Into Class

And I am in a proper gym class at lunchtime today, in one of Sam's sessions

-ming

Then we popped to gym again. Again it was a really long walk and a difficult staircase but I managed. First of all I was on the chest press which was no prob, then I was on the overhead press which I really struggled with. Did 10 first time, only managed 8 second go but for the third I was just pausing for about a second between presses and I actually got carried away and did 12 to make up for the second. I was on 2 machines afterwards but that was the story of today

Different Shopping

Just wow. So today Timmy said to try shopping at Morrison's before picking up the veg and it took us about an hour and a half less than last week. Dunno why so much, quieter roads, quieter shops but there you go. So I suspect that my weekly shopping list has changed order

But I nearly had a crisis. I unpacked all the veg, put it away, paid for it then got ready for lunch. But there was no salad pack with the veg. Crisis, I was about to go back to Morrosons and leave my coffee to go cold when Timmy looked at the bill and said "There's no salad on here, have they forgotten?" when I remembered, "No there is more grown in the greenhouse" and went and picked today's salad. That is gonna be the arrangement for the week, I didn't require a refund or owt

Gym

Then we popped back to the gym and this time I was brave enough walking miles to the back and up the steep stairs to the new practice room where I did nearly 25km cycling then nearly 1km rowing

Apprehensive

Then s'morning me and Timmy need to head down to the dentist where a hygienist is gonna look at my teeth and no doubt criticise me in some way

No, she didn't say "Come back and we will fix this" so at a guess I am doing OK. I also bought some "spray on and see where you haven't brushed" stuff to use once a week

Walkies

So because I hadn't cycled the full distance today we set off in town just walking about. So we parked in an expensive slot as there were no free spaces and headed down to Savers where I bought loads of "good for me" stuff then walked down to Wilko and just walked the whole way round the outside and a bit round the middle before leaving for home

Confusing Gym

So the workout room @ gym has been moved to the back of the building, up steeper stairs for a few weeks. We went in today, got sent there and I was f-ing exhausted by the time I reached the bike. I was crying to RoyGBiv about how I needed to leave half way thru my cycle as I was nervous about a) going down the taller, steeper stairs and b) walking for about 8 miles to find the door again. He said do 7km so I agreed and did a further 2 before leaving. It wasnt as scary as I had thought so from tomorrow I just know I can do it, getting in and out

Out To Headway

So s'afternoon we headed to Swansea for a get together playing games with Headway Swansea. So now I am in bed and it is nearly dinner time. Dunno what I get from these meetings but it is so much better than swimming every fortnight

Reverse

And we headed out for a walk around town tonight, and actually went the same walk as yesterday but in reverse (although we didn't go up and down King St tonight). It felt a bit different, walking up the same height but taking longer to get up IYSWIM, but I managed it again

Event

And I looked out my front window s'afternoon and there was a fox in the front garden. He buggered off before I could take a photo mind

Walkies

So we headed out s'morning and parked opposite Aardvark and headed thru town for a walk. We walked down the pedestrian bit past M&S then up past Iechyd Da to King St walked to the end away from town, crossed over and walked the whole length of the Street back, crossed over back into pedestrian bit and along then down past the court back to the car. It was about an hour and a half of walking time so my stamina is getting better.

GGtGG did suggest at one point a stop/sit down but I said "No, this is therapeutic" and carried on

Off To Docs

Then we are off to the docs to a) make an arrangement for my testosterone jab, b) pick up 3 scripts and c) see the Dr for my annual asthma talkabout

Gymtastic

Then today we had a strange gym class in a different venue as they are doing up the gym room for the next month or so

Busy AM

Well we had a busy morning. First first of all we headed to King St and on the second drive down one of the parking spaces right opposite where we had to walk down had become free so we parked and walked down to Iechyd Da to say hello and pick up my organic veg

Then we headed out to Morrisons and picked up the rest of my shopping

Then we came home and put it all away and then got back in the car and headed to gym where I did ages in the hand cycle and a fair while on a new machine, it was kind of like a treadmill but moving up and down and left and right. Almost a dance machine

Writing

"Well all the paper in my room is printer paper so I stuck my head into the office and asked Gareth if he had any with lines. He looked in about 17 drawers, didn't find any but then made a strange noise and looked in his bag and produced about 1/4 of a book of A4 paper with lines on. He said he was giving it as a gift so........

And it went OK to start with, I was mostly between lines etc but by laird but it is hard. But practice etc etc"

Different Shop

Then after lunch we headed down to Farmfoods to fetch a few bits of food.

I tried buying one Ben & Jerry's pot of ice cream to see if I can make it last a week instead of eating it all at one go tonight

Summat Is Better

And I was getting dressed again s'afternoon when I went to put on my fleece, the one that I have been forced to put on right arm first for some years. I just thought....... and tried putting in my left arm first. That was as easy as ever but putting my right arm in next that I haven't managed for ages, it was harder but still relatively easy.

Now I need to reteach myself habits.....

Gymdoodly

And I went to gym at lunchtime, to gym not swimming pool, and decided there that we won't be back to the pool 'til kids are back to school. Anyway today I did various upper arm exercises and 10 mins pedalling by hand

Sara-ing

So Timmy has to drive me to Bridgend today where Sara has a new posh physiotherapy centre

And wow, that seemed to take all day but she has some incredible machines etc

Temporarily Broken

And my web page was down s'morning, by the time I had given up trying to contact them to see the issue (because it was nearly impossible) www.hippyweb.me.uk was back up and running
