Oh What Fun

So today we popped to the Drs to fetch my 'script then we headed to gym. After discussion about what to do today I am trying a new exercise. Instead of normal, cycling dead fast for some time I am on easier settings. We will have to compare distance etc when I finish
Yeah, I did do some distance further

Working So Far

And I have been about wearing my proper shoes again today and they seem to work, no blisters etc, so I just needed to take the insole out of one shoe
And I was wearing them today at Headway Swansea because I didn't fit my FES as there seems no point to go to an indoors function like this

More Reasons......

Then we popped to Morrisons and I picked up the items off my organic order which I won't be able to pick up in the market when we go in and buy my veg on Thursday
We are gonna try that instead of having a delivery, we called in and had a look, they grow most of the veg on a not organic but not full of chemicals farm apparently

No Swimming

And this week there is no swimming class as we are off to Headway Swansea for the usual "What's the point being here" meeting
Actually there was more of a point today, we didn't play a distracting game, we just sat around the table and bonded with one another
Then when we were on the way home someone about 3 cars in front of us crashed. A van hit the back of a small car which then left the motorway and came up resting across the fence to the left

Sunday, 8 July 2018

Didn't Know HOW

So I was trying to change summat with regards the background and colour of txt on one of my webpages. In the end I figured out how to do it, then realised that I needed a different colour. How did I do it last time? So look again, did it again and put the page together.
And afterwards I thought "So how did I do that?" I have no idea, so I need to learn how to learn from my actions, there is no point "just doing it"

Nearly Dry

And I did a load of washing s'afternoon and hung it out. Less than an hour later I was passing and reached out to touch it. Most of it was nearly dry. Just lordy, most of my washing line isn't even in the sun in the afternoon

Fark

So I have just exchanged txt's with Julia about what I was doing for a living when I had my accident and just FARK, it's a bit emotional hearing about what I was teaching and studying at the same time

Out For The Night

And we popped out last night, got into car and said "Where shall we go?", hummed and hawed then went to The Friends Arms which was the pub I used to electric wheelchair to from the Leonard Cheshire care place. But I have never seen it as busy as it was last night. But by the time I had finished my last pint most of the folks had left, the footy was finished.
Most of the other folk in there were well pissed by the time we got there, they had been watching sport all day, but friendly. One or two folk made some "pirate" comment about my eyepatch

Mending Footwear

As well as buying some new footwear I got stuck into the relatively new (a couple of months) ones that had caused my blister and removed the extra thickening extra insoles and just left the original insoles in. I then put them away but when it is colder I will try wearing them again

Get Rid

Then Timmy and I went into the garage s'morning and sorted out the rubbish before Timmy left. Most of it he said "Yeah, ditch it" but there were a few pieces of txt that he brought indoors to shred as it had important info on it and there were 2 files that he said "Legally you are supposed to keep there for 10 years. The date on them is 8 years ago so I will take them and put them in the office"
Then me and GGtGG came outdoors later and put all the "Throw it away" stuff into the boot of the car having sorted it into "metal" and "rubbish" etc then took it to the tip and ditched a whole boot load of stuff. What's left seems to be mainly various floor tiles and loads and loads of tools. Hammer, screwdriver, spanner, more spanners etc etc. I didn't think I did so much mending but they were all mine

Drying

And I washed my bed sheets after I got up s'morning at about 8AM. Washed then for about an hour and a half then hung them out on the line. By 12AM they were dry and I brought them in

Friday, 6 July 2018

Multi Cooking

As we were out so late for our walk around town there wasn't time to cook veg casserole, so I cooked baked spuds and cheese bites for tea. But I also cooked the casserole and it is cooling and all cooked now. In a bit I will divide it up into a few days worth in the small saucepan and the rest divided up into the freezer

No Gym

Then today we looked at one another and said "No gym" so we decided to head into town for a long walk. We parked on Lammas St as usual and headed up the hill until we reached the posh coffee shop, The Old Market Sq Deli, at top. We stopped there for a hot chocolate and I was very upset as Timmy said the smell of freshly baked bread was overwhelming and I couldn't smell owt. But they are baking loads of small loaves and they had a veggie/vegan "we support" even tho they sell meat too.
We finished the chocolate and headed along to Iechyd Da street, headed down then went into Market and had a look at the veg stall. While they are not labeled organic the woman I spoke to seemed anti chemical and they grow most of the goods on her farm.

