Wrinkly

And I got an email off Sam telling me that on 27th May next year he is getting married.

Lordy, a bit emotional......

Changed

And on Saturday I got changed into sum old clothes (Well, as old as I have now) and got stuck into painting the back fence.

In the area where I had to lay some floor tiles as I used to have some trouble walking there.....

Off Out Now

And we are off to see this artist tonight

And we got here, walked in, someone said 'There are loadsa stairs, lift here' but I just went for it, walked up one floor realised we had to go up another and just did it

Gosh, well the support act were well impressive

And she was even more impressive

Samwards

And we headed into gym for Sam's class which was as hard as usual but I did it

SALT

So the speech and language therapist is coming in today to have a meeting with me and my staff (team handed, they are all coming in s'morning).

What we are talking about I have no idea.....

And yes, she came but just to see them, without me, talking about various kinds of Brain Injury.... 

Watering

So now I have a new chore. Every evening late on, near sunset, I go outside and water my trug and in the greenhouse.

And just how much more mobile am I these days?

Stickless

And tonight at bedtime I stood up and held my walking stick horizontally off the ground and walked out of the kitchen washed my teeth etc then walked to bed without using my walking stick.

And yes I was being careful to tread with both feet etc. I just walked like a proper grownup

Defrag

So I had to defrag the PC in my bedroom to make Google Chrome (the browser) work. It wouldn't work last night and as I have music url's etc it was a bit tricky

Timmy Dinner

And usually Timmy is working on a Thursday, but not this week. As he won't eat any of my cooking we were able to have the usual "Friday night dinner" of na'an bread pizza and chips tonight

Predictive

And I had to ask MM that on my old phone it was predictive txting, eg making "i" into "I" and correcting misspellings when I typed but my new phone isn't and I have no idea how to switch it back on. He looked for 5 mins then said "Do this..... and this..... then this" and I am a bit happier typing messages now

[sigh]

So MM said to me today "Right, gym" and we set off. He said "So mega cycle today", I said "No, surely....." and he replied "Ah, you were with Sara on Tuesday so it's a YES" so I got stuck in. I did the first 7km in about half an hour but was so rough then I had to stop for ages, so the last 3km took about 15 minutes. But I did it.

I was thinking "Right, I am so rough after that 7km that I will stop when it says 8" but I didn't ask (nor on 9km) I just struggled on and did it

First Things First

So first off we headed to King St, had to park in one of the further away spaces but that is no longer an issue for me so we walked along and down to Caffi Iechyd Da to fetch the organic delivery, loaded it into the boot and headed off to Morrison's for the rest of my shopping. We took it home and waited while I put it away and paid the organic order via my PC then we headed off to.......

First Things First

Then me and GGtGG headed into town and went to Cantre Mobility to check out 'sticks. They didn't have any suitable ones in stock but he did order a couple of probably suitable ones which I can look at on Friday week, when they arrive. BUT he wasn't going "Ordered for you" so if I do like them I will buy them, if I don't I won't

THEN we popped into the Lyric Theatre and bought 2 tickets for comedy this month and next month and a ticket for the entertainer who is playing in Ammanford this Friday

No.....

And trying to do some research then this page of results came up. BUT no, not paying any attention.....

Drowning

And after an early lunch we are off to the drowning pool for an Aqua Aerobics session.

It fills me with such joy.......

But possibly before that we are heading to Cantre Mobility in Carmarthen to see if they can sell me another walky stick device as mine is looking a bit tired now.......

Well I have dun it. It went well. And I did notice that all but one of the 'standing on your right foot' exercises I managed, stand on your right foot and move your left leg thus ...

Afterwards

And after my physio walking trip I feel exhausted/as rough as a....... Hopefully I will feel better after a nights sleep. goodnight

<waves>

Physio-ing

So s'afternoon we have to pop to Pil to see Sara the Physio.

And I do need to ask her where to buy more groovy coloured walking sticks as mine is starting to wear and the NHS grey ones look a bit too sad for someone in my position

Well knackered. She (as well as looking wonderful) got me on the treadmill thingy. I walked for .91 of a km in half an hour (which is still well slow but almost twice as quick as last time she measured me. Then I did some walking sideways and walking backwards, some directions were much harder but I managed all directions without holding on too. Then we did a walking uphill exercise where I was walking at 11% up and I managed 15 minutes of that. For some of it I was walking faster and more uphill. So I think next time I will practice walking downhill too, but that is harder

And she did say re walking stick that she can't get one for me and this buying online is a nightmare but check out the mobility shop in Carmarthen so I will

And my phone recognised where we were passing then where we were

More Noise

Lordy they were well noisy today

Drizzling

And we are supposed to head into Carmarthen to see a gig in the park s'afternoon but it is kind of drizzling on and off so far.....

Well we went there and it held off the rain for the 3 hours until we came home, by the time I had my bath and got into bed it was very noisily raining

No Pool

And we didn't go swimming today as it is school holiday/day off so they will mostly be in't pool
