Trip Out 3

Then later we tripped out again to B&Q to get a new toilet flusher for the staff loo which Timmy fixed. Well apparently

No, he has demonstrated it to me, ooooh

Trip Out 2

And when we were in Iechyd Da s'morning she said "You coming here tonight for the gig?". The answer was a big "YES"

Gymwards

After we had brought the shopping home we headed out to gym where I did about 80% of my 10km cycle ride as it was switched up even higher than before

Trip Out

So first thing s'morning we headed into town and first of all we popped to Caffi Iechyd Da to fetch my weekly delivery of Organic Veg which is delivered to them with their delivery. And I did say "See you later" to them, too

Then, same trip out we went to Morrison's and got the rest of my shopping

My Vision

And yesterday from the car I was just glancing at two women as we passed them. I looked, kind of up and down, just being nosey. As we passed further suddenly I could see, like surprise surprise, another woman walking with them who was about one pace to the right. I hadn't seen her during my concentrating look at the 2 women to the left.

Sheet, that's why I can't drive if my vision is that fscked, there's bits missing

Sh*t

So I took my FES box and was trying to make the battery fit more securely, I pulled, trying to bend, the bit that connects with the battery and it came off in my hand. The thing is fscked. I am gonna have to try getting new one tomorrow

I Thought Of It By Myself....

Not doing summat from a website

"Whose Hand Is On Top in a dominator style" I asked?

Aerobicising

So today an early lunch then a session in Aqua Aerobics. I think this will be finishing for a couple of months for the school holidays, today is the last session. Apparently, anyway.......

Well we did it. Doing "stand on your right foot and moving the left" was just mind blowing as  I simply can these days

Hot Chocolate

So for a bedtime drink I have just had one of the sachets of hot chocolate which have been in the drawer for ages. Just that powder and some warm (but not boiling) water. Cor Blimey it was nice, and drunk a bit quickly

Weirdnosity

Then s'evening when me and Roy were out shopping I found my FES control box in the shopping basket. I had obviously knocked it off. I put it back together but it stayed black, not working. I limped around the shop and had a proper look on the way home. Nothing. A couple of beeps when you pressed one button but no other signs of life. Roy said "Battery dead?" but I said "No" as I had changed the battery only last week, but still no life, no combination or order of button pressing brought it back to life.

So in desperation I took the battery out and replaced it in the same position. Lights and display were on again. It works again

Hybrid

But by feck but it's odd looking at Hybrid cars. Sometimes it made engine noises, other times we were silent as we headed along. Just by feck, posh or what

Everyone Meeting

So I am waiting here for a "team meeting" s'morning where everyone is coming here to get together and slag me off to Denyse etc

Right. So first of all I had to sit around while they did this "meeting" mularkey. Then when I expected Denyse to say "Garage" she had to go and do a "bosses" type of meeting with Timmy while I had my lunch

Then we popped off down to the Toyota garage, me, Roy my driver and Denyse and Timmy. We had a look at the cars then Timmy went home and me and Denyse and Roy said "Test drive" to one of the workers and we took out both kinds of car and went uphill and around town with Roy driving

It was a bit odd but after that I think I prefer the cheaper car, although if we do chose that we will have to see how it's fitted out, CD player/Radio etc. I think me and Timmy are gonna head down on Sat and order the car when Denyse has got some bits of paper etc

BUT she did say that perhaps we will be able to "just having cream on my washed legs" once a day, in the afternoon which I am very pleased about. Still "needs" the afternoon which I am not to happy about but it is better

What A Swim

So me and MM the ex swimming teacher have just been to the pool for a swim. I managed 8 lengths today with both my legs kicking and both hands moving properly about.
I still wouldn't saw it was fun but a good swim was had

And I was practising making my right arm move properly, and keeping it up at the same level as the left, at the surface of the water. It might sound straightforward to you but it is much harder for me. But I just about managed while kicking properly with both feet.....

The Doctor

Aargh. I have just watched the last episode of this series of Dr Who, where he dies and is rejuvenated into female form.

Just good lord, I thought the previous Dr was the best for a long time, hopefully this new character can be as good

Not When I Was At School

And they hadn't invented it when I had my first computer classes at school, just how old does this make me feel

Out And About

Then s'morning me and GGtGG headed into Wilko's to pick up some more stuff for the staff. As usual we parked on Lammas St and headed up Merlins Walk. That used to be an issue for me, I would park on Lammas St if we were going to a shop halfway along Merlins Walk but I used to find it hard to get all the way to Wilko's and back. Used to. So we bought another mop, some loo roll and some other stuff. GGtGG was able to pay for it on the other staff card

Although on the way there we passed some unusual activity in town....

Boogie

Then later we headed over to Pembroke Castle for an evening of 60's bootleg entertainment, the headline of which was the Bootleg Beatles who actually were rather good and entertaining. When we got there with out "standing space only" tickets one chap looked at me and immediately, without having to be asked, walked over with us and got us let into the seats. The Pembroke support band werent too bad, the Bootleg Beachboys should have stayed at home looking for another job but the Bootleg Beatles were rather entertaining. I did stand up through that to have a boogle with a rather beautiful partner of some "bigger than me" chap

It was a good evening and night out, there was a selection of food made there, I had pizza, which wasn't too dear, and a bar.

 The underfoot wasn't too bad, mostly grass but reasonably well cared for. And as I can walk on stuff like that now.......

And I used the big pockets on the leg of my cream coloured trousers for the first time, the tickets were too big to fit in my bumbag but fitted perfectly in a newbie place

Dennis is a menace....

So today I looked at "What's on telly", and because of that I am now watching the men's wheelchair doubles. What can I say, just incredible

Bootlegging

So we are going to some castle tonight to watch The Bootleg Beatles. Dunno....

Right. So we had a marginal panic. GGtGG phoned them up to ask various things but he said "We couldn't get seated area tickets, is there anywhere for a cripple to sit?" as I don't think I could stand up in a crowd for that long, she said "Yes, disabled area, bring your blue badge and you will be allowed in"

Minor crisis averted

The Class

And I am going to the only class I goto every week at the gym today. It is called a "Stroke" class but it is for folk with similar ailments

Lordy. Well I have done it. It makes my brain hurt how much better I am week after week. Today I noticed, doing the step up and back down exercise I walked the long way round to be on the other side of the exercise machine so I could reach the handle with my left hand. The handle that I did not grip at all today, but I could if I needed to
