Wiv My Daughter

Then today that Freya came over. She had pie and cous-cous whereas I only had cous-cous as I had had such a big lunch after my swim. Amongst Freya's baggage was a beautiful container that she had made at school. Also I beat them, Freya and Paul, outrageously at a game of cheat that we played with cards

'Wimming

First thing s'morning Paul was here talking nonsense with me

Then later me and Paul went swimming. Gosh, it felt better already. Paul asked me if I had done some magic exercises over Christmas, I was looking better. And I could handle being out of my depth too. AND when walking only 1 step that I took my right foot tried to tern over. A mixture of concentration and good luck seemed to keep me foot correct

As Paul said today was the best session we have ever had in the pool

Chrome

And suddenly tonight all the pics on my website were half sized and some of the txt was grey and tiny on Chrome but not on Mozilla, I couldn't find any way of fixing it. So I tried to download Google Chrome again but it said the version on your PC is newer than this one so no, so I had to delete Chrome (untick the boxes "Shall we forget everything"), then reinstall it and thankfully it seems as good as yesterday.

Thursday

Well Ed was in today. He spent most of the day saying "What's wrong?" but perhaps I was grumpier than usual. Later s'morning we went to a charity shop in town and dropped off my old bedside clock (radioless) and a set of sort of lace thingies, to tighten your shoes withiout pulling, that didn't get used

After lunch we went to the gym where today I had Sam to myself, the other 6 folk who were there t'other day weren't here today

And today we had to say to her that I had got a letter of someone who wanted us to come over there next week at 9.30AM to tell me how well I was etc but she said "Don't worry, I will contact them and tell them no need"

And I kind of broke it to them that when my cheap membership runs out next weekend I will stop coming. They all tried to say otherwise but dunno

Weary

And we had an excellent FC tonight, it seemed really good

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
