More Afternoon

Then I went to bed for a 30 min. rest. Afterwards we went shopping just to take more cash out of the bank and to buy more blueberries.

Then tonight we go to another folk club, the Queen Vic in Llanelli

Busy Afternoon

Then this afternoon Sarah the OT came and we finished making my Christmas Cake which is being taken to Scotland tomorrow!!!!

Busy Morning

Oh what a morning we have had. Timmy came round at 10 then by about quarter past we were heading off to Carmel to take pics of broken gates etc. I usually go out later but today needed to finish early as Sarah the OT is coming round to finish my Christmas cake, which a MOS mother is taking to Glasgow to his granny's tomorrow. Next weekend at the airport said granny is gonna meet up with him anyway so hopefully she will bring my cake along, so no scary baggage handlers will be involved

What A Day

So s'morning I had no staff as they were having a meeting about me. Then later Paul came roughly simultaneously with Denyse my case manager. She listened to me for a bit, said "You'de better get these Disabled Abseiling folk to get in touch" then they continued their meeting while I went to bed. Half an hour later I got up just before Denyse went away 'til after Christmas. She left me a Xmas card which was a bit embarrassing as I didn't have one to return

Then later that Freya came around and was very pleasant, summat is working on her

Aargh

So first of all we went to Headway where they were having a free dinner 'cos it's Christmas. It was delicious food but not a roast dinner, in fact it was curry and bits. Then we went to Headway for what I thought would be our last meeting. But within about 20 mins or so I had agreed to get involved in a Disabled Abseiling do about April or May so we'd better go along 'til then at least

Then we went to The Friends Arms and had a small drinky or two then came home

Clean Up

Then after lunch I had to go and run a bowl of water and do the washing up early today as I am not to have dinner tonight, we are being fed at Headway

Phew

So Ed came round s'morning, put away my washed sheets etc, then took me to (More Reason's To Shop At) Morrison's where we bought food etc, then came back here where he used his Memory Stick to transfer some staff(y) forms over to the new laptop so someone else can look after them

And then I asked Ed to mend my bracelet. I thought there was a bit of string in the drawer but I actually found elastic. So excellent, it is tight fitting round my wrist but pulls off easily.

And he had to phone the wheelchair fixing people (3 times) and make an appointment for them to come and "fix" 3 different issues, next Thursday

More Reason's To Shop At...

And Timmy came round after lunch. First of all we went to Morrison's and bought half of my list for Monday's trip as it was a bit big. Especially as I am buying the minimum in supermarkets and most of it in the health food shop.

Then that Toby came round and was a bit...... un-himself. We took him home in the car and .... he is going to bed early tonight as he hasn't been to bed for a number of days

Sunday Morn

And this is the only daytime during the week where I am alone. "Ooh what fun we had" (not WS). Just a dull, raining, morning

Napless

And we were so busy today that I had no time for a nap. I promised Timmy that I would have one after tea but I have been so busy catching up with the day that it is now much too late to nap and I have just put my dinner on't table.So I will have to see how I feel as the night goes on

And it is a quarter to ten now, I am still awake but thinking of bed soon. So yes, I am a couple of hours missing

What A Day #58 (3)

Then when we were on the way back we went, got Toby and took him to the Hospital to meet his new baby sister which was making me a bit emotional but went well. I wasn't allowed in to see them as non family members are only allowed in briefly but it went well anyway

What A Day #58 (2)

Then we stopped and had lunch in a motorway services as it was getting late

What A Day #58

So Timmy came in s'morning, faffed about for a bit then took me to Pedalpower in Cardiff. Firstly we had a conference as last time I was there I needed a special pedal on the RHS to protect my foot etc but since then I have a new splint and there is no need for any of that nonsense, I just get on a bike and go. It was excellent, I cycled for three quarters of an hour. The only issue I had was that the pedals were about 1mm too close to the seat so my right leg was hurting for 10 degrees of a circuit but not by much

