Rugger On Friday

And as Timmy is back on Friday (and a fan) we are going together to watch the possibles vs the probables Welsh rugby match. He doesn't have to pay as he's pushing me and I can claim it from petty cash as it's a special trip out

Sweet Potato Oven Chips

Well, so today I was using my replacement blade on my chip cutter (that broke last time I tried making sweet potato OC's). Well it didn't break this time but it simply couldn't cut the sweet potatoes.
Tried it myself, called Timmy and said "Help" to no avail, it wasn't because I wasn't strong enough, it just wouldn't cut the sweet spuds. As I had already peeled the sweet spuds so Timmy had to take it on to help chip them by hand
So <sigh> we had to drive to that Tescos place and buy just some Sweet Spud Oven Chips

More Walking

And we went down to Farm Foods as much so I could walk but we did spend a few pennies in't shop. Just today as the gym is so busy so exercise was just walking
And again, yes FES no to wheelchair, we left it at home
More to the point instead of having a small trolley (picture of both sizes) which I usually struggle kicking it etc we decided to see if a big trolley was any different, what a difference it made, I could just push it and walk, no issue. The wheels are in a slightly different position

Shopping

So today we went to Wilkinsons(1) with the intention of buying a new pyrex dish (for scrambling eggs in the microwave amongst other uses) and Timmy petty cashed loads of cleaning products to clean here
And we bought a new extension lead so the wires sitting on the floor to the too short extension behind my bed will all be out of view and out of the way underneath the table etc
Because the leisure centre is way too busy today we are just gonna go for another walk about town s'afternoon.
(1) With no wheelchair in the boot, we left it in my bungalow. And I did have my FES fitted, but I didn't have to use it all the time

Getting Up

And I have got a lot better at standing up. More chairs are accessible and I can now get up from my kitchen chair without holding on to the edge of the table
