Quiet Sunday

Tra la la...

Out For A Drive Tonight

So tonight me and Alex were bored so we headed out in the car, drove all the way to Llandeilo (via my old house in Cwrt Henri) headed back to Carmarthen and took the traditional route back, the one that was replaced by a bypass a few years back

That Friday Feeling

So it's off to Aardvark in a bit to do most of my weeks shopping, then to gym for a proper class then........ lunch & rest

Well I did it, a larger than usual shop at Aardvark. It went well. Back home for long enuf to have a cuppa and sit by my PC for half an hour

Well I did go to Sam's class. As usual she was nagging me to get on but on some levels just WOW, on the kneeling down exercise I can now just do it etc. I am so much better at nearly all the exercises

Test Results

And Timmy made the phone call that Alex was too busy neglecting me to make on Tuesday (She said "Phone me on Tuesday or Thursday"), and my blood sugar levels are within the amounts that they are s'posed to be, so I am relatively well

Strange Diary

So we are going swimming today instead of yesterday.....

And what fun it was. Again I was *so* impressed with the muscle memory caused by the FES, but I did loads of exercises then 4 lengths on my back and 2 lengths breast stroke

And a little girl in the queue behind us said "Oh, you are him"

Brain Injury

I was eating breakfast s'morning, watching the news, suddenly they said how Brain Injuries have increased recently and how the inital NHS coverage is good but rehab is letting the side down

Gymming

And because the whole timetable is strange this week we went to gym instead of swimming. Again just good lord, I am so much better, fitter, stronger than I was even last week. Surely I will reach the end of this "Getting better" thingy, I hope not for a long time tho....

All Windows Again

Then the delivery chap came with the new window handle for the spare bedroom. So GGtGG got stuck in, "Ah, where's the screws?", erm...... turns out a different MoS had taken them off and put them in the toolbox in the kitchen, not to worry, it is all done

Muscle Memory

So I am walking in the house s'morning and it really impressed me, it is too early for the FES to be fitted and already my right foot is behaving itself - keeping flat

Lets hear it for muscle memory

New Mobile Search Engine

So I was thinking that the search engine on my mobile didn't present answers in a large enough to be legible format. As Timmy had suggested yesterday I started using Google once again but...... I really didn't want to. So after a bit of searching on the web I found out that Startpage (which I use on my PC) did actually have a mob version, which works just as well but makes it all legible

VBG, I don't want/need them selling the results of my searches to advertisers etc

Nested

So the birds that are nested over the front door whose eggs hatched last week are now all flying round outside, showing the kids the world. How much bigger and more able are they, a week ago they were newborn and today they can fly!!!

Busy-ish Morning

So s'morning we need to nip to Drs to pick up 2 'scripts then go across to the chemist to get my script then to the pool to go swimming

No, well we got most of the 'script but there is more cream to be collected tomorrow. Then, as we were in town, we nipped to Wilko and got more "wash my chest" cream which apparently I will just always need now

But just wow for how much better I am in the pool even than last week. So no FES fitted in the pool (obviously) but wow to how much the muscle memory is making my right foot stay flat etc. And also wow for how much better my right wrist is at just staying in proper position

Winner, winner,

Tofu Dinner....

Cycling

And we went to gym today(1) and did a marathon cycle for 35 minutes. And just wow but my right foot is just staying flat, in a proper position

(1) Yes, not the swimming pool like normal Mondays, apperently we have swapped tomorrow too.....

"The Twelfth"

So today is a day of political ups and downs in NI, The Twelfth Of July parades which you can't hold on a God Botherers Day so traditionally in the past the prods were making the micks feel like loosers etc

Tofu Dinner

While I find it in bad taste I have today finally won all the competitions, I have been 2 or 3 behind but today I caught up

Unusual Shopping

Then we had to go to Morrison's and get veg &c to cook with Freya tonight. I also had to buy my week's salad, I had finished it today and had it on my diary for tomorrow but I may as well get it now

And it was well worth it, Freya (with a little help from me and none from Ed) cooked the dinner, and it was actually a bit lovely, worthwhile in the end, but what a struggle but we did it

But Freya has finished now, done that school thingy, my youngest born has finished school. How old must I be....

Up

And I am still able to stand up from my chair without using my hands to help.

It feels like such a big thing but it is actually simple, most folk can do it

Taste/Smell

And I sent an email to this charity today, asking them if there is any help available in or around Carmarthen

Cricket

So yesterday morning I watched the cricket on Sky on the interweb, looked good for England, I thought they might win today. I stopped watching yesterday afternoon, had my bath and nap &c but I was looking forward to catching the end s'morning

But England kicked their arse and won yesterday afternoon
