November 2023

01 November. It’s nearing 5pm UK time and I’ve been at the pc solid since around 8 am. I feel I’ve did really well,  I gained all the files for October and I’ve edited them and sorted a promo and they’re now all in the Files To Post folder, there’s quite a lot! I still need to use my phone for this comment, too sore to type. A broken collar bone and into the second week, I’ve got a 4 week sick note though I’ll need one more week cause I see the consultant in 5 weeks and he has stressed the less I do the quicker I’ll be back in action. It’s good being away from the day job, giving me time to hopefully sort this site out. I did an edit for another campaign folder earlier, I need to focus on getting them all up and running. If there’s anybody out there who feels they can help me in my efforts, email me tommy@docterr.com. If there’s anybody out there that can part with some cash to help me promote this place, to gloss the site up…oh I could go on, please help. 02 November. It’s 10am and I’ve been working on the campaign files, progressed quite a bit. I don’t have my arm in a sling this morning. The consultant said I had to remove the sling now and again and move the arm a bit; listening and feeling the clicks of bone, strange. I’ve a lot of campaigns to sort out. I’m going to post one just now. 03 November. It’s 10.20am UK time and I’ve did a couple of posts and I’ve sorted out the Threat of China campaign folder which has six files. I’m meeting up with my sister in the city this afternoon, not seen her in ages, really looking forward to that; my partner will be supporting me and she’ll be making sure I’m okay. As each day passes I’m feeling better, the collar bone is definitely healing. I really do need to work out my future with the day job though. I love supporting the guys, but it has been brilliant not having any pressure due to plenty of time to work on the site. My collar bone will heal and is healing, but my knees, it’s wear and tear, and they ain’t going to get any better. I fell down the close stairs cause my knee gave way, I’m up and down close stairs all the time on the day job. Can’t afford a repetition, I’m no spring chicken.       04 November. It’s nearly 6am and I’ve been at the pc since around 3.30am, can’t sleep. I did a couple of posts, and I’ve sorted out the campaign folder The Climate Change Fear Game. Met up with my sister yesterday,  brilliant seeing her, don’t see her enough cause life goes too fast. My son is picking us up later, and we’re seeing our granddaughter. I have not seen her for some weeks and got a video clip yesterday morning, and God is she growing. 06 November. It’s 10am UK time,  I’ve done a couple of posts, and I’ve sorted six files in the Threat of Woke campaign folder. The email app on my phone isn’t very good, I need to sort that. We met up with my daughter yesterday, brilliant to see her. She bought a new build house last month and she has it pretty well organised.  She’s asked us through next Saturday to see it and have a spot of lunch. We’d be getting public transport and we’d need to go into Glasgow city to get the bus. The hate brigade will probably be out screaming their antisemitism, that’ll turn my stomach, we’ll see. 07 November. It’s near 12 pm, and I was listening to the first King’s Speech in the Lords in what 70 odd years,  I’ve recorded it and shall post shortly. Anything patriotic I get a lump in my throat, so proud being a Scot and being British. I’ve done a post and I’ve been working on gaining November files, want them out the road, but I’ve still got 26 October files to post. That means I’m getting space over the next few days to looking at the mechanics of this place and working out the best way to promote that we exist. 08 November.  It’s 5pm UK time, and I’ve done a couple of posts. I’ve sorted out another campaign folder, and I’ll post one of they six later on. I’ve given transmission notes to the 20 odd November files. Had a couple of whiskies over the past couple of hours, been chilling out listening to the news, that’s not chilling out, but there we are. Really angry/frustrated at the antisemitism, what kind of country are we living in. More important,  what kind of leaders do we have in the UK? 09 December. I’ve been working on campaign files this morning and sorted the six Women’s Rights campaign. I’m actually totally demotivated today, I keep pushing myself, and I so passionately believe in what I’m trying to do, but perhaps I’m not used to being at the pc every day. The contradiction is that that is what I’m desperate to do cause I’m finding the time to do what I need and want to do. But with the broken collar bone thing, it’s still restricting me although I was actually able to gain a puff from a cigarette with my left hand for the first time. Big improvement,  I’ve been used to bending down to sort a roll up without spilling too much tobacco, managing a lot better now lol.            10 November. It’s after 7pm and I was at the physio this afternoon.  Not happy, infact really pissed off. Looks like I’ll need at least another 3 weeks after seeing the consultant. I’ve not done much on the site today, I need to rectify that tomorrow.                        12 November. Yesterday was Armistice Day, I watched the occasion on the TV, and I got very proud. Yesterday was also my birthday. Didn’t have any plans but it turned out we had to drop everything as my partner’s Mum was taken to hospital. Turns out it wasn’t as bad as feared but neither of us driving and getting to and from the hospital, it’s time-consuming. Today hoping to go to the local cenotaph and pay my respects. In Glasgow going to the hospital yesterday, the city was mobbed, maybe Christmas shoppers, but what struck me was there weren’t many people wearing a poppie. Really sad, changing times and certainly not for the better. 