Alex Mender

And Alex got stuck in with a hammer and the filing cabinet in my living room now shuts properly like it hasn't for a week now

So ta Alex....

Tommy Ducked

So today we went to gym and I got on one of the exercise bikes. And I cycled further that I have ever cycled on an exercise bike, 8 km (autoplay video, noisy) I did, I used to struggle to reach a few km

But yes, I am Tommy Ducked now, but I don't have too much to do s'afternoon

Smelly

And I used the first section of my spraying deodorant today. I wouldn't say "No problem" as I need to think about using it especially spraying it with my right hand but it worked. The future is now......

Swim A Long Way

So today in the pool with Timmy I swam 6 lengths breast stroke. And my right arm is much more able to do the strokes, keeping in position etc which it wasn't doing even last week

6 lengths, I used to struggle to do half a one

Small Ways

Lordy, I am still improving day by day in small ways

IxiFun

And there was a lot of fun had by folk on the Ixion do, oop in Yorkshire this weekend. I think I may go next year (more mobile etc) but dunno, it is such a distance away

Ha Ha Ha

Oh dear. These are just 2 of many but they got me......

Walking

So I was sat at the dining table at lunchtime realised that I had forgotten summat from the fridge. So I stood up and walked to the fridge without using my walky stick, I just left it on the back of my pushy trolley

I am so much better/more confident now

Smelly

And today I got it together to not just look at at and actually burnt some incense, but I was right, my nose is too fscked to actually notice a difference

Rugger

And we are gonna watch the first Wales game in the rugby world cup in a bit....

And I had to just watch the first half then bath/nap etc

So it started with Wales losing....  then it went on to them losing even more, but then Wales got back in touch and in the end they won by 40summat to 9 points or summat

At Cinema

So "we" were outside the cinema today and they are advertising one of my chat up lines as the name of a picture that's coming next week

Shopping

And as I forgot to buy milk in Aardvark yesterday we had to nip to shop today. I thought shouldn't waste fuel just buying that so we went to Morrison's instead and got my weeks shopping that I was gonna do tomorrow

Crisis

So s'morning I updated my iPad and it said "Password" and scared nine sense it stopped working altogether. Luckily Timmy knew how to reset it then I have spent a happy hour reloading my apps etc

Out

And we went out to my local pub to watch their big screen of world cup tonight

And England won the first match of the tournament.....

Fame And Fortune

So someone at gym today said "Have you seen The Carmarthen Journal this week?"

Sam-ing

Then I went and did an exercise class with Sam. Again it is hard to say why but I am better than last week. She did say to me that next week we can start getting about on the floor and generally doing exercises while I am down there because my confidence, my ability to get back up, is so much better than it was a couple of weeks ago

-ing

So we headed to Aardvark first thing s'morning and bought not quite as much as usual as I still possess loads of veg that I bought last week. I checked it all s'morn so I can confidently cook it over the next few days

Popped Out

Then s'afternoon we popped into town mainly for a nosey but while we were there we bought some more clean myself scrub that I use every day in't bath

Furthest Cycled

So today we went shopping in Aardvark (to get some upstairs stuff) then in next door so Timmy could have sum breakfast (while I drank a cuppa tea) then we went to gym where I did 6 km on the bike, the furthest I have cycled in some years

And I am knackered afterwards

Bosom-ing

So after Gorgeous Greta the Foot Fairy comes to take some money off me, me and Timmy are going swimming again. See how this breaststroke is coming along etc

Well she came and really impressed me with how much better the overgrown toenail on my right foot is looking now, again she cut well into the overgrown bit, making it smaller again

Then I went and did my swimming. It is a bit strange, doing breaststroke the right hand which on Monday was turning itself over has pretty much stopped, it is just doing what I tell it. So in between exercises and stretches I swam 4 lengths breaststroke. Which I couldn't do before my accident
