My Memory

So I was heading to bed tonight, I came out if the lounge, walked down the hall then remembered. I had left the window in the lounge open, I needed to go back and shut it. By fark, an unexpected memory bonus

Unexpectedly

And we had to pop to the bank earlier and take out loads to pay the window fixer who came yesterday and looked at the job, they are coming tomorrow to mend my now properly closed or properly open windows, including the one that won't open or close since I left them partially open all winter

Walkies

Then l8r on we headed into town for a walk about. Timmy had to call at a couple of shops but we did walk much further than that.
We parked outside Caffè Nero and walked uphill, Guildhall Square, then walked a little way along King St, down Jacksons Lane and back to the car that way

Nooneraft

So after lunch (and half an hour digesting time) we headed to gym. Again I was doing upper arm exercises at full weight and and I managed 3 or 4 minutes longer on the hurting Neil's arse machine. Today I walked all the way up the stairs not much of a problem but I bottled out of walking down as I was trying to bend my right leg first
Again it was as dull as a.... but I am getting better

What A Morning

So first of all I had to pop to the Drs to fetch my 'script. Then as we had 20 mins to spare we walked along King St and we popped into an Art Gallery and raised the tone then we popped to the Toenail Chopper and had that done. Then we came home and will pop back to gym after lunch

Relief

Aah, s'morning it all went as well as can be expected, phew

Tuesday, 22 August 2017

Consti.....

So I went to the loo after breakfast same as usual to have my pooh of the day. Squeezed, squeezed and squeezed. Could only do about 25% of my pooh. It still felt like it was in there so I went back to the loo about 11 to try again. Again squeezed and squeezed. This time I did about the second 25%. So all day I felt that the business hadn't been finished but no pressure to try again. Then after 8 this evening I went and tried again, just half squeezed and the last half of my pooh came straight out. Phew.
Now I am waiting in excitement for tomorrow mornings attempt.....

Deep Sigh

So we went to gym s'morning and I said I thought my neck was well enuf to try some arm exercises and it was, we were up to full strength required etc, so back to normal. The only issue I had was with the machine to finish on. I couldn't do treadmill, my arse is too sore for bike but in the end we got on a pedal by hand machine which was OK. I only did 5 minutes but I think that was enough for today

Duh

So my phone rang s'morning, it was a woman from the toe chopper clinic confirming that my appointment is at 11.30 tomorrow. After she hung up I panicked and thought "It sez Wednesday for the appt in my diary", phoned them back and told them they had phoned, said "See u tomorrow" but I thought the appointment was on Wednesday.
She took a deep breath and said "Tomorrow is Wednesday"
Oh yes......

More UberWalkies

So then after an early lunch we headed east to Aberafon, near Port Talbot. Which was miles away (it took ages to get there and back) but I was able to walk one way on the walk behind the wall above the beach and in the other direction actually along the beach. Which was a bit scary but obviously possible
And it rained all the way from home to Aberafon, stopped raining while we walked about the place, then started raining 5 mins after we were back in the car

To The Docs

Then me and MM had to head into the Doctors and leave in my 'script request as their online version is being updated. Which I then discussed, they took my other form, gave me a print out with details of how to enrol etc. Then I came home and enrolled. So I am in it now, just all the previous 'scripts are missing, but I will fill it in as I need it

New Car

And the chap just phoned me and told me to pick up my new car in a fortnight, it will be ready

Bob

And tonight after I went to bed I am listening to a Bob Monkhouse last ever show and it surprisingly excellent. A smidge smutty but excellent. In fact it is so good that I am not going to sleep until it is finished

Back Out

Then I remembered that I was supposed to nip to the cash machine today to fetch some cash as I spent loads last night when we were out for dinner so we popped into town, parked ½ way along King St and walked from one end to t'other and back, 2 full lengths even tho we were parked half way along. (As in we passed the car on the way to the other end, passed it) So in process we popped to cash machine and looked at every charity shop window but they were all shut

Broken Feeling Better

So when Timmy came into my room to do my Hamstring Exercises I asked him about my extra pillow, saying it felt uncomfortable sometimes. He said 'That was put on when you were 5.5 stone heavier, you might not need it anymore' which cheered me up no-end.
After he left I was undressing for my bath, I moved the extra pillow over to the other side of the bed, and knocked down my bedside lamp from the table. I picked it up and the bulb had fallen out, so 'Timmy' once more

Home On....

