OT

Then later Sarah the OT came to see me. We talked loads about new pathways in the brain after an injury so we can function. Also we talked about tone and how it is important to multi task so not to forget and put my right hand twisted while walking.

Next week we are gonna go and buy some blueberries at Morrisons and she will assess how I am walking etc

Shopping Twice

So today me and Timmy went out shopping for a new clock radio for next to my bed so I can listen to R4 in bed eg. First of all we went to Curry's and bought one, brought it back, plugged it in but it sounded sh*t, so we had to take it back. Then we went to Tesco's and got a much dearer digital clock radio so now I can listen to R4 in bed

New Library

So today that Toby chap came around first of all we took him out then we took him to the library where he learned a bit about using one, and after a few minute looking around was able to borrow 3 books

Then we went out and had a dinner in Pizza Hut which was delicious and I am trying not to make too much fuss about price ATM

Gym

So today I was back at the gym with Becky and Sam - this time I was in a class which felt a bit strange but went well. I was walking about the classroom without my stick and I had to do a fair distance

Timetable

And I was just about to go to bed tonight when I realised that "he" had done next months timetable so I had to write that all in, making a note of any queries before snooze

Headway

So we went to Headway meeting and it was as useless as usual, but as I said I want to climb and abseiling with them I'd better not leave too soon.

Then afterwards me and Paul went to the Stag and Pheasant pub which was noisy with people watching football, there I had a pint of bitter then was looking at all the shorts I couldn't decide so I asked "her"(*) for some advice and she suggested a Jagermeister which was wow and lovely but I drank it in about 15 seconds

(*) Who works across the road for Leonard Cheshire too

Rogering

So this afternoon Roger Weddell came down to talk to me again, he is some kind of psychobabbler that got in touch with me at Headway so I answered his loadsa questions and pocketed his cheque(1) for answering

(1) How old fashioned!!

Visitor

And after me and Ed had gone shopping that Toby chap came around to return the 3 books he borrowed last week and borrow a few more as he had finished them. He seemed cheerful and cool and went off after about an hour

And I think I might have to introduce him to the library as he needs free books etc

Wiv Ed

So Ed came round s'morning when I was still eating my breakfast as I had been on't phone to Lloyds TSB first to sort out my debit card but all is well now

Daytime Folking

It seemed really strange going to a folk club in daytime. The first 2 songs there was only me and Timmy as audience but it soon got busier and better

Napless

And it occurs to me that the Folk Club today should be at my napping time of day so I will have to sit quietly not listening to music etc in't car the way there and possibly the way back

Manana

So tomorrow we are going to a new folk club (hopefully) in The Greenfield Inn in Llanelli which although I haven't been is according to a contact well wheelchair accessible.

The FC is on hopefully from about 3pm to 8pm-ish

Debiting

So this afternoon me and Tim(my) went to (More Reasons To Shop At) Morrisons noisy to basically check out if my debit card worked over the counter - Which it did

Pink Hair

Then Claire the Psychobabbler came to see me and it went well. We talked about Toby and Freya and generally about me and it was positive

Replacement

So my replacement debit card arrived s'morning, I hope it works properly

And me and Tim(my) went into town and checked it out and I got twenty quid out so it seems to work

Groovy Visitor

And then Freya came around for her first Friday visit. I dunno if what we said was helped but she seems generally more pleasant etc and it was good to see her. We took her home afterwards but next week she is starting music lessons after school so we will drop her there

Honey Mummy

And today Paul brought me some honey from one of his mothers hives(1) and just WOW, it tastes different than processed honey but delicious

(1) Her new hobby

Plasters

So today me and Paul took my splint (off my foot) into Boots, showed them the pieces of metal making me allergic and they said "Erm..... um..... try this" but so far it looks good. Afterwards we put my splint back on etc and so far it seems ok.

Organic(?)

Oh sh*t. I can't bear to read very much of that now, as I wanna shout summat, but I will have another, preferably longer, look tomorrow

Neil again
God, I feel like a religious type who has just found out the devil is in charge after all. A very big thing to get me head round. And it was from a relatively truthful newspaper, if it was The Sun I would just think "Usual bollox"

Today

So me and Ed were sat here talking s'morning when there was a knock on the door. It was this Toby chap trying to put the day in, he had gone to bed about 8pm yesterday and woke up about 6.30 s'morning but he got up and was trying to get back into a pattern of appropriate sleep. We took him to Co-op and had a look round and bought him some food to take home.

He seemed well and cheerful so....