13 November. I had the task of phoning my boss regards the day job and I explained I’ve to take things easy till I see the fracture consultant at the beginning of next month and I see the physio a couple of days later. I apologised about the delay it’s taking to get back, I feel I’m letting the team down, but she was so damn supportive, brilliant. And so how about this place? I did an edit of 12 of the 24 November files in the pending folder yesterday, need to get them all sorted. Need to sort another campaign folder, that’s short-term for today, but long-term I need to polish this place, ensure it’s working as it should, and most importantly I need to try and gain financial support to do the so many things I need to do. 16 November. I’ve been working on November files, and I have a lot ready to post and a lot more needing to be sorted out. That was my task for today, but my partner’s Mother passed away last night or during the night. She stayed overnight at her Mum’s and I’m on a train just now to support her. I had plans later this afternoon to meet up with a good friend, I’ve had to cancel that. Need to see him and air my feelings regards what my options are regards the day job, I’ll rearrange it. Oh well, such is life. 17 November. I’m returning from the health centre, got an abnormal aortic aneurysm scan, you get it when you’re 65, all okay. Our NHS can be brilliant. Did a couple of posts, now onto the November files. I have perhaps 24 in the Files To Post folder and there’s 44 needing an edit. I foldered them this morning and I’ve gave most a transmission note. My partner is home just chilling out. I have so much to do with this place but I’m getting bogged down with news files as well I guess with my life. 18 November. I’ve had a busy day, there were 44 files for sorting. I foldered them and then gave each a transmission note. I then scribbled down the chronological order then I was able to archived files, placed 4 in the folder.  I then gave the remaining 40 files their proper file number. Very time consuming but the 40 are now ready for an edit. There were two campaign folders left to sort,  they’re now ready to post. It’s absolutely nuts how long it’s taking me to prepare files for posting. I need to research for more indepth files. Most important,  the thing I’m running away from, I need to sort this place and to do that, I need help! I did a file transfer from my phone to pc and it’s massive! All they files and all the other files need categorised! Crazy man. And last but not least I need to work out messaging to try and gain finance, need to move things forward. 19 November. It’s just after 4.30pm in the UK, my partner left for her work, say an hour and a half ago, I’ve posted three files there. Not done anything else today, been supporting her in her grief. Don’t laugh but we’ve been watching episode after episode of Death In Paradise. It’s a show you can relax into, not heavy duty thinking, but great stories that distract you from your life. She’ll be back shortly, I’ve sorted dinner and then more of the same lol. All she’s doing is sorting the sounds for the act that’s on tonight, I’m sure I’ve mentioned she works in a pub. There are so many tasks I need to do. One is going through my archive files, I want to put three or four of Neil Oliver’s monologues on GB News back to the start. The man is a genius, he says it how things really are. I’ll be calling it The Neil Oliver Collection. But when I’ll manage to do that, och whenever. I bloody need help, anybody reading this that feels they can, please email me.                       20 November. It’s left 10.30am and I’m supporting my partner today. We’re at her Mother’s and we’re waiting for the guys to come and pick up the oxygen cylinders. It’s her Mum’s birthday today, she passed away last week. She’s doing the hoovering and such, I can’t really help much. We have a miniature of whisky and vodka and we’ll toast her later.              22 November. It’s 11.30am and I’m on my way to meet up with a good friend from the day job, worked together for over twenty years. Need to bounce off him my options regards the day job. My collar bone feels like it’s healing well, but it’s my knees, told it’s wear and tare, but the right one gives way now and then, that’s how I fell down the stairs. I see the fracture consultant at the beginning of next month and the physio a couple of days later, I’ll get their advice. I’m a year away from my pension. I’m not sure what my options are, and more importantly, what to decide. 25 November. This is the first time I’m using the pc keyboard to make a comment, I’ve been using my phone since breaking my collarbone. I see the formatting is a bit out, I’m just going to leave it, it can be read. Today is my daughter’s birthday, she’s in her mid twenties so she ain’t getting a toy! She’s not long moved into her new house, I’ve not had a chance to visit yet, hopefully soon, I shall be thinking of her today. I sent a card, hope she gets it today, and I sent a text. Yesterday I was working on the scheduled tweets and I’ve extended their life into March of next year, well I’ve still a lot to do on completing that task, was working on it this morning. I gained 23 files from the box yesterday and I’ve archived three and foldered and sorted the remaining 20 and they’re now in the pending folder, ready for editing. My partner is going to the Mum’s house with her family tomorrow to meet the minister and sort out what to say on Tuesday and then on Monday she’s visiting her Mum with her family, she says she’ll be alright, she’s got her family there. A difficult time. I need to sort out my head and work out what I am doing with the day job, I’d seriously love to work on this place full-time, but it can’t be afforded. My concern is going up and down stairs, my knee gave way when climbing my stairs and I fell down them, that’s how I broke my collarbone, I can’t have a repetition. My day job entails a lot of walking and going up and down one hell of a lot of stairs during the shift, I need to give a lot of thought. 27 November. It’s nearing 1pm UK time and my partner is away to view her Mum at the parlour, not sure what kind of state she’ll be in. I wanted to go with her as support but she’s meeting up with her family and she prefers doing it the way she’s doing it. Yesterday I was working on looking through my external drives for files on Neil Oliver. I’ve been working on it for a few days and it’s taking me ages, I want to do a Neil Oliver Collection, they’ve all been posted, but I want to put a few of them together as one post. I’m really disappointed and frustrated at not having the first few, I’m always a few weeks off the ball. The guy can either read the mind or he has his finger so well on the pulse of the people. The man has had me fighting the tears on too many an occasion because he says it so well. It’s taking me so long because I have to watch them again! Not very professional but he’s a reminder. He talks the truth that I as one have to hide or I’d be out of a job. 28 November. It’s 7.30am, I’ve did a post, not got much time to do much else. It’s my partner’s mother’s cremation today and so I’ll be spending time supporting her today. Did well yesterday in that I did an edit and gained two images for the twenty files in the pending folder, all they need is a promo. I’ve still got a few November files so there isn’t a rush. I’ve taken the scheduled tweets forward so I don’t need to work on them today, that however shall be needed by tomorrow morning.
