Got One

Then the postman brought me an envelope which I had forgotten to be worried about where it was for a few days, I opened it and it contains the new cover for my FES device that broke last week

Miles And Miles

So s'morning we are having such fun on the bike @ gym. I have another 8km to go. Hip hip.....

Down to the last km now...

Miles

Oh what fun, so today on my diary it sez  "Goto gym and cycle for miles and miles" today. Hip hip hoo-fscking-ray. Looking forward to it sooooooo much......

Then tonight we are heading to The Parrot pub/gig venue tonight for a West Wales Everything Group quiz thingy.....

Oh What Fun

And I have had a..... day today. Me and Timmy went to the Headway Swansea meeting today where we played a numbers matching game, Rummikub. Again I didn't do very well as my vision in wonky but with assistance from the woman playing next to me I did win one game

Again it does my head in a bit, being there to "make friends" but we did it

Cleaner

So a couple of days ago I spilt about an inch of orange juice from the bottom of my glass over the table. GGtGG cleared it up but although he had cleaned it properly the surface of the table didn't feel quite right. I looked in the cupboard and found some Pledge and got stuck in by myself. Took all the coasters off, all the place-mats, my I-pad, took it all off and got stuck in

Walkies

So me & MM went out to town for a walk s'morning. As I am a bit bored of the existing routes we headed down King St and got a place in the first disabled parking slot. So we got out of the car and I pointed back up the street past the library. So we walked there, crossed the carp ark entrance and carried on to the end of King St. There we turned left and carried on along Priory St (I think it's called). We walked along there for ages until we came to another roundabout, there we turned back and up the gentle hill. Which is easier for me than going down a gentle hill. Back along and around to  the car

Not Usual Sheets

So I woke up s'morning and changed my bed. Usually we wash and put the sheets back on the bed. But today when the washing finishes we will be off at a Headway Swansea meeting which I will come back from and need straight into bed. So I explored, found the other sheets and asked GGtGG to fit them

Fark. Well me and MagicMark left here about quarter past 10 and drove for ages to get there. As I didn't have to stop for 2 pisses on the way summat is better but they has been the case for ages now. Anyway we arrived, first of all got into a big room with loadsa folk sitting about, had a brew and "chat with strangers" (as instructed) then we had a nice lunch. THEN we headed thru into the god botherers area where we sat at the back of the church playing all kinds of instruments. After an hour of playing about we decided to write a song. (Noisy) Which was good clean fun

It was nearly 5pm before we got back, luckily (after late bath and nap) I had a saucepan full of "prepared yesterday" food

At Last

And I eventually found out again how to do a mobile phone version of a webpage which is subtly different to a desktop version

Tesco's

Then we had to pop to Tesco's tonight to fetch some more printer ink and white board markers for the staff. GGtGG took the staff card with him and purchased it

Multitasking

So tonight I have not only made different pizzas than I have made before ('cos the shop didn't have one of the key ingredients yesterday) but I also cooked the rest of the weeks food which I was due to do tomorrow but we will be out at Headway Swansea all day

And I did both tasks at the same time

Samless

And off to gym in a bit for my weekly class. But Sam isn't gonna be there, the class will be taken by the very beautiful and too young for me to letch at woman

(Who is over 16 so letching is OK but.......)

Well that went OK. It makes my head want to explode when faced with how much better I am week after week after week

Sigh

Then before lunch we headed to gym where I did my usual Thursday trick of 3.25 km on the stationary bike

It was impressively fast today, no one came past that I could speak to so I just got stuck in and did it AQAP

Busy Thursday

So we have the usual Thursday AM "getting Shopping" things to do

And didn't it go well. Up to King St first, got the closest parking space to Iechyd Da, went in, said "Where is it?" and before they could reply someone followed us in with some boxes of veg

Then we popped onto Morrisons where again I just had a minimum to buy

I Had To Look It Up

Because in my head the thing they fit to my leg was called a Fucking Electrical...... and I thought "That can't be right!!"

