Headwaying

And we are off to another Headway meeting s'afternoon so I am trying to be a bit eager.....
Well wasn't it more fun than swimming. It was as special as ever but today there were a couple of newbies who we played Rummikub with. And I won a game today so summat must be getting better at this thinking malarkey

Incredibubble

And I watched that Blue Planet 2 series, episode 3 t'other night and I am just so impressed with the camera technology to take such interesting and informative shots, you really do learn stuff from watching

MagicMark Outdoors....

And when mark came in I felt the need to point out the unclean-ness of the windows, so he is busy cleaning them as we speak.....

A Cold.....

..... and frosty morning

Stickless

So I walked from the kitchen, where I had just finished my brekky, into the bathroom, to have my morning pooh, without my walky stick, I left it in the kitchen

What's Going On?

And I watched the last 3 frames of what sport on ITV 4 tonight????

I'm Pleased With It

So tonight after I did the washing up, wiped the sides etc I looked at the floor. Yes, 3 or 4 muddy marks. In the past I would have had to shout "Timmy" (or whoever) but tonight I just reached out to my spray mop and cleaned the floor up. It must have taken 3 minutes or so
We did own one (or two) of these in the past but they have been broken for...... 6 or 9 months or summat so I had forgotten what a useful tool they are

He Won The Argument

So I was having my usual moan at Timmy today and I was complaining about "them" having to keep an eye on me while I am cooking. He said "Yes, but..... one of your hands doesn't work as well as you want and your vision isn't very good. That's why we gotta"
Yes, I can't disagree with any of these points, I think he won the argument. I had thought he was gonna say it was due to my stability on foot but no, that's not an issuer

The economic hardship, alienation, loss – and worse – that motivated so many have to be tackled

We’ll never...

Emotional

So someone on Facebook had put a link to a song, which I listened to today. Lordy how emotional, I haven't heard that song in about 20 years but I still new all of the words (noisy link) about soldiers dying, and worse

Crazy Weather

So I am looking out the front window at the deep puddles on the road as it was raining heavily a couple of hours ago.
Look upwards and you see an almost cloudless blue sky
Aargh, I have eaten my lunch and it is raining again

First Thing

And first thing today I did my "cooking for the rest of the week" ritual and made loadsa food which, when it's ready I will divide up into 2 days worth and freeze the rest. I usually do the cooking ritual on Saturday but as we were out last night for dinner* I didn't
* Even if Wales lost

Saturday, 11 November 2017

Toasty...

.... and warm tonight

Out For Dinner

And as Wales are playing rugger at dinner time tonight we are going out to my local pub to watch it (and try and be sociable) and have dinner therefore there
When all is said and done we lost

Shopping

So we had to pop to town to Savers to fetch more mouthwash etc then we headed down to Wilko and bought a spray mop device for much too much cash.
For the whole trip we parked up on Lammas St across the road from where we were heading and did it all in one go. It occurs to me that I used to have to plan our trips out with minimum distance walked etc. Nowadays I just head into town, distance twixt shops etc is now not as much of an issue

Bit Sad

Right. OCD.
So first of all I passed all of last months (which I have already bragged about) but now I am just over a third of the way through getting all this months passed. Yes, I think it is good and clever etc it is proof that my head is getting better
Which might all be true but there is an element of OCD in publicizing it like this

Friday, 10 November 2017

Out Tonight

So we popped out to a lot fuller than last year bingo do at the hall. It was raising funds for the school etc so one just paid loads etc.
We first heard about it when a neighbor came round to post summat through my door but actually knocked, which one does appreciate, letting me know etc
I didn't win any bingo but I did win a raffle prize which one of my kids will get for Xmas too
But I think last year I just had to play just one bingo card at a time but tonight I bought a book of 5 games and coped, I could manage. Dunno if it is my eyesight that's improving, my scribbling or my memory or what but I could just do it this year

Sigh-ness

So we need an early lunch today so I can digest it before going to the Stroke Class at gym at 2PM
Well we went and was testosteroned the whole way through. Today it was taken by Christina instead of Sam but she too is in the "What can u do now?" school of thought 

Thursday, 9 November 2017

Testoser-oh-bollocks

Then we popped to gym where I was rowing distance again. But being full of testosterone after my jab s'morning I was as quick as a quick thing. Again no rests, just did it