L8r

So then he finally arrived today, we did boring paperwork etc then there was a knock at the door. It was a chap delivering the new lapdogtop that is gonna live here, and we will move sum files from my PC to it so I will be less crowded etc

After hours of setting it up and putting antivirus on etc we went to Waverley Stores where I didn't buy as much food as last week. We also went into Tesco for summat and I bought some newbie frozen food to try

Phone Call

And I have just taken a phone call from Paul and he said "There has been a huge crash outside Pembroke Dock and they have closed the road, I may be a bit late"

Better Code

And for some reason I was searching Google again and for some reason I discovered how to put an MP4 in the body of a webpage instead of the head like I had to do

Windy

Well luckily the weather here isn't as bad as Scotland ATM and thank lord that it is happening now instead of the 23rd. Anyway we sheltered indoors s'morning then went to the gym after lunch and good lord. 1) I got the assistant singing Rocky Horror at one point and 2) I am so much better

Wow

What a day, the dentist wasn't too mad but a bit expensive and the folk club tonight was excellent even tho I am uploading a HUGE file ATM

More Scared now

And yes I am more ill at ease because at 11.30 I have an appointment with the dentist

Fear

And yes I am slightly ill at ease because at 11.30 in't morning I have an appointment with the dentist

Walkies

So Timmy came in s'morning, caught up on paperwork then took me to the first gym session I have had with my new splint. So I walked in and did loads of timed walks etc then loadsa standing up exercises etc. They were pleased at my progress and so am I

And then later that Freya came over for dinner. We had the same dinner as last week but this time I tried turning the pies over in a small plate holding them in place with a T-towel instead of trying to use both hands and this time the pies worked, it tasted and looked beautiful

Burry Port

And we went to the Folk Club where they sell whiskey macs.... And for the first time in 8½ years as my left hand was no longer holding a walky stick I was able to walk to the bar, by a drink and carry it back by myself, walking

Ding

So then later Ed came and got me, initially took me to (More Reasons To Shop At) Morrison's where I bought more stuff than usual. And today we went up the first aisle with me in my 'chair then at the end I stood up, attached my hands to the trolley and walked everywhere we needed to go to buy stuff, still stood up went thru the till, still walked outside pushing the trolley

Goodbye

And this morning for a couple of hours my sister and her hubby were here before they set off to Scotland again. I will see them in 18 days as then I will be in Scotland for Xmas

Evenly Walking

And I today fitted an insole into my left boot so..... dunno.... but it feels better. More evenly heighted or summat

MOS

And I was having my usual moan about being here amongst much iller people and the MOS said "Yes, most of the other residents should be in here, they should be in a home", I said "Like across the road", she continued "Not in a getting better place like this"

Tenby

So Carly and Ian came over to mine about half past 11 today as they had been in a shop and they said "No, we can't sell you anything until 11AM". We had a conference about the seaside, I said "Nah, too far" but Carly insisted so Ian drove us to Tenby and it didn't look good, couldn't find anywhere to eat so we came back and had a delicious sandwich (with freebie salad and crisps) in (More reason's to shop at) Morrisons and it was lovely if a bit long routed.

They have gone off now for 40 mins to let me have my daily nap

Ho hum, this afternoon I was stuck trying to make conversation with Ian as Carolyn was being nosey looking through "my staff"'s notes about my life

And then we went and knocked on Toby's door, took him out for a meal, to The West End on Lammas Street (?) and then brought him back here so I could give him his new alarm clock

It seemed a bit odd having Toby with my when I met then. I used to do this when he was 4ish, now he is bigger and trying to prove himself as an adult

Well

So s'morning Paul came over for a bit, took me out shopping then we were back home before Carolyn and Ian arrived. OK they phoned first and said "Delayed flight" but they turned up in the end. They spoke to Paul for a bit then he went away. We went out and I bought them dinner, to say ta to Carolyn

And she did comment that she hasn't seen me since April and now I seem much better and happier in myself. So I think credit to Denyse and Ed and Paul and Timmy

Sloe Gin

I had the only sloe gin I am having tonight a few minutes ago. But I feel the need to neck it, I finished it in about 2 seconds. Not having any more now

What A Day #58

Good lord, a strange and busy day has been had. Paul came in, faffed about for an hour or so then Sara(no h) the Physio came in.

