Pauling 3

Then after lunch we had to go back to that T place to try and get a fat persons belt to go with my jeans for Thursday, we only found one, so as a vegetarian I was so fat that I had to buy a leather one

Pauling 2

AND when we were in't shop s'morning Paul said "Do you like scones?", I thought so, said I wasn't sure but possibly so he bought a packet and butter and jammed them after lunch. WOW, yes I do like scones, I haven't had one for nearly 10 years but mmmm

Pauling

So with Paul in't shop s'morning I bought the ingredients to make a chilli fkavoured stir fry with noodles to make tonight for "us" and I took the first of my £20 per week for feeding them, well I only took £10 as I will be away for most of the week but there you are, it was a first

FTPing

And this afternoon FTP stopped working again. So I switched off my PC, went and had dinner and a chat, by the time I came back it was working again

Sunday Dinner

And me and Ed had a Sunday Dinner tonight. Nut roast (1 miniature each), some chopped and mixed ready to boil veg, and some roast potatoes and it was generally delicious.

I was glad that Ed was doing the washing up, especially the tray that contained spuds

Pubbing

And we tried the pub again tonight. There were actually half a dozen residents in the eating bit and 1 resident sat around the corner in the pub bit that I went into. His name is Steve (IIRC!) and he lives at number 12.

He is my neighbour and he was friendly

Food Shopping

Then today we bought ourselves a roast dinner* to make tomorrow night as Timmy was having one of my pizzas tonight.

* Nut roast, loadsa chopped up veg to boil, potato roasted with cheese, just put 'em in the oven

Can

Then Timmy bought himself a can of refreshment in town. It looks like a normal can but at the top is a closable lid. It seems strange, every other can I have ever seen has a ring pull but this one is much more considerate

Shopping

So me and Timmy went to town s'morning. First of all we nipped into Argos and picked up a coffee table that we had ordered, then we went boot/trainer shopping. We actually found some boots that I wanna keep in the second shop but trainers for gym were harder, I can't get wide enough ones to fit over my splint

Dinner

And tonight we decided to try out my new wok and had a stir fried veg with noodle for tea, and it was quick and easy to cook, not very dear to buy the ingredients and absolutely delicious, like food I used to enjoy before my ABI, that nice

Walking

And we came back from 'pool today, i was only be indoors long enough to nap so I left my 'chair in't boot of the car

Toast

So because I ran out of Muesli a day before I buy some more this week I had to have toast for breakfast. A) It's very hard to butter now, and B) It's just not very tasty any more. I used to like it but now.....

Bath

And I had another bath tonight. Few nights ago it felt really special and took ages but now it seems to becoming part of my routine again. Tonight I was in a bit of a rush, I thought "Shall I just wash my pits and bits" but then it occurred to me that having a bath wouldn't any longer and I still have to do the "Drying my bottom" which is a struggle. So tonight a quick bath, I still washed my bits and pits and relaxed in my grubby water for a minute

Tonight

And I was sitting outside reading my Kindle earlier when a family walked their dog past.

They all said hello :)

Gymming

And I am going to Gym later for the first time since I rejoined the real world...

And it went well, if as much fun as ever. I am so much better at many exercises than many other students, I was the only person there today who has not suffered a stroke. I said to a MOS that I thought of reducing my hours to one session a week but she said "No, one session will be enough to keep you as fit as you are now but as you are improving I should keep that up"

No Wheelchair

So last night after we dropped off Freya we came back here for ¾ of an hour before going Folking. We pulled up outside, I walked from the car into here, left my wheelchair in the car. OK it was only for 45 minutes but still progress, we left my wheelchair in the boot

And today my wheelchair was used at breakfast and ever since then it has been sitting by itself in t'other room and I am walking, pushing my relatively stationary chair

And I got into my 'chair to make lunch then abandoned it again...

And it was after half past three before I readopted it today...

Clubbing

And tonight was the emptiest folk club I have ever seen, finished early as it was empty

(sigh)

Then I thought we would be straight off to folk club with no time for a bath but after we dropped Freya off we had an hour spare, so guess whay I did?

Ex

Then Freya came round to see me, as she is away on Friday when she usually comes and off school today. Her Mum brought her down and came in to admire my house and it was generally just fine. I am coming to terms with not being her chap any more. It has been years but I was unaware for the first ages

Edding - quiet day

So we don't have much to do today, later, when Dicky comes in, we will go to the doctors to a) show him where it is and b) order a repeat 'script for cream for my feet, then show him the dentist

Later today Freya is coming in for tea, as she will be away on Friday, then we will take her and Moishe's daughter to guides
