What A Morning #4

Then when we were still out GGtGG turned into gym so we went there, asked first if the afternoon class was on but as they said "No" we popped upstairs and went on a couple of arm movement machines (on one of which my right arm is now moving up as far as the other by itself which is a bit incredible considering how fscked it was even last month) and did more Sara speed up/slow down exercises on the other machine then got on the "Power Mill Climber" upstairs machine

What A Morning #2&3

Then we popped down town and had to go to an expensive parking slot as all the free places around town were full. So we parked up in the old Tesco's Back Car Park on Lammas Street and from there first walked to Savers on Merlin's Walk where I picked more "rinse tour teeth and gums" stuff.

Then we walked back down towards the car and popped into Wilko where again I had to walk right to the back to find bleach and more antibac wipes on Petty Cash

What A Morning #1

So then we popped out to town. First of all we drove down King St, found a parking space and went into the Lyric Theatre. There we booked 2 nights at the Comedy Club there, for January and March and we booked a night at the Pantomime, Robinson Crueso, in again "shout at them" seats

Chess Based Witticism

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel over Christmas and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

I Think There's Nowt Happening

And I suspect that there won't be a replacement teacher for Sam's Pulse Gym class tomorrow. I spoke to "them" today and they didn't think a substitute would be involved. But I will just go there at Pulse time tomorrow and either take the class with some other instructor or get stuck into just exercising

Falaffeling

Then tonight I cooked a couple of small baked potatos for myself and a packet of Falaffels, which I haven't cooked for about 20 years. But it was fine, easy and nice (loads in the frying pan, I think next time I will try to use a gripper rather than a stiring tool.

But as it was a Don't Feed Timmy day there are half a frying pan of fallafels for tomorrow now I have drained them

Gym

Then later on we popped to the gym. I said to Timmy "What shall we do?" and he said "Right, Sara The Physio suggested......". Fark, on a bike pedal flap out as fast as you can for 20 seconds, then slow down to a more normal pace for 20 seconds, then back up, then back down etc etc. So I managed 10 minutes today and was panting very heavily which made Timmy happy by the end

Then I got on the rowing machine but it wasn't a scary

Organic Food Crisis

So s'morning I said to Timmy "Head off and pick up the veg then go shopping" then I suddenly got an email from the provider saying "Aargh, the van has left and your veg is still sitting here". So me and Timmy sat down, had a conference and decided to head off to Whitland to collect it. I phoned  to check they would still be there and a chap said "She has just left in the car for Carmarthen, should be dropped off in 20 minutes". So we popped in, fetched it, popped to Morrison's and picked up the rest of the food. So I had to send them an email and say just how grateful it I was. Even tho popping 30 miles in a car with just my veg isn't exactly organic is it? But it will taste nice for me

Smell

So s'morning I was in the loo having a pooh. I squeezed and then thought "????" as I could smell summat, at all. Now I don't know if it was a really smelly pooh or if my sense of smell is getting better.

Hope for the best

Golly

So we went to AquaAerobics today and the usual teacher wasn't there but a substitute did all kinds of good work

My Heart

 So Denyse was here s'morning to check up on GGtGG and see how he was getting on with me etc

Hectic-ness

Then after lunch we headed down past Swansea to see Sara the physio. Now first of all we had brought back the brace thing that I wear at night, talked about it and decided I was to keep it for now, with my staff instructed to tighten one of the straps after I put it on every night. Then I did loadsa stepping backwards and forwards and some work stepping with my right foor raised slightly on a cushion to see how well it is connecting.

Then at the end I walked the whole length of her lab and back without my walking stick and without holding onto anything with my hands, just walking like a proper person

Use Another Programme

So yesterday I was having trouble making the timer on my phone make noise to wake me up after nap when my phone is set to silent to avoid the phone ringing and "waking me up". I asked MM again what he had done last week, he said "Erm....." so we gave up. S'morning I looked online and downloaded to my phone an "Online timer (mobile version)" which lets ne switch my phone off a d still goes "Beep beep beep" after 40 minutes

Different Metabolism

So s'morning MM woke up, went for a pooh and then came out for brekky. Apparently it is traditional with him. Wheras my metabolism is different, I woke up, as traditional got up, went for breakfast and then went to the loo for my daily pooh

Social Care

Well the news says how social care is out of budget but luckily my care is paid for privately so I can still afford my staff

Well

So I don't seem to have done too much today but.....

So tomorrow I have to go see the (beautiful) Physio instead of going gymwards

Headwaying

So today we are heading off to a Headway Brain Injury Survivors type meeting. Which is unbearable fun but it is more fun than going to swimming pool which is the alternative

And yes it was. As every it felt a bit odd kind of "WTF are we all doing here?" but I won a game of Kerplunk and a prize for Xmas in the raffle

Seems Like Weeks Ago

Was it really just s'morning when me and my bruv and GGtGG went out for a walk along King St?

In my head it feels like ages ago.....

Memory

Aha, so after the difficulties last week I decided to try again, no looking for buttons etc, it just worked and putting it alive on webspace just worked too

Said tara

So we all headed into town s'morning, walked from one end of King St to the other and went into a Café and David insisted on buying us a coffee and a bun.

Then we walked back along the length of King St then took him to the railway station where he said we weren't allowed to come in and wave so we said tara and he got on a train back to Bristol where he will catch a flight back to Belfast Aldergrove Airport