Last Thing

And my Dad 'phoned me tonight and said that everyone in Belfast with a 'puter was very impressed by my reading at Sam's wedding

Out/Up Stairs

Then we headed into town for a walk about. We parked up on the corner of Lammas St then walked down the street until we came to the steps up to Merlin's Walk. GGtGG suspects that I have walked down them but never up, so I tried it. Absolutely no problem, up 3 flights of steps to the top where we walked along the "new" shopping arcade and back to the car

Last Of Dinner

And we had the last of the frozen food for dinner tonight which is good as I will start cooking it again in the next couple of days and I had the last of the orange juice out of the fridge tonight but as we will be shopping tomorrow morning that's perfect "use of products"

Tying It

And I got stuck into the greenhouse with GGtGG's advice. So I put more sticks around the Tommy-toe plants and was able to loosely tie them all to the sticks which apparently makes them stay upright and produce more tomatoes

AND look at how straight my right wrist is in the picture. Again last year that would have been all twisted

Drowning

So we had an hour long swimming lesson s'afternoon and it actually went quite well. Doing the float on your back then your front with a noodle floating aid that I just wasn't able to do before but as my confidence is coming up leaps and bounds it just felt easy today. And float on your back and do this with your legs, again, it's possible now

Hanging It Out

And I have just done a load of washing and it is such a nice day that I am gonna hang it out to dry, outside. And fetch it in later, after swimming at leisure centre

Second

Well, I opened the second envelope of photos and another strange experience was had. Loads of pics of Steph, Alyson (My sister's eldest) when she was less than a year old, loadsa pics of the school film making society and my and Colin looking........ at the school formal

Tonight

And we had a conference about "What should we do tonight?" and I think I kind of insisted we try the pub quiz again, so Llansteffan here we come

No, after the first round we said "No" as that wasn't the usual quiz but a "know your quotes" one as there is a literature festival happening there this week, which also explained why it was so busy

Popped Out

Then we popped out to park in town then walk down to Savers to get a few more Mouthwash garggley stuff

Pedalling

So first thing we went to the docs and picked up a new script for various cremes.

Then we went to gym where I got stuck into cycling for 10km. I have got another 6 to go at present

No, it's 6 now, a few minutes later

Well I have done 8 now, some minutes later

First

Well I have just looked thru the first envelope of old photos. Just wow and aargh and strange feelings I have. Lots of pictures of the school film making society etc. And one picture (dunno who could have taken it) of my and that Steph having a big snog. Fark, how times have changed. I think I will leave the others til later or tomorrow....

Haven't Done Owt Yet

So my photos are still sitting in  pile on the sofa, I haven't been brave enough to look again yet. But MM did find a new photo album sitting on the shelf in the corner so promising but.....

Resizing Photos

And I was experimenting with a webpage that has lots of "resized" pictures so you can click on it to see the full sized pic and I had an OCD outbreak and as well as resizing every pic to a different setting because they are all different sizes I actually experimented with decimal points, so making it eg 23.3% big etc and it all worked, they look the same size now

Swimmity-doo-dah

So early lunch then get changed into my trunx and tomorrows clothes then head off to the gym for a swimming lesson and shower

Well it went. The teacher lady said to the class at the beginning "Neil says 'Are you gonna be grumpy and scary today?' and I answered 'Yes'" which kind of sums up our relationship. But I did have to wait and say to her at the end "When you took the inclined stairs out I said 'I can't get out now' but at the end of the class I climbed up the vertical ladder, the one I didn't used to be able to manage" so it is doing me some good

Sticks Between Plants

And Gareth The Gardener said s'morning that the one stick he put in with the plants as an experiment has worked so on Wednesday when he is working again we will have to put some more in and start tying some plants to them.

Fark - Photos

And tonight I started looking thru a bag of photos that Julia gave me a few days ago, they were mine, have been in her attic since my accident. Just GOOD LORD etc. I was able to look through about the first 10 photos and my memory came flooding back.

I need to look again and again, perhaps find a photo album to put some in etc

Oops

Then after lunch we had to drive almost back to the same place as I had forgotten to say "And Farmfoods when we were out s'morning. So first of all we popped into town for a walk about then went and bought more frozen chips. Not that we eat very many now, just once a week we have them

Obscure Stuff

So first of all we popped out to Morrisons as I had a couple of items on my shopping list for next week that weren't on my regular shopping list so I didn't know where to find them so it might stress me out trying to find them at the same time as my regular shop so we popped in and bought organic pasta and organic extra virgin olive oil.

What what A Day #2

Then after the excitement of the day we went out to see the local comedy show put together by a local group and I actually rather enjoyed it. It was a 3 acts long play but I did rather laugh the whole way thru

What A Day #1

So first of all today we headed down past the railway station to "things for the house" shops, in the end we had to go to 3 of them but we found some organic feed your tomatoes juice, some weed killer powder which we mix with water and another green watering can so we can keep the red one which we already owned to just squirt weed killer out of

Then we went home and had lunch.

