Bowling

After my nap we went and picked up the kids and went to Swansea to go bowling. Oh what a day, I won the first game then Toby got better I let them win a game

Gym Crisis

After that I went to gym, what a crisis we had. The lift upstairs was broken, no-one could fix it, after about 20 minutes we had to take another lift to another room and have 2/3 of a gym class

Napping

And I was in bed s'afternoon when a member of Leonard Cheshire staff came to my door, ignored the do not knock sign, eventually read it and went away again

Shopping

First thing me and Paul went and bought a blown up helium balloon. We discussed it and decided to have it blown up today. When we brought it home I was able to write on the side of it, quite well and legibly, "To Carly, thank you and goodbye, from Neil, xxx"

It nearly made me cry writing that but it is done

Walkies

More walkies. Kitchen, washing up, thru lounge to bathroom, sit on loo for a few minutes then stand up and clean teeth and floss and mouthwash then walk back to.... oh no, forgot my bag, turn around walk and get it turn once more and walk to living room and chair

Delete

A few months ago I stopped having to say "YES" when I deleted and made them go away, not Recycling. More recently I had them not going to the Recycle Bin but I had to say "YES". A few nights ago I made it so I don't have to click "YES, delete this" but it does go to the Recycle Bin, which I usually have to empty every couple of days but it lets me check if I have deleted accidentally

I like it best like this

Telly

Good lord, I am actually watching a proper TV program tonight

Bored with it now, watched half an hour

OK, with various distractions it it still on and being listened to, it goes over in about 3 minutes

Cleaning

Good lord. While Ed was still here I snuck off to the bathroom and actually had a shower not just washing my 'pits. Then cos Ed was here he dried my shins/ankles put on more cream then splinted me properly

Out To Play

But me and Paul are taking the kids bowling and for dinner tomorrow night for my birfdé

And immediately after that conversation we also talked about me letting off a balloon for Carolyn on Friday when she is being buried

Ding

A bit with Ed s'morning but not going to a Folk Club tonight as a) I need to have a shower before we go out with the kids tomorrow, and b) They said there is none this week as it's just after Easter

Staff

And it occurs to me... Now that I am gonna be getting more staff perhaps I need to practice being clean to a woman. After I have said...... Gosh even the thought is hard work

Phone

And my Dad phoned me again, I don't think he needed to talk to me but he needed to speak to his Still Alive Son

Touring

Then this afternoon me and Ed went out exploring the local area. First of all we passed a castle that has the builders in followed by Paxton's Tower which has been described as "A Gothic Tower, Erected by the late liberal-minded Possessor, in Commemoration of our Noble Hero, Lord Nelson"

Ding Again

So Ed came round s'morning. There is no point going to shops as they are all closed for Easter but he did agree to cut my hair as my parents aren't over this weekend.

Phone

Then tonight my parents phones me. What can I say, they were saying "You are still alive and your precious sister isn't" etc

(Weep bitter tears)

Ed

And Ed came up s'morning, sat on the laptop then he asked me "What have u planned for today?". OK he is still on the laptop now.....

Still on the laptop...

And he's all gone home now, left me alone. And he has said "I am leaving my phone on if you need to talk" because they are all so worried about me, but he's gone now and I am as bored as I usually am on a Saturday night

Pembroke

Then me and Paul drove past many beautiful places in Pembroke (inc where he lives) and it was all beautiful, too hilly but beautiful

We ate there too, so next week I need to start cooking again

Shopping

We went into town, drove past Aardvark in town, paniced a bit 'cos it is shut, hoped the other Health Food Shop wouldn't be, turned the last corner and it was the only open shop in sight. Phew. They had been empty all afternoon as town is shut for Easter but one of the health practitioners upstairs was still there so they had to stay open.

Washing

And Paul came in and said "You stink, need a shower". As I had a wash my arm pits and bits wash last night I was brave enough to actually have a shower.

Now it is.... (Shhh)

Well it wasn't as unpleasant as last time so I might...... I might even shower more regularly now I am getting better

Walkies

AGAIN, I am getting better.

Slowly but at all