She had phoned me and said "I had a leak at my house last night, I'm coming but will be half an hour late". Good lord etc, that combined with how long we talked about my walking etc(1) meant there was no time for swimming today.

After lunch we went out, faffed around town loads, got the bits for my cake, went to the health food shop and got my shopping. And in Waverley Health Food I stood up and walked about, did my shopping from upright. The women who works there was well pleased

(1) Hence me walking better now if I try it

Awake

(Sigh) The first time I looked at my clock this morning it sed 10 to 6. I lay there awake and sulking 'til 7.10 when I got up

I think in the past I used to enjoy occasional lie-in's but since I was forced to stay in bed for a number of years it has worn off, I need to get up now ASAP

Big Difference

I am still astonished at me walking with no 'stick in my new boots and splint. Just generally shouting with joy and so on

Ding

So Ed came in s'morning. Just before he came in Linda Smith was 4 minutes early to cut my toenails. After she finished he faffed about for a bit then took me to the Gym for my weekly exercises. It feels really different with my new splint but I suppose we gotta get used to it. When we went into the gym on my wheelchair then I stood up and walked everywhere with no 'stick. I think it was the furthest I have managed. There was only 1 step that was wonky, I couldn't make it, I waited there for Ed to catch me up then took hold of his arm took 1 step then let go again

Singing

And I was brave/mad enough to sing at the folk club tonight and everyone clapped!!!

Busy

With Timmy today, first of all he was here, first of all we went to Swansea and bought tickets for our new years day treat. Then when we came back Sarah the OT came and did some more cake making with me. Today we rolled out the Marzipan and coated the cake in it

But I did find it much easier standing up and walking about in he kitchen, it is becoming a new habit

& At 'EM

So today I got up, put on my new boots (and not the large right one until Timmy gets here), had breakfast, did my washing up and was in't loo, ½ way through a poo and my alarm clock went off

What A Difference

So now that my foot doesn't hurt I am wearing my splint to bedtime. In the morning I will put on my size smaller boot on my right foot 'til someone is here that can fit my bigger one, which I assume will be all day and night again

Not Pink DM's

And we went to Clarke's and had my feet measured etc. They only had one pair of boots that fitted me with my splint on, so at a guess I'd better not buy Pink DM's on the web as they won't be over width like my new boots

And by g*d what a difference, at a guess now I should be walking more and ditching my wheelchair. G*d, it seems scary and intimidating but that's me, scary and intimidating so......

DM's

And I was looking on Amazon at Pink DM's boots but they are all womens boots, there are only Converse Boots in pink male so dunno what to do now

And this morning chappy came here and wrapped up Toby's bike in bin bags bubble wrap so now I am awaiting the pick up from TNT

Out-ish

So last night I had a lift miles away to the folk club. When we got there it was still full of drunk wedding guests who were s'posed to have gone an hour before and hadn't. Us and another musician left in disgust. The manager was being really stroppy and they wouldn't leave

Expensive

So Ed came in s'morning, took me shopping first, then came back, did paperwork while I had my lunch, then continued paperwork while I had a nap.

Then he took me to the f***ing dentist who struggled to get a filling in my back tooth, but finished off with a total of 3 fillings. My next appointment is going to be even more expensive as they tackle the temporary filling below it.

