Quiet Afternoon

I had a quiet nooneraft, a haircut and nowt much else, them we are going out Folk Clubbing tonight.

And it was excellent, when we got there we were the only folk there but about 9.30 it started to get busy etc

Shopping

So we nipped out to Morrison's, then we had to go to that evil T place to get some Organic Muesli. We couldn't find it, asked a member of staff, she couldn't find it, looked again and the end packet was turned sideways, there it was

Strange Poohing

So as is quite common I got up s'morning and went for a pooh before breakfast. I did my pooh, wiped and for some reason I wiped so well today that I didn't need my Andrex Fresh to finish off cleaning me

Together Again

And my parents are still here today. They brought me loadsa stuff for my kitchen when they came today. In a bit we are going out for lunch then to M&S to get more non-elastic socks

Then we went out over lunchtime to my parents hotel where we had a very nice lunch. So I will just have salad for dinner tonight

AND I have finally fixed it so that "my parents" link is pointing here not here. There was a "#" in the wrong place, it wasn't missing but in the wrong place

Well they've gone now. This evening they drive to Cardiff and stay in a hotel by the airport then first thing tomorrow they go back to Belfast.

It was the first time in 9 years where my Mother didn't cry when she was leaving

Leccy

And new bulbs are annoying me a bit tonight. I go into the kitchen and switch on the light to get some supper. As I leave the kitchen my hand wobbles over the light switch but I know that with these modern lo energy bulbs you mustn't switch it off then on again within 15 minutes, by which time I will have eaten my supper and want to put the plate away in the kitchen

ANOTHER "What A Day!"

So first of all s'morning we went into M&S and bought some "non-elastic" easy grip socks and just WOW for how it feels on my leg, much better, no rashy squeezed bit.

THEN we nipped over to the furniture shops at Cross Hands. In one shop they told me that the chair we ordered 3 weeks ago should actually be delivered on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. In another furniture shop nearby my parents bought me some furniture for the spare room, next to the bed. My mother is already referring to it as "her room".

Then we went off and bought a stir fry and different pasta which I actually prefered this time. Luckily Freya got better enuf to get a lift over hear today, so she cooked the stir fry and there would have been much too much it we didn't have an extra mouth to feed.

Visitors

Then afterwards my parents arrived in town, we picked 'em up at their hotel and brought them first back here. Triple good lordy, they have been so worried about me for so long and now I am living in a beautiful bungalow in the real world. Then we went out to Pizza Express in Carmarthen and it was nice, and they had to pay

Walkies

So I got up s'morning, didn't sit in my wheelchair but walked out, across the hall, into the kitchen and made my (posh) coffee and my breakfast standing up. Then walked the VERY LONG way to the table, sat in a proper chair and am exhaustedly nibbling breakfast there now

Lordy 56.5

Well s'morning me and Dicky had a bit of a chat for about an hour or so then we went off to Cardiff to the splint menders. For a start they fixed the tape across the top which was wearing, then I complained a bit about it being much too hot to wear in the summer. They took it away for 20 minutes, brought it back with new tape and more to the point had simply cut the back off the splint. It is strange, it doesn't feel any weaker but much cooler, ventilated. They also measured my foot, how far it bends and actually said that it was worth my going back in a fortnight and getting another splint made, with the heel and the toes in a more natural position.

Then we met up with Denyse for a cuppa and she gave me some advice about walking more etc etc.

And Denyse said that "someone" had been discussing my broken hand splint with her and they decided that as my hand is so much better there is no need for a splint ATM

It Works Again

So the broadband is working again now which means that if I am looking at a rude sight my 'puter no longer says "No, too vulgar, prove you are 18..."

Donovan

So the chap who is singing at the Folk Club ATM said this a song by Donovan. Ed said "Who, Jason Donovan?"


(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Folk Clubbing

I am off out in a bit to a Folk Club soon, busy waiting for my broadband to kick in

Not Walkies

So as I am wearing my splint as little as poss because it was making my foot wonky I am stuck in my wheelchair.

Tomorrow we will be at the splint fixers so wait and see if he can improve it and/or give me a smaller bootless splint too

Broadband

Waiting for the BT fixer to come here and install Broadband today..... I had to get up early in case he came and I am still waiting....

