Book

And today my audio book copy of The God Of Small Things arrived. Except it was cheap because it is on 2 cassettes. Oh dear. In the cupboard under the stairs I had a tape player, that I couldn't life out. So I asked a MOS to help but then we discovered that no lead was attached. In about the 7th place I looked I found one. So hooray it works, I have listened to just side 1 so far, 3 more for tomorrow and the days after

Tai Chi

Well, it was a good class again, but I found it a bit frustrating as I needed to move my right arm loads. On one level my arm moves better than it did a few weeks ago, but on another (seems more urgent to me) it's f**ked.

(Weep)

And in the middle of this chaos my phone rang, I answered. It was Ruth said "Sorry, unexpected work, can't come and see you tonight" Tomorrow? I said "No, I'll be out at Medical Centre"

Hello

So this afternoon I went out my front door and I met a woman. She said "Neil, do you remember me?". I had to say "No who are you?". She pointed across the road at the rehab centre, said "Alex who works there, my son" Good lord yes, I recall now, so I had to stand up and give her a kiss on the cheek....

Dial~A~Ride

Good lord, Dial-A-Ride didn't phone me back today, I forgot to phone them until after 12.30 when they are officially closed. I phoned the number anyway and spoke to someone from the council, they said "He will contact you when he's back later". So I thought not looking promising for tomorrows trip to the Health Center so I'd better phone a Taxi. I had just finished that when he phoned me and said "Tomorrow and Monday is on". So I had to phone the Taxi back and say "Sorry, no need tomorrow"

Wheelchair Fixer

And the man came s'morning and replaced the broken stabilizer extra wheel on the back so hopefully I won't break one again

Cut It

And today I was making dinner and instead of my usual "straight edged" knife I used a serrated blade one and good lord but it was much easier to use, just sawing back and forward instead of just pushing down

Tai Chi today

And I woke up at 4 summat AM today and I don't think I dropped off again