And now that the anaesthetic is wearing off it feels like my normal gub, no pain or even discomfort. VBG

Don't Mention It

And I am sh*tting my self as I am going to the very expensive dentist tomorrow

SA

And a MOS brought in her photos (as promised yesterday) of her 5 week stay in her native country South Africa. Just wow, lions and tigers, walking with a Cheetah on a lead. One of the lion cubs growled at her fiance when he stroked it. Just WOW

Healthy, Wealthy, Wise

So last night I went to sleep at normal time, in bed this morning without my alarm clock set and I woke up 10 minutes after my alarm clock goes off normally

Napping

And as I was out after lunchtime and going miles away I didn't have time for a nap. So in the car on the way back I said "Nap", turned off the music and shut my eyes for 25 mins.

Well it is now 8 minutes to 12 and I am still awake

Dinner

And for tea tonight, same as I do most weekends, I had pizza which I made myself from Naan bread. The Naan bread, as usual, came from a packet of two. But most weekends I have pizza and oven chips but tonight (and yesterday) the Naan bread was so big that I ate it alone. Dunno why, I thought I had bought my usual variety bit obviously it was a big sister

And luckily last night I made the pizza before I put the chips on as I realised there was no need

Busy Afternoon

This morning I had no-one with me but I still woke up 5 minutes before my alarm clock would have been set to IYSWIM.

After lunch Claire (She doesn't have pink hair) came round and talked about Freya's second meeting and genarally said she was lovely and has learned this and loves you etc

Then Timmy who had come while Claire was talking took me miles west to Haverford West to Sportsdirect looking for Pink DM boots as recommended by someone on the interweb. But they don't have and DM's let alone pink ones. We had a coffee then looked everywhere else but couldn't find any.

BB, CC, BB, WW

Gosh. What a day again. So Paul came round this AM, we did some paperwork and sorted out the Petty Cash etc. Then we went swimming in the swimming pool which wasn't as excellent as last week but it was still OK. We came back here for a bit then went shopping to Waverley Stores where again I spent much too much on food.

Then it was getting to the end of selling Toby's bike on ebay and we suddenly did it

Iechyd Da

And we went down to Club Iechyd Da for their once a month folk night tonight and it was as excellent as ever.

Unfortunately Freya was sick at school today and couldn't come along but I did meet that Ruth there and we exchanged greetings etc

Foot Splint

So today we went to Cardiff and got given my new foot splint. I was under the impression that I would try it on today and go back in a fortnight and get it, but he was so impressed with my walking that I got it today. So it will do with my boots, no pink DM's for now

Timmy

So Timmy came round today for a long shift. This morning wee went and did a top up shopping (and he bought a pie for tonight) then later Sarah The OT came in and topped up my cake etc. We peeled off all the paper and I, even I, could smell it. We started a discussion about The Hero's Journey by 2 folk who deal with military brain injury's which is gonna take up some time for us
After dinner we are going out to a Llanelli Folk Club

And we went to t'Folk Club and it was there, Jackie was there too so I tried to behave somewhat but it was difficult

As on the way back we ran over a cat. And we were being followed much to closely by another driver so we couldn't break really hard. "Only a fool breaks the two second rule"

Nappy

And I said I wasn't gonna nap today but he told me all sorts of reasons why I should and I believed him and went to bed for just half an hour but it does improve my afternoon and how I react to stuff etc. I am currently trying to convince myself hence writing it up here

Gosh, I am up about an hour and a half later than when I went to bed last night, after a half hour snooze

What a treat

And that Freya came over for tea tonight and it seemed a bit strange in so many ways. First of all F seemed easier to be around for whatever reason tonight. And the pies which we had for dinner seemed really nice, as was pudding etc.

Dull

And me and Paul had a meeting with Denyse which was good then a meeting with my social worker and a financial advisor which was as dull as ditchwater. They were repeating what they said to Denyse on't phone last week etc. They had to come here to meet me dunno why but there you are

Kindle

And on my reading device, my Kindle, I am currently 40% of the way through my first Terry Pratchett novel and just WOW, it is cute and easy etc. It is the first proper big book that I have read in 8½ years...... happy chappy

Offy

Folky tonight, hooray etc

Monday

So s'morning me and Ed went to the supermarket where I hadta buy almost nowt, as I went there on Saturday but I did need some perishables

After my nap we went out and about in town, going to Jenkin's for a mini cheese and onion pasty etc.

