Feed Him

And Timmy is working today, he doesn't usually eat my food but he will make an exception and eat my na'an pizza that I cook every Friday today
Which we both enjoyed but I had a peach for pudding, which I bought in Aardvark s'morning, good lord, it was delicious but hard to eat without dripping etc

Odd Day

So unusually today's timetable says "Aardvark" then, oddly, "Phone call from Denyse" then "Gym class"
Well we did the first thing, it went OK, he said "That will be £58.32", I said "Pardon?" he double checked, said "Can I weigh this again", right £32.45 in the end. But I walked out of the car, walked around Aardvark, walked back to the car, walked around my kitchen to put it all away.......
But Denyse hasn't phoned yet, she must be busy but I need to go to my gym class in ¼ of an hour
Well she didn't phone, we went to gym and again I astonished myself with how much easier eg the kneeling down and standing up exercise has become. 
Denyse phoned Timmy later

Dinner For Three

So tonight it is me, Timmy and Freya all eating at Caffi Iechyd Da
Except I txted Freya and said "Where are u?" and she replied "Sh*t, I forgot, no buses now....." so we just had dinner for 2, but it was nice

Camera

So s'afternoon I was playing with my camera and I started using some of the touchscreen buttons at the bottom RHS of the screen, I discovered that if you use those you can zoom even closer than I usually would

Gym b4 lunch

So s'morning we (me & Timmy) headed to gym and we and did loads of exercises etc

Old Places

Then we went out to somewhere tonight. Gareth said "Where?" I said "I am trying not to say Cwrt Henri then Mynydd Cerrig but......." he said "Lets go" so marginally sentimental
I used to have a life, I still have one but it is so different

New Card

Then after lunch we had to nip out to More Reasons...... to try my new Lloyds card, which I ordered last Thursday. First of all it worked in the cash machine then it worked buying 1 item. So after we came back I cut up my old card and threw it away

Oh What Fun We Had.....

Hooray, my timetable says "Swimming" today.........
Well it wasn't too bad. So we took precautions in case the pool was too full so we could just go to gym but it wasn't too bad. I did my exercises and lengths

Pressie

And we nipped out to buy wrapping paper and a card for Freya. So now her extra pressie is wrapped etc and her main pressie should arrive here this week

Burning Bright

Then after lunch today we popped back to Tiger store. This time I had a plan, to buy Freya a bonus birthday present. Which proved relatively straightforward as it is a strange shop with lots of tat.
When we were there I also bought a sheep called Humbug (Baaa Humbug!) because when I was looking at him in the shop a passer by said "This is Wales, you gotta buy a sheep" so I did

Gymification

So s'morning eventually we headed to gym for an exercise session. I did my exercises then got on the bike. I only did 10 of my 20 minutes and climbed off. MOS protested but then I walked out of the room and walked down the stairs to leave.

Caffe

So s'afternoon we nipped out into Caffe Nero and had an excellent coffee. (So I won't have one with dinner tonight) This double chocolate cheesecake must be a myth

First

But before all the excitement we had to nip to More Reasons To Shop At..... and do my weekly shop.
Which was still smaller than my Aardvark shop on Friday

Perhaps

So today we are having a perhaps day on swimming. I will go along with my trunx in a bag but still wearing my sockings so it it is too busy we shall go upstairs and do a gym session instead
No, it looked really empty, by the time we had changed etc it was busier but not full of teenagers jumping in etc, it was much more civilised han last week

Debenhams

So s'afternoon me and Alex headed off to explore some shops, first of all we nipped into Debenhams, looked all around and didn't see a single thing that appealed to me. Except for women's clothing but as I am a man we didn't buy any.
Then we popped into Tiger, 2 doors up, and gaped in wonderment at some of the stylish tat they have on sale

Testosterone Working

And Alex was creaming my feet/legs s'morning and said "Wow, you have got hairs on your feet now too"

Hello Stranger

And an almost stranger was working today, my full time nurse Ed was working today
And he gave some worthwhile advice. While my right knee has been clicking when I walk, nowt I could do to make it stop, he did say bend it further forward in your step, which is working, if I bend it an uncomfortable amount forward it doesn't click. So now all I have gotta do is learn that so it will still work when I don't bend my knee quite so far....

Pizza&...

So we had the usual Friday Night Dinner of na'an bread pizza and chips which was as delicious as usual. This week we are on a fresh packet of frozen oven chips and they seem a bit...... different, possibly better than the previous packet

First Things First

So about 11 we went to Aardvark and spent the majority of my weekly shopping budget as usual. No blueberries this week, I tried blackberries instead for on my muesli
We were back home by 12 so I didn't get back in my wheelchair, walked around the kitchen and put it all away as there was time.
So in 10 minutes we gotta head to gym to my one weekly class. And that is making my brain ache somewhat, just getting down to a kneeling position there then getting back up by myself!!!
And Sam wasn't there but I did tell her substitute that Neil missed her etc. but AGAIN GOOD LORD how much better am I than last week. Today I was able to lift my right foot forwards over the hurdles, for ages I have done t'hurdles but had to move my foot around the hurdles but at last I can just do it now

Against My Will

So today I said to GGtGG "Lets go out for a long walk today instead of gymming" he replied "We can do both" so we have been to gym for a session on the exercise machines (incidentally I am a lot better at this that last week) then I walked down the stairs from gym next we are going to town for a long walk after lunch
And we nipped to town, parked outside Aardvark then nipped up town, I walked nearly the whole way up (to here), then GGtGG pushed me along King Street at the top to Lloyd's bank where I ordered another card, then I walked back the whole way along King St and down the hill at the end until I got back in my wheelchair about 2/3 of the way back down the hill
