Glorious Greta (or Luscious Linda)

So the 'cutting my toenails' woman is coming to take some cash away tomorrow. I am a bit gobsmacked, last time she was here she cut my big toenail so far back that the scar is still visible now, 8 weeks later. And it didn't hurt that much.

Gord I am in awe of her cutting skills..... (And marginally in awe of her beauty too but that is secondary) 

Dinner

And we had the rest of the bean stew that I made t'other week for dinner. Defrosted it, saucepan, sweet potato oven chips and garlic bread.

Yum fscking yum, it was delicious as even Alex told me after dinner

Relax

So today we went to gym to do the '4 machines then 10 mins on the bike' session, and again it was easier in so many ways than last week. Bendability, strength, it is so much better

See Ya

So Mark is off s'morning after his first 'on your own' shift and he hasn't done too badly. He had to be told "No, do it like this...." about a couple of items but he eg did the washing up carefully etc and he listened to my criticisms so hopefully he won't be too bad. And he knew about the jobs I have waiting for him but was too busy yesterday to get stuck in....

Stir Fried

And we had Stir Fry for dinner, stir fry veg, a tub of fruity juice and some egg noodles to fit in. It was very nice. I think I used to cook it, got into trying to make my own chopped up veg which didn't have the fruity juice on it so wasn't as nice so I got bored. However I have proved that I like this, I can make it, so at a guess every Monday or Tuesday.....

Dun Shopping, Now.....

So Mark came in today, it's his first shift by himself. So I took him to Morrison's s'morning which went well enuf, I got all my small shopping list etc.

In a few minutes we are off to the swimming pool......

Well it went OK. Did my exercises then another 2 lengths breaststroke (with my flippers). It went OK in the pool but when we came out we had to wait 15 mins for a disabled changing room and even then we had to go in the small, not enough room to function, room

Clear, blue sky

And this afternoon we were under a clear blue sky. Well sunny and well warm. Wintertime, where is it, it's November now.....

I Started The Month OK

Bollock-Knees

And I thought I recalled Ed's eating habits so I said to him s'morning "Want fried veg or Lentil Bollock-Knees for tea?". So yes, I did recall and he said "Anything but fried veg".....

Failed On Two

So I have failed twice this month, recently!!

Wibble. Suck Seeded in the end, sorry for talking nonsense

Scared

Festival Of Dead today.......

Tories

Hooray....

Exercises

Just wow again, how much better am I at my Tofustring exercises this week...

Second Things

So I went to my only class @ gym at lunchtime today. Again small improvements, I didn't used to be able to step onto the trampoline thing with my right foot, it was too high, now I can. Also doing the hold on and get down to the floor. I couldn't do it at all a few weeks ago, now I get down, crawl backwards, turn over and get into a sitting position on the floor then reverse the actions and pick myself up from the floor.

First Things First

So s'morning we nipped to Aardvark (*) and did my weeks shopping, milk, yoghurt, veg etc. While we were in there another woman came in shopping, it was Ann(e) who with Graham owned and ran it when I worked there

(*) We had to park out the back again, luckily they don't mind important customers parking there although you are not supposed to

It's all done now, quiet few minutes then off to my once a week gym class in a bit

Iechyd Daing

So, not much time after the last trip there we are going out to Iechyd Da again, just for a come all ye folk night this time

We got there early, we were the only customers for half an hour but it did pick up later

Gymtastic

As we went mega cycling yesterday today I just went on lifty machines. On the bendy leg one I was able to have it set to bend my leg further than last week.

Small improvements but they are coming every week

Dinner

And I explored in my cupboards then went shopping and bought veg so we are having a Pasta Lentil Bollock-Knees for dinner tonight

Ooooooh. Wasn't that delicious. I made noise eating it and Gareth also told me it was well worth the hassle. I had to remind myself how to cook it by looking at a very small webpage. And I did all the chopping with my right hand!!

Perhaps

So I am not sure. I said to Gareth s'morning "No swimming, half term....." he replied "Perhaps...." so I am getting all my FES on etc to go to gym and taking my trunx with me, we will see which is quietest and if we do go swimming I will have to take my FES off and wrap it up etc

So no, by the time we got there the pool was full of kids so we went upstairs to the gym instead. I got on a bike again but this time aimed for a quicker cycle. By the time I gave up I had gone half of the distance I covered t'other day but I only took a third of the time I took that day. Half the distance in a third of the time

Stirring Fry

And we are having a stir fry for tea tonight, which I used to cook once a week or so but haven't for ages. But as I can't remember what to do.......

And it was quite nice.......
