Then...

Then "we" went into gym at much protest. GGtGG said "Gotta" and I protested loads saying we had missed gym time 'cos we were at the Opticians, but he sort of disagreed.

We compromised in the end, drove there, parked car, left it, walked into gym, walked up stairs then into gym room. Because I had walked all the way, inc stairs, he just got me on 4 machines, no bikeing, which I thought was right and correct and fair.

You see, he knows I am lazy, said so himself today so....

Optician

And we headed into Carmarthen to get my checkup at the optician today. He did loads of tests as expected and said at the end that even tho he wasn't having to change the lens that my eyesight has improved since last year. Which does give me some pleasure

Still Broken

So the heating is still broken. Landlords wife phoned us s'morning and said "Can't get anyone before 8.30 tomorrow morning" so still a bit chilly.

I am not gonna bath today as we are going swimming tomorrow so I will have a shower there even if it is taking longer to fix this than hoped for

Obsessive

And I am beginning to think I may be a smidge obsessive taking screen shots, many screen shots of the same game of Solitaire

Solly Thingy

And I won the second game that I played s'morning

Light

And for the second day in a row I have had breakfast without having to turn the dining room light on, it is starting to get lighter

Kindle-ing

And I bought my Kindle a few weeks ago, tried reading which I liked but my hands and my eyes didn't seem to work properly together. A few days ago I discovered sitting at the kitchen table with my Kindle in front of me (or for that matter sitting on the loo in a poo*ing position) works well. I bought a copy of Terry Pratchett, The Colour Of Magic (Discworls volume 1, the first of an enormous series) and I am currently 38% of the way through it, oh what fun reading is, you need to remember what you read last time etc etc

Clean

So s'afternoon at bathtime I had a wash with water out of the kettle. What a performance then I had to call Alex and ask him to wash my back with special stuff... then I had to go and get dried then call him again to put more special stuff on my boobs and back

More Reason's To Shop At.....

And we are heading off to buy the rest of my weeks food at Morrison's (noisy link) in a bit

Ho hum, we did it, didn't buy much but important stuff

Winner

And "we" won another crossword game tonight, poltergeist was the first answer that I got

Flowery Tools

And we tried that Amazon Viewing thingy tonight and watched the very first episode of Fawlty Towers, and it still made me smile

Shopping

So we nipped out and went to all the supermarkets in Carmarthen that weren't the big two. I think we found three and nowhere sold Sweet Potato Oven Chips, Tesco has the monopoly.

I did buy some 'much cheaper' potato waffles from somewhere so Timmy can't complain too loudly

Leave It

And "we" put the bird feeder back out now the wind has dropped somewhat but it used the last of the feed to fill it, so after lunch we shall head to Wilko's and buy some more bird feed.

And distract me from the heating issue...

And we got some, a big bag, in Wilko for “not very much”

No Hot Water

And today the hot warer was leaking all over the utility room

And the landlord came out, fiddled, said "I will phone a plumber for Monday"...

Aaargh, the whole event has unsettled me, I just don't feel right....

So I don't have a bath today, tomorrow we will go to swimming pool, just have a shower then Monday it (hopefully) will be fixed

Exercise IS Good For Me

So today I started the new "get even fitter" routine thought up by gord nose who. So I went and did my weekly class @ gym, stretching, walking, bending, more walking etc, as usual on a Friday.

Then (the new thing) as I left that I went and got on a bike and did 10 minutes cycling because...... dunno what the official reason is but it is s'posed to make me even fitter

And it wasn't too hard, no doubt by next week they will sat "Cycle all the time" or summat

Busy Day

So we have the usual Friday, Aardvark first, weeks shopping, then gym for my only taught class per week, then lunchtime....

Reading in't Loo

So my Kindle....

Right I went to the loo for my pooh s'morning, with my Kindle. I sat there read and poohed simultaneously. I seem to recall reading in the loo as a teenager to avoid chores, I can't recall any loo reading since then, there we are, progress. My hands/eyes together won't work very well, generally I need to sit @ a table and read, but sitting down on the loo seems to meet those requirements 

Physio

So Sara the physio lady came round today. She looked at my feet at great length to see gord nose what but she did it. Then for ages she was speaking to Timmy but simultaneously watching me walk up and down the kitchen. Sometimes just me, sometimes me and FES, sometimes stick and no FES, sometimes with both. She did say she would contact the BoTox bods and ask for that in my arm and my leg, after we saw the bod on Tuesday who said yes, go ahead with leg if necessary.

Generally she was just really pleased at how well I can walk, balance etc

And when she commented on being married for 25 years I missed my chance, I was too busy to say "Since you were 7?"

Bath

And I have just has a bath. My first this week. On Mon I was swimming and showered, on Tues I was off seeing the vascular bod so there was no time, Wed I was swimming again and finally today I bathed

(Sigh)

And GGtGG remembered to bring his swimming trunx today...
