Freya

Then Freya came along and had her dinner amongst other things. I got a bit upset because I will be away while they go "We will pay you f. all" next week, when my daughter, who I have missed more than half her life, was supposed to be here

AND the dinner that me and Sarah made was nice but too dry, it needed fewer bread crumbs or some gravy or summat

Mmmm

Then Sarah the OT came along and we cooked together, Aubergine Parmigiana, which I haven't tasted but it looks good, to go in the oven when Freya arrives. There was loadsas hassle griddling the OrgyBeans it took ages, there is no way I would do that alone but there are other versions of the recipe which will be much quicker to cook. Can't wait 'til me and Freya try it later

Scared

I received a scary letter s'morning. Initially I thought "I'm not taking a taxi that far" but after speaking to members of my family they already knew, my Dad will meet me there and Denyse is going to arrange transport. Aargh and Ho Hum

What a day

Wow.

Well firstly this morning I helped Ed change my bed, then we went shopping in Morrison's(1) where I noticed that the "Vegetarian ready meals" section in the freezer was much bigger than before, so polite applause for that. Then we came back here with the shopping and I had lunch and a coffee without sharing. Then we went out for a drive, "Where shall we go Neil". First of all we went to Dryslwyn Castle, near where we lived many moons ago, which made me heart beat faster even tho I couldn't walk up to it, but it felt special anyway.

Then we went onwards with Ed following my directions into Gelli Aur Country Park. He sounded surprised and pleased as he had never heard of it. Good lord, the visitors centre was even nicer than when I worked there but the college in there, where I did an HND many moons ago has got wrecked. The college is now apparently somewhere else but the old building is still there, with no roof now

(1) Where we had to wait for ages and listen to some bumf to get given, in the end, a free veggie cutting tool

Work

Then I went to the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales to work. It seemed a bit more organised today, by us rather, so we got it together for them quite quickly, then we had to find parts of photos which will be used in their competition soon

Slightly overhung

This morning but I feel as well as a.... now

Out

So later today I am going to May Day at Glynabbey. Hopefully it will be good. A bit scary, not very wheelchair accessible but we will try, me and Paul

Just generally WOW it was cool, we managed, new path in part of it, just generally well cool. We spent much of the 'noon in the music tent, it was very good

Lie In

So my clock said 9.01 when I got up today, a decadent lie in...

Then

Then after lunch Denyse came back, 5 mins later the door knocked again and it was Sara the new Physio. We met talked for ages about what I need to do and we made an appointment for her too see me next week.

Then the door knocked again, 3 times and it was Ed, Paul and Jackie who were taking about caring for me, what is involved etc

And when all 4 of my employees were here I unveiled my new hat

Busy Day

So I started off this morning with Paul, we chatted briefly then he took me to the Grasslands Trust at Carmel where we were driving about making notes and taking pictures of any litter. Some of the litter we didn't have to photograph as we photographed it a fortnight ago, but no one has picked up. Me and Paul conversed about this and basically decided if it hasn't been cleared in a fortnight there is no point in us photo-ing.

When we came back we had to go to Tesco's to buy some cheese and onion pasties and my recent liking, some custard tarts

Yesterday?

Where has yesterday's BLOG gone????

Broken

So this morning when I typed in "Lie In" for the first time then it said "Nah, BLOG is broken" and forgot it and wouldn't let me sign in again.

Later this afternoon when Ed brought me back from work I tried again and "Phew, it works now"

WT

Well amongst other stuff that was happening yesterday (the BLOG page has disappeared)

I was at the Wildfowl and Wildlife Trust doing stuff on their PC. I had to find loadsa picks both on their net and the Interweb and they will be used in a "Which animal or plant is this?" competition

THIS PAGE WAS REPLACED ON THE 13TH AS IT DISAPPEARED

Sh*t

So just now I went out, I was sitting looking at the road. Then a passing bird sh*t on my arm in passing. I thought "No" reached for a tissue, then thought again and reached for my camera first. Except my camera was still plugged into my PC, I had forgotten to put it back earlier, I had to get it back later

Shopping

So with Paul we went shopping, got another new bum bag but this time identical to last weeks died one so I instinctively reach for the right pocket, and a new first aid box with some plasters and Germolene(1) etc

(1) Because my middle finger on my right hand I bit the nail a bit extravagantly

.... And At 'Em

(sigh)
Up by 6.40 today....
(/s)

Tum Ti Tum

And a boring day, but looking forward to later when that gorgeous Freya comes to play

What an afternoon, I felt like shit but was pleased to see Freya and she seems to be maturing into an 80's rock chick instead of a modern poptress which I approve of

Fixer(new link now)

So my alarm clock went off early s'morning, I got up and waited for the man to do the "Annual Service of Heating" as they emailed me and said twixt 8AM and 12AM. But this wasn't a number of hours check, just that he was doing everyone's in the street and he would be here between.... At 9AM he arrived, checked the heating etc, interrupted me paying my leccy bill online but it is all dun now. He has finished and left, I finished my payment, all dun and dusted

Ed 2

And he came back and took me to the Headway meeting which was actually more interesting than expected. There was a rep of STAR who was talking a lot of sense about training folk back into work or work related stuff. Up until now I have thought "Nah, when I have got my claim I won't need to work and I don't wanna" but I may be bored and this talk attracted my attention and I may get in touch with them in the future

Ed number 1

So I had Ed take me to Morrisons to do some shopping, all good etc.
Then, as he wasn't changing my bed this week, we were at a loose end so we drove off to Whitland to see if I could find the house Bob and Dot (the organic farmers I worked for ages ago) but Whitland seems really different and I couldn't see owt today

And Ed is coming back later to take me to Headway. He phoned me yesterday and said "Wanna combine 2 items?" but I said if I go shopping, then come back here and have to cook an evening meal with you watching it won't work, so no ta, keep it at 2
