Walkies

So today, as suggested yesterday, I used my wheelchair into the bathroom, used it to carry my washing to the machine afterwards, then parked it and walked. I have been wanting to/feeling guilty for not walking more for some time now

And I walked while I cooked tonight. It was a struggle but I manged

Still walking everywhere. 8.23pm. 10.15pm now... Effectively all day

And I was walking all day, I went off left my wheelchair in the kitchen, shut the door then realised that I don't have a seat by my other PC so had to go back and get it. I'll fix this tomorrow 

Ahhhh

That's how I take a video. I was looking at my camera a bit puzzled today, thinking "It can take video's, but how?" but Alex knew, "Press the red button next to the taking photo's button"

Cycling

So I headed to gym today and got straight on the bike. I said "Don't measure my distance as if I do it takes about an hour 20 to finish and I am not prepared to do that ever again. I am just cycling for half an hour then we are going home"

Dentistry

So today I was able to brush my teeth and use mouthwash which I was advised not to last night but everything seems to have worked. The hole has closed over and seems to be well mended

Oops, shop

Then s'afternoon I looked at the veg I am cooking with and decided there wasn't enough. So we nipped to Morrison's and bought some broccoli and half a red cabbage to add. Wow but red cabbages have loads of content, I had to get a bigger saucepan out to transfer it to

Right, as it started to cook down it was looking like I had put too much water in after all. So I enquired off Timmy "What will thicken this?", he said "You haven't got any cornflour" (looking in t'cupboard) then suddenly he said "Lentils". D'uh, why hadn't I thought of that

AARGH, and I forgot to pick up a na'an bread for Friday......

Lunch

So then later I thought I would just make a cuppa coffee for lunch as my mouth felt weird. Then I thought "Eat yoghurt, that's soft" but actually had some yoghurt and 2 bananas for lunch, before drinking my coffee

Dentist

And Timmy phoned the dentist at about a quarter to nine and said "Neil..." and they said "Come in at 11.30" so...

Fark. So we went along, she prodded, said "That tooth is dead, not connected, want me to take it out otherwise you will get loads of infections?" so I thought for a minute then said yes. So she gave me loadsa jabs then waited for a minute then got stuck in. First of all she got some "pliers" then went to attach them, thought "No need" and just attacked my tooth with a screwdriver type device. She got in, attached it then instantly handed me the tooth, no struggling and pulling, it wasn't attached. Then put a rolled up bit of cloth on and said "Goodbye"

But again I did this trip without wheelchair. Timmy drove there, got out of car, walked down the stairs outside then to the door, reversed route on way out. Up/down the stairs, not around the longer stairless route for wheelchairs and those of us who can't use the stairs

Right, I have had my bath and my nap now and the anti-hurting stuff has worn off and it does hurt now. But only some, not enough for a "Parrot to eat anything" etc

Everybody Needs Good....

Then (noisy link) there was a knock on the door tonight, I went to see who it was and it was Simon and Vicky my new next door neighbours, who have just moved over from England and seem interesting

Sigh

So.... a quiet Sunday, we nipped to More Reasons To Shop At... (noisy link) yesterday as I ran out of salad..... and the only thing on my diary was "Ask Timmy to phone about AF" and he said "No, you had such a stressful journey last year, it took 13 hours to get there, just head for SOS this year"

Aargh

Then after Ruth had been round telling me to make a life etc I had a bath and was just sitting on the edge of the bed about to get in it for my nap when the doorbell rand. Ed answered it then came back in and told me it had been the new next door neighbours coming round to make friends.

Aargh, missed them

Surprise

Then someone came and knocked on the door s'morning. It was Ruth and her son who was born about the time I had my accident and is a bit massive now. Basically she invited me to her house for tea once a month or so in order that I can start having a life once more

Early Shop

So as I had run out of salad and needed sum today I thought I may as well so my weekly shop a day early. So 1 basket, 1 bag of stuff but we couldn't get any na'an bread so I will head back on Tuesday or Wednesday and fetch them

Calendar

Someone posted a link to his wife's calendar for this year

Busy Day

So I am having a busy day today, on antibiotics so not being "naughty" but Sam did txt me earlier to say "we" would come over later.....

Which they did, they are on their way back to Sheffield and called in to see me one last time....... they were only here for an hour but it was nice

HNY

Well Happy New Year to one and all. It must be about..... 2003ish. WTF's happened to all the intervening years, I don't remember them. It's now 2016

Java Snow

And as I managed to update one of my web pages with snow Java today but I can't find a way of making it just be over the picture, any clues pls let me know

Just in time

Then we headed over to Aardvark half an hour early and just caught them, they were closing early too but I did manage to get everything

Anti

And I started taking my antibiotics s'morning. I had initially thought "Wait 'til after tonight" but as I would then have to wait 24 hrs so couldn't start 'til Saturday I just went for it

From The Sky

And when we were heading out to gym today suddenly the sky opened with a massive hail shower that left a couple of inched of hail. Scary and slippery

Less Busy

So me and MM headed off to gym s'morning. I did 4 exercises plus a full 20 mins cycling afterwards so it is slightly easier than a few days ago.
