Dinner Out

And tonight we popped out for dinner to somewhere close to where I usedta live and currently not far away from Freya but I was astonished. A) it was really nice and tasty and B) it cost next to nothing, but it tasted like quality food, not cheap rubbish

Bank

And I was a bit thrown out by Lloyds Bank s'morning. I queued up, gave the woman my cash card and said "Can I have X hundred quid, please" she said "Type your pin number" and counted out the cash for me

So I needn't have taken my passport as the only proof of ID that I have now that I no longer have a driving licence

Missing Her Already

And we popped into town s'morning and forgot that the chiropodist was coming to cut my toenails. The floor layer told me when we got back

Almost Painless

And when he creamed my armpits tonight it was hurting perhaps only 2% of how much it was hurting 3 nights ago. It is still unwell but getting better and I still have 3 days on antibiotics.

Here's hoping...

Out For Dinner

Then tonight we are going out for the first "someone else's kitchen" food. Dunno where we are going tonight, I will leave it up to Alex(1)

And we just went to Morrison's for tea and we both said "That was lovely" afterwards. And it was relatively cheap. £13 for the 2 of us with 2 apple juices, 2 coffees and 2 buns between us

(1) No, my call actually, in the end

Weirdo Lunch

And we had lunch in the spare room today then. It all went well, I could find everything etc but it felt so strange

What A Day #27

So after the crisis s'morning, we popped to Morrison's where I bought the smallest Muesli I could find as more organic is being delivered on Thursday, then to the gym to do lifty/pushy exercises. On one of those machines, I asked Ed for advice, I said "I suspect that my right arm is lifting as far as the left now, is it?" and he said "Yes". It still hurts to move it like this but if it now moves nearly as far as the left summat must be improving

Thrown Out

So s'morning I had breakfast in the spare room and just as I finished the floor redo-er arrived. Conversation, then he shut the door and got to work. ATM there is big noisiness coming under the door s he struggles to remove all the tiles and carpet

And you should hear him drilling (noisy WS)

He has finished drilling now, so phew

Out

Earlier s'evening I did more preparation for the tile layer coming tomorrow then said "Can't stand it, gotta get out" then we went to a pub on King St (My local was shut, it's Monday) and had a couple of pints

Then when we came back I had to go into the spare room to prepare breakfast for tomorrow, that I will be eating in there

Breath.....

And today GGtGG came in an hour early so him and MM could get stuck into moving the heavy machines out of the kitchen etc as the chap is starting tomorrow so I will be out of there for the rest of the week

And Timmy just txted me from Malta to say "Tiler has just txted me, he will be with you by 8.30 in't morning"

Getting Better

And while GGTGG rubbed cream onto my armpits s'morning it still hurt a bit but 97 times less than yesterday so it is improving

Bank Holiday

So today is a bank holiday. That means no gym as it will be full of kids who are off school for the day etc, hopefully BTN Tuesday

Eating

And I nearly had to fill the bird feeder again. That's about 3 days since I filled it. Either more birds are eating or we are gonna have some fat pigeons

Foggy

And it is well foggy here ATM

Less Hurting

And having just had MightyMark put cream on my armpits I can say that it hurts less than it did yesterday. It still hurts a bit but it is getting better. I have another 5 days of antibiotics so hopefully it will continue

Next Week (or 'This Week' if you count Sunday as the first day of the week)

So next Tuesday the floor tiler is starting in my kitchen/dining room so it will be a week of eating out

And my team started rearranging the furniture, when there was two of them here s'morning, to make the spare room into an eat breakfast/lunch area next week

And I have done my last load of washing. Tomorrow morning, when there are 2 of them here, they will attempt to put the washing machine into the garage. And then GrumpyGareth is responsible for removing loads of tat out of the kitchen etc ready for Tuesday morning

Dinner

Then for dinner tonight I took a breath and tried to cut up (I failed, had to ask GGGtGG for chopping assistance) the Butternut Squash which I bought last week and was too intimidated to try.

But it was actually really nice roasted as main carbohydrate

Tomatoes

And the tray that has been sitting in the kitchen is starting to look a bit more useful

Walkies

Then s'afternoon we drove around town looking for a free parking space to no avail. So we headed into the pay&display bit at the end of King St. We parked there, walked to the other end of King St then turned around and walked back.

The only problem was that Gareth set my FES stickers as recommended by Sara t'other day which was fine for 200 yds then stopped working.  I sat on a bench, he investigated and found that as they weren't supported by my sockings in the new position they had simply fallen right off.

Lunging

Then s'morning I did the first of my (as instructed by Sara) 3 times a day lunging exercises. Which involves putting my right leg forward, bending it about half way (which I can manage now) then bending my backwards left leg as far as possible, for about 5 seconds. Dunno, it is supposed to improve my flexibility and strength

Done a second now, while I was cooking dinner
