. Hmm, yes, the therapist. She last saw me in May (the start of the sleep programme) and I will next see her, if I can get the time off work, during the programme's last days! Hardly support when it costs so much.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, I do love a good thunderstorm. They are wonderful creations. There was a rainbow out during yesterday's evening storm. Stunning against a dark sky.
I'm going off Ziggy. He is so patronising and I think he's playing what he thinks is the Perfect Man. But the way he has spoken to Chanelle has disturbed me a bit. A man with a plan, I fear.
And how fast does Charley talk?! Verbal diarrhoea! (or however you spell it!)

Oh, and yes, am with you on the sunshine thing. This summer is crazy. I have a feeing, however, that we are in for a lovely autumn... Oh, I love autumn... (Not wishing life away or anything, but it is splendid...)

I love autumn too, my favourite season.
ReplyDeleteI've missed some of the Chanelle/Ziggy stuff so am not sure what's going on there - he is def feeling suffocated though.
Have really gone off Laura - I never really trusted her, all that salt of the earth cheery chappie stuff . . .
I like Tracey a lot more, I loved her reaction to the GREED task, she does have integrity, though I hated how BB tried to buy her with their tacky baubles.
And I like Brian.
Sleep well.

Morning, NMJ, what's the weather like today? It's hazy here – might turn into rain or sunshine, who knows?
ReplyDeleteAs for BB, I have also gone off Laura and i really like Brian – he's like a mad labrador of a man. Ziggy is feeling 'bunny-boiled' by Chanelle but then, he does assume a patronising, almost patriarchal stance with her that would drive most women mad. I cringed when she was telling him not to smoke, though, poor chap.
Autumn's so gorgeous... all that colour, those leaves, the shiny conkers, breath you can see in the air of a crisp morning. Bliss.

Dull up here today, but NO bloody rain! Hurrah! Maybe the ground can start to dry off now.
ReplyDeleteI think Ziggy's tone with Chanelle is a lot to do with her age (and limited intelligence, though she's not that dumb)- he is realising now that she is just too young for him and is trying to exit . . . I recall a few weeks ago her saying Oh, won't it be great when we are out and holding hands and shopping, we'll be just like Posh and Becks - Ziggy must've died inside at that point... I think he has been mainly honourable & fair, but perhaps he is quite cold too.
Hope those bunnies of yours stop 'boiling' each other!

Same weather here, NMJ. It's muggy/dull. Gah. I prefer rain, TBH.
ReplyDeleteAgree with your Ziggy theory – Chanelle is sooo young, and even he said yesterday that he couldn't believe a 19-yr-old was telling him what to do. I didn't hear Chanelle say that about them being – ahem – like Posh and Becks cringe... Oh dear.
My bunnies are a worry. May have to think about whether we can keep both. It's a bit traumatic but oh, if you see M, she's covered in bites. Horrid. I think it might actually be cruel to force them together again.