So s'morning we popped out for a walk round town but it was drizzling so instead we went to The Range and had a good look round at their millions of "home accessories"

Still Recovering

And today for the first time since last Saturday morning my neck doesn't hurt, I can turn my head fully right and left
And s'morning I walked into the bathroom, put my 'stick by the door and was able to walk the 3 steps to t'loo without holding on, again for the first time in a week

Friday, 18 August 2017

Off Out

And we are popping out in a bit to fetch that Sturit chap and going out for a meal.
Which will be nice, he was one of my closest friends before my accident
Ooh, It was nice. So we had a starter, main course and pudding each, which was nice if a bit fattening

Cream, bottom

So "someone" recommended a cream to make my coccyx hurt less so Mark had the fun job of rubbing it on s'afternoon. Wait and see....

Better In Bed

And in bed s'afternoon I can lie on my right side again, for the first time in a week

Class

So I had a class at gym s'afternoon and it wasn't as difficult and stressful as I thought. Apart from my go on the exercise bike. Oh I stayed on there for about 7 seconds before my coccyx was screaming

Lightning

And night before last (IIRC) there was lightning happening during a rainshower

And Bad Jokes.
Three dead bodies turn up at a city mortuary all with very big smiles on
their faces. The Coroner thought he should inform the Police to tell them
what has happened. 'First body: Pierre Dubois, Millionaire French
Businessman, 60 years old, died of a heart attack while shagging his
20-year old porn star girlfriend. Hence the enormous smile said the Coroner
to the Police Inspector. 'Second body: Hamish McTavish, Scottish, 25 year
old, won £100,000 on the lottery. Spent it all on whisky and died of
alcohol poisoning, hence the smile.' The Inspector asked, 'What about the
third body?' 'Ah,' said the Coroner, 'this is a most unusual one. Paddy
Murphy, Irish, 30 years old, struck by lightning.' 'Why is he smiling
then?' said the Inspector. 'He thought someone was taking his picture.'

Sleep With It

And I slept with the night light on outside, it seems fine and not light disturbing. And when I switched on the bathroom light suddenly it was too bright for this and it switched off, temporarily

Thursday, 17 August 2017

Gymless Day

So as we had a Gym free day today after dinner Timmy got the next section of his "telling me how to....." teaching work and we discussed various things that I was rubbish at but am slightly better now

Trip Out

Then after lunch we headed to Wilko where we bought a new extension lead and a Velcro pad set so we can put up the new nightlights to prevent me falling over at night when drunk, again.
The postman brought the nightlights earlier today. They seem to work but wont know how well until it is dark tonight

Well

So we popped off s'morning to Iechyd Da and fetched my veg, then even before we brought the veg home we popped to the Drs and then a nurse called me in and was taking ages to make the thick gloop go into the syringe, she turned to me and it didn't hurt/take too long or anything, she just injected it into my arse
So that is my testosterone taken care of for another 3 months

How Fat Did I Used To Be

So I am 2lbs short of loosing 5½ stones in the past. Just fark, I am still a chubby(ish) bloke, where the fark did I keep that 5½ stones????

Gym Wonkyness

And we popped to gym s'morning with instructions not to do any arm stuff as my neck/shoulder is wonky. First of all we tried the cycle but I only managed 1 km on that so then we tried the treadmill but again after 10 mins I was knackered

'Net Usability

So yesterday the internet failed occasionally and took ages to connect to my uploading website connection (FTP), whereas today, so far, it has been as quick as a very quick thing

Ouch

So my neck is still hurting but my head is turnable around again. Even tho my neck hurts I can look to both sides again, for the first time since Friday

Tuesday, 15 August 2017

Urk

So when we got there she said Denyse has been on the phone telling me that you fell over at the weekend so what needs doing? She examined all my movements etc then said "Right, acupuncture for your neck, is that OK with you?" and proceeded to stick I think it was 14 needles into me, only one hurt and that was only tiny. While we did various exercises she did say that after next weeks check up class that I am doing so much so well that I can stop coming to see her every fortnight. At a guess it will be every 6 months - a year between classes!!!