Then after lunch we went into town so GGtGG could take out of the bank some cash to use tonight, pay to get in.

Then I had bath and nap etc

Then GGtGG did much scraping and spraying weed killer around the front garden so hopefully it will look better tomorrow

I also downloaded a recipe for harmless weed killer so once we have finished this packet we will try making some

Then as it had taken so long doing stuff and we had a deadline for after dinner we didn't have time for baked spuds some had that "usual" veg and lentil stuff with pasta instead and it was actually rather pleasant. And I now now how to measure out 2 people's worth of pasta

Samless

And we went to gym class but it wasn't taken by The Beautiful Sam. It was taken by a woman who if I met them both in a pub I would think is perhaps lovelier, Chrissie (I think), but as I have some history with Sam teaching me to ditch my wheelchair etc that she is my favourite.

Anyway the class was hard work but I did it

Cooking What Again

So after last weekend's "being away" today I am back into my routine of cooking na'an bread pizza on Friday. Lets hope I can remember how to....

Iechyd Ding

And we are going to the monthly folk night at Iechyd Da tonight.....

Lordy, so the chap who was supposed to come down with the PA "forgot" and after much crises and phone calls said "I will be in an hour" and wasn't at all. We had loadsa folk playing on a cheap "hear it" battery powered PA with no vocals but even so a couple of them were excellent

Busy Thursday

And I remembered how to do it etc. After we brought it home and divided it into "put where" piles I put it all away.

Then we went to gym where today I did a rowing machine. So that feels a bit odd too, yes my right arm is behaving much better than it used to but along side that is a new ache as I am using unfit muscles

First Busy Thursday In A Fortnight

And as we didn't have to pick up any veg last Thursday as we were disappearing off for a few days on Friday so my baby boy could get wed very stylishly so today is the first Fetching Veg Thursday for 2 weeks.

Hopefully I will remember the fetching......

Out+About

Then we went into town for a walk after dinner. Parked at the bottom, walked uphill, along King St then back on the other side and then downhill past the old court again. There was no reason, just out for a walk

And it feels OK again having the FES on my leg. I think the swelling on my big toe must have been growing for ages

Chiropodist

And we went to see the chiropodist a week early today, I was cynical that she would send me to the doctors after looking at my swelling but none of it. She did various cutting and grinding and the swelling has gone down and I am a happy, more comfortable chappy

Nor Swimming

And as it is half term there is no swimming class today so instead we popped gymwards and did four upper body weight lifting machines.

And I really want to complain about how my right arm is a bit fscked. Less fscked than last time we did upper body machines but it still doesn't work as well as my left arm

No Thunder

Well it hasn't been stormy yet......

Foot Fixer

So someone made a phone call to the chiropodist today and said "Neil has an appt next week but can he see you early as his toe hurts?" so tomorrow afternoon I am going

Bicycley-wikeling

So I said to RoyGBiv that I thought my toe was hurting too much to cycle but I would try it first and see. So far nearly 3km into it and it doesn't hurt at all. The cycling machine/position keeps my toe at the right angle where it is not hitting against the end of my shoe

Grenfell Inquiry

So I was looking at the newspaper and I came across a "Grenfell live inquiry" link, clicked it and it just shows a video of gentle music playing against pictures of people trying to lead their lives. Every few seconds there is a new photo of someone else. All the people who were killed. All. I only managed to keep it on for 10 or 12 pictures, a very few of the people who are no more

Aargh

Back To Normal

So I was back yesterday but it was a bank holiday "nothings happening" day but today I am back to fecking gymming etc

Oooh

Well having recalled to go and water the veg s'morning and fark, it is doing well

Oops

And having just arrived today I forgot to go out to the greenhouse and check it. Tomorrow this is......

Home Again Jiggety Jig

So we woke up early s'morning and immediately packed up and loaded the car etc. We travelled back and arrived at almost exactly lunchtime, called at Spar so me and Mark could buy a sandwich as my bread was frozen and came back. Put the washing on etc and were just a bit astonished about where we had been for the last 2 or 3 days

A Bit Emotional

And I was nearly crying watching that Sam marry Emma. But 'tis done

And I said to both of them "Didn't he do well?" to which she replied "I did quite well too"

Breakfast

And we drove down to where we were in last night to order breakfast and the waiter said "Veggie breakfast isn't very nice" so.....

