Up and At 'Em

So I woke up "much too early" s'morning, lay there trying to go back to sleep and failing that for half an hour then gave up and got up. Oh great, it's five to flippin' seven....

Hapus Dydd Gŵyl Dewi

By accident I realised that tomorrow is a holiday in Wales, St David's Day

Just One

And blinkin' flip, but hooray. It has been doing my head in for ages that I recieved 1 copy of most mail that I send but 2 copies of every mail I send to Ixion. So tonight I had another bit of trying to rearrange and I didn't say "No mail" but a few down it sez "Receive your own posts to the list" which today I realised means an extra posting to me, so I changed it to NO and now I just get every post once.

Sloe Gin

Well.... I have ordered delivery of a bottle of Sloe Gin which I am expecting tomorrow. So in the shops today I bought a bottle of Tonic water to go with it. Fairy nuff. Now tonight a MOS came round and said "Ralph next door said you would want this" and handed me a bottle of home-made Sloe Gin that they made last summer

And on reflection it is delicious straight.

No Neil, calm down....

Ta, Well Taught

So I got my shopping from this morning out and set it on the table. There was a new jar of Pickles which was too tight to open. So I got out my opening jars device but the lid of the pickle was too big to go in. I thought "Oh" and was just about to shout for help when I recalled whay a MOS had shown my t'other week. So I got a knife out, kind of half pushed it under the sealed lid then took it out and tried again. Wow, what a difference, I could now open it easily

Morrisons

(Sigh) Did my shopping s'morning...... now awaiting Sarah the OT to come and cook with me tomorrow

Washed My Back

And I have just had a shower and washed my back with that new device, better than last time and then dried off my toes with a different bit of it.
VERY VERY HAPPY CHAPPY

My Neck

And a MOS was just in my room for a bit, as she was leaving she said "Lemme look at your neck". So as I can't see it I was nervous, hoped the Calendula Creme will have worked, she looked and said "Wow, it's completely better"

Eugh

And I got up s'morning, had to go back to sitting on my bed to tighten my splint, then I was glancing at The Observer before I had my breakfast and then went "Eugh" rather loudly

Sloe Gin

I was just having a look on Amazon and unexpectedly I found some Sloe Gin. So waiting now..... And it's Organic too.

Books

So I had been reading more short stories, as I couldn't cope with my 3 volume SF tale, but a few days ago another book arrived, one which had been recommended by IXION, a tale of the RAF flying miles to make the Falklands stay British and I am enjoying it a great deal, I think it is now "my current book"

Biggest, longest, walk in nearly 8 years

Now up 'til today the furthest that I had walked had been 2 up and down our street. Today I walked 3 times full length there and back

I am still a bit proud...

Fixed it

So on my webpage I had 2 photos next to each other, so when you scrolled down it looked like there was just one pic for ages. Then after much humming and hawing I was just about to buzz for help and say I don't suppose there is a web designer on the premises today, but in the last few minutes before I did that I discovered what I needed to do to move the picture upwards and it looks a bit more sensible now

So 'vspace="xxx"' was the new command that I have learnt about today

Excited

So I am gonna have a shower tonight and this time I am gonna try out my back washer, try and scrub myself with the big brush

And big WOW, it f**king works, it is the first time my shoulders have been washed since I stopped needing help to wash.I can wash the top half of my back with "it" and reach the rest of my back freehand.

DVLA

So even tho the DVLA have said that I can't drive for now I did an official DVLA practice theory test. I did it in about 1/3 of the time allocated and score 100%. Obviously some part of my brain still works

But I failed the second test, only 41 out of 50

Woe is me (again)

And I began to realise how fu*ked my eyes must be

But I started another game, with twisting my head/neck around from the first go and it worked this time

I WON

Stories

So I am bored trying to read the (new) long story that I have so I started reading another book of short stories. The first story impressed me so much that I had to scan it and make it available for all you lot to read

My Memory

Well, my medium term memory seems to be getting better. Every time I open the bank I have to type in the password and then a few letters from the remembered fact. Usually I had to look up the password on my "secret" file but I could remember the more obvious to me remembered fact. But it seems that the last 2 or 3 times I did it I remembered the password too

Woe is me

I got a letter from the DVLA s'morning telling me I can't see well enough to drive, ATbleedin'M

Busy

So in about an hour the first Taxi is coming to take me to Priory Day Hospital to take back my new too small splint and change it for one that actually fits me.

WOW, I have the new splint now and it feels so much "Pulling my ankle tightly" than the old one did

After that I am going to Caffi Iechyd Da for the Folk Night and dinner etc. I thought I was getting a lift but her car is broken ATM so I will have to pay for my accompaniers taxi too

But WOW wasn't it excellent tonight, I am a bit too drunk to type more but just WOW

I am relatively pleased that someone is accompanying me, I thought I was gonna have to go on my own but "they" have asked someone to work a very strange work pattern today so they can accompany me