He's been, done some beeping in the socket now he has gone off to fiddle in the main outdoors phone socket, say's he will be back in half an hour

Well so he did "stuff", came back, did some more beeping then my BT landline works now. Hooray etc. BUT the broadband still doesn't work, apparently after the setup it will take up to 24 hours but it will just start automatically

18.19 Still not connected...

Lordy, what a performance, so "someone" had to phone BT s'morning, no avail, about 10 minutes into the phone call he realised that there was still an adaptor on the phone/broadband plug, took it off and the blue light lit up, hooray, no dongle, quicker etc etc

Little Girl

So me and Toby (and Dicky) were sitting in a restaurant tonight, as I was too much in bits to cook for Toby, when a little girl walked past. She saw my eye and stopped and said "Your eyepatch looks cool"

Gym

And Gym s'morning was as excellent as usual but after we had a discussion about Splint fixing etc afterwards we agreed that as the only appointment I could make was for Thursday afternoon I will have to have my splint mended and miss Gym on Thursday

Dicky-de-dooh-dah

So Dicky is now in for his first unaccompanied work session with me. So far today we have been out shopping to 2 places and eaten, but all goes well so far Well the afternoon went OK too.

After lunch I had a shower then went to bed with no trews on (evaporation saves the world), then Dicky redid my cream and put my boots back on. Good enuf

Then we have a Folk Club tonight

Less Swelling

And s'morning Ed had to cream my feet and measure my left leg.

Apparently it is now less swollen then it has been for ages

Logging On Crisis

Last night I thought my Dongle was working very well, now this morning I am trying to upload website and it says "Unable to connect"

All day I have been unable to FTP and send email [at 16.23]

Lordy, so I complained to Ed, he unplugged and replugged the Dongle and it works now!!! I am not gonna try downloading music from Amazon again in case it won't work again (they refunded me today as it wouldn't finish) but.... [at 16.49]

Back

Phew, what a day back has proved. 1) I got the hang of all my 'puter stuff straight away, was able to upload, Blog and reopen my Ixion subscription straight away, so it's still working and I can still work it. 2) Still don't have broadband, apparently it will be fixed next Wednesday, ½ a week away. 3) I have just had a bath, the first one I was able to do in nearly a week. I have been washing my bits and pits every night but it is not the same

Graduation

So we have just sat thru Sam's graduation. Just WOW. And Julia shook my hand in kind of "Didn't we do well" way, which was well cool, we are beginning to make our relationship friendship which is cool


(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Totty

So I had to go out with a prune last night.

"Why?"

Because I couldn't find a date

HTH

(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Wow

That Mcr seems rebuilt etc, I can't find anywhere I useda live etc


(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Lordy, just wow

So we are up in Manchester for Sam's graduation tomorrow. Sam came and let me buy his dinner last night, after we had nipped to The Garrett where I used to work, past the student union where I used ta work, past the no longer a BBC building. Just lordy, lordy, lordy, strange memories but it looks SO different


(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

MCR

So we are off to Manchester now to see, and clap at, Sam's graduation, when he gets his first!!!!

FTP failure again

(Sigh)FTP isn't connecting again....(/S)

(Double Sigh)It's after 10pm now and it still won't work....(/DS)

Full Team Visit

Then just after lunch my whole team arrived, one at a time, for one of their monthly About Neil meetings. It is the first time they have been able to come where I live, they used to meet in town but now there is room/space for them all to be in here without being in my face

S'morning

So s'morning I went back to gym which was as gymmy as usual

Out&About

So I am out in Folk Club in Burry Port tonight. It is excellent but sumone said "It's too far for u to come, buy the South Wales Evening Post and read their Gig Guide and find one more local", lordy I was looking in the Carmarthen Journal with no avail so wait and ss

(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Ta Paul

Then to say ta to that Paul chappy I cooked a stir fry with noodles and chilli sauce. It was very delicious

Pauling 3

Then after lunch we had to go back to that T place to try and get a fat persons belt to go with my jeans for Thursday, we only found one, so as a vegetarian I was so fat that I had to buy a leather one