What A Morning

So first of all me and Timmy set off about 25 to 9 heading for the Drs. As the traffic is so heavy at that time of day we arrived at 5 to, just in time. So we had my blood taken then queued up again to see if anyone was free to jab me, instead of sitting there for an hour, which there were so she stuck a needle in my arse
Actually I was rather impressed with how steady of the hand both injectors were today, it didn't hurt too much
Then we popped to Iechyd Da where I bought Timmy a coffee as we had to wait 10 minutes for the deliverer to arrive. As it had messed up the timing, going to the docs so early
Then we popped to Morrison's where I bought the rest. They had changed the na'an bread for pizza again, but I think we bought a successful result

Wednesday, 8 November 2017

Everyone's A Winner

I have just won an ebay auction for a pair of Xmas boxer shorts. £1.30 + £1.50 postage it is

Later

So after that crisis we are off to a swimming class today at 2pm.
Hip Hip McBollocks or summat.....
And oh wasn't it fun. But as GGtGG said "Well at least you know it is doing summat for you"

Today?

And the interweb has been broken since breakfast time s'morning and I have just had my lunch
Well I had an early lunch as we are heading to swimming class later but it is working again now. MUCH relief.....
And much relief, I have been able to get on it again for about an hour. But I haven't read a single email, I have been updating my 'site, updating my blog etc etc

Tuesday, 7 November 2017

Finish It?

So we are off to the Man's Club to carry on work on my bat box. Dunno it it will be finished tonight, dunno how long it is gonna take
No, not finished yet. So RoyGBiv had to spend ages cutting grooves into the wood for bats to grip on, because I just couldn't cut owt with a hand saw. I tried repeatedly but I think my arm broke and they thought I was gonna die so they didn't put it together properly or summat, it just doesn't work very well. But Roy made all the grooves look proper, so next week we will put it all together

Here We Go.......

 So here we are cycling like a super fit cyclist.  I have got about another 8km to go
7 now
Down to 4.5 to go. Hoo-flipping-ray
Well I did it. Again without stopping for a rest, just cycled on and on, and got a lot faster the last 4km

Jim-ing

So @ gym today I am due to do miles (well 10km) of cycling but I am not going to try going quicker this week as I have just gotta sort of settle down, not trying to go faster and faster every week as I am already loads faster than a couple of months ago

Monday, 6 November 2017

Gunless

But if he hadn't had a gun he would have killed 2(?) people, Mr Trump

Waterworks

So hopefully she will actually be here this week so if so then I am attending my first "Waterworks" session in the pool at the gym later
Well that went well. Lordy she does different exercises but I feel it has done me sum good. And we did a 'stand on your right foot, move left foot forward and bend the left leg' exercise where my right heel was staying on the ground*. My tofustrings are the best they have been in 15 years or so
* First time it has stayed down since my accident, so it was an important event

Shhhh

And as we were coming out of somewhere yesterday a small kid passed me and said "He's a pirate!" to which I replied "Shhhh, keep it a secret"

Chicken Dinner

And last night I finally finished last months daily puzzle games, this is quite unusual to complete a month

Mended

And the playing music PC in my bedroom has proved very hard to switch on for months now, needs pressing the button in time with gord nose but this last week it seems to have fixed itself, some update or other has fixed it

Cold

And my phone says it is -1° when I woke up s'morning

Sunday, 5 November 2017

Theraputic

So s'morning we popped into town, sat in the car for about 3 minutes 'til the rain stopped then we walked miles and back, from Lammas St, past M&S, up through St Catherines Walk shopping centre to the very top, then back, and it stayed dry until were coming home and it started to rain again, then it stopped again by the time we reached home

Fireworx AGAIN

Sorry, my mistake as they were saying on the radio all day yesterday how loadsa fireworx last night but tonight we will head down to the B&Q car park and look over the fence at....
Well it wasn't bad. The B&Q car park was full of folk watching the fireworks for free but it was an impressive enough show. As ever I was ready to go home having seen 2 seconds but we stayed through more bangs and flashes 'til the end

Saturday, 4 November 2017

Double Fark

So I got an email tonight offering me many disabled aids, like loads
What will they think of next.....(This seems particularly relevant to me, I had to learn to use my left hand....)

Fireworks

So Roy had kind of insisted that we go out and watch some fireworks but I wasn't bothered. He knackered himself *so* much cleaning up around the house that he hasn't mentioned it tonight.
Which I am not bothered about, at all

Cooking On My Own Two Feet

So this morning I have been back and forwards about the kitchen, peeling veg, stirring the pan, chopping veg etc making loadsa food and I have been walking backwards and forwards without my walky stick and without holding on at all about 90% of the time, just getting about the kitchen on my own two feet

Friday, 3 November 2017

Relax

So then we headed to the local pub to try and be sociable on a Friday night. There was 2 couples sat together eating and eventually playing pool and just the 2 of us sat on the other side, in the end watching rugger on't telly
So there was me trying to be sociable and there was no one there to be sociable to

Isn't She.....

