Under House Arrest day 650

Monday.

Kev went into work extra. So it meant a day on my own with Willow. I got up around 8. I'd been awake since Kev had been up, but I was determined to stay resting as long as I could. When I got up I did my biking. Then both Willow and I had breakfast, after a bit of fuss she settled down in her bed. She can usually sense when you aren't going out anywhere and chills out. I had a couple of phone calls to make to the council about my bus pass and one to the doctors to sort out diabetic appointments. 

Once that was done I went to my desk to colour in the stamped images from the new Alice inspired stamps by Dyan. I put some of them in my dyalog pages and continued to play around with the ones I had left. 

Amazon delivery at around lunchtime, ( new sheets) to go with the bedding. 

I had lunch and more cuddles with Willow, who was obviously loving having me at home. 

Kev got home around 5.30 pm and then we watched tv for a bit, there was a good documentary about the Dennis Nielson victims on BBC one. Interesting to see it from the victims angle. A lot of it was exploring how because he targeted young gay men how it wasn't important because it was seen back in the late 70's early 80's "as their own fault". It was and is a bloody disgrace, but not that much more disgusting than the Jack the Ripper victims being less important because they were poor and prostitutes. Same closed minds, different century. We've come a long way since then, but there is still a lot of bigotry. Putting people in to neat little boxes. I think being both alternative and disabled makes me acutely aware of how society treats anyone who won't blend into the masses. 

Going back to Dennis Nielson story though I remember when Alice lived in Hornsey and we stayed with her and her Mum, one of the trips around the area included a visit to Muswell Hill and the house at Cranley Gardens, where some of the murders ( and subsequent bodies) were committed. It was eerie standing across the road from the drains where they found a lot of the remains. Creepy.