Pauling 2

AND when we were in't shop s'morning Paul said "Do you like scones?", I thought so, said I wasn't sure but possibly so he bought a packet and butter and jammed them after lunch. WOW, yes I do like scones, I haven't had one for nearly 10 years but mmmm

Pauling

So with Paul in't shop s'morning I bought the ingredients to make a chilli fkavoured stir fry with noodles to make tonight for "us" and I took the first of my £20 per week for feeding them, well I only took £10 as I will be away for most of the week but there you are, it was a first

FTPing

And this afternoon FTP stopped working again. So I switched off my PC, went and had dinner and a chat, by the time I came back it was working again

Sunday Dinner

And me and Ed had a Sunday Dinner tonight. Nut roast (1 miniature each), some chopped and mixed ready to boil veg, and some roast potatoes and it was generally delicious.

I was glad that Ed was doing the washing up, especially the tray that contained spuds

Pubbing

And we tried the pub again tonight. There were actually half a dozen residents in the eating bit and 1 resident sat around the corner in the pub bit that I went into. His name is Steve (IIRC!) and he lives at number 12.

He is my neighbour and he was friendly

Food Shopping

Then today we bought ourselves a roast dinner* to make tomorrow night as Timmy was having one of my pizzas tonight.

* Nut roast, loadsa chopped up veg to boil, potato roasted with cheese, just put 'em in the oven

Can

Then Timmy bought himself a can of refreshment in town. It looks like a normal can but at the top is a closable lid. It seems strange, every other can I have ever seen has a ring pull but this one is much more considerate

Shopping

So me and Timmy went to town s'morning. First of all we nipped into Argos and picked up a coffee table that we had ordered, then we went boot/trainer shopping. We actually found some boots that I wanna keep in the second shop but trainers for gym were harder, I can't get wide enough ones to fit over my splint

Dinner

And tonight we decided to try out my new wok and had a stir fried veg with noodle for tea, and it was quick and easy to cook, not very dear to buy the ingredients and absolutely delicious, like food I used to enjoy before my ABI, that nice

Walking

And we came back from 'pool today, i was only be indoors long enough to nap so I left my 'chair in't boot of the car


(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Toast

So because I ran out of Muesli a day before I buy some more this week I had to have toast for breakfast. A) It's very hard to butter now, and B) It's just not very tasty any more. I used to like it but now.....

Bath

And I had another bath tonight. Few nights ago it felt really special and took ages but now it seems to becoming part of my routine again. Tonight I was in a bit of a rush, I thought "Shall I just wash my pits and bits" but then it occurred to me that having a bath wouldn't any longer and I still have to do the "Drying my bottom" which is a struggle. So tonight a quick bath, I still washed my bits and pits and relaxed in my grubby water for a minute

Tonight

And I was sitting outside reading my Kindle earlier when a family walked their dog past.

They all said hello :)


(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Gymming

And I am going to Gym later for the first time since I rejoined the real world...

And it went well, if as much fun as ever. I am so much better at many exercises than many other students, I was the only person there today who has not suffered a stroke. I said to a MOS that I thought of reducing my hours to one session a week but she said "No, one session will be enough to keep you as fit as you are now but as you are improving I should keep that up"

No Wheelchair

So last night after we dropped off Freya we came back here for ¾ of an hour before going Folking. We pulled up outside, I walked from the car into here, left my wheelchair in the car. OK it was only for 45 minutes but still progress, we left my wheelchair in the boot

And today my wheelchair was used at breakfast and ever since then it has been sitting by itself in t'other room and I am walking, pushing my relatively stationary chair

And I got into my 'chair to make lunch then abandoned it again...

And it was after half past three before I readopted it today...

Clubbing

And tonight was the emptiest folk club I have ever seen, finished early as it was empty

(sigh)

Then I thought we would be straight off to folk club with no time for a bath but after we dropped Freya off we had an hour spare, so guess whay I did?

Ex

Then Freya came round to see me, as she is away on Friday when she usually comes and off school today. Her Mum brought her down and came in to admire my house and it was generally just fine. I am coming to terms with not being her chap any more. It has been years but I was unaware for the first ages

Edding - quiet day

So we don't have much to do today, later, when Dicky comes in, we will go to the doctors to a) show him where it is and b) order a repeat 'script for cream for my feet, then show him the dentist

Later today Freya is coming in for tea, as she will be away on Friday, then we will take her and Moishe's daughter to guides

Gymless

And I missed gym today 'cos Denyse came to see me..... oh woe is me.....