Busy Morning

So first thing s'morning we popped down to the Drs to pick up a new script for Asthma Inhaler and I thought "Might as well..." and got another couple of  bottles of chesty scrub even tho we were only just into the last bottle.
So now I am resting for half an hour then we need to have an early lunch and pop off to Pil near Bridgend to see the beautiful physio/nurse lady and I can complain about my neck hurting since I fell over on Friday

Phew

And after yesterdays crisis on a day when  I have washing to do it looks a bit more promising


And the weather forecast person after the news today said it will rain tomorrow, when I have no more washing to do but will be sunny again on Thursday, when I do the next load

Improving

And I have just gone to bed with my armrest thingy on, for the first time since last Friday that I have felt well enough to

Monday, 14 August 2017

Video Crisis

So I saw some folk on the news taking videos with their mobile phones and thought "Yes, I...." and first of all got stuck into trying to sort out my posh camera. After about 3 hours I ended up again on the video settings menu, in the end I asked MM "HTF.....?", he looked, said "Scrap all the alterations, look, and press that small red button next to the picture button". Aargh. Then I spent another 2 or 3 hours trying to put it on my website, loads of different ways, none of which worked, then summat called out in my head "Youtube, there is an upload button at the front....". So in the end I sorted it, and took another similar video with my mobile phone, well no, I took many, upside down, wrong side up etc, in the end I figured out how to do it properly

Weight Training

So I tried to do some ham string weights like I did every day until the disaster on Friday night and I haven't done them since. The first load with only 1 small weight was OK, so I did the second lot with 2 small weights. In the past I would do it with a heavy weight which was the same weight as the 2 small ones AND 1 would use a small one too. So I will try it with just the heavy one to start with tomorrow then move up to both if I can

Headwaying

That was a bit strange. So we got there, looked round and went over to sit with 3 women who were at a guess between my age and 65, all sufferers in one way or another. I lost all 3 games we played but I suppose the point of the afternoon was to connect with them which I think actually did happen

Daydream

Lovely day for a.....


Lordy, yesterday I did a load of washing, hung it out about 3pm and it was dry by the time it was getting dark. Luckily didn't have any washing today....

Getting Better

And I finished my pooh s'morning and went to stand up, thought "Oh, I've left my walky stick on the back of the door" but managed the 3 paces from loo to door without holding on to anything and any disaster. Yes, it still hurt etc but that was the first time I have managed what was a habitual habit since last Friday night

Sunday, 13 August 2017

More Practice

So we popped out walking before teatime

Look, here

It wasn't too painful once I got out of the car and RoyG did say that I seemed to be walking quicker than yesterday so at a guess I am recovering

Mobility Issue

And I am still walking about a third as fast as I used to but my leg hurts less than it did yesterday

Saturday, 12 August 2017

Chopping

And I made the food s'morning that should last for a couple of days but by lord. On two counts 1) I peeled the veg all with my right hand, it seems easier every week, and 2) I am getting so much better at chopping the veg up with my right hand. Even tho one of them was a butternut squash. As easy to peel and chop as a brick
And the food was a bit delicious
We had it tonight with boiled spuds, it is RoyG who is working today and tomorrow so I may have to bake the spuds tomorrow

Maschinenpistole Und Biere

So last night we popped up to the closing pub to try and be supportive. I only had 3 pints and a dark rum but when I got up for a pee, I left my walking stick behind, as usual, but fell over in the hall. (Apparently, I have no memory of this) MM had to help me get back up and my right leg is well sore s'morning, I have strained it at the top.
No blood but harm done
And it is still sore to walk this evening, I can't even take 1 step without my stick which is a lot worse than normal

Friday, 11 August 2017

Odd Dinner

And we had our usual Thursday or Friday dinner of naan bread pizza and chips. But I have already had proper chips once this week so I had to substitute them for sweet potato chips. Which I haven't tasted for ages, I used to have them 6 nights a week (and proper chips the seventh) but recently I am getting into this healthy boiled spuds with my dinner instead

(sings)Isn't She Wonderful....(/s)

And then today I am, after an early lunch, back in Sam's class for the only time this week
Well phew that's finished. It's gob smacking what I am capable of nowadays but still
ex-frigging-hausting too. But I can and will, every week I am a little bit better.....