Well I thought it was nice 

S'Morning

So I woke up s"morning and thought "So go home today?" then about 10 seconds later "NO SAMS GETTING MARRIED" so a bit nervous....

Bladder

So on the way up we left about 10.30 and didn't stop for lunch til about 1. And I didn't need to stop 3 or 4 times for a pee. My bladder control is much better

We're Off

So we are off in a bit to Stoke-on-Trent where that Samuel Mark Joseph is getting married to Emma. My baby.......

What?

What am I reading on Sunday for Sam&Emma?

Noisy!

Not Walk

So we popped put to town for a walk around tonight but it was fscking raining so we just drove around for 20 mins then came home

Sam's Class

So s'afternoon I had to go to the gym class that I thought we would miss because we were at wedding. But I did almost all of it standing on my own two feet not holding on. Including the step up and the step up sideways exercises.

Then afterwards before my bath I called GGtGG into the bedroom and tried some situps on the bed. I had to get him to hold my feet down but that is just a technique/practice thingy. I couldn't get my right arm to go behind my head but with one arm behind I did 10 situps. After the wedding that is gonna become a daily practice thingy. Hopefully in the end I will manage more a day too

FESing Again

And we have decided that my leg looks well enough that I can try wearing my FES again for Sam's Class s'afternoon, just then we will try, take it off immediately etc

And clarkin' bell, it feels a bit strange having it on for the first time in a week. Like good and special etc...

Out For Dinner

Then as Timmy suggested it we are going to Pizza Express to eat tonight as I still have an "Eat some" token that I got for last Christmas

So I had to do the washing up just after lunch

Then we popped to Weatherspoons and  had another glass of wine

What A Morning

So.... today first of all we popped into the theatre on King St and bought some tickets for more popular comedians etc, then we walked back to the car and thought "No, as you only need a few items" so we popped into the Coop and bought Milk and muesli etc.

Then we got into the car and thought "Ah well, Morrisons petrol station" but on the way there I actually looked at my shopping list so before we got petrol we actually had to go to Morrisons and do more shopping.

THEN we popped to gym and did a rowing machine and IIRC I did the distance in the quickest ever time.

Walkies, not in Carmarthen

Then tonight I said "Lets go out" to which GGtGG replied "Where?", "Dunno" so in the end we headed down to Burryport where we walked loads along the walkway which would have been to hard for me to do a couple of months ago but now the uneven surface etc doesn't phase me.

We parked up before the tearoom and walked down past the lighthouse

Moved

Fark. So I watched a program about folk with dementia meeting up with a load of 4 year old's and the effect it had.

By jasus, it was moving. One of the older folk hadn't spoken at all for a few years. First think said was "When are you coming back?"

Hoo-fscking-ray

And it sez on my diary for today to go swimming in the pool s'afternoon

And oh what fun we had. Actually today we were having so much fun that I didn't look at the clock to see how much was left until about 43 minutes into class

Looking Bigger

And the tomatoes, the courgettes and the rest of the veg in the trug is looking healthier and bigger s'morning

Quizzing It

As someone noticed an advertising sign t'other night we are going out to a quiz night tonight

And it was nice, we came second in our team of 5 and they usually have a quiz every week but not next week as they are getting married

And I thought "Oh, how well did we do and I suffered a brain injury some years ago so I am a bit stupid" but on reflection it was the rest of my team who answered most of them

Charity Shops

So we popped into town, King St, and went looking in charity shops. In the 3rd one we found some respectable ties and bought two to wear with my pink shirt and grey suit at the weekend.

Plan B was to borrow one off Timmy but this was me being independant 

Bicycly-wikelicking

Well we popped to gym s'morning and I did 10km of level 15 bicycling in possibly the fastest time ever. Not too knackered once I had rested for 15 seconds

Fscking Hay Fever

And I am sneezy s'morning and have blown my nose about 12 times so far.

And I don't have a cold......

But after about 6 o'clock at night I have stopped runny nose-ing

Out Again

Then s'evening we popped into town again to try and make this Helena Advice sink into my head. Which it seems to have done a lot. But Timmy said "We have been nagging you about this for years and all it needs is for some beautiful woman to tell you just once and suddenly you listen...."

Dunno, it improved my walking with no FES today......

