February 2025 Diary Now CLOSED

I hope you feel better soon Shamika. I don't know what's worse the tooth or the back pain. Hugs Dear! And good vibes sent your way for the pain to stop and for healing! Please take the tooth pain serious. A tooth infection is very close to the brain and can get bad very quickly IF your pain is from an infection at all. Nerve pain is also unbearable and I hope it stops soon for you! ♥️

Aw, thank you Kells, that's good advice. There's no swelling (tooth) so I'm hoping it is a nerve thing. With the back problem, I just have to take it easy, time is a healer :) the problem is forgetting and getting a sudden ouch!

I order quite a few parts for my Nissan car and my BSA from Japan, UK and the odd part from China. When I order small stuff from ebay, that's less of a problem. But more expensive items, they **** with your head. This is just 3 examples from the last month:

Present of three small bottles from the UK from my dear friend Kimbo: Got a letter from DHL, You got a package, either let DHL deal with it, for a cost of 15 Euro + whatever customs would take, or do the customs myself. I opted for doing it myself, it's not because of the 15 Euro, it's just I was pissed off. So today I drove up there, extra 40 km on my way to work, they opened the package and told me I can go without payment...

Japan: Got a Whatsup from DHL that the package will be delivered on Tuesday. A signature and payment (customs) is required. I had the option to chose another day, but they were all working days. No way to pay the customs online. They gave me the option of picking it up in another city, round trip of 80 km. So I had to stay at home yesterday and wait for the package....

China: UPS tried to deliver it to my house during working hours, 3 times, and because I was away I did not see it. I work Mon - Friday in an office...There were small notes in my letterbox that got shoved in between junk mail that I missed. I did get a link to pay for the customs, which I did, but the tracking said the package goes back to Japan. I tried to call UPS call center, you only get an automated system that takes you in a circle. Option 1 option 2 go back to menu 1, drove me ***** crazy. You could not get an actual person, just a computer. The seller contacted me, tried to help from his side, we were on it for a couple of days. In the end I sent out an email to customer service, and after a day they called me and we managed to get the package delivered to a shop in my town.

Not sure what the connection is, but I do like a bit of fun to spice up the Diary :)

You got the connection! A little smile doesn't hurt, does it? This avoids taking things too seriously.

Thursday 27th of FAB FEB

Well... the evil scissor monster seduced me and with a trembling hand I cut of 6 inches of my own hair.... I knew it would happen, it always does :@

There's a football match tonight (West Ham) I'm not sure I can bear to watch however.

Tomorrow is Friday "Woohoo" as TeeGee says but it's also the last day of this short month. Will the diary continue... or will the evil scissor monster cut that too ?

The only good thing about a dodgy tooth is that I'm eating no biscuits (too sharp) the habit was getting out of hand anyway. I did have some soothing cold ice cream instead. The problem with the dodgy back is that I couldn't go for my walk as usual.

I uploaded a song I've been working on for ages but couldn't get it how I wanted it, do other people have that problem i.e. the longer you work on something the more critical you get about it!

---

You know you will watch the game, suffer through it. That's what real fans do, not the glory hunters. Keep the faith!

Friday was just woohooed, and the diary better continue :@

---

Thanks for the sympathy TG, of course we lost again, I fell asleep and missed the second goal but I'm sure I saw tears rolling down the Manager's face so I knew it would be another fail :(

I've given a few SHAMMYS out this week, it's quite hard to decide because there are so many good remixes. I feel mean but I can only give one a day and I like to vary the instruments. Ernie was delighted with his trophy yesterday by the way :D

It's the end of the February Diary already for parts of the World so I have to prepare for 1st March.
If anyone still has an entry for February they should put it into MARCH now