So while I was in Sam's class today she was doing a "stand with your feet apart" exercise. I caught her attention later and said "It just doesn't work for me, trying to stand like that" and she said "Ah, that's probably because....... you need to do this" which although I didn't have a chance to try did make complete sense to me and I think as that follows on from loads of other advice I have been given that it makes complete sense.

Hectic Day Started

So s'morning I started off with a hurried, very early, lunch then popped out to Lammas St to the toenail chopper and what can I do other than kind of moan uber-gratefully and kind of moan "Forever in your debt"
Then we popped to the Drs and said "Someone contacted you for a proof that Neil is still alive letter for his claim" and they said "Posted it to Anthony t'other day" so again I made grateful noises then left
Then we went straight to gym for my class
Then we panted a bit and said "Glad that's done"

How Posh

So today I was searching on the interweb and this came up, lordy, how posh and how clever must you be

Thursday, 2 November 2017

Intimidating Morning, in the morning

Then tomorrow I need to have an extra early lunch then we are heading down Lammas St to the toenail chopper then popping to gym for a class almost straight away afterwards

AM Busyness

So we have the usual Thursday morning business today, to Iechyd Da to fetch my organic food then to Morrison's (noisy link) to fetch the rest of my shopping then to gym for some stressful workout
Well that went well enough. So first things first me and Timmy headed to King St, were able to park without too much delay, and walked down to Caffi Iechyd Da, it had just finished raining. Now as the newbie who took half my veg away t'other week now knows, my box was sitting on a table by itself, waiting for me, when we got there. So we fetched that and then popped to Morrison's where I again didn't have a load to buy, it was cheap this week
THEN after I had put it all away etc we headed to gym where I got stuck into cycling 3.25 KM again, this week I just got stuck in from the start and did it about 2 minutes quicker than last week

Wednesday, 1 November 2017

Opened My Eyes

This program is very long but as I get thru it I am feeling more favorable about These Punks.
If you are gonna watch it leave an hour aside to watch it all

To Gym, To Gym, To Buy A Fat Pig

So we popped to gym to a different but similarly levelled class. Which was meant to be taken by someone else but actually had That Sam in charge. There were some familiar exercises and some new ones which Sam had to explain. And yes, I feel knackered but healthier, same as usual

Hoo-flippin'-ray

So as it is all confused by half term at gym and there is no swimming class today I had thought we would go out for a long walk today but GGtGG has just arrived and says "There is another worker running a class at the same level as Sam at 2pm today, we are going to that".
So I thought "Yo"

Tuesday, 31 October 2017

Off Out

And we are off in a bit to try and make a bat box at the Men's Club in Ferryside
Ooooh. Didn't I do well. We dug out a piece of wood, marked all the cuts on and cut it into about 8 "bits" for the box. That has been left on the side there for next week's nail gunning
And wasn't it extra fun using the "cutting it" tools, powered ones again

BT Feck Up

And the BT Broadband has gone down tonight, for the past hour anyway, still nowt.
And RoyGBiv went outside to phone {1} them and see if there was a problem. When he came back indoors I said "They are sorry, they know there is a problem and they are trying to fix it as quickly as possible?". He said "Yes, pretty much"
 {1} As his mobile doesn't work indoors here
And we popped to the Men's Club and came back and the Broadband was back

Restful

As we have already done the cycle we have a restful nooneraft then to Ferryside Men's Shed Club where I have the design to take of a bat box after making the bird box last week

Uber Cycle

So it was a bit strange going to gym s'morning but I think that many of the kids were away doing some kind of outdoor fun as the weather wasn't too bad so I went in and did a mega cycle, 10km. On the way I warned RoyGBiv not to be looking too closely at my time as my leg was so hurt over the weekend but actually I made it under 50 mins which wasn't too slow

Back To Normal Now

Lord, I feel a bit strange after the messing about yesterday and I do feel that I haven't slept very well but there you go. So it is all back to..... and it is Tuesday already even tho yesterday felt like a Friday or summat

Monday, 30 October 2017

Swimming Woes

So we popped to gym later than usual for a swimming session that had been moved cos it's school holidays and it was fscking cancelled. So we got in anyway and did sum exercises