Nap-py

But I did nap for half an hour today as we are going out tonight and I wanna stay awake

No Nap-py

And here I am again without a nap today

With Toby

Well that Toby came round and we put his bike on ebay and then made a nice dinner. He had to leave soon after dinner to meet someone but......

Tum ti tum

Oh what fun we have had today. We went out and bought some egg tins for putting them in't oven (MINETR) so tonight fior dinner with Toby I shall have 2 fried eggs baked in the oven instead, I will tell you what they are like

And WOW yes, they were excellent, my egg broke as I put it in and just was lovelier.

Napless

So tonight I have not had a nap at all. I am absolutely knackered about half past 10 so I am gonna go to bed soon. Who knows, g'night

Timmying

So Timmy came in today. Firstly he had to take me out for a couple of hours to leave the space free for Freya to meet up with Denyse my case manager and Claire, a psychobabbler. That went well, apparently, and we went round town looking at stuff etc. Later we went to Halford's and bought a pink tree air freshener for my car. As well I filled in some bumph about my parenting roles which will be added to and discussed next time Claire comes here

Napless

And I didn't have a nap today, no time etc, and I am still awake!! (ObAnd playing with text features on Blog-maker, so VBG.)

Terry Pratchett

So I am currently reading a Terry Pratchett novel on my Kindle. (How up to date am I?) Today's section involved a witch tatalking about witch duties. EG She has to cut an old woman's toenails. So my "witch" is coming here...... ...

Returned Tool

Then this afternoon Paul picked summat out of the floor on the back of my car, it was a strange tool, sort of like an ex-screw driver that someone had taken a grinder too. So we went back to the Vauxhall Garage who were working on the rear of my car a few days ago and gave it back. The chap said "Huge thanks, that would have cost loads to replace"

Weary

Gosh, what a day #27½. So firstly me and Paul went swimming, to the Leisure Centre. And for some reason I felt that it was doing me so much good that I could put up with it. Just WOW, my stretchability has improved more. Since swimming every time I have got out of my car I have just been able to move my right leg out by itself, without needing to grip it in my knee and pull it up over the bits, like such a big improvement.

And WOW too, at the end of my session I simply climbed out of the swimming pool via the ladder. On my second attempt but I haven't managed that for more than 8 years!!!

Then as we had lunch in town at the swimming pool we were in town at a loose end so I went to Morrison's and bought some of next weeks shopping, to make Monday lighter, then I went to Waverley Store's and bought the majority of this weeks shopping, but they had no Mushrooms. So we had to go to that place that got my heart beating, Aardvark Wholefood's, where I used to work. When we got there I parked my wheelchair outside, stood up and walked in, bought some mushrooms and left. What they must think...

Ed-ding

So we had nowt to do for the rest of the day. We sat here, discussed my father's christmas pressie etc. What fun we had

Gymless

And I had been in town this AM buying some stuff, when I got in the car to come back my mobile phone rang. I answered and he said "Hello, this is..... from Carmarthen Leisure Centre, Sam is off sick, so no gym for you today". Sh*t, I don't enjoy it but it is making me better

More Tim(my)

Then tonight we went miles away to the Queen Victorio Bar in Llanelli where they had an excellent folk night. And I remembered what spirit to drink if they don't have a whiskey mac. ObAnd Jackie was there too which filled my heart with.......

