Two tins of sardines.

That's all it took to induce rage in Steve!

We placed our Tesco order this morning as we do every week. If it was up to me, I'd walk up to Aldi/Lidl at the top of the road! But then I don't buy six trays of Fosters lager every week.

I like to purchase different items occasionally, this confuses Steve. He has a very restrictive diet so buys the same things every week. He feels this is the correct way to shop, not choosing random items that catch my eye as I shop. Last time I shopped with Betty I bought a large mango and a punnet of raspberries. Both were eaten and greatly enjoyed, Steve doesn't approve. Today I've ordered two tins of sardines, they will be eaten mashed on toast or in a salad bowl.

I think Steve is always on the verge of rage, as soon as he's awake he reads the news online and instantly becomes enraged. My answer would be to not read the news, most of it doesn't affect Steve, especially the news from America, and if it does affect him/us, here is bugger all we can do about it.

All we can do is plod on, I keep a stock of basic food in along with batteries and other useful items, I can do no more and worrying won't help.

It sounds as though it's the rage that is powering is day. It makes it so hard for you though, enjoy your sardines. xx

Steve needs a trip to the A&E for a scan of his brain. Something is not right with that man. You and Beano are amazing. Take care!

I'm sorry you have to live with that rage. It must be so hard for you and I'm glad you treat yourself when you can. You deserve it.

This one here behaves very similar - He has worsened over the last months - He has a strange look too - Anger seems to help him get through his day - There is no reasoning with him - I avoid him - Eventually I will need to call for assistance I am certain - I think he does understand this - It is exhausting but I do enjoy my day - Happy days xx

I know it's very difficult for you to live with him like this, but I bet it's not very nice for him either. I wonder if the doctor could give him a mild tranquilizer to calm him down a little.

It is a very long time since I have had sardines on toast. Thank you for reminding me about how good they are. I’m very glad for you that you have Betty around. We all need a friend and confident that we can chat to xx

BBQ in the garden.

Steve's in the garden, manning the BBQ, I did go over but the only seats left were in  the sun and it's 30 degrees. It's far too...