Less Sore

And my right leg is noticeably better today, as it was predicted. Still a bit wonky but not half as much as yesterday

Marginally Scary

So a bit of a strange day today. So s'afternoon we are heading to WaterWorks for the first time. It is like AquaAerobics but with a different teacher. So I will have a shower after that then come back here for a late lie down then off to pick up that Freya who is just down for a weekend then take her out for dinner.
I think she was down to babysit her ex-step fathers brothers(?) kids but they are all too poorly to do owt and she had already bought train tickets so she came down to stay with her Mum for a few days
So she came down (Well, we fetched her), that was nice, we had a pleasant night

Sunday, 29 October 2017

Much Better

And my right knee, which I made sore yesterday 'cos I was doing so much stuff during the class on Friday, is much better today. Still hurts some but not half as much
So later we popped into town so GGtGG could fetch some printer paper. We parked on Lammas St as usual and walked to the paper shop. But I insisted on it being therapeutic for my wonky leg and walked uphill past the court onto King St, then round and down by Iechyd Da and back to the car that way

Not Scary, Useful Memory

So s'morning I woke up and just remembered, Gord nose how, to wash my bedsheets. Years ago I used a have to stick notes on the inside of my bedroom door to remind myself, since then my memory is just getting "better"

Saturday, 28 October 2017

Scary Memory

So I was walking into the kitchen earlier and out of nowhere I remembered that I used to have a chair next to my cooker as I was too poorly to stand up and cook for half an hour
Scary memory

Toasty

It was nearly frosty last night

Friday, 27 October 2017

Dim Shout-io

So we have worked summat out. I haven't raised my voice, shouted, at MM even once today. He must have learned not to challenge me at all or summat

I Was Winning....

Further into the game, I still lost but......

Gymming

Lordy, so I went to gym to my weekly class today. Yes, it was as much fun as usual but..... fark..... So a) I was on the larger of the two steps and I stepped up and down for 2 minutes and only had to hold on with my hand 3 times, like grab and release again. I was going up & down the big step just balancing on my legs. *And* 2) I was eventually able to go up and down both sides of the sideways one without holding. I say eventually as it was harder but I did it in the end.
I did the rest of my exercises leaving my walky stick lying on the floor next to me too, all balanced by myself
So yes, my right knee feels as if it has been beaten up after all this but it still keeps me walking

Posh Html

So someone sent a link to a page which I glanced at. There is a part of me that goes "UberWow". So when you scroll down the page the txt moves quicker than the background image. I suspect it is some javascript cleverness but it did rather impress me (Doesn't work on some mobile phones)

Thursday, 26 October 2017

Usual Thursday

So first things first we headed to Iechyd Da and were on the third trip down King St before a parking space appeared. Actually two next to each other. So again "they" hadn't taken loadsa veg out of my box and put it away. AND I said "See you later(1)" too. THEN we popped to Morrison's where I bought the rest of my weeks shopping. So then we brought it home and put it away etc
Then before lunch we popped to gym where I did 3 and a quarter KM on the rowing machine, the new usual distance. But again I am just getting better at it
 (1) Open Mike night tonight

Tory Wisdom

How Wise

Wednesday, 25 October 2017

Mobile Version

So first of all I linked seperately to a web page and a mobile phone version as there were some graphic issues. THEN I discovered in my already owned files how to do a phone version from the same URL, so I was able to take away the second link, knowing however you look at this that you get a visible version

Farmfoodsing

Then we popped out before dinner time and headed to Farmfoods and picked up more really cheap chips and some baguette pizzas. And DON'T MENTION IT some ice cream

It Feels Odd

So s'afternoon I got changed for the pool so I am just wearing socks, no sockings until I come home later. 
It just feels different in some way.....

Boxing

So I said to GGtGG that I want to head into...... B&Q? and fetch some screws and a hook and eye so we can put my birdbox up but he said "No, I have loads, instead of having to buy 100 to use 2 I will bring you in some on Saturday and I am sure there is some H&E in my cupboard"

Early Lunch

So in a bit I will eat some early lunch, then go and get changed into swimming trunx and clean clothes then in a bit longer we will head to Aqua Aerobics class/session
Hoo-flippin'-ray
And wasn't it fun, today with Llinoss, the woman who usually takes the extra Mondy class too. 
And I did today.... well there is one exercise they do where you put one leg forward and the other back and today I managed to get the heel of my right foot down to the ground, when it was in the back position. Summat I have been trying to do unsuccessfully for some years now but I managed it today

I Wanted Some Chocolate

So I was heading to the kitchen thinking "I want to get fatter and unhealthier" wanting a big piece of chocolate but instead I ate an apple.
WTF's going on with my head???