Thursday, 10 August 2017

Walkies

Then after dinner we headed into town for a walk without any stairs and parked on Lammas St, walked up the hill to King St past St Peter's Civic Hall, back down past Iechyd Da and back round to the car. It wasn't much but I needed some exercise today

Missing You Already

Not that I see you very often but..... hopefully the new owner will get it together

That'll Do

So my speed test is looking OK

Smug

I think I can live with this

Communication Skills

So I said to Timmy what shall we do at gym as I have already done..... this week, he said "Wait, I will think" and came back 5 mins later and said "Me and Denyse were discussing...." and basically I will have a communication skills session instead. What that involves I have no idea but......
We discussed eye contact etc for an hour. I didn't feel that we covered anything that was new to me but perhaps it was a reminder. We have 2 more sessions to go thru at some stage

Lights

So some plug in fairy lights arrived a day early today so we went out, took out the broken ones and replaced them. I went to put the broken ones in the bin and suddenly the bin was full of coloured lights, they worked again. No idea why, they hadn't been working outside but they are now work again. So we put them on the shelf in the utility room switched off as a potential spare set

Usual Thursday Business

So we are off to pick up my organic veg in a bit, then go to MoreReasonsToShopAt.... (noisy link) then go to the fscking gym and do some fun exercises

Still Doing It

And I am still doing that "put right foot on left knee" thing

Wednesday, 9 August 2017

Farmfoodsing

Then we headed out to Farmfoods tonight to fetch some more oven chips etc and I had to top it up with some icecream

Swimless

So as there is no Aqua Aerobics class 'til after summer holidays and the pool is too full of kids playing we are getting different today, I had suggested that we walk round town and nip upstairs and downstairs in some shops but I was told "No....." and the plan is to head gymwards and just do loadsa machines and the rowing machine, which fills me with joy.....
Well I did it then. 4 machines finished off with 25 minutes on he rowing machine to do 2.5km

Tuesday, 8 August 2017

Fitness For Ages

Then today we popped to gym early and I did another 10km cycle. It was nearly or possibly the quickest I have ever done the distance in
But it rained on us as we headed into and out of the gym. After I took a picture of the weather about an hour and a half earlier

Monday, 7 August 2017

Big Walkies

Then s'morning we had a conference about whether to walk early or after my nap, we decided to head out early so we straight away headed East on the M4 for a bit, until we arrived at the coastal pathway here. Then we set off along the path for a bit, then we walked down more stairs onto the beach where I managed to walk for half a mile of so along sand, until the next stairs up. I think we were lucky that the tide had been right in earlier in the day so it was all firm etc. We carried on for ages until we reached the RNLI rescue centre at which point we turned back and walked loads back to the car

New Habit

Even tho the pics are a few days old I still did it again s'morning. A new habit, just getting better in so many small ways

Sunday, 6 August 2017

Marinate-ing

Then the Tofu that's gonna be for dinner two nights in a row, well the first half is marinading in a mixture of soy soz, lemon juice, garlic and ginger. I will fry it up tonight and I hope it will be nice.
After stirring the marinade every half an hour until dinner time  
And it was delicious in the end. Summat that I used to feed to my kids and missus sometimes. Reminded that I used to cook it by Julia, I am grateful. It was fscking lovely

Ooh Look

And as I posted a pic or two yesterday this feels like it is so important, being able to bend my right knee in such a fashion after more than 14 years of not being able to.....
And I did it like this again s'morning, a new habit will be made

Saturday, 5 August 2017

Sturit

Then after an exchange of emails I am going to meet that Stuart chappy in town for a coffee
And we met him in town for an hour and it was much better than him coming here which has happened in the past. We said "Out for a meal", agreed and agreed to email him next weekend to make a date

Uber Walk

So we popped out s'morning to do a bit of shopping in Aardvark, we did that, walked back to the car, put the shopping in the car then turned around and basically walked right thru town, thru the outdoor and the indoor market then right up the hill that used to be the Cattle Market, stopped had a coffee then walked all the way back to the car

Friday, 4 August 2017

Isn't she beautiful......