Tim(my)

So s'morning Tim(my) came round again, we set off for Carmel to do my taking pictures job but on the way we stopped at Leekes of Cross Hands and had lunch. I thought about yesterday's 2 dinner crisis and decided, on the way there, that I was just going to have summat that I haven't eaten many of out recently, a Cheese Toastie and by gosh it was lovely. From there we went off to Carmel and took some photos. After we came back I had a sleep for ½ an hour

Daughter

Then that Freya came round and had her tea and some cheesecake with me

Timming

So Tim came along alone this morning and soon had to take me to the Carmarthen Leisure Centre and I had an hour of gym. Including 10 mins on a bike and, for the first time, a hand bike, which I pedalled with my hands not my feet

Along The Way

And along the way I had to buy another plain black eyepatch as the patterned ones are making my eye sore. After we bought it we went into Cafe Iechyd Da for a brew and I asked the woman waiting if she could draw. What can I say, I think it's a "YES"

Paul alone

So today I had an extra session with Paul as Ed's away.

He couldn't come to mine until after lunch time, which he did, then we went in and dropped my car off at Ceir Cawdor Cars then we spent the next 3½ hours walking around town, shopping some and having a coffee then they phoned back and it was ready. Then we nipped to shops where thankfully I had bought most yesterday. Then we came back here and I cooked, then we went out to Headway which as usual failed to excite me

Timmying

So today I had the first unaccompanied session with Tim(my) and I think it went well-ish. He was supposed to be here with Toby but as Toby is away at min. he wasn't. Earlier today we went round Morrison's shop and I bought loadsa stuff to make tomorrows shop quicker. Later we found somewhere else to eat, I don't think I have been there before but it was a very nice feed. And cheesecake afterwards

That Chap

Then seconds after Claire CS(N)GPH left that Toby came round to borrow train fares to Wolverhampton to see that Julie who he was living with for ages as loadsa folk are paying for that, and he agreed to pay it into my bank account when he's there to prevent him spending it when he comes back

No pink hair

Then Claire, the psycho who had seen the kids, came to see me. I feel like crying as she was saying some very positive stuff about the kids and our relationship. She told me about the future, plans, too

Lunch

So for lunch today I opened the salad that I bought last night and the small packet of potato salad that I bought too. Good lord, it is more than 8 years since I ate potato salad and it is beautiful/delicious

Busy Bathroom

So before lunch I was sitting on the loo. The phone rang and by the time I had picked up my bum-bag and taken it out it had rung off. It said "The call was from Denyse" so I rung her back. While we were talking (and I couldn't wipe my bum as my good hand was busy holding the phone) the door knocked, a MOS to see me. So I had to say to Denyse "Hang on" take the phone away from my mouth and shout "Come back in ten minutes, I'm on't loo"

"Efficiency and progress.....

....are ours once more"

The strange lyric came into my head today. After much puzzling I looked online and it is The Dead Kennedys. So dunno but I like it

(The link is probably not WS)

"Kill, kill, kill the poor"

Sigh

So we had a late start s'morning as "they" had a meeting about me, but before the meeting Paul and Ed came over and took back the cake tin for Sarah (OT). Then they went away to the meeting for the rest of the morning, I didn't see them 'til after lunch. Then they came up and Paul did paperwork while me and Timmy played backgammon. It was the first time I have played in over 8 years and by g*d but it was fun. I lost the first match by one piece and won the second by 13!!!

Then after our games we went to Waitrose Stores and spent far too much on quality food

Carless

And "they" went to the Vauxhall garage and picked up my car but it hasn't been properly mended, on Monday someone will leave it in again

No Car

And the car wasn't finished yet, hopefully it will be finished by tomorrow lunchtime when Paul will be able to pick it up

Splinted

Good lord. So Ed took me to Cardiff to the splint fitters this afternoon. Gosh, so I only had a model made but it feels good already. In a few weeks I need to go back for the first fitting then another couple of weeks and it will be finished.