Then later today I stood up from bed and walked out of the room, it felt so much more normal that I rather liked it

What a day again, so Denyse stayed here talking about my life etc, then giving Dicky a Working With Brain Injured folk lesson until after we had fetched Toby and Paul cooked a rather nice baked pasta with loadsa cheese and chilli dish for dinner, as me and cooking are in different places

This afternoon, in our discussion Denyse said that they will look into a perching stool for me to use in the kitchen, again losing my wheelchair

And "they" have said that I should have broadband again by the 16th or 18th of this month, hoo-flipping-ray but I want to scream at the delay....

Out&About

So we went out to a Folk Club in Burry Port tonight and it was excelent, esp a group af chaps playing with 1 guitar, one violin and one whistle

And earlier when Timmy was putting cream on my legs he said how much smaller my left foot looks ATM

Bathing Again

And I had an earlyish bath today as we are going out after tea. Good lord, thats the third bath in 3 days

'Mail Crisis

And s'morning I turned my 'puter on, collected email, and for my main account it said "Nah, wrong password". It worked yesterday...... So I went on to BtYahoo and changed my password and it still wouldn't work. In an email they sent to me it said "It might take time, try again in a bit". So I went in t'other room for a bit. Came back and it still wouldn't work. Greeted Timmy, made him a brew tried again and it finally worked

What A Night

So last night I got drunk, Ed nipped to bed, I got more drunk then tried to go to bed. Except I couldn't find the lightswitch to my room. So I sat in the living room for a bit, feeling grumpier and grumpier, until I gave up and found my way in in the dark and went to bed

VBG, v v v v v v v

:) ;) :)

Don't Walk Anywhere

And today, for a bit, I abandoned this chair with wheels thingie, completely. I was able to stand up by myself and walk to my wheeled device without holding on, afterwards

BETTER Walking

Good lord, today I was able to walk about 3 times as well, and as far, as I could yesterday, just not holding on with my left hand as I pass the sink etc, if I continue to get this much better this quickly I will be running up the road after totty within about 2 weeks

Bigger Walking

Well I started walking earlier today anyway and it is already later then the time I stopped walking yesterday but I am gonna carry on for a bit I need to practice, it is good for me

Walkies

So I woke up s'morning, walked to the bathroom without a splint, had a pee, went back to bed.

Later when I got up properly I was walking everywhere again.

When we nipped into town to get more petty cash out I was in my wheelchair, when we came back I ditched it again. Today I am walking alone or with my pushable aid

'Til after 3 today, that's 8 hours of walking

Happy Chappy in the extreme

Gosh it is lovely living here

(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Alarm Clock

So here I am sitting here eating my breakfast at what time o'clock? My alarm clock is no longer set as I dont have to be up by staff coming time so my "You can't get up yet" notification is switched off so whenever I wake up I get up

(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Bathies

And I had another bath tonight. Good lord, can I be this clean?? All went well, with my new bath rack stopping me having to stretch to put soap down etc. All went well until I let the water out, pressed up, got about half way up and stopped going. I had to shout "Help" until Ed came and fixed it, luckily he managed and didn't have to lift me out but the whole thing was unsettling

Walking

So this morning I got up and walked into the kitchen pushing my new pushable chair, then pushed it into dining room etc. After lunch I thought "Enough walking" and sat in my wheelchair for the first time today

But it feels wrong wheeling anywhere so obviously my brain in getting better which it a first step....