And I am off to the only class that I have with Sam all week now......
And wasn't it hard work, but slightly easier than last week, it seems to me anyway. I am getting better and better, very slowly but going in the right direction

Government Job

A guy goes to the Council to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, "Are you allergic to anything?"
He replies, "Yes, caffeine. I can't drink coffee."
"OK, have you ever been in the military service?"
"Yes," he says, "I was in Iraq for one tour."
The interviewer says, "That will give you 5 extra points toward employment." Then he asks, "Are you disabled in any way?"
The guy says, "Yes. A bomb exploded near me and I lost both my testicles."
The interviewer grimaces and then says, "Okay. You've got enough points for me to hire you right now. Our normal hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You
can start tomorrow at 10 a.m., and plan on starting at 10 a.m. every day."
The guy is puzzled and asks, "If the work hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., why don't you want me here until 10 a.m.?"
"This is a government job", the interviewer says. "For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that."

Busy Morning

So we had a relatively busy morning. Once MM was on board we headed down to Iechyd Da to pick up my veg then straight to More Reasons To Shop at.... (noisy) to do the rest of my weeks shopping. After we brought it home and put it away etc we headed to the frsking gym and I did mainly arm work on various machines

Tying Laces

And while I was tying my laces I sat up and crossed my legs to make my foot be reach-able. Lordy but that is still seeing like a new practice that I wasn't capable of doing a month ago

Wednesday, 2 August 2017

Tara Freya

Then we went out and bought Freya a dinner. We popped to Hen Dderwen which wasn't bad. Andr where they have a separate menu for veggies. Same products as the general menu but you don't have to look thru 76 meaty items to find yours
And where we followed Freya and were drinking proper fruity cider, none of your Strongbow stuff

Visit

And we popped into the shop where she was working and took her off for a coffee and I fell the need to write much more but I need a sleep now. I was well impressed with the troubles she has overcome. She used to be in a wheelchair too

Dentistwards

So first thing today we have to pop to the chemist next door to the Drs where I left my 'script yesterday for more sockings then we have to go to the Dentist half way along Mansel St in Carmarthen. While I am there we might pop into the 2nd hand shop that I promised that I would visit when the woman who suffered a brain injury is working. I don't think she will be working today but as I can just say "Ah, here it is" and say hi to her Mother who owns it
And we pooped into the dentist. Not even a small filling was required, which was nice. So obviously my new method of brushing is working.

Tuesday, 1 August 2017

Rhian-ning

So we are heading over to see (the beautiful) younger physiotherapist Rhian in a bit. Hopefully she will carry on working on my hands and arms
And didn't she just. We did loads of it seemed random exercises but ultimately they were all to basically fix/mend my right wrist
And it occurred to me later that Rhian-ning is a bit of a come on,
Rhian is her name and Ning used to be my nickname.
Ning the Merciless, Wang the Perverted springs to mind

Sigh

So first thing today we headed over to the Drs to fetch my 'script for sockings. Walked into the chemist next door and they said "Sorry, none today, come back after 10 tomorrow". So I had to say "So will you pay for my parking tomorrow?" and I also had to say that opposite where I was sitting it said "Pain relief" but that was no good to me, my pain was in my heart, looking at all the beautiful staff who work there........

