Friday 1st June
Popped into the library to get an extension on the superb Derren Brown book
before visiting Sally and was pleased to leave with positive vibes and was also pleased
that my Mum was so concerned for Sally's welfare, when she phoned me later.

Saturday 2nd June
Visited Sally in the afternoon and was pleased to help her drink a bit... and eat something
before phoning Jill, Sally's Sister, with my optimistic observations
and pondered away the rest of the evening.

Sunday 3rd June
Forgot that the buses run infrequently
but was pleased that sally was able to walk to the communal area to see me,
rather than me visiting her room as I metronome her recovery,
and, as I watched a bus go by as I left the Hospital,
I knew that I had to attempt the walk home, rather than wait a full hour,
and it was half way home, when I paused to ponder over a Marlboro, when, perchance,
Hugh B pulled up alongside and kindly provided me with a welcome lift home
and I mulled as I chatted on the phone later with Cousin Pete
before examining my realizations of the moment.

Monday 4th June
Went to see Sally, before my Zap at the same hospital,
but couldn't get to see Sally before Gavin, Pete and Cat arrived here in the afternoon
and I was pleased to share a Birthday pint with Sally's Son, Gavin, in the Pied Bull later
and pondered deep stuff through the evening
before re-watching all 18 episodes of Derren Brown's Trick of the Mind.

Tuesday 5th June
Woke earlier than I expected and phoned to hear
if I could see Sally but I wasn't allowed due to sally's sad condition
before Dionne kindly popped in later and ensured that I had enough Marlboro for a couple of days.

Wednesday 6th June
Sarah popped in with kind Daughter thoughts, and a couple of bags of providence,
as I phoned to to check stuff, and again Catch 22 deprived me,
I know that there are 'H&S \ Human Rights' rules trying to protect their Clients
against possible past transgressions and they must get their Clients consent
but if the client won't communicate with them... shuts down, apart from blowing me a kiss,
last visit.... how do I get near enough to get Sally to smile?
Aware that I've been badly let down by the State, DWP, I resolved to focus on getting me
out of my mess... using Me to create something that would be there for when Sally returns next door, when I will feel ready to say "I'm a confident and ethical Hypno- therapist".

Thursday 7th June
Sally's Sister, Jill, popped in, to get the key for next door,
and, despite stuff, I went with the flow
but was deprived of seeing Sally in the evening as she and the other Sister visited.

Friday 8th June
Went for a Zap but was unable to visit while I was at the Hospital
and was pleased to pop into see Chris M after my lonely bus-ride home
but was able to pop into the Pied Bull later, thanks to Chris,
and was pleased that other locals wanted to express their awareness
that Sally was missed.

Saturday 9th June
Got stuck into sorting the boxes in the bedroom.

Sunday 10th June
Happy at how my bedroom is developing.

Monday 11th June
Steve M popped in in the evening and I was really pleased to have a good esoteric discussion.

Tuesday 12th June
Hit the Haelen Tape for the arm.

Wednesday 13th June
Another Zap day but needed to sleep on returning home.

Thursday 14th June
Obviously pleased with the improvement of the Psoriasis mass but still hurting from the arm.

Friday 15th June
Tried getting sense from the Solicitors but ended up contemplating my skin.

Saturday 16th June
Treated the skin and the arms
before popping in for a coffee with Dionne and her Son
on the way to experience collecting contributions
and for an hour I stood quietly in bright green tabard
promoting the Samaritans, and was humbled by the experience,
and found it strange how quickly I became part of the walls
as I experienced people passing differently.

Sunday 17th June
The arm bothered me but I was pleased when Sarah popped in for Father's Day
and, after my daily phone call to the hospital (Sally had enjoyed an éclair after eating),
we enjoyed chatting through till Morn' when I walked her home.

Monday 18th June
Tried to get some sense out of my Ex-Solicitors.

Tuesday 19th June
Sally's Sisters popped in and I had to mention one sister reason for Sally's sadness
before Dionne popped in after her Yoga lesson and kindly left some rolling tobacco behind
as I pondered on my Samaritan thoughts.

Wednesday 20th June
Got some sense out of the Solicitors, someone who had my file, eventually
before Tracy picked me up to take me for a Zap, 11 mins now,
and her Scotch Egg and Marlboro afterwards was worth the last 4ish days of distress
as I settled down in Caftan and watched the 'Bird in an Air pump' again on BBC2,
knowing that I've got a recording... but I enjoyed the sharing of Time & Space.

Thursday 21st June
A lethargy day.

Friday 22nd June
Went to Ellesmere Port and got stuff sorted at the inept Solicitors
and was pleased that there was some interest on the withholding of funds
which I hastily banked and was equally pleased when I received a positive response
to my daily phone calls, as to Sally's well being,
but saddened later when Sarah confirmed that her relationship was over
and I pondered stuff again after such a Karma day.

Saturday 23rd June
I was so pleased to visit with Sally, both looking so well when I saw her,
and overjoyed that the treatments were working so well... and I was happy
when Tony A arrived in the evening as we enjoyed a pint in the Pied Bull later to compare notes.

Sunday 24th June
Ian M surprised me we with an early midday visit and we retired for an afternoon pint in the 'Bull
and I wondered... as a face passed the pub's window, and was pleased,
when I popped out to find that Scotty had visited my empty home
and more so when he joined Ian M and I for an afternoon drink
but was conscious of the smell of tobacco and alcohol when I visited Sally later
but got away with it, knowing how pleased we were at her speedy recovery.

Monday 25th June
Went for my Zap, over 12 minutes now, before calling on Sally's improvement,
and was pleased to escort Sally to the local supermarket, despite the torrential rain,
and, after buying a driza-bone raincoat from Lee's workplace later,
I was happy to sup beer through an evening talk in the 'Bull with Lee later
as we accepted that my Daughter was evaluating Life and moving on.

Tuesday 26th June
Had difficulty rising, as the heat treatment's Lethargy kicked in,
but was focused sufficiently later to enjoy sharing a coffee with Sally,
despite the hospital machine going wrong,
before Paranormal John popping in later, to bring his faulty PC,
and I enjoyed the focus of sorting his problem.

Wednesday 27th June
Took the data that the DWP had asked for, before visiting Sally,
and was so pleased when I was allowed to escort her out of the hospital grounds
as she enjoyed an orange juice in the Edgerton as we consolidated her improvement
but on our return... the sisters arrived and I left, unable to cope with their false guilt
and I was pleased to share a pint with Paranormal John, and Elsie, later, when he picked up his PC
and I returned to the Pied Bull later to contemplate alone but was pleased by Roy's concern for Sally and a stranger's chat, Ken, after a smokers chat about common experiences of travelling the World.

Thursday 28th June
After visiting the hospital for a zap and time with Sally, I took the bus to Ellesmere Port
and revisited my post-Sylvia friends in the Woody and,
as well as a couple of lovely hugs, I enjoyed good friendship banter again.

Friday 29th June
Shared a couple of hours with Sally as we wandered around Chester.

Saturday 30th June
Spent time with Sally before a last token 'Marlboro' smoke in public, later in the Pied Bull.
