Timmying

So today I had the first unaccompanied session with Tim(my) and I think it went well-ish. He was supposed to be here with Toby but as Toby is away at min. he wasn't. Earlier today we went round Morrison's shop and I bought loadsa stuff to make tomorrows shop quicker. Later we found somewhere else to eat, I don't think I have been there before but it was a very nice feed. And cheesecake afterwards

That Chap

Then seconds after Claire CS(N)GPH left that Toby came round to borrow train fares to Wolverhampton to see that Julie who he was living with for ages as loadsa folk are paying for that, and he agreed to pay it into my bank account when he's there to prevent him spending it when he comes back

No pink hair

Then Claire, the psycho who had seen the kids, came to see me. I feel like crying as she was saying some very positive stuff about the kids and our relationship. She told me about the future, plans, too

Lunch

So for lunch today I opened the salad that I bought last night and the small packet of potato salad that I bought too. Good lord, it is more than 8 years since I ate potato salad and it is beautiful/delicious

Busy Bathroom

So before lunch I was sitting on the loo. The phone rang and by the time I had picked up my bum-bag and taken it out it had rung off. It said "The call was from Denyse" so I rung her back. While we were talking (and I couldn't wipe my bum as my good hand was busy holding the phone) the door knocked, a MOS to see me. So I had to say to Denyse "Hang on" take the phone away from my mouth and shout "Come back in ten minutes, I'm on't loo"

"Efficiency and progress.....

....are ours once more"

The strange lyric came into my head today. After much puzzling I looked online and it is The Dead Kennedys. So dunno but I like it

(The link is probably not WS)

"Kill, kill, kill the poor"

Sigh

So we had a late start s'morning as "they" had a meeting about me, but before the meeting Paul and Ed came over and took back the cake tin for Sarah (OT). Then they went away to the meeting for the rest of the morning, I didn't see them 'til after lunch. Then they came up and Paul did paperwork while me and Timmy played backgammon. It was the first time I have played in over 8 years and by g*d but it was fun. I lost the first match by one piece and won the second by 13!!!

Then after our games we went to Waitrose Stores and spent far too much on quality food

Carless

And "they" went to the Vauxhall garage and picked up my car but it hasn't been properly mended, on Monday someone will leave it in again

No Car

And the car wasn't finished yet, hopefully it will be finished by tomorrow lunchtime when Paul will be able to pick it up

Splinted

Good lord. So Ed took me to Cardiff to the splint fitters this afternoon. Gosh, so I only had a model made but it feels good already. In a few weeks I need to go back for the first fitting then another couple of weeks and it will be finished.

And I didn't have time for a nap today

Blogging

And as I was mid-blog this AM and it suddenly said "New, improved, download" and I thought for a bit then did it, and my blog now looks a lot better, some of my issues have been fixed. Still have to add links and bold etc but it is better

Ed-Ding

So Ed came round at 10 this morning. He phoned Ceir Cawdor Cars in Carmarthen and said "The window winder for the back seat is broken" and they agreed to take it in this afternoon and have a look. So he will drive me to Cardiff (the splint fitter) in his car and hopefully pick up mine when we get back

Folking

And we went out tonight to a new Folk Night (for me) at the Queen Victoria pub in Llanelli. It seemed to start off with 6 folk playing tunes to each other but did brighten up in the end

Caking

And today, later, that Sarah the OT person is coming here and we will together make a huge christmas cake. In a few weeks we will marzipan it then ice it the week after.

And it was excellent looking

And today we (well Ed) took it out of it's tin and set it on the box. And it looks even better now

Reader

And this morning as I no longer have 100+ Ixion emails to read, I have made a start reading my device. And wow it's excellent, much better for me than a paper book, but how to choose new books?

Reading Device

Then when we came back here Paul went to ask them at the office and they were able to present me with my new Kindle which does seem way more handleable than a physical book

Busiest Day

Good lord, so s'morning we went out to the Gym where I managed to impress the (beautiful) Gym Lady and we discussed what I need to keep doing in the future, then we went and had a lunch at gym which was way too hot to eat even as it was nearly finished. Mid bite Paul looked at his watch and said "Gosh, that has taken ages at gym come on, hurry up" then we got in my car and headed for Priory Day Hospital where another woman measured me etc then made a new arm splint to be worn at night.

Drunk

We went out to a Folk Club where I got drunk on whiskey macs

Visitor

Then that Freya came in, it was good. Tomorrow I won't be here so she came today

Shitty Day

Lord. This morning Ed came and got me. First thing we went off to Morrison'ds and did some shopping.

After lunch we went down and got that Toby chap to enable him to use the phone. He phoned chap and basically got f*cked off, he said there were no places available at college for now. So I dunno what Toby will do now, perhaps try A-levels again next year but for now...... dunno

Then we went off to Tesco's to have a look at the Kindle e-readers thing. Dunno, it seemed quite useable so we came back here and I bought one off Amazon to save £50. Dunno, there seem to be e-books everywhere, free ones, cheap ones and upwards. Dunno, see how it goes