Tuesday, 24 October 2017

Finished

So that was the last of a series of busier and busier days. Finished now. Tomorrow it only sez 1 thing on my diary. OK it is fscking Aqua Aerobics but just that to do

So Next Week We Will Make.....

So this week I finished making my bird box and I am well proud of it. I thought I wouldn't be capable of owt and yet look at it. So when we hang it, hope for loadsa residents

Blinkin' Flip

So I have just bathed, napped, got my FES put on, hung out the washing, and now in 6 minutes we need to leave for the hospital in Llanelli
PITA.  And what a pain that was going to see the doc re my testosterone. Basically he didn't say or do anything useful. So we are headed back, I will cook then we are off to Men's Shed to hopefully finish my bird box

Cycling

So I have another 8km to cycle before I am finished having so much fun
Only two and a half now......

Busy Day

So today I need to do my mega gym, have lunch, have an early bath&nap then we are off miles East to see a Dr who is discussing my Testoserone jab, how effective it has been etc, then after dinner we are off to that Man's Club in Ferrryside to, hopefully, finish my birdbox

Monday, 23 October 2017

New Battery

And today I had to change the battery in my "switch lamp half way on" device which I have owned for 9 months IIRC and haven't had to do before. It was quite easy but it retold-me how important a replacement and is currently spare one iyswim

Good Game, Good Game

So I thought "What can I play as well as solitaire?" and downloaded on my mobile phone a free snooker game. Which took me a few days to master how to actually play it but now....... well tonight I was playing against the "Easy Bot", a kind of built in player, and early on in the game I was actually winning!!!!!

Headwaying

Then we headed off to a Headway Swansea meeting where we actually talked to a chap the whole time without playing games. He was a Brain Injury sufferer (Knocked off a pushbike years ago) and it was interesting talking about having that "get better" attitude instead of lying back in a hospital bed

My Brain Is Improving

And I have noticed a bit recently but today's evidence is so strong that I must tell you....
So s'morning before I got busy I got my clean clothes and put them in my bedroom so I could change after I had my bath later. Later on I just remembered they were there and came into my bedroom to start the bath process without bringing a duplicate set with me.
Like I would have done last year. It might not sound much but it is clear evidence that my memory is improving
OK, I didn't bring duplicate clothes nor did I have to peek into my bedroom first to check if I had done it

Ho hum

And we are off to Headway Swansea in a bit. Hooray but it is better than swimming in a not class.
So next week it is half term so no swimming but week after that I might try the other Aqua Aerobics session too?
Well that was OK. We didn't play any games, just sat talking to a chap called Bryn who was knocked off a push bike years ago. But he understood brain injury, having suffered one himself. It was interesting talking about this as most folk don't know how awful it can be etc. He was saying that his home language was Welsh, he didn't learn English until he was in school and when he woke up from his coma he couldn't speak English, just in his "Native tongue" of Welsh
And beside that, as usual we were sitting on seats that are so low that I used to be against using them at all, standing up with the use of a stick was still difficult but today I did it free-handed as it were, standing up then reaching for my walking stick. (OK, it took me 3 attempts but I did it)

Sunday, 22 October 2017

Walkies

So we are heading off to the coast by Swansea (?) today for a long walk 'cos it's therapeutic
 
Well we did it. We parked opposite Joe's Ice Cream Parlour and walked kind of East-South-East for about an hour until we reached Verdi's but it was well too busy with folk having to queue so we walked back the way a bit to The George where we had a delicious lunch served to us in about 2 minutes.
Then we walked in the opposite direction for another three quarters of an hour but this time we stopped at Joe's Ice Cream Parlour and had a small refreshment before going back to the car and heading home.
AND we were out for about 3 hours walking and dining and I only pissed once when we were out, held in until we got back. Almost as well as a normal person
And it was raining on us some as we walked but I had instructed MM to bring the brolly from the boot of the car so he held it over my head quite effectively, while it rained on his head

Saturday, 21 October 2017

*NEARLY* Not Runny

And my runny nose is loads better today. Still running slightly more than "not at all" but much less than yesterday

Winner Today

So yesterday there were two "error" codes there, then I solved them one after the other. Dunno why I was "being so clever" or what

But...

BUT I am being rather impressed with how easily/well the new knifes cut through veg

So.....