More Dongling

And today we had to go to another shop in town to buy another Dongle for them to connect laptop email etc, but this time we gave the chappie the postcode here and he said "Ah you want one of these, then" so we bought it and the connection on that is nearly twice as fast as my dongle so we swapped over as they need next to no interweb connection

Shopping

Then we nipped into town for some bits for them, a dongle to connect their email etc then it occurred to me. Organic Tomato Purée, to make pizzas. Waverley Stores don't sell 'em, Morrison's don't sell 'em, Tesco's don't sell 'em, Lidl don't sell 'em etc...... we had tried every shop for miles around, apart from Aardvark. So we went there, some difficulty getting in but we managed, I asked and she supplied me. Bother, I used to work there but it is not very wheelchair friendly, so I haven't been there for months, but we did it

My First Night

Gosh, so I slept for my first night in the real world last night...... It was a but strange but that's just because I have got used to being somewhere else.... It was cool

'Puter Chair

So today I was able to look at the chair which arrived 2 days ago at Lon Ty Cwm and we finally transported it here today and just wow, it is comfortable to sit in, slightly mobile/turning around when seated in, and walkable behind and pushable, it has a grip on the back and I think I may well walk more rather than 'chairing it now

Napping

I seem to have moved!!!

Buns

Buns. I am sitting here having a cuppa tea and a bun that our new neighbour dropped off earlier

MOS

And I am sitting outside s'morning and a member of Leonard Cheshire staff said "How u feelin'?" and I had to reply "Missing u already"

From An Establishment To The Real World

Today I am moving out of here to a proper (posh) house in a posh street.

Once a month folkism

Then tonight we went to the once a month folk club (noisy) in Carmarthen with an extra MOS shadow shifting and he enjoyed it

Unhectic Nooneraft

Then we hung about here, getting bored, no more moving to do, not going out on principle, just.....

At least Ixion is fixed once more. It went off-air yesterday coincidentally after I disconnected broadband to test my new Dongle, when we reconnected email and web worked but there was no Ixion coming thru....

Hectic Morning #436

Lordy, so s'morning Ed The Tall Person came in, did my feet then started filling yet more boxes with stuff from my kitchen, and good lord, after a few trips it really is beginning to look like my new house

Hectic Day #34.9

So s'morning Tim and Dicky (who is shadow shifting ATM) came in here, they did my feet then we set off for High and Mighty, a shop in Cardiff that is designed for us fatties . It was full of fashionable clothes which were in a sale ATM so I spent £253.02 on a pair of trousers, 2 pairs of jeans, a couple of open necked shirts, a couple of tops to go over that and a coat to keep me dry. Just blinking flip but wow, it was impressive

Then we had a lunch at The Harvester in Cardiff, which was lovely, if I had a veggie burger and chips again

Then went to the PC shop and bought a Dongle in case my broadband isn't working straight away on Friday. Hopefully it will be but I had permission to JIC buy summat

After all this we had to find somewhere to cut a set of keys for Herbie and apparently I am getting a Keysafe in a coupler of days free off my social worker

Sleeping at Herbie

So yesterday I napped in the bed in the guest room at my new bungalow yesterday. As I was getting my MOS said "It's low, call me and I will help u get out". I napped then sat up, thought "It IS low innit, pulled my wheelchair closer so I could reach it with #both# hands and stood up, all by myself

(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Scootering

So at my new bungalow today, when we left one of the neighbours kids, knee high to a grasshopper, was riding his scooter up and down the street outside. He wasn't in any danger and I thought "How lucky are you?". A kid, about 5 or 6, on a scooter in the street out the front of his house? Some of us are lucky to live somewhere that safe.....

(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb(at)btinternet.com too)

Dinner At New House

And today I was a bit concerned during our busyness with moving furniture, I was a bit nervous and said "I wanna go out and eat with Toby because my kitchen is such a mess" but Paul was a bit adamant so we took Toby to Tesco's and bought some stuff then we had the first meal at my new house. Cooked by my staff because I was in a right state but we ate there, thanks to them

Loo Seat

And I eventually got it together to spend a few quid on a new loo seat, one that I can stand up from etc without shouting "Help"

Dicky-ness

And Dicky my new MOS has started work as my assistant today. He is shadow shifting to find out how/why etc

GymLess

And we are not going to gym s'morning as we are a bit busy moving stuff to make Friday easier

Folking

So here I at Llanelli Folk Club like I am 2 weeks a month. We got here, went round the back as usual. Nowt there. Erm... we were about to leave when someome else showed up. Oh, apparently it is in the main bar tonight and not in the back room as usual. Up some steps and it was. Very strange not being in charge as usual but....

So as we r here in a transplanted Folk Club we have got some new fans, who were just here for a beer and have been rather impressed with the Folkitude

Neil The-Hippy www.hippyweb.me.uk

(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb at btinternet.com too)

Shopping And....