Monday, 31 July 2017

Ouch

And I still have a massive bruise from where I had the blood tests last week

Walkies

Then after nap me and GGtGG headed into town for a walk. When we got there we parked at the end of Blue St/Lammas St, from there we walked along, crossed St Catherines St, up past Debenhams to the top of St Catherines Walk, back down as far as M&S then across to John St, up Jacksons Lane, past Iechyd Da to King St. Along there to the end then back and down past the old Guild Hall back to the car.
It doesn't sound very far but we were walking for more than an hour. But I can walk now, no rest involved

Cycling @ Gym

So we hummed and hawed then in the end we came to gym to exercise instead of swimmimg and when we came in the pool is *full* of kids, there is no way we could have got in with them all. And it is fairy nuff as I have to go see one of the beautiful physios tomorrow instead of gymming
Half way there, 5km to go
And I did it, all 10km of it in, IIRC, just under 50 minutes
But there is a new thing, for the past week or two I have just cycled the 10km without having to stop for a rest, just get on and go kind of thing

Sunday, 30 July 2017

Happy Haircut

So s'afternoon GGtGG suggested to me that I need a haircut and it looks better than before now, he's narrowed the mohawk somewhat

Saturday, 29 July 2017

Where Are We Going?

Later....
So we nipped down to the C&M Organics Thank You Party and it was a bit excellent. First of all we set off for a tour around the farm which I couldn't really cope with, it was too muddy/slippery so we cried off, but it was generally lovely. Loadsa folk just saying hello etc and I had a full on proper dance called by the dance boss which was excellent. Again I am just astonished what I can cope with, do now

Friday, 28 July 2017

Lust

Then I was back in Sam's class. Which was as hard as ever but again I am getting better at it. I thought "Look, no holding on, I did it all in standing position" which I think I thought last week too

THEN

So Freya got loadsa online reaction to the Harry Potter Day while I was having my nap and then going out almost straight away to another Iechyd Da Monthly Folk Night which I did enjoy. There were a couple of newbies that I don't have any memory of and I  was most impressed with a brunette woman playing and singing
Who was there before according to my MOS

Thursday, 27 July 2017

FTF

Well we popped out first thing and fetched the organic veg from Iechyd Da and said "See you later" to them.
Now we are & home for an hour before picking up that Freya and taking her out for an early birthday treat
And we are off in a couple of minutes..... (not that I am excited.....)

S'afternoon

We are taking Freya for a birthday treat today (even tho it is not her birthday yet)
Hopefully she won't look at this and spoil the surprise.....
Ooooh wasn't that good. We had sandwiches, all kinds of Harry Potter tat, some "Beer" stuff, all with a constant Harry Potter theme tune playing. My description isn't impressive enough. We had a lovely time and Freya got loads of online reaction.

Wednesday, 26 July 2017

Ultra Shopping

Then after dinner we popped to Morison's and did the weeks shopping a day early as I will be well busy tomorrow.
First of all to Iechyd Da to fetch the weeks organic veg, then to gym, then taking Freya out for an early birthday treat as she will be away when her birthday comes, then again to Iechyd Da for the once a month folky night (noisy)

More Shopping

Then later at GGtGG's call we went to The Range and bought another couple of Cafetieres for my kitchen cupboard and a couple of little token gifts for Freya's birthday

Paddling

So we headed over to St Clears, to the Llety Cynin Leisure Club to go swimming. It was a bit strange but we got the "family" changing room. I had to do 14 lengths or so because it is so small but we managed.
We will be back there tomorrow with Freya for a birthday treat (even tho it's not her birthday yet, she will be away for that)

Tuesday, 25 July 2017

What A Noon'eraft

Well we headed Docwards and was seen by the nurse. She said she was amazed about how much better I am etc, I am no longer in the type 2 diabetes "range" etc. Frankly she was amazed and pleased.
Before I saw her I popped into the other bit of reception and asked for my 'script. She had no record of my order, the "system" had been broken over the weekend but she said "I will print it out now and try to get it signed before you come out from the nurse. Which she did
Then we popped into the chemist next door and they had only 1 in stock (I had ordered 2) but gave me that 1 and a note about the other. We got into the car and I said "There is no 'when' on here, go back and ask them", he popped back and said "Within the hour". So we headed round town, to buy more mop heads for "him" and to get a card for Freya's birthday then popped back and fetched the other item. Phew, all done but I am way late for my nap.....

