Tobyless

Then Toby said he had to go off for a date and couldn't come for tea but he is coming later to dry an armfull of clothes

And he did so hopefully he can go off with the Princes Trust tomorrow for a few days

Oh What Fun We Had

So s'morning me and Ed went into Carmarthen, met Toby and Julia and her two little ones, and waited at the side of the road for ages until the Olympic Torch came into town. There was a bit of a preceding parade then it went past then it was done. Hoo flippin' ray, a once in a lifetime not very treatish treat

Home

Then today we went to my new house for a bit. It was strange, we made it walking around the side to the garden and it occurred to me, it's no. 53, so it's new name is "Herbie The House"

Fruity Water

And today as a gift Paul gave me a bottle (1.5l) of Volvic volcanic water with a touch of strawberry which I have finished already as it it so hot today but we nipped to the shop and bought more (and more blueberries!) as it was so nice

Towning

Then we went to town and had a look for steps up to Paul's van but couldn't find any, we went to a mobile shop where he replaced the dongle that I probably won't need but JIC...

J&T

And we met up with Julia and Toby earlier and he does seem much more controlled around her, so PHEW

Extra Shop

So SmallPaul came in s'morning, did my feet and then took me on an extra shopping trip to Morrison's because I had such a big list for Monday with all the extra cheese and Crème Fraiche and other ingredients for our cooking on Tuesday, and I thought I may as well get some of the other extra's that were on Mondays list, eg once a fortnight mouthwash and once a month cream for my feet etc

AND as Smally said "You smell" today we had to get some deodorant too

So it was the biggest shop I have got in some years

More Busyness

First thing today Sara The Physio came to do loads more stuff on my arm. It is helping, I am getting better but she accepted that I am way too busy for a few months

So over lunchtime me and Paul and an extra learning Ed went to swimming pool. I can see that it is helping me but I still would rather not go

And in the pool Ed tried standing next to me with foam dumbbells which I now can move up and down properly, it is helping my movement. But Ed is such a weak beginner that he struggled moving them up and down

Then we came back here 'cos I had more salad to eat for a late lunch.

Then I nipped to bed for a nap

Then later when Freya was here I was gonna help her to cook pizzas for us too, I grated the cheese and took out the naan bread that I bought on Monday, it had gone mouldy in the heat. It still had time on the best before and it had been sitting in the bread bin since Monday but it had gone all mouldy already as it has been so hot. So I had to have summat else from the freezer for tea.

Then we got on that Skype thing to David and Nora on the new whole family laptop, but it does seem a bit pointless to me.

Quiet

And I felt a bit strange getting so tired then napping late so didn't do much later. I am currently 91% of the way thru Harry Potter 5. Dumbledor has just died

Exhausted

Gosh, so after a bit of reading we set off for the gym. Today there was me and 2 stroke sufferers, gosh, I am better off than them.

Then we had to go to the doctors to pick up my 'script for asthma medicine.

As we were coming out of there Toby txted me and said "Lift to Kidwelly, please?" as he has made friends with them again.

Then I went to the Chemist and got my 'script made up

Then we drove to Toby's, picked him up and took him to Kidwelly

Then we went to Morrison's for more salad for my lunch for a few days

Then we came back here and I had a very late nap

Ding

So Ed came in s'morning and did my feet first thing. I feel a bit unsettled as the cash hasn't been paid into my bank yet and everything is......

It has now!!

Folking

So tonight me and Timmy went out to Llanelli folk club but as we were here too early it looks a bit busier now

Feed Me More

So tonight we were sitting around when Toby txted me and said "Can I do sum drying and have a shower?" but when he came up I thought "It's dinner time, I can't eat alone" so I had to make Toby another dinner which saved him a few quid out of his giro.

What A Morning

So Paul came first thing s'morning and did my feet etc, then Denyse came and tried to reassure me somewhat, then Anthony Fairweather came to discuss my finances. Just aargh and wow etc. He took details of all the direct debits which come out of my bank and is going, when he gets court permission, to pay them out of a new, Neil's claim, bank account which he will set up and fill with cash.

So just AARGH but I think he is gonna take a lot of the stress out of my life

Then Paul nipped off to be replaced with Timmy

Cooked

Then later Toby came round and cooked me pasta with vegetables and cream cheese and cheese. It was delicious, and not too big this week as we didn't double it like last week.

OK, slightly too big, we both left some, but not as massive as last weeks

Hotness

Yesterday it was a beautiful sunny day but still cold. Today, on the other hand, it is sunny and as warm as a very warm thing

So today for the first time I am just wearing a shirt, no jumper or vest.

Gymming

And we (me and Ed) drove over to the gym and did loadsa exercises. During and afterwards Bex was videoing me doing various stuff to use with students so they can understand BI better. At the end I had to sign off my rights etc

Didn't He Do Well

And Toby who was with us tonight was rather exhausted as he had to get up at 8.00AM s'morning to go on the Princes Trust but he managed

All Of Us

Double good lord. So s'morning we went and showed my bungalow to my brothers. Just WOW etc. Then we went shopping in Morrisons then came back here for lunch. Then afterwards we went out to show "them" the gym and swimming pool leisure centre. Now I have come home for a nap and David and Gareth are off somewhere else for an hour

OK, they came back, we Skyped Denyse so they could say hello, then we went off for food. On the way we called down to Toby's, he came out of his house saying hello and we loaded hi, in the car and took him off for dinner. So tonight we went to the Toby Carvery where again I sat down properly and they pushed my wheelchair out of site. It was nice food and not too expensive as I was paying tonight. Then we took them to a Folk Club, dunno what they thought. We had to leave early tho

So David and Gareth left early tonight as they need to be in car for about 7.30 in't morning

Slept and FTP

So last night my back wasn't hurting, I was comfortable and slept.

And Classic FTP is working again s'morning