So s'morning I changed the bed, the bed clothes are nearly dry now.
Well, while we were eating lunch the beeper went off and said "Dry now" so MM is doing his thing.....
And I made another batch of food but this time I cooked it all for a couple of hours then took out 2 containers worth which I will put in the freezer when it's chilled a bit more. To stop someone's wife saying "You can't eat that, it's too old"

Friday, 20 October 2017

Gymtastic

Then I popped to my gym class s'afternoon and it went as much better than last week as it has been doing for some weeks. Again walking with stick and putting it down to do all kinds of scary exercises etc.
And we did sort out that there is an Aqua Aerobics class on Monday from 2.45 'til 3.30. So I think that after next weeks Headway session I shall try that too. Dunno, if it seems better fun than Headway I might swap permanently, dunno yet. Oh it is called Waterworks or summat, but I think the rest of my timetable will look the same, just change that

Cleaning Up

And GGtGG has been cleaning up outside all morning, scrubbing between stones to remove all the extra weed/plants that are trying to take over. I have given him the car keys so when he has finished this section he can move on to beneath the car

Still Runny

And I have used and thrown away 5 or 6 tissues already today, I have been up for an hour and a half so far....... Fscking flu jab

Thursday, 19 October 2017

Na'an Strangeness

And we couldn't buy Single Massive Na'an Bread today, like we did last week, there wasn't any for sale. So instead we bought 2 single smaller (but much bigger than the original ones are these days) pepper and posh foreign cheese ones. Dunno, see how they are tomorrow

Xtra

And I popped to gym and did an extra quarter kilometer on my rowing, so now I have a new distance to row every time I am rowing. For now, then it will go up again. But I think I will have to be stroppy then and say "Enough" and go for a walk or summat as I am bored with rowing for so long
But I did notice today that I didn't have to stop to get my breath back at any point today, I just did it from start to finish. After sitting down for 14 years my fitness is starting to come back

Runny Nose

And as an after effect of my flu jab yesterday I have got a runny nose today

Dun It

So we headed off to Iechyd Da first s'morning, bit of a struggle to get into the parking space but we managed. And this week the MOS knew that was my order, leave it alone......
And afterwards we headed to MoreReasonsToShopAt..... (noisy link) and did the rest of the weeks shopping

Wednesday, 18 October 2017

Off Out

So we went to my local pub tonight but it was shut. So we headed into town, avoiding the pub I useda drink in when I was in the care home, instead we made it to The Old Oak (in Welsh Yr Hen Dderwen) on King St in town. It is relatively busy

To The Docs Too

Then today immediately after nap (if I have time at all for complete nap) we have to go to the Docs as he is checking me up on my diabetes, a review
Well I had a good aqua aerobics session and there is only time for 25mins rest before I'd better get ready for docs
Well we went and did it. He said 'Yes you're doing well' and gave me a flu jab and that was done

Cleaning

And GGtGG got stuck into cleaning all the dust off the car today, it looks a lot more respectable now
And I found some mess on the inside of the window in the kitchen and was just able to rub it clean with a tissue

Akwa Ayrobikz

Hooray. So I have to go to the Aqua Aerobics class today and ask her about the other session, whether I can make it to both as Timmy has decided that I need a diary refurbishment.
So we need to ask Sam about going to a different session re gym too.......

Tuesday, 17 October 2017

Wow

So I went along to the Men's Club tonight thinking I was gonna have to do some cutting with a saw etc. Just by gord, one of the assistants was helping me most of the night and I used power saws, power drills, nail gun etc and made my bird box almost completely. It needs to be treated with some treater and some hinges put on for the top.
But just by god, I thought I wouldn't be able to do much as I am "a cripple".....

As If By Magic

And MagicMark cleaned all the dust off all the windows today. Lordy, it looks loads better, they got really dirty yesterday afternoon

Chaps Club

Then when we pop to Men's Club later I have got a design of summat to make which we will take along and see whether there is enuf spare bits of wood to cut this out or whether we need to buy some and bring it next week
The design I am taking is for a bird box, potentially if that goes well there is also a design for a bat box

Docs

So off to the docs first of all to pick up a 'script for me then off to gym and, I suspect, do another mega-cycle
Ho hum. So we went to the Docs first, picked up the 'scripts, into the chemist on the way out and picked up the goods. Some of which I am in charge of and some of which I gave to MM to put "away" for future use
Then we popped to the gym and mega-cycled. Again my head is a bit disconcerted about how much better at this I am compared with a few weeks ago