Don't Forget

And I must remember to piss in my sample bottle first thing in't morning and take it to show to the nurse at lunchtime
Which I did recall and it is sitting in the bathroom waiting......
And hooray we need to head to gym first and do some exercises. I refused to do the 40 minute cycle that's on my timetable as I need to be still functional after lunch when we are at the Drs
Well we popped to gym. So Roy suggested various machines after doing stretchy exercises and then, to show I wasn't lazy, I went on an extra newbie tool, the hand peddler for 5 minutes

Monday, 24 July 2017

It Rains In Wales

Most days..... a pic of the sky full of clouds

Headwaying

So we are off to Headway again for a sufferers meeting
And it wasn't actually too bad. I decided on the way down to integrate myself with other sufferers, not just sitting with MM and that is what I did. 

Saying Hello

So I was sitting out the front s'morning when one of the neighbours passed. In the past I have had trouble making myself heard 30 feet away but I tried to raise my voice but not be shouting and I seem to have got it right today. I didn't shout but he turned round and replied

Sunday, 23 July 2017

It Occurs To Me

I have thought so recently and it really was brought to my attention today. We popped out in the car s'morning and didn't get back for nearly 3 hours. In the past that would have required loads of stops for the loo but today I didn't pee until we were back home

... And About

So Timmy and I headed out s'morning and first of all we checked out the private shallow swimming pool in St Clears which I think we will try (and pay for) on Wednesday(*) next week. Then we just went a long way round on the way back, even looking over the river to where I used ta live

(*) Monday, my other swimming day, is filled up by a meeting of Headway this week

Saturday, 22 July 2017

Start To Weekend

So Timmy came in today, said "Any plans apart from buying car?" so very shortly after that we headed into the Toyota garage and left less than an hour later having just ordered a new hybrid car. He will be in touch in 2-6 weeks and tell us to pick it up
Just wow etc, that went quickly and well

Friday, 21 July 2017

Unexpected

And Freya txted me today and said "Sat, when we said we would meet. I am actually working 'til 10PM. Today....?" I had to say "Aargh, I am half way thru cooking, meet you in an hour?"...... which we did, went to a pub together and didn't get too drunk, we enjoyed each others company

Less Hectic But Still Hard Work

Then s'afternoon I had the pleasure (?) of one of Sam's classes. What can I say, fecking hard work but ultimately worth it

Hectic Morning

So first of all today we have to go to the Drs for my blood test (and get a piss container), then we have to head to Morriston Hospital in Swansea to get the replacement FES device, then we need to go to gym to Sam's once a week class
Well the start of the day went OK. We went to the Docs for jab which only took 5 mins then we were off to the FES Clinic in Swansea where "they" had left another FES controller to be swapped for my broken one. That was easy and we are now in the car on the way back for lunch before Sams class where I will wear the new one

Wow

And Timmy took a call s'afternoon and basically the chap said "We have got a spare FES, come and fetch it tomorrow, swap for the old" so after my blood tests in the morning we will head to Swansea before I head to gym class

Trip Out 3

Then later we tripped out again to B&Q to get a new toilet flusher for the staff loo which Timmy fixed. Well apparently
No, he has demonstrated it to me, ooooh

Trip Out 2

And when we were in Iechyd Da s'morning she said "You coming here tonight for the gig?". The answer was a big "YES"

Gymwards

After we had brought the shopping home we headed out to gym where I did about 80% of my 10km cycle ride as it was switched up even higher than before

Trip Out

So first thing s'morning we headed into town and first of all we popped to Caffi Iechyd Da to fetch my weekly delivery of Organic Veg which is delivered to them with their delivery. And I did say "See you later" to them, too
Then, same trip out we went to Morrison's and got the rest of my shopping

My Vision

And yesterday from the car I was just glancing at two women as we passed them. I looked, kind of up and down, just being nosey. As we passed further suddenly I could see, like surprise surprise, another woman walking with them who was about one pace to the right. I hadn't seen her during my concentrating look at the 2 women to the left.
Sheet, that's why I can't drive if my vision is that fscked, there's bits missing