Well More Comfortable

So as my feet are so much better today I think that yesterdays buying might have been the right thing to do. Obviously the shoes, which are a couple of months old, don't quite fit me properly. Dunno if they will be more comfortable after the wounds has gone away, dunno, wait and see

Thursday, 5 July 2018

Feed Him

And because he is here today and tomorrow I kind of thought that it will start to have gone off if I don't use it 'til Saturday so I said "Want it?" to Timmy and then fed him Na'an Bread Pizza and chips for tea. And it was fecking lovely again

Let Off

And Samantha (my gym teacher) txted me today and said "No gym class tomorrow, sorry" so dunno what we should do instead

Tension In My Arm

So yesterday while doing the scary climb up the hill my right arm was as tight as a very tight thing

Thursday Morning

(Sigh....)
Well that's the first load done. Picked up veg, shopped at Morrisons came home, put it away, paid my bill, now waiting for Timmy to take me to gym. Then I can get on......

Wednesday, 4 July 2018

Where?

Then tonight GGtGG said "Lets go out. Where shall we go?" so I said "Paxton's Tower". So we set off and I had to say "No, it's this way" and when we got there it turns out that I was heading for Dryslwyn Castle instead, just to see how far up it was etc. So we looked then said "Try it?" and headed off uphill along the path. I switched the FES off as it was all uneven and just carried on. We got almost all the way to the top then GGtGG was starting to panic about it getting too dark to see on the way back down so we turned back when almost at the top.
I just can't believe how my much fitness is changing, just getting better and better week after week

Frozen Food and Oven Chips

Well I put slightly more into each days food to freeze and we finished it all this week and had to eat some frozen from the shop food. In the past it was lasting about 9 days but it just lasted 6 this week

Further Right-handedness

And I took a bit longer lifting the dinner tonight as I lifted all the chips with my right hand. From the oven tray to our plates, the sweet potato oven chips were lifted properly. It is the first time I have eaten them this week, and the first time for some years that I lifted them with my right hand

Was I In Charge?

And I found this document from when I was a computer teacher amongst tat yesterday. I have no fscking memory of this but.....

Click to look

Stress BUT Fun?

So we are heading to the swimming pool later for an Aqua Aerobics session......
"Oh what fun we had, but......"
And didn't we do it. And again I did the whole class on my own two feet, not having to hold the side of the pool at all

WTF?

And I was going thru the box of "stuff from filing cabinet" and there was an opened envelope in there. Where The F*ck was I staying then?????

Right Hand

And I have noticed that recently I am using my right hand in ways that just wouldn't have been possible last week. I went to loo to have a pooh tonight, put my phone in the right hand side pocket of my trews and took it out to read with my right hand.
And put my electric toothbrush back on it's stand with my right hand.
These just wouldn't have been possible a fortnight ago

Tuesday, 3 July 2018

Feels Odd

And the towels that I washed yesterday then dried outside on the washing line feel different than usual, more rough kind of thing. More effective at drying tho...

Cycl-fecking-ing

So we came to gym s'morning and I have another 8.5km to go.....
Hooray...
Only 7 now.....
Three quarters of an hour after starting and now there are only 3 km to go....
Well I finished it in about 56 minutes, not my fastest time but it was too fecking hot for exercise

Early Walkies

And s'morning I nipped out and did a Helena Style walk down the path to the left and back up. With no FES fitted, it just feels so much better, I kind of can't describe it, trying to move my foot by the knee, not trying to lift my hip or summat

Monday, 2 July 2018

Sentimental

So I took MM out to the garage and looked thru the filing cabinet. About ⅔ of the contents is in the "check with Timmy before throw it away", a couple of boxes have come indoors with us and there is about ⅓ of a drawer full of precious sentimental stuff whereas before there were 4 drawers full of tat
I will have to go back out and sort out the "Neil's old stuff" pile in the corner, perhaps when GGtGG is working next

Aargh

So I said to MM "Right, lets go swimming", he looked at me a bit oddly and said "We don't have to go for a hour Neil, it's at quarter to 3"
Well I just did the whole class without having to hold on for balance. Hopping on my right foot for example

Glug

As there is no Headway distraction today we are fecking off to Water Works at late today, 2.45 pm
But today I have gotta wash 2 loads, I recon the first will be dry by the time I have gone to the pool then washed the second
It was dry before I tried to go swimming an hour early, well warm today

