17.11.2024 Bloodbath!

 ~o~

  Sunday 17th bright but cloudy. Squally showers and gales possible. 40F/4.4C.

 Bad nose bleed on blood thinners. I have saturated five tissues and lots of cotton wool but it is still pouring from my nose and down my throat. Typing with one hand while I pinch my nose. Still bleeding after 5 minutes of pinching. Try another 5 mins. And another. And another. Still running slightly but it has finally stopped pouring. Can I ride my bike while pinching my nose? Can I drive?

 9.00 First sunshine and the wind is picking up. I'll sit still, pinch some more and hope my nose behaves itself.

9.45 Nose still bleeding. Sunday, so no doctor or pharmacy. I'll go on pinching while passively watching YT videos.

 12.40 It was quite a sunny morning. With none of the promised rain. It clouded over about half an hour ago but there has been no sign of the squally showers. Only now has my nose become reliable. The wastepaper bin would look more at home in a battlefield hospital! It is half full of bloodied tissues. 

 The room is at 65F/18C. I am just beginning to feel a bit chilly. It doesn't look like I shall safely manage an outing today. So I had better light the stove.

 Dinner was organic sausages with mushrooms, organic Fettuccine pasta and organic tinned tomatoes. 😋 I ate an organic apple for pudding.