And I didn't have time for a nap today

Blogging

And as I was mid-blog this AM and it suddenly said "New, improved, download" and I thought for a bit then did it, and my blog now looks a lot better, some of my issues have been fixed. Still have to add links and bold etc but it is better

Ed-Ding

So Ed came round at 10 this morning. He phoned Ceir Cawdor Cars in Carmarthen and said "The window winder for the back seat is broken" and they agreed to take it in this afternoon and have a look. So he will drive me to Cardiff (the splint fitter) in his car and hopefully pick up mine when we get back

Folking

And we went out tonight to a new Folk Night (for me) at the Queen Victoria pub in Llanelli. It seemed to start off with 6 folk playing tunes to each other but did brighten up in the end

Caking

And today, later, that Sarah the OT person is coming here and we will together make a huge christmas cake. In a few weeks we will marzipan it then ice it the week after.

And it was excellent looking

And today we (well Ed) took it out of it's tin and set it on the box. And it looks even better now

Reader

And this morning as I no longer have 100+ Ixion emails to read, I have made a start reading my device. And wow it's excellent, much better for me than a paper book, but how to choose new books?

Reading Device

Then when we came back here Paul went to ask them at the office and they were able to present me with my new Kindle which does seem way more handleable than a physical book

Busiest Day

Good lord, so s'morning we went out to the Gym where I managed to impress the (beautiful) Gym Lady and we discussed what I need to keep doing in the future, then we went and had a lunch at gym which was way too hot to eat even as it was nearly finished. Mid bite Paul looked at his watch and said "Gosh, that has taken ages at gym come on, hurry up" then we got in my car and headed for Priory Day Hospital where another woman measured me etc then made a new arm splint to be worn at night.

Drunk

We went out to a Folk Club where I got drunk on whiskey macs

Visitor

Then that Freya came in, it was good. Tomorrow I won't be here so she came today

Shitty Day

Lord. This morning Ed came and got me. First thing we went off to Morrison'ds and did some shopping.

After lunch we went down and got that Toby chap to enable him to use the phone. He phoned chap and basically got f*cked off, he said there were no places available at college for now. So I dunno what Toby will do now, perhaps try A-levels again next year but for now...... dunno

Then we went off to Tesco's to have a look at the Kindle e-readers thing. Dunno, it seemed quite useable so we came back here and I bought one off Amazon to save £50. Dunno, there seem to be e-books everywhere, free ones, cheap ones and upwards. Dunno, see how it goes

Drink a drink

To Lily The Pink.... (noisy)

Earlier tonight I poured myself a drink, perhaps a double whiskey worth. On drinking it I felt obliged to tip my head back and glug it down in one. Later I poured another and the same went. Luckily I show restraint on my pouring, otherwise I would be sick through drink in about four minutes

Paul AND Timmy

Then later in the afternoon Paul AND Timmy showed up, first of all we went to Carmel and showed Timmy where we go so I can take photo's, then we came back here and I fed a hungover chap called Toby. Once I had finished lecturing him we loaded his bike into the back of the car so we could take him home

Fear

So a MOS was in here s'morning looking through my cupboards, they went into the bottom LHS cupboard, turned it around and I had to watch as a full, unopened bottle of Sloe Gin fell out of the cupboard and didn't break on the floor below

Hectic Week

Good lord, looking at my calendar for next week I am intimidated. Monday go shopping as normal then put up with Freya having an early visit. Tuesday go to Gym then off to Priory Day Hospital to have my right hand splint made. This is why Freya had to come a day early. Wednesday have a massive session with the OT as we are making a Christmas Cake, then go out in the evening. Thursday go to Cardiff to have my right foot splint cast which hopefully is gonna make such a difference to my walking. Friday wait here by myself as they are all having a meeting

Slow Start

So just b4 lunchtime today Ed came round then 20 minutes later Denyse (my case manager) and Clare, Clare, she has (no) Pink Hair (a psychologist who is attached to me somehow) came round and told me that they would see both the kids in the day. Then me and Ed went out to let them get on and both the kids came and were "talked at"

And according to both kids it was productive. So god knows but...
