Viewing Property

Then s'evening we went to look at another new property.

Mmmmmm, I think. 

There is loadsa work to be done but loadsa cash to spare. And it is way bigger than it looks from the pictures, it goes a long way back, yes I liked it. So next time me and Paul will have to look at it and if he sez yes then we contact Denyse etc.... then an offer can go in

Good News

And I got not one, but two, pieces of good news and thanks for getting involved today.

(Link from one of the pieces)

Spring Time Today

And I actually had to take off my fleece for a part of the day

'Wimming

Then we headed off to the Leisure Centre and went swimming. It was as much fun as usual and the showers in the disabled changing room still don't work properly.

But as I was doing exercised with the dumbbells (noisy link) I noticed that my right wrist is so much better, again. (I noticed this yesterday too)

More Reason's To Shop At....

So first thing s'morning Gareth came in to replace Alex, they handed over then all 3 of us headed to Carmarthen, dropped Alex off at the bus station (his car broke) then headed to Morrisons

Where I bought my usual small amount of shopping

Going Straight

And look how straight my right wrist is here, in a working kind of way

Phew, at last

So tonight I was playing some games and for the first time in a number of days I won solitaire and pool. Phew, it was the first time for ages (perhaps 24 or 36 hours)  that I have won both together. I did lose at t'other game that I play regularly but.....

Blueberry Planting

Then after lunch we headed out to Wyevale Garden Centre in Carmarthen and bought a new, bigger, pot for my blueberry plants and some compost. We had to ask a MOS which flavour of compost but they said "This kind" so we bought some. We came home and replanted the bush, there were loads of roots keeping each other away from the soil so hopefully it will be happier in it's new big pot.

At Wyevale it was so up/down etc that I didn't attempt walking, just stayed in my 'chair

Walking Is Getting Easier

So today we had to nip to Cantre Mobility to pick up my left handed potato peeler. So I got out of the car, switched on my FES, just got my 'stick from the boot and walked into the shop, down to the far end to the counter, into the other room to use their paying machine then back out of the shop. On my own two feet

Then we nipped to Morrisons, not to get my shopping but to get some cleaning stuff for the staff. Again I started walking but I asked SmallP to bring my wheelchair behind me in case I needed it. I didn't need it, walked about half way round the shop, back to the till then out to the car on my own two feet again.

When we got home I get out of the car and walked back into my kitchen

It is getting easier to walk every time I do it, a few weeks ago I would have felt knackered after such walking but today I am ready to do it again

That Needed Cleaning

Oh dear, so s'evening Timmy got his "cleaning" head on and went into my bathroom and took the "aid getting out" device out of the bath and cleaned it. Good lord, I suspect that we should add that to the list of tasks that the staff need to do every week, It hasn't been cleaned under since I got it, and it needed it

Busy Morning

So first thing s'morning we headed out to Aardvark and did the most of my weeks shopping.

So today I got into car with my 'chair, drove to town, parked, got out of the car without my wheelchair, walked to Aardvark, did shopping and walked back to the car

Then we went to gym and did another load of exercises in the weekly class. I am definitely getting better at it, I used to be able to do about 45 minutes of the class then sit down for the rest but it is all doable now

Iechyd Da

And it was Caffi Iechyd Da tonight. We turned up early as we had been round town looking at houses etc, so we just went rather than waiting for half an hour and going. At first it was too quiet, nobody to play giitar etc but in the end a few talented singer/songwriters came in

Beans

So I have just had my dinner at Caffi Iechyd Da, with a spoonful of baked beans on the side. The baked beans are made here. And they are delicious

Wheelchair-less

So we had to nip to Wilkinsons today so I could pick up some glue stuff for the floor and SmallPaul could get a sandwich for his lunch. I wheelchaired to the hall, stood up and walked to the car, we drove to the shop without my wheelchair, I got out and walked into the shop, had to travel miles to find the product we wanted, walked, paid, walked to car, SmappP drove back here, got out walked home and opened the door on my own two feet

Then I thought "Phew" and sat in my chair again but it is a step, tomorrow I will walk further etc 'til I am no longer dependant on this chair

At Last - a win

Gord, after a number of days loosing I finally won a game of solitaire, finally

Strange Shopping

And s'evening we did have a very odd shopping trip. We went out and went to 3 shops, getting one 1 item of the list in each one. At the end after 3 shops we had bought 4 items, unobtainable elsewhere items

Hoo-flipping-ray

And we are going off to the swimming pool in a bit.....

And back now, it was as much fun as ever but even I am noticing improvements in how my arms move etc

Loser

And I have just come into the kitchen for a brew. I sat down and tried a game of Solitaire. I lost. So I tried a game of Backgammon. I lost that too. So finally I tried a game of pool. Loser

So later I went in again to try and change my luck. So Solitaire. Loser - again, still.....

And again s'morning.....

Fatigued

So I needed a nap today. I was late and I was busy. Anyway just before I napped I was having trouble with one of my web pages, couldn't see the problem. Timmy looked and said "You have got 'A,C,B" instead of "A,B,C".

I couldn't see it at all as I was fatigued. I didn't sleep but rested my brain afterwards

Right Hand

And after I had my bath today I was thinking about how much better at drying me my right arm/hand has got. But I am out of the way of using it, I generally just dry with my left hand. What is the quickest and easiest way of breaking bad habits?
