Mint Spys

Then we headed into town to fetch some of the ingredients for the mince pies I am making next week with Alex. I will buy mince and eggs in Aardvark on Thursday but I got flour and unsalted butter and a baking tray etc today

Scared

So s'morning me and Alex went to gym to do sum exercises. As I am getting better, and trying to get betted still, I climbed the stairs to gym today. While I was half way thru my first exercise it suddenly went "Beep, beep..." there was a fire alarm. So we had to leave the building by the stairs not the lift this time. So after 10 minutes in the gentle rain outside we were allowed back in. I thought "..." and climbed the stairs again partly to prove to me how much better I am. Then we went in and finished my exercises. Then we headed out thru force of habit I got in the lift, headed down got there and came straight back up and walked down the stairs to prove to myself that 2 ups and 2 downs is possible and I could still walk back out afterwards

Space

And everything is on hold now and I am watching telly as the astronauts are about to take off to the space station.

I am a bit puzzled as I was too ill to be aware when it first went up. Previously the last space missions were in 1969 (when I was born) and onwards from there

Hooray

And me and GGTGG went swimming today and I had as much fun as usual. Doing so I noticed that I am getting better in... a way but I can't be positive about swimming at all

Right Hand

Just WOW, cooking tonight I chopped 4 or 5 things with my right hand. The reason I say wow is just that it is so much better/easier than it was last week which was so much easier than the week before etc

Headware

And while we were in town s'morning looking for another pin on board to stick up my "How well are you getting on" newspaper cutouts etc we had to go to another shop and buy more Christmas headware to wear in the car

Marginally Chaotic

So this Sunday I needed to change the bed s'morning and it is Timmy working today and it is not his favourite, or most effectively done, task making my bed.

THEN we have to nip to Morrisons to check out the various tofu products that Tim swears are there but last time I was in the shop, with no Tim, I couldn't find any. Because the tofu burger thingies we bought from Aardvark are full of some coating (ghee?), which is well calorific apparently

Climate Change

So 195 countries have signed an agreement on summat that Timmy doesn't believe exists, climate change.

Gord knows, hope it improves life

Quiet Weekend Day

And as I look out the window to see the rain I think we will have a quiet day today.......

Nipped Out

And we nipped out later to the Tafarn Pantydderwen and had a socialise with locals night. Which was actually quite pleasant, folk recognised me and said hi and we all chatted

Yum yum

And we had that na'an bread pizza again for tea, like we do every Friday, and it was as delicious as ever

Gymtastic

Then we didn't have time to come back here so we were 10 minutes early for gym class. It was a small class today, only 3 students at the start although that was un to 4 by the end. Again I was doing my get down and crawl backwards exercise but when I had finished I crawled back to the stand up on here seat and this time I pulled my right foot forward instead of the left, I left the left out of the way so I was just using the right, and I pressed down and stood up like that. Fark, it is IIRC 13¾ years since I was able to stand up on my right leg, it felt easy today.

Nearly 14 years....

MegaWalk

So s'morning before gym we popped into Morrison's to have a look for some version of the Tofu Burgers which Timmy sez contain too much fatty cover in Aardvark. So I said to Alex "Bring the chair but push it behind me, I will walk 'til I am exhausted" but I walked in't shop, half way to the back turned left and walked to the other end, looked around and waljked all the way back to the car by myself. It seems like no time since I couldn't walk a couple of yards

Aardvarking

Then after Argos we are heading to the Aardvark Christmas Party. We will get a mince pie and a mulled wine and a 10% discount off shopping. So we will buy much tonight and go back tomorrow for the fruit and veg which is delivered on Friday morning

Emergency Shopping

So I got out of bed and saw Timmy and he was holding the staff kettle, saying "It's broken" so we got online and ordered one from Argos and said we would pay in store so we get a receipt

Knackering

So s'morning I went to gym and did my 10km cycle faster than last week.

After 8km I said "Knackered" and Timmy replied "But...." and I just cheerfully went back on for the last 2km. Dunno I s'pose my laziness overtook me 

Instead

So instead of going to the comedy gig tonight we headed down to Farmfoods and bought loadsa tat. Well when I went in one of the 'til workers said "Ah, hello Neil, sorry, we have no sweet potato oven chips or ice cream lollies. Sorry".

Thankfully she was joking....

Am I that notorious.....

X-R-cise

And as I had cried off going to gym after dentist today we first of all headed into town to get more salad from Morrison's. Without my wheelchair, we left it at home.

Then after shopping we headed down King St to look at the venue that there is a comedy gig at tonight. We couldn't find it, so parked at the far end of King St and set off on foot to find it. It is the 2nd last building at the other end so we were able to explore access etc. Then we had to turn around and walk (nearly) the whole length off King St to get back to the car

Dentist

And this mornings fun involves a trip to the dentist for a checkup. Hopefully I have learned loadsa stuff about brushing and my clean between your teeth attachment so hopefully......

Yeah, she was positive etc but still it wasn't a very pleasant experience

Nooneraft

Then this afternoon we had to go back to The Pound Shop and say "This Xmas tree light that I bought yesterday doesn't light" but they didn't have any more battery 20 light ones left but as Alex said "There is a plug in't corner" we took a plug in version. Once Alex had been to the garage to fetch an extension it works