Sunday, 1 July 2018

WTF

Then GGtGG said after dinner "Lets go out and practice your proper walking" so I said "Good idea" and headed out. Parked up on Lammas St as usual. We walked along Chapel St then up the barricaded off bit of Little Water St and turned to walk back along King St. Outside The Parrot pub was a man I know who often plays mouth organ at Clwb Iechyd Da, he said "Hiya, coming to our gig here tonight?". WTF?
So me and GGtGG walked all the way back to the car, jumped in and headed back to park up at the end of King St. Went and listened to the support act then The Low Down Dirty Dog Blues Band who were actually rather entertaining

Insults

dictionary.com The Best Old-Timey Insults We Should be Using Today sound, but not necessary

Imminent

So when I got up s'morning I put my bed sheets in the wash. It takes about an hour and a half to wash so it finished at about 9.30. I thought I'd better put it on to tumble dry as they said it was gonna rain s'morning on the news but the weather still looked fine so I put it out to dry on the line. An hour and a half later I checked and it was fully dry so brought it in, surprised at how quickly it had dried. An hour after that it was raining heavily here

Clearing Out The Garage

So GGtGG got stuck into clearing out the garage today. There is lots of stuff that came from The Leonard Cheshire Home and hasn't been looked at since, now it just needs binning etc
And when we are rid of the tat we can actually organise, put the rest of the stuff on shelves etc

Saturday, 30 June 2018

Walkies

So we headed into town for a Helena Style Walkie and parked on the turn in Lammas St, walked all the way thru town, up past Debenhams and sat on the warm from the sun bench at the top of the hill. Walked back down and headed up Mansel St to take us further walkies then headed back to the car.
All the way trying to teach my brain that this is the new habitual way of walking with my right leg

Drying Time

And the washing was dry an hour and a half after I hung it out today

Farmfoodsing

Then we popped into Farmfoods s'afternoon and bought more chilli and garlic 'ketchup' and I bought a few other items that we didn't really "need" but they were nice

Helena's Advice

And I took myself out for a walk down the footpath to the left of my house s'morning. I had no FES on but was trying to take Helena'a advice about bending my knee rather than my hip and for the whole couple of hundred yards of my walk both my feet stayed flat and level. This is just a wow in the extreme, my right foot used to be hitting the ground at 45° sideways at it's worst.
And I went out for another walk s'morning. It feels really odd. For some years I have been trying to lift my leg at the hip, but actually as Helena said to do it, it feel so wrong and low, but I just swing my knee forward and pick up my toes. It just feels all wrong compared with how I have been trying to RElearn how to do it, but my right foot stays flat and it feels more stable/better etc. Aargh, learning......
BUT by fark but it is easy to forget what I am doing and start to get it all wrong. Carrying stuff or any other distraction and it goes back to "my traditional" style. I have got to change what my brain thinks is traditional.....

Friday, 29 June 2018

A Bit *WOW*

So I just walked from the kitchen to the living room and it occurred to me, yes I am walking slower than I used to because I am trying various things, but as I walked my right foot stayed flat to the floor every step. That is just a WOW, it used to turn over nearly half way. Just by jasus, the improvement might be happening in small ways but it is even impressing me

Missed Her

And we missed Sam's class at gym as we were along the motorway at Neuro Physio Wales where we did loads of practicing moving my right leg properly. Which I do feel I learned from but I have to walk much slower until I have RElearned the habits
And we stopped off in Asda and had a cheap lunch on the way back, we would have been much too late to eat otherwise

Thursday, 28 June 2018

Out Tonight

Then we are off out tonight to the monthly muso do at Caffi Iechyd Da (noisy link) in town
And there was a WTF but quite delicious dinner too....

Lunch

Then we came back and I ate my freshly picked veg and a bread roll for lunch.
Then I did an early wash up as we are going to Iechyd Da for a party tonight, so no dinner here
And is it just psychological or do I really feel better for eating such fresh vitamin-c?

We're Off

Then s'morning me and Timmy are off to fetch the veg from Iechyd Da and then go shopping in Morrison's
Which "we" did. There were no parking spaces on King St and there was no-one following us so Timmy parked mid-road and ran down to Iechyd Da. While he was away I saw a big red van coming behind us, it stopped about a hundred yards away, put on it's hazard lights and started unloading summat. Phew
Then we did Morrison's and came back, put it away then went back to gym to do my 3.25km row. And it was still too hot to do it fast, even in the air conditioned gym
And again I went to gym with no FES fitting because when I am there I don't use them and they would be sitting on my leg making me sweat and be uncomfortable so better off just not wearing them

A Bit Emotional

Looking thru some old photos s'morning and the odd one makes me a bit emotional. They are all so young.....