Then we nipped to Waverley stores s'morning then nipped to the post office to get a redirect mail form, as we are doing it like this it is proving cheaper than doing it online, which wouldn't work as my bank card address is different than mine now

Then later s'afternoon we nipped back to Shaws the Drapers and bought a blackout thingie which they ordered for us

Back To Normal

So I am back to normal now, someone every f**king day

Crisis

Last night I tried to put my arm splint on but a bit of it has broken off

Ssssh

I am finding it really hard not to talk about my disaster on Ixion

">> At what point is a bike beyond economical repair?

> When you see another bike you can afford and want more"

Or when u r unconscious for months in hospital, like I was

HTFH

Strange Memory

I was reading Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows again tonight and it mentioned the Peveralls (noisy) but I thought Peveril Of The Peak, pub in Manchester and Google says I was right. How strange, I have no memory of drinking there but I must have walked past it on the way somewhere else 20 years ago

Help

Well today, for the first time in ages, no MOS will come and help me. Fair enough. But what is their first duty every day? To tighten up my shoelaces and to tighten up, put on properly, my splint. But no-one here today so I had to ask a member of Leonard Cheshire staff to help......

But what is there to do all day? I can look out the window, go sit out the front, go sit out the back....

Neighbours

Gosh, I can't wait to see one of my female new neighbours, hopefully with said chap attached, when I see them I will say "Gosh, god said 'Love thy neighbour, wow, I think I might have it easy'"

Busy Day

Gosh then we nipped out and it started being well busy etc. First of all we went to the mobility place in Carmarthen to get a new loo seat but we got there at about 12.15 and the sign said "Closing at 12 on Saturday"

Then we went to Curry's to buy a selection of phones for the new place, every room shall have 1, all linked to the same land line but if someone in room 1 wants to speak to room 2 they simply press 2 and it rings differently, just in room 2

Then we loaded Paul's van up and headed back to Herbie The House with another load. Then we came back here for lunch.

Then we loaded more in the van and went to Herbie via a curtain shop where we were able to buy white blackout things to make my curtains work etc and we also nipped into Tesco's and bought some more effective Hayfever remedy. At last we went back to Herbie with a load of bits from the kitchen etc and made up the spare bed for the first time with the duvets etc we bought last night and today

In The Sky With Diamonds

This morning Paul said "We need to go and buy a Lucy..."

"A Lucy?" I said

A "Loo seat" he repeated

Hidden

And when I woke up s'morning I had a song going thru my head...

"Ooooh weeeeee ooooooh,
the brighter the stars in disguise...."

They must be hidden...

Weary 27

Aargh, then after buying stuff we came here and faffed for a bit then went out to Tesco again looking for more furniture for my new house to no avail, then went to Waverley stores and did shopping and met up with Freya, who we took out for dinner as my head is in bits mid move, then we took her over to Herbie where her and Paul spent hours putting together new desks and unwrapped a new filing cabinet etc

Busy

Then after shopping that Toby chap had to come and move some heavy furniture with us

More Shopping

Good lord, this morning we were off buying more furniture and then we came back here and loaded a wardrobe from here too, so the van is looking a bit full ATM

(sent from my phone, please CC hippyweb at btinternet.com too)

Cleverer

That Sam has just emailed me, he got a first in his degree, so phd seems to be calling.......

Nooneraft

What an afternoon. First of all I went to gym where it was really strange talking to stroke victims who are a lot less mobile than me about how I used to be a lot less mobile then they are now, but just keep at it. I did and look how well I am now.

Then we nipped to supermarket, bought some blueberries and salad and a pint of milk to leave in my bungalow because we were going there to wait, so we may as well have a brew

THEN the representative of the bath lift supplier was coming out to try one in my bath, rather he was coming to fit one and let me try it. Just good lord, I immediately bought one off him and want to use it

Morning

So s'morning we have creamed my feet, tried to set up a mail redirection service with Royal Mail which refuses to accept my card so a bit stuck. Ed is currently in the garden trying to beat the melted plastic off the rest of my oven

And he has just about finished nearly all the plastic is off, about 98% so not too bad. As I will be leaving here in about a week I am not too bothered