Falling In Love

So today I was working with a temp/student/newly qualified MOS called Helena and I am getting fixated. Because she did me so much good, gave me good advice, told me what to do. After the session I could only walk slowly but my right foot was behaving properly/not turning over etc. I am a bit puzzled about what we actually did but it I can reproduce it I will be well happy

And while we were there Timmy shot across the road to the chemist and bought some treat legs cream which feels comfortable. I can't wear my FES until the cut skin has mended. AND she phoned the FES clinic and said "WTF" as I was the second person this week with bleedin' bits on well old FES marks so they are gonna send me some new pads

Bought A New Case

And the cover case on my phone ripped yesterday for no apparent reason. So on Ebay bought a new one for 3.99 which will be delivered in the next couple of days

Shrug

Were Off

And we are off to see the physio lady in Bridgend s'morning

Oh tra la la

Walkies

So we popped into town and went for an enormous walk tonight, about as far as you can go on my route. Without my FES, we had left it off today to try and heal the wounds it had left on my leg. But I did it. BUT my right wrist was slightly bending up because I was having to concentrate slightly more on how my feet were doing with no FES assistance

But I did it, walking for nearly an hour, uphill and down

Next Weekend

And now the royal wedding is over it occurs to me that it is not a few months away, nor a few weeks but it is actually happening next weekend. That Sam the youngster is actually getting married this day next week!!!

PoshPost

And we parked on Llamas St and walked down towards Wilko along the newish st. On the way along we called into a Charity Shop and dropped off some big clothes and had to tell the assistant that's because I have lost 5 stone. We called into a couple of cheap shops but they had not both items we wanted and as I had no cash I thought "Leave the bank card along" and went all the way to Wilko where I bought more Mansize boxes of tissues and more "carry them in your pockets" tissues.

Then later we went down to the pub in Llansteffan and were able drink proper beer

FESless

And as my right leg is looking poorly under where the FES sits on my leg we have decided (well Timmy has) decided not to put the FES on me tonight. I can still walk without it etc, just not so well

'Twas Broken

So the countdown timer that I use to tell me when to get up after my nap had broken and wouldn't work anymore. I got on Google Apps and downloaded a replacement which I wasn't completely happy with but it was the best I could find. Timmy came in s'morning and I asked him for sum advice and he said "Goto that link to PlayStore on your phone", they have the majority of stuff for your phone. I downloaded summat, still had the same issue as the first one, tried again and I am happy now. So I uninstalled the intermediate and I am happy with the one that's there now

The intermediate ones wouldn't let me choose from a selection of times, like "Normal nap" and "Brief nap after class that's running late" etc

Hot Water

And the tap is still running hot which makes a) having a bath and b) doing the washing up and c) washing my hands much easier

Did My Washing

And I had to do a load of washing s'afternoon which means that the machine will be empty tomorrow therefore I should wash the sheets off my bed etc as I wash it every weekend Saturday or Sunday depending when the machine is free

I Am Not Worthy

So today I will be at my once a week Sam's Class.

I am not worthy....

     Well I have now had an early lunch so I can do sum digestion before going to class........

Dun it. It was as much fun as usual but I noticed half way thru the cabbage-string exercises (They are called ham string by most folk).....  half way thru the cabbage-string exercises I noticed that my right knee was bending as much as the left knee. It still wasn't the same, it hurt and I felt unsteady, but it was the first time it has bent as far as the left knee in over 15 years. I told Sam (as I was feeling a bit smug) and she said "You didn't used to be able to bend the right knee at all"

Hot Bath

And I was able to have a hot bath again today (Yesterday I had a shower at swimming pool and day before was the first bath I had had for weeks) and it still felt really important etc etc

Bliss.....

Thursday AM

THEN me and Timmy headed into town, called into Lloyds bank* so Timmy could pay me half the cash for the plumber, then we popped down to Caffi Iechyd Da and fetched an enormous box of goodies, then to Morrison's where again we had a bigger than usual shopping list, then home and put it away.

Then we called down to gym and I did my 20 minute cycle, at normal speed for 4½ minutes then flat out for 30 seconds repeated for 20 minutes. Puff puff pant etc but I can do it 

* WTF's going on, you don't need to queue up any more, just went to a "Paying in" machine, put my card in, didn't need to enter my PIN, put the cash in the slot at the bottom, it clicks and hums then says "You paid in £x?" you click "Yep" and it pays it into your account!!!

