....ing

And me and Gareth headed off to Aardvark s'morning.

First of all GGtGG fitted some new pads to the FES as someone is coming into gym s'afternoon to have a look etc.

But then we went, bought my usual amount of stuff (but they had no muesli this week) and an extra meal worth of veg as Ed is coming in tomorrow and we are gonna cook a meal from scratch

Well the visitor (an MS sufferer) came in and took me away from the last 10 minutes of class as she was talking to me & GGtGG. She is well unhappy with the FES but doesn't know how to set it etc, she has an appointment at the hospital next Tuesday and I said "Tell 'em you need support" but dunno. It did her some good talking to me she did a couple of steps...... dunno. She did say she is gonna come to class next week so we will see it any progress has been made

S'morning

When I woke up s'morning I had a strange song in my head, going over and over. My iPad told me during my breakfast what it was, by whom?

Espresso

Then me and Timmy went out for a brew, we are in Caffè Nero and it is nice

Gymeroo

It was a strange day at gym, Timmy said unusual exercises so we^h^hI went on a bike for a long distance session and instead of stopping after 20 mins as usual we cycled 7km and it took me 33 mins

Good Tunes

So we headed down to The Parrot tonight as they were s'posed to be having an open night and it was actually rather enjoyableif half deserted

For Old

And wee were coming out of gym today and sitting there having a brew was a nurse who remembered me from Bath, that long ago. It was nice to catch up etc but she did admit to being the first person to cut my hair into a mohican.

Which was nice, it sorted a fault in my memory

UnSwim

So we headed off to t'pool for 1pm but even then it was much too busy but as I was still wearing my sockings we just headed upstairs and did many exercises

But I was able to wear my new headphones and listen to a very funny comedy to distract myself from the dullness involved in cycling, which was nice

No FESing

And I am still astonished about how right my right foot is even without the FES yet today. It has done me so much good for a short device sitting on my belt. My right foot just behaves now!!

Failure

And while I was having breakfast I tried 3 times, 2 of which ended up the same and I failed

That's better, 11'ses

Fark, no, I will cry

So I was looking thru what's on telly tonight and I thought suddenly, "No, I will cry, not watching that" because last time I watched summat like this I was crying

Nipped Out

Then we nipped out as I couldn't find my earphones and I wanted to listen (and distract myself) at gym t'other day. So we nipped out, got some for £2.30 and they work. In Wilko they were from £1.05 to £10 so I think I chose well.

When we came home I thought "Ah, how to tidy them up and put them in my bumbag?" but luckily the interweb told me (noisy link)

Gymming

So me and Alex went to gym and did a slightly different play. First of all I did 10 minutes on a rowing maching then 12 of my 20 allocated on a pedal machine. I was too knackered after rowing to finish my whole system

Garlic Bread

And we nipped out after dinner to Farmfoods to fetch more garlic breads as I do seem able to taste them nowadays and we were also trying to get more pizza style baguettes but they didn't have any in stock

'Wimming

So at lunchtime, after Gorgeous Greta has come to sort my toenails out, we are going swimming in the pool

And I couldn't do my usual get ready stuff of piling the equipment up on the hall floor as Greta is coming and she might think less of me

And she did come, she was as beautiful as ever and as efficient cutting my nails as ever

Sigh. We did it. It was busy but with not as many nutters jumping in etc, so we managed. 2 lengths, some stretchy exercises, 2 more lengths then we got out

Change Of Plan

So I had my pooh s'morning before I had my breakfast, not after as usual

Pee

So I went to bed, got up about 6 hours later needing a pee, then had to get up for another about ¾ of an hour later

Out Walkies

So at dinner time we drove into Carmarthen, parked opposite Aardvark and went for a walk along Merlin's Walk. Alex was pushing my wheelchair but we didn't use it at all. So we walked up Merlin's Walk, turned right at the end and walked along there to the next turn then walked back to the car

Sunday bloody.....

So it's Sunday today. Despite the fact that me and GGtGG commented on how yesterday felt like Sunday...... dunno why

But I stripped the bed s'morning, washed it, Alex has put it back together.....

Fredumpkining

Right, after she forgot to go to Iechyd Da on Thursday Freya is coming here for dinner. Dunno what we are eating (or in or out) I will have to ask her when she gets here.

Well, after we pick her up

Oh that was nice. So we came back here and discussed choices in the end we said "Oh back to Frankie and Bennies" where I had a crushed pizza of summat I hadn't tried before and it was pretty lovely

So Freya has gone home after about 5 hours and we haven't had a single cross word said either way

And for that 5 hours I didn't go to the loo, this is still getting better

Nip Morrisons

So we nipped to Morrisons to get more blueberries and I thought "May as well do most of weeks shopping, more small salad later in the week" but when we got home I notice that my small pack of half weeks veg is a double pack, another one zipped to the back so it might last a week anyway
