Walkies

And I had the longest walk without my walking stick today that I have had in over 8 years. No stick between my front door and my next door neighbours

Scared

Aargh. So Ed (he's back) came round s'morning then we hung about and watched some telly together then my Social Worker came round to assess me and see whether they were spending cash on the right aspects of my care. Then we went into town to give Denyse a lift back to her car as she got a lift up s'morning

Dinner

So I had a very small dinner as I had eaten so much at lunchtime. I tried to make a Grilled Cheese Toastie, and while I feel it needed some toasting on the cheese it was nice anyway. I think next time I will put a piece of bread in the grill with cheese on, grill it, add another piece of bread then toast the 2 remaining outside bits

Blinkin' Flip - what a day

Gosh. Well first of all Paul came round and hoovered for a while, then he took me to the dentist. That was maddening in that they were very nice, examining all my teeth, accepted that I can't clean as well as I wan't, x-rayed my teeth etc, then made an appointment for me to see a hygienist and then see another dentist in 3 or 4 weeks. I will see the hygienics to clean up my existing teeth before proper surgery. Then they charged my £65 for the privilege. Which does my head in a bit as obviously NHS dentists are no longer capable of fixing peoples teeth, like they used to 15 or 20 years ago

Then after the dentistry I wasn't feeling rubbish so we went 1) to Waverley stores and bought some more juice and some more snack bars too.

Then 2) we went off to........ and bought that Toby chap's birthday present, which is now all wrapped up and in his card.

Then 3) we went to Wilkinson's and bought a mirror and fittings, then had lunch which was very nice, Panini with cheese and tomato which they then took off and grilled and brought us these delicious warm thingies

Daughter

Then this afternoon my daughter came round to visit, in her new school uniform for the new year etc. It was fine and I didn't insist I took photo's either

OT less

I tried to phone Sarah the OT twice this morning then Denyse phoned me and said "She has just phoned me to say you were trying to contact her. You mustn't have got the email she sent you yesterday to say sorry for today but she has had to go home to see an ill parent. Hopefully see you next week"

Paul

So s'morning I was sat looking out the window. Then Paul came round later and we found a private dentist in Carmarthen, went down, checked that I could get in then made an appointment. Then we went shopping. Now we are back cooking my dinner then we are going out to a Folk Club later (noisy link)

And while in the folk club I was complemented by a number of people about how my walking seems to be getting better. I left my 'chair at my table and walked across the club then into the loo then back 2 or 3 times, that's all

...Inside Her Insides

So I went next door earlier and had 2 cans of cider. Blinkin' flip, I was as pissed as if I had had about 7 cans of beer

Visitor

And that Toby came and really enjoyed his dinner. He is starting college tomorrow, tomorrow. My first born is going to college, how old must I be then?

Healthiest

It occurred to me yesterday that of all the 8 or 10 people who live here I am the only one that has 'my staff' doing extra "stuff" all the time. One other resident has 2x2 hour sessions with "someone from an agency" but that is all, no-one has anything like my staff.

Fixed

And last night my PC wasn't able to access Broadband, as in it wasn't able to access the Interweb. I phoned and spoke to someone and they said it should be fixed in a couple of hours, so I went to bed, woke up s'morning and the Broadband light on my router is blue again, it works again

But I wasn't awake enough, I woke up, went for a pee and instead of going back to bed like I wanted/needed I popped into the living room to see if Broadband was working again. By the time I had stopped cheering I was too awake to go back to bed

Sloe Gin

And I am now having the first drink I have had since last Thurdsday

No Memory

I have no memory at all of my last job but apparently I was good at it

Freephone

I saw a van advertising a freephone number. I thought I bet not from mobiles. Yes, I looked and it costs 20p per minute from a mobile. So I went online and looked arount and then I found a number that you dial before the 0800 number on your mobile and it just charges you for a normal call, not the 20p per minute

Bookmarks Button for Chrome

For a number of weeks I have been using Google Chrome as my web browser, genarally I am very happy with it but it refused to put a "bookmarks" button on the toolbar that's already there, either use another toolbar or do without. So every couple of days for a number of weeks I have searched the Interweb for an addition, I couldn't find one. OK, I only found one and it sulked in my PC so I deleted it. Today I entered "chrome bookmarks button" into Google as usual and this time the first result was correct, now I have a button

Telly

And I am watching a strange program about rock bands playing acoustic guitars. Strange but pleasing

And it is making me feel a bit f**ked as I can no longer play

Sleep is for the medium

So I woke up and got up at 8.15 today. Not a lie in but not quite as early as recently

B,B,C,C,B,B,W,W

Well that Paul came round today. We did loadsa stuff, we looked online, checked stuff, checked local hotels then we booked the hotel that we are staying in for Absent Friends in Yorkshire. After much more busyness when we didn't have a chance to book private dental care we went shopping in Waverley Stores and bought loadsa organic food and drink.

See you

Oh my good lord, we have just booked for me and Paul to stay just around the corner from Absent Friends, we are going on Saturday night, the 17th

Weak

Sleep is for the weak. Again
