Games

So s'morning I lost a few Solitaire games but since then I have won a Solitaire game and a Backgammon game. Just wow

Second Things Second

Then we went to gym. Gosh it was hard work today, me and Sam were practicing that "getting down and back up" thingie and I was able to go down about twice as far as last week. We had to do loads of other stuff too but this was the scariest

Just f*c*ed afterwards

First Things First

So s'morning we went to Aardvark where I didn't buy as much as usual but (perhaps because)  I walked in and back out of the shop to pick up my parked 'chair outside

Then we nipped to Wilkinson's (ex Tesco) and bought more gloves and cream to clean my feet and more printer paper for the staff PC

More Xmas Shopping

Then today after lunch me and Gareth headed out to Parc Trostre at Llanelli for a look at some different shops. We chose Trostre because Gareth has been there before and said the whole centre is modern and wheelchair friendly. And we found the other half of Freya's pressie and half of Sam's so we only have to find the other half of Sam's and my Dad's

Trysordy-ing

And I went out and did my (computer based again) voluntary work s'morning.

Today we noticed, I had entered about 10% of today's data alone, in the first third of the time, 'til Gareth came in and said "Shall I read that out to you?" and read out what I was typing in. So in the last ⅔ of the time we did 90% of today's work  

Xmas shopping

So we went Xmas shopping s'morning and s'afternoon looking in loadsa shops. At a guess we have done about half of it but we have exhausted most of the shops

And we went back after dinner to the only shop we hadn't been to, T, but they didn't have their Xmas goodies in yet

Bath Fixer

‎Then, t'other day, I finished in my bath, got dried then shouted "Help" to Paul. So he came in the bathroom, I explained then went to bed for a nap. While I was napping Paul fixed the bath, reattaching the side decoration bit which has been coming off for a number of months

Out To Eat

So as I was having a crisis feeding Freya and Timmy together we went out and had an Indian meal at The Elaichi Indian Restaurant in St Clears and it was rather lovely. There was waty too much on the menu but we found summat and we all thought it was lovely

Samless

And this morning I am torn between crying "Missing you" to Sam, the gym teacher, as we had a cancelled class s'morning(1) and being pleased that I didn't see her and couldn't carry on with my "Falling over and getting back up" practice that we started last week

(1) Or rather "didn't have a class"

Fixed It

And Timmy came in s'morning and within 3 minutes has answered my technical queries for today

In between

And in between the business me and Gareth completed The Guardian Quick Crossword again, completed

ANOTHERfixer

And we came back from hospital just as a chap was sitting in a van outside phoning the landlord and telling him we weren't in, he phoned back to say "No worries" and came in to fix the hot tap in the kitchen

What a performance he has had, whoever fitted it last made a mess of a job under the sink, I think it is good now

But as he has been here all afternoon I haven't been able to have a bath or a nap today. The bath I can do later but it's way too late to go to sleep now

Returning

Then we had to go to hospital to return the device that I have had attached to me for the past week, they will write to me and Denyse to tell us of any issues

Sara-ing

Then Sara came round and was making me take one step forwards then another back then forwards again to really try to make my brain remember how to walk properly, not to one side etc. After an hour of it I was exhausted, she is coming to see me next Monday to keep up loadsa work 'til my FES is collected

Fixer

So then s'morning the wheelchair fixer came back with the proper front wheels for my 'chair and fitted and tightened them in no time.

So hopefully it will last until I no longer need it....

Out at DT

‎So instead of cooking my present from Aardvark we went out to Burryport and sat looking at t'harbour while eating i‎ce cream. Now we are heading home to cook our Aardvark dinner

written on my BlackBerry 10 smartphone

Just wow. So later I got stuck into cooking summat that I made loadsa times before my accident but haven't been able to do for years. But I got stuck into chopping and it worked in the end, it was actually easier than I thought. So thanks Aardvark, that was a lovely dinner you gave us to make

Better and Easier

‎Gosh, going in to my bathroom has got so much easier since I learned to use my right hand/arm to close the door

Shopping

Then as a wheelchair re-wheeler is coming tomorrow we needed to go shopping today, which we did.

Wot A Difference

So Paul has brought in some "clean your windows" stuff and what a difference it is making. The windows are properly clean now, not just as if someone rubbed a bit with a grubby cloth, properly clean now

Sleep

Gosh, last night in bed I remember being awake from about 4 to 7 but then I must have nodded off as next thing I knew it was half past 8, a lie fscking in