Wednesday, 27 June 2018

Off Out

And we are heading out to a meeting with WWEG in the ten-pin bowling centre just down the road from here. I won't be bowling, just socialising

Oh What Fun

And we had a fun session in the pool with an instructor s'afternoon. But it's finished now
And I did feel at one point when we were doing standy up exercises that I could actually get both my heels down, one foot in front of the other. Yes, it's harder, slower but it was progress

Nipped Out

So as it's a "have an early lunch" day before swimming class we nipped out to Home Bargains s'morning to fetch some toothpaste, some tooth cleaner heads and some birdfood. While we were there I noticed that Mansize Tissues were 50p a pack cheaper than anywhere else so I bought loadsa them too

Tuesday, 26 June 2018

NOT Quizzing

And I decided to not go to "the pub quiz" tonight as I am going out to hang around watching folk bowl tomorrow and going to Iechyd Da Folk Night the next night. So actually spending a night here is worth while

Hanging Out

And I did another load of washing and hung it out today.
When I was much iller I used to just tumble dry it. When I was healthier but still not very mobile so I couldn't walk on the uneven stones below the washing line I used to hang it on a clothes horse and dry it indoors. Now I just hang it out
And it was dry three hours later when I checked

Heat

And I was lying naked after my bath today with the window open. Not under covers or anything, it was blinkin' hot





Too Hot For Exer-fscking-cise

And today it is much too hot for exercise but I am @ gym cycling. I have done over 1km already but there is another 2.259km to go
Oh what fun we have...
And I cycled 3.25km and sed "Done" to RoyGBiv and he said "No, up to 10km" so it is not going as quickly as I thought at first

Knackering

And I am knackered already but "we" "need" to head to the gym and do 3.2510km on the bike today
I am looking forward to it already.....

Early

So I closed the curtains in my bedroom last night to see if that was why I was waking up so early but no, I was still awake at 6.45 s'morning

Monday, 25 June 2018

Headway

So we went over to Headway in Swansea and the 4 of us that were playing together, with assistance from MM, won one game each
It still baffles me but it's better than swimming pool

Don't Know How It Got Fixed

And for some reason the mailing list that I read suddenly started sending my mail to hippyweb@ again, which it hasn't been doing for some months. So I have demoted the gmail account that I had to use as a substitute but it is still subscribed as that is the email I use from my phone and some days I am away from PC

Early Drs

So we had an early trip to the Drs today to pick up my script then a trip to the chemist next door to change that to a bottle of cream and a brown inhaler
Then we have a quiet hour then have an early lunch then head to Headway in Swansea for a meetup
It seems a bit pointless but the substitute would be swimming at gym so I am not toooooooo grumpy......

Sunday, 24 June 2018

Quick Drying

So I put the washing on s'afternoon then jumped in the bath. By about 4 o'clock I was rested and dressed again so I hung the washing out on the line to dry. By half past seven it was fully dry and I brought it in and put it away.
3 and a half hours and it's not even in the sun that time of day

Right Hand

My right hand is getting so much better. So I had to write two brithday cards and addresses on the envelope today and I just used my right hand. It's not the best writing but it is legible.
AND for a few days I have been able to do the zip on my trousers up after going to the loo with my right hand. 

Walkies

Then s'afternoon we headed into Carmarthen for more walkies. This time we went reverse of yesterdays route. So we had to walk up the steep bit at the end of Little Water St but again it just isn't an issue now
And I tried to go somewhere else too, end of King St, turn left towards the castle instead of right and downhill. Except the castle is only open Monday to Saturday and today is Sunday

Surprise Visitor

Then I was asking GGtGG what the plan was for the day when my mobile phone rang. I answered and it was Brian, Julia's Dad. He said "We have been down for a few days, can me and Rita come and see you s'morning?"
And he knew how I am busy napping in the afternoon so called me in the morning

Saturday, 23 June 2018

A Smidge Impressed

So I showed RoyGBiv the photo album that I had just finished making from the photos Julia sent over t'other day and he was quite impressed with some of the photos, he praised my technique etc

Walkies

And we popped out for a walk about town tonight. Parked on Lammas St, up on the RHS of the old council building, along King St, down before the library and along Woods Row/Chapel St back to the car.
It used to wear me out, walking a mile around town, not any more

