Cars or bored yute have been knocking over the pathetic plastic poles that were put up to bottle up (sorry, segregate and make safe) cyclists from the main carriageway. Bus drivers are as murderous as ever, one swerved late without indicating into a stop, cutting across a woman on a bike, driving her into the kerb and making her fall off. I checked she was OK, and gave the bus driver a rocket. He just told me to censored off and said cyclists deserve everything they get. I took a picture of him and the bus number/reg plate and will report him. He was fcuking fuming that I took his picture, but couldn't get out of his plastic box. 🙂 Not that it'll make any difference.
Oh, and my bike still clicks.

Yes, visiting rules are essentially normal here, even in ICU where he currently is for a couple of days I am still able to go visit. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it must be for those who can’t.thistle_ said:

I pulled over, cried my eyes out and nearly threw up from relief.
Other Half has some serious recovery to do after that, but I still have him. That's all I care about.
What's the score with visiting over there? Are you allowed to be with him?

Ah, it's alright really, sometimes she is just unbearable when she gets a half baked idea in her head. For example - I had the back of the house open yesterday evening, what with it being hot. She made me lower the blinds by approx 30 cm "to stop the flies coming in". I said that they would just fly through the remaining 2 metres or so of unimpeded airspace. But no, I had to lower the blinds by 30 cm, or the temper would have been lost.0

I hate arguing or any confrontation and we rarely do. If I say "are you okay hun?" it can be met with what's actually bothering her or met with derision as it's questioning her state of mind/requests.veronese68 said:

I'd opened the doors. Therefore the flies are my problem, even though I don't gaf about the flies, and also, the flies are still going to come in, wherever the feckin blinds are. However, sentence one means the flies are my problem, and I must therefore apply her solution, or she will become angry. Pointing out that her solution is a load of ballcocks, only exacerbates the anger, and will normally elicit a rant about some time I didn't paint a wall, or fix a bog seat, attach a bog roll holder to a wall, because that didn't bother me either. She makes up stuff that bothers her, to exert control.
My default position is that she's slightly insane. If the slight insanity tips over into batshit craziness, then I haven't managed to quite button my lip.
FWIW, today she has the back doors open as it's humid as fcuk, the blinds are currently approximately 50 cm down, there are 3 or 4 fat flies lazily buzzing around the kitchen. The height of the blinds never really bothered her, it was just her being a pain in the arris and saying the first half formed idea that came into her head.0 -
