Where did it go?

Happy Birthday To Me. 42 today, hoo-flippin'-ray. I was in my mid 30's, had a disaster now how old am I?

Visitors

Then my parents came over. Hoo-flippin'-ray. We had a cuppa and a chat then we headed off to the seaside to have a look at the beautiful women^h^h^h^h^hview and had lunch outside a café where they make your sandwiches from scratch, yes, it was lovely.
Then tonight we had a pizza and various salads that they prepared here, and did the washing up afterwards.
THEN we went out to Tesco where I got more Tofu with bits in that they don't sell in Morrisons &c

But tomorrow is a date closer to the day I died, 30th April 2003

They Are Away

But all of Ixion is away oop North ATM so I have got almost no email to read today. But as my parents have come over to celebrate me being still alive for my 42nd birthday tomorrow at least I have got some "entertainment"

Early To Bed

And I woke up at 7.15 s'morning with no chance of going back to sleep, it was much too sunny in my bedroom. I may have to close the curtains tonight, I usually leave then open as no-one can look in

Dinner

And because I had eaten a big lunch I needed a small dinner so it was actually to my benefit as I had far too much salad in bags to last me 'til Monday so for dinner tonight I just had a big salad.

Printer

And I started scanning a book for the next door neighbour last night, scanned 39 pages then it died, wouldn't print or scan in the end. So I went online 3 or 4 times and in the end bought a printer/scanner from PC world, then I had a phone conversation with someone who sold me sum inks, which cost nearly as much as the printer

Out To Lunch

And a MOS came and saw me s'morning and said "We are taking "him" shopping in Carmarthen, wanna come wander about while we shop then have lunch?" I said yes, had a thoroughly enjoyable wander with a woman, bought summat in a Charity Shop, went had a lovely lunch, went and bought an enormous bottle of chille sause for a quid then came back.

And after visiting town for so long I didn't need a pee even when we came back

Later In The Morning

Ooh, feels strange. Yes, I went to my new workplace yesterday and I felt so rough afterwards that I didn't go to Tai Chi but by next week I have "someone" with me 4 days and a couple of nights. This sitting on my arse all day every day seems to be at an end. Which is obviously good but scary

Morning

'Ello there, calmer day.......

Work

Good lord. That was the first ½ days WORK that I did in nearly eight years today. Triple good lord, I was sh*tting myself s'morning but it was actually really easy for someone competent on 'puters as me. The staff were very nice, said "big thank you, see you next week" and sounded _so_ impressed with how much I had managed to do
OK, it was only voluntary but the next word in the name is "work"

Well I was slightly apprehensive about "How could I work with so many beautiful women, I will just dribble" but as it happened I had an office to myself. Bother

Work

And I am off to do my first days (voluntary) work for a number of years in't morning. Both excited and scared

Freya's Lift

And last night Freya's lift came to pick her up. We were delaying a bit packing etc so he said "Can I bring this stroppy 2 year old in?". I said "Of course" so he came in to meet me for the first time. He looked at me carefully and said "Dad, he's a pirate!"

So "Pieces of eight" I replied

Purchase

So today me and my case worker went to the Vauxhall dealership in town, sat there talked for a bit then the salesman came up and I leased a brand new Vauxhall Zafira 1.7 CDTi 16v diesel "ecoFLEX".

Madness, I have never been close to this buying a new car thingy before.....

Madness..... they call it madness....

Uphill

And today I managed to make it the whole way up the hill outside my flat forwards, a great "Well done Neil" moment, I took a pic but I am not sure if it is visibly uphill, drop me a line if you can think of anything different I should have done

Greeting

So as I told a MOS last week I am grumpier in t'morning, so this morning in my head was the phrase "Bore fu*king da", yes I am slightly bilingual. Does it count swearing in another language tho, would folk who only speak Welsh understand?

"Good ffyc morning?"

Washed

So I had a wash tonight and because of that for the last hour or so I have been wheelchairing about with no boots on. And good lord, my right boot is a few cm adapted because my right toes are down and not wearing boots it seems really relevant that my right toes are hitting the ground but not the heel, whereas on the LHS my whole foot trounces down

For Odin's Sake

So this afternoon my beautiful daughter Freya came to see me. First things first, I asked her if she wanted to watch a DVD video that Jackie had leant me, she said yes. It was the first film I have seen in some months/years and I really enjoyed it. Freya did say "I expected to enjoy that but I was surprised at you"
For dinner we had those Tofu pieces marinaded and I must say they were excellent.
I had to email Morrisons this morning and said how delicious they were and as I can't visit two shops as I am an assisted cripple (not that we did visit two yesterday) so why don't they sell 'em. Wait and see I s'pose

Good Lord (Odin)

Well today I received an email from my old friend Tim, just double good lord. I am reaally pleased to get in touch with him again

Tunes

And I was given a new CD last night, Melanie she is called, and she doesn't eat meat!!

Paul

I haven't had my brekky yet and I glanced at an email from Denyse and she said Paul, the second of my staff, has had his police check and will be starting work next Monday
