Snip-ee-de-dooh-dah

Snip-ee-de-ay. So I had a hair cut again today. But there is summat wrong with the clippers, they seem to be full of someone else's grey hair which they drop on the floor after cutting mine

Uber-Cycling

And today we had to do a long cycle as I will be away seeing Sara tomorrow. So today I managed 10km in just over 42 minutes (OK, 7 seconds over) whereas last week I set a record and "only" took 45 minutes and 27 seconds

Walkies

And this afternoon we headed out for a walk around town and almost exactly copied the route of this one

How Much Reading

So I finished a book yesterday and started reading another pretty much straight away. But the old book had a "how much have you read" % at the bottom of the screen whereas the new book didn't. After much looking at one thing and another on it I eventually got stuck in on the Interweb. Eventually I found this page which gave me instructions of how to get it up once more

Bother

So s'morning I thought "Ah, bank holiday tomorrow, better phone leisure centre and check" so I did, after about 6 hours of clicking extra buttons to choose choices I eventually got to speak to someone. I said "Bank holiday tomorrow, are you open?" all expectantly. Unfortunately she said "Yes"

Nooneraft Out

We headed out for a trip s'afternoon. We didn't know where to go so we popped along to see (from below) Dryslwyn Castle but disappointingly there was no "Buy ice cream here" van sitting in the car park

Picking Up

And tonight I was in t'loo again, my 'stick fell over again this time I tried and succeeded in picking it up with my right hand without holding any support with my left hand. For the first time in so many years etc etc

Pizza

And G Biv had his first na'an bread pizza for tea tonight which he did enjoy, apparently.
A wee bit proud of the whole concept

First Proper Day

And it is Roy Of The Rovers first proper day on duty alone today.
  • Or is he called Roy G Biv?
        • And me and G Biv hearted over to gym for a Sam class, which was as much fun as ever. At one point today I was walking back and forwards up&down 3 big steps. In one direction I held on with my hand on the chairs to one side but in the other direction I paused then went for it without holding on. It was the first time in nearly 15 years I have been able to walk over steps without holding on to summat

      Grooviness

      A bit excellent it was tonight. There was not too much boring people playing boring tunes and generally it was enjoyable fun

      (Sigh)

      So me & Timmy went to gym s'morning and I had to do mainly lifting with your hands exercises and they were so much fun. After lunch I did the washing up as we are heading out for dinner tonight, to Clubb Iechyd Da for a bit of a monthly Folk Night. But I saw them s'morning when we popped in to pick up our organic veg

      Right Hand

      Today as usual I was sitting on the loo and my walking stick decided to fall over from its leaning position. Today I reached down with my right hand, got to within a couple of inches and it stopped moving. I thought and bent my knees and back a bit further and was able to reach and pick up my walking stick, off the floor, with my right hand.
      For the first time in 15 or 16 years

      Walkies

      Then we popped out for a walk around town. We parked on Lammas St. walked up a bit, someone said "Up the hill" but I said no, I wanted to walk around, up the steep bit past Iechyd Da, along King St and back down by the court building and back to the car. It was a relatively active walk but one that is so possible nowadays

      Poolwards

      So we are off to the pool in a bit. Not for Aqua Aerobics as she is crying out for the school summer holidays but just a session in the pool.
      Hoo-fscking-ray
      Protest, protest, protest. Aargh, it was full of kids, the changing rooms were full of tat that some kids had left behind etc. Not a happy chappy.

      Delete Broken #4

      Seems to have started working again, just after Ixion switched itself back on after 9pm tonight

      Good Program

      And today I just watched the fourth episode (I have already seen the first 3) of Forces of Nature by Brian Cox and it impressed me enough to write about it here

      Mega MEGA Cycle

      And we headed to gym s'morning and got stuck into cycling 10km. I did it faster than I have ever managed today, in 45mins and about 27 seconds. Yes, I am getting fitter etc

      Delete BROKEN again, 3rd post

      Sigh, big fscking sigh.
      Yesterday  I posted positive but today it is not working, again

      Delete Fixed #2

      Yesterday (and day before) I said this but it is working again today. Gord nose

      Headwaying

      So at lunchtime we are heading west to try out the Headway Swansea group, they seem a lot busier than the Carmarthen group so it might be a good group to meet some new friends etc
      Wow. That was a bit different than the Carmarthen meetings. We didn't know what to expect so just turned up and were in a room full of folk mainly just chatting or playing board games. And all the board games had been chosen because you need to think clearly or remember summat etc. So we played Rummikub (Tile Rummy) and Kerplunk. The woman sitting at the table with us won all Rummikub games, I think she has practiced somewhat