Ink

As I had to use the last of my ink for the printer we headed into Wilko s'morning. And left in discust as it was so dear there. So Amazon didn't help the town but it did help me. Then we popped into Savers and Roy bought loadsa cleaning products etc

Friday, 22 June 2018

To-Nite

Then tonight we drove past the local pub (as it's closed) and went to the pub down the hill, my new local, and had 3 pints

Pizza

Then tonight it was time to cook na'an bread pizza again but Morrison's still couldn't get any na'an bread. So for the second week I had to substitute Garlic & Herb flatbread but this week I only bought one flatbread and cut it in half and it was still enuf pizza

Stroke Class

Then I went to Sam's class at 2pm. It kind of hurts my brain how much better at the activities I am getting. Today I did all the exercises with my walky stick lying on the floor next to me and wasn't panting&sweating when the class was over

Marginal Panic

So I was typing an email and the keyboard stopped working. Aargh, batteries. Have I got some more? Evidently (tho I could do this on my phone which I am not) it worked

Shop Trip - Wilko

Then s'morning I cancelled the order I had ordered on Amazon last night and tried to keep businesses in business and went to Wilko and bought a large photo album, so I can put some of the old pics that were mine from years ago that Julia had been looking after since my accident and dropped them off with me last week. I printed out loadsa labels and tried to stick them in the album that has been in the cupboard here for years yesterday but that would only hold 6x4 photos one way round so it was no good to me. So I ordered a replacement last night, cancelled it s'morning and went and bought summat
There's no time now (early lunch followed by class @ gym) but I will stick them in later

Friday Sigh-ness

So we have the usual Friday feeling today. Early lunch then to (I think it's called) The Stroke class at gym, then....... dunno.
Friday night, my local pub. Except it is closed for business

Thursday, 21 June 2018

No Na'an

And in Morrison's today they had no na'an bread again. Dunno, I bought the same substitute as last week (Garlic & Herb flatbread to share) but only one this week - I suspect one cut in half will be well manageable as opposed to the two I bought last week which just made a dinner that was too big, too much cheese etc etc

Rowing

Then we popped to gym and tried to row faster. I failed but did a quick 3.25km
I was about 40 seconds from setting a record for time taken

Thursday Business

So first thing s'morning I had to pop to the Drs and say "The interweb wouldn't let me order a script" and then we had to make an appt so I can see a Dr and tell them why I still need my script.
Then popped to Iechyd Da and picked up a smaller than usual box of veg. My freezer is getting full of already cooked veg casserole so I bought less veg so we can eat loads of it this week
Then we popped to Morrisons and bought the rest of the shopping

Wednesday, 20 June 2018

Out & About (again)

So we went out for walkies in Carmarthen again tonight. Parked up on Llamas St, walked uphill past the old council block, along King St, down the little side street just before the library, turned left and walked along looking at the back of all the shops.
Thera-fscking-putic 

Jungle-tastic

Well I popped out s'morning and watered the veg. Lordy but it is growing fast. And the tommy-toe plants are starting to flower which will lead to tommy-toes growing and half the rest of the veg have started growing edible veg, peppers, sprouts.....

Hooray for swimming

So it is an early lunch as we are going to the 'pool for a swimming class s'afternoon.
Hoo-fscking-ray
Well that wasn't as intense as Monday's but I am still glad when it's over. But I did say to the instructor lady that I noticed today that I wasn't having to hold on at all, my balance is getting better week after week

Tuesday, 19 June 2018

Quizzing

And we are off out tonight to The Castle Inn in Llansteffan as they run a quiz every Tuesday
And we didn't take part in the quiz, just sat there socialising, drinking some local beer
(And I drank 4 pints of "normal" (old fashioned) strength bitter and didn't fall over or wet the bed or anything......)

Cycly-wykly-woo

So me and that Timmy went to gym and I got stuck into a cycling session. Hooray another 8km to go.......
5km to go now......
Down to the last km. And I haven't stopped for a rest

Monday, 18 June 2018

Compare And Contrast

Well a few weeks ago compared to now

My Right Hand *Is* Getting Better

And today I finished on the loo, stood up, pulled my zip up with my right hand

We're Off In A Bit.....

