No Swimming This Week

So we couldn't go swimming today as it's half term, full of kids. I had said to MM to go walking in town but he was scathing, insisted I go to gym and do various exercises

AND I did 10 minutes on the walking uphill machine and only needed to rest for a short time before doing more exercises. Even that machine is making such a difference, last week I only managed 7 minutes and was nearly crying by the time I had finished, already I am so much better

Shreking

And I just switched on telly just as Shrek 4 was starting, as I haven't seen any of the first 3 I was a bit bemused but GGtGG suggested watching it and just WOW, I am a bit of a fan now.

Long winded animation but well worth the effort

.... Bloody Sunday

And I have changed my bed and listened to the washing machine all morning now.....

Pub

So we headed down (or up for that matter) to the pub tonight for a few pints. Yes, I haven't lost any weight for 3 weeks but I did today so I went straight way and had a fattening night

Restful Weekend

So today I shall..... read my novel(1) more

(1) This still gives me a lot of pleasure, simply being able to read at all after so long

Garlicless Pizza

Then we had the traditional Friday night dinner of na'an bread pizza and chips for tea, which was as delicious as usual but I made it without adding spoonfuls of crushed garlic, which I usually do. It was still delicious but a bit different

But I think RoyGBivs wife will allow him a kiss when he goes home in't morning, she complains most weeks as he still stinks of garlic. Apparently, my sense of smell is a bit fscked nowadays

No Plastic Here

So they are trying to make the world tidier

Small Bug Crisis

And yesterday Timmy panicked about the number of small black bugs near their cereal, also near the enormous sack of bird food that had only had one lot taken out. The bag was full of these small black creatures so we put it in the garage overnight. Today me and RoyGBiv went out, he poured one feeds worth in a container which I put on the feeding device in the front garden and he poured the rest of the kgs of food along the back garden, below the hedge which is full of birds. Then tonight we will pop out and buy a couple of smaller bags of seed, ones that you open and empty onto the feeder straight away

So we did go out later and buy 2 or 3 smaller bags of food, either it will all fit on one go or I will be able to seal the top and sellotape it shut, so no more creatures, hopefully

Jablicious

So today, before I go to the gym class, I have got to head over to my doctors and a) pick up some 'scripts and pop out and get them in the chemist next door, and more to the point b) have a testoserone injection

Really summat to look forward to

Oh what fun we had. But it was done, the fscking injection took ages to be injected in, it is thick gloopy stuff which she had to squeeze for ages to make it go in.

Hotter

And it is loads warmer today, just everywhere. The radiator in the hall which I dry my sockings on is just fully cold.  The central heating has just decided it's as warm as a warm thing

Another Day, Another Dollar

So me and Timmy headed gymwards this morning and first of all I did the climbing up steps exercise for 7 minutes without a rest.

Then, after a few mins panting and gasping, I got on a pedaling machine and did 1500m

Aqua Aerobicing

So we are going to aqua aerobics today.

So today I was looking at the piles of towels and clothes to take when it occured to me, I asked Timmy.... "So, all these clean clothes we need to take to the pool, shouldn't I get changed here, after lunch, so then within an hour I will be taking them back off at the pool, and we will have 15 bags of dirty clothes less to bring home with us". He thought about it, said "Try it today, wear your trunx on the way down.....".

Ooh and didn't it work well. It was much easier getting changed etc and much easier getting back to the car afterwards with less luggage.

And wasn't it as much fun as ever but I did it and am recuperating

Bicycling

So me and Timmy headed to gym s'morning and I just did 8km on the bike, not the 10 I was supposed to. I thought I was a fast as..... but Timmy reckons I was faster last week.

But I was still fscking knackered

Terry

And I was mid Terry book when chappy said to me "Did you see that program t'other night?" Which I hadn't but was even more impressed after watching "Terry Pratchett - Back In Black"

Pool Free

So we're not going swimming today. Hooray

Because we are going to a Headway group meeting to do...... fsck nose what I actually do there

And I did mention it to a MOS and he said "Get's you off swimming" so I suppose I shouldn't be so negative about it

And that was actually good this week. By a combination of it not being very busy and my head being in a different place we just headed in and looked for someone else to sit with, so conversation was a bit fuller. So I actually enjoyed it

Scrotes

Scrote

                                          And W*nker this says to me

Oooh

So today I went into the bathroom to have a bath. I mentally noted that it was cold outside but opened the window anyway as I was running the bath to let the steam out. I felt the cold draught but thought 'It's ok I will be in the water in a minute' but the toes on my right foot started to hurt loads, they were objecting to the cold air.

I have always known my right foot was fscked as the toes are all bent over but I didn't need reminding

Nippy

Well me and MM headed into town for a walk about this morning and what can I say except it was fscking freezing.

But a long enough therapeutic walk was had

We went in s'morning as I will be stuck to the telly s'afternoon watching the snooker final

Oooooh

And I did see the woman who works in't pub tonight who promised me a pint if I swam 10 lengths of the pool this week, which I did. And MM who is a part time advanced swimming technique teacher was able to tell her that he was there and saw me do it

And the pint did slip down more specially than usual

We're Off To Watch England Getting Beaten (Hopefully)

And we are heading to the pub up the street for dinner tonight while we watch the England/Wales rugby match

(Sigh)

We lost in the end but it was a well close match, one team winning then t'other. They took the lead 4 mins before the end