Gardening

And as soon as I had finished my breakfast me and GGtGG went out to the greenhouse and removed 3 of the plants from there to put them in the trug, I think the last 2 plants we will leave in the greenhouse

And I went back out to have a look tonight and it already looks better, more upright plants etc etc

Recording Sound

And I spent ages today trying to find different ways/techniques for recording sound so perhaps I could have a stronger method. No such luck but I rediscovered how to video/record sound on my camera which I can then convert to sound files. Dunno why I did that, just rediscovering

For future rediscovery you just have to press the small video camera picture button next to main button on top of my camera. Then "up" arrow to play it back

Walkies (AGAIN!!!)

And we popped to town for walkies again tonight. So we parked on Lammas St and instead of going up the hill we walked along Lammas St and down Mansel St and then up the hill past Iechyd Da and then back down to the car.

Oh, it was a different route but still as much fun as ever

Sigh

Well we are off to the pool s'afternoon for an hours workout

Hoo-fscking-ray

Hot Water At Kettle

Aaah. T'was much easier making my brew s'morning, just able to heat my mug up, didn't have to reboil the kettle etc

Wot Denyse Said

And Denyse arrived when I was spreading some bird seed on the feeder tray and said "Stand properly" which was actually to remind me to think about...... etc..... and then said "Anything I should bring up with the team?" and I said "Yes, actually...." and went on to tell her about walking in the back door, how I want/need to practice more but I am not allowed to try it by myself, so can I walk in there "While there is a MOS behind me with his hands free to catch me if I fall" and she said "YES".

Woop dee doop, hooray etc etc

Then she approached me again and said "Second thoughts. If we get the council to put handrails there, they will do it for free, then you can use it by yourself. DO NOT use it until then"

Plumber?

The phone rang at about four minutes past nine s'morning and I thought "Is that the plumber?", picked it up and said "Hello" and a woman with a very thick foreign accent said "Can I speak to the homeowner, please?" I didn't even reply, just hung straight up

Then a couple of hours later I was thinking "Where is he?" and he just pulled up, outside, no phone call etc. He did a couple of hours work then fscked off. I turned the tap on and it ran hot for about a second then ran cold. 

So MM had to phone him again, we had a direct number, he came back, did about 20 seconds work with a screwdriver and it all works now. The hot bath is happening again and we didn't have time to go to the gym first.

Well "someone" said to me today that when the bill arrives "they" will pay half from Staff PC and I can pay the other half

Be Good

So I am trying to be good today, there is no point asking Denyse to marry me, just no point, so I am trying to make friends

Yum Yum

And I cooked pasta for myself tonight again. Nice it was, I can manage it now

Sorry

Today's T-Shirt

(Snigger)

Church Road

So we popped out front door, turned left and walked down the footpath then came onto Church Road.

It is the minor right turn just after we have driven off to town but I went up it, uphill it is. Soon we were level with the roof of our house

Come On, Plumber

Come on, waiting for you to phone s'morning

So Timmy phoned them at 11am, they said they had ordered the spring and the wrong one had arrived, so he had to order the full expensive part (that we had been waiting for a week to avoid) and hopefully will be in touch tomorrow. So instead of heading off to Headway in Swansea we are heading to Aqua Fit @ gym, luckily Timmy had brought trunx just in case, then shower @ pool

Stressed Hand

So we went to Carmarthen tonight, parked on Llamas St, walked up past the old town hall and along King St. For the whole time my right hand was sitting at my side, where it should be.

Then we turned down the steep downhill at the end of King St., Little Water Street. My right hand went up in the air and stayed there until I had walked the five yards through the very steep uneven bit when it went back to my side

Pasta

And I cooked some pasta for tea tonight which I haven't done for ages, I had kind of gone off it as I struggled using my knife at the same time as my fork to scrape it on, to eat, but nowadays that is straightforward again, so  I think I have changed my eating habits a bit

And I was sh*tting myself about carrying it to the sink to drain but it just worked, my own two feet with the pan in two hands

Visiting

And I went across the road to ask the neighbour summat and she said "Come into my house and see" and I walked up the side and into her house. Lord but she works hard to keep it nice

And she did say that even from her not very close neighbour position she can tell how much better I am getting week after week. Like, she said, "I used to be in a wheelchair"

Bl**dy Sunday

So here it is, Sunday. MM is out the front cleaning the rest of the stones underfoot then he is gonna move small stones under the car as they have all moved away from the manhole and that is sticking up a bit so he needs to make it all level once more. I will take a pic once he moves his car away......