And I have no excuse today, no Headway meeting happening in Swansea or anything. So we have to go to the Water Works in Leisure Centre which is a shorter but more intense session in the pool
Well wasn't that intense. Tne class was taken by (The Beautiful) Sam, for whatever reason, and she ran us back and forward for 45 minutes
Now half was thru she did say "Work harder, make your hearts beat" and I was too breathless to say "My heart is beating so much because you are here today"

No, Neil

And in my puzzlement about how we made the pics of Sam into one I suspect that I thought I knew the answer wrong. I suspect that picture is an old fashioned pre-digital photo.
So gord nose how we did it

Sunday, 17 June 2018

Hectic In The Morning

So Julia sent me loadsa pics, one of which contained 4 of Sam. I said "How did we do that?", she replied "Dunno". Many hours of research s'morning eventually lead to me taking a naff and bland photo with 2 of my walking stick in it

Saturday, 16 June 2018

Walkies

And we felt obliged to head into Carmarthen for a walk around today. Parked on the end of Lammas St, headed in thro town past the market, up past Iechyd Da, along King St and back down

Right Hand

So s'morning I was peeling a Butternut Squash, which is very big and difficult to peel.
And I managed/just did habitually to peel it all with my right hand. It now seems that it is the first hand I use to hold the peeler in, loads has changed in the last couple of months
AND it was delicious too!!!!

Kitchen Business

So I will sit here for half an hour to let the kitchen floor dry then it's off to cook the weeks food again
Well it's ¾ done, all veg peeled & chopped and cooking, all herbs added, all garlic etc but I need to add some lentils etc and cook it for ages

Friday, 15 June 2018

Unexpected Visitor

Then tonight when I was half way thru cooking tea there was a knock at the door, I thought "WTF?", went to the door and it was Julia. She said "I am just working across the way and had an hour to spare" and went on to tell me how much I have changed, I was able to answer the door then go on cooking while talking to her

I *AM* Getting Better

And it occurs to me s'morning. That little picture that I posted yesterday, I simply couldn't walk round there to do that for years. It wasn't just laziness, it was inability to walk on that surface
Hah, I am so much better at that nowadays...... 😏

Greenhouses

We have been having discussions for a few days about how to replace the greenhouse. I think after much discussion that next winter (when the plants in it have grown) we are gonna replace it with a Lean To Greenhouse (for example) which will be a lot more stable etc but equally accessible

Not Weekend Yet #2

So I have to go to the gym class today but then tonight we are heading to The Lyric Theatre to see Tom Allen there
Which was a bit strange. Yes, I enjoyed it, laughed etc but it seems to have left almost no memory in my head. I had to check in my diary s'morning to see where we went last night

Thursday, 14 June 2018

Not Weekend Yet

NO Neil, it is not the weekend yet. Just because you had to pick up the veg and go to Morrison's s'morning, it is not the weekend yet. You need to go to a gym glass tomorrow

New Habit

And as I did my washing today I think I can safely say that I have got a new habit of drying it




Rowing

And I got on the rowing machine at gym today and did my 3.25km before coming home for lunch. For whatever reason I just couldn't go as fast as I managed last week.

Thursday Business Ritual

So (sigh)..... it is the Thursday Getting Food Ritual again. First of all Timmy will take me to Iechyd Da where they drop off my box of organic goodness then it is off to (More Reason To Shop At) Morrisons to fetch the milk etc, the rest of my weeks shopping

Wednesday, 13 June 2018

Shopping

Then tonight I had to go to Farmfoods as GGtGG said "We need staff tea and coffee". I thought then said "But I don't need any food, as I now cook a veg casserole which lasts most of the week every week" so all I bought was more of those ice cream lolly thingies but GGtGG spend 12 or 14 quid on the staff card

Oh What Fun We Had

Well s'morning I had a hot chocolate with GGtGG, then I asked him to drive me to the postbox and posted..... summat. Now I am having  quiet half hour before changing into my swimming trunx and clean clothes and going swimming.
Oh I feel so positive about the whole think....
Well wasn't that fun. It was harder work than usual but equally fun. But today for the first time I was able to stand on my right foot and move my left foot about without holding on with my left hand, so some progress =.....

Tuesday, 12 June 2018

WWEG Quiz

And we met up with the West Wales Everything Group tonight and we came 3rd or 4th in the quiz. Me and MM and 4 others.
We did quite well but didn't win
But the drinks, it was bitter in 1/3 or 2/3 pint glasses, or at a push you could have a pint. At the end I did say to a chap that worked there that when I worked in a pub beer had to be in 1/2 or 1 pint glasses but he did say that in 2010 they introduced a 2/3 pint licence too

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...
