First Of All

So then we popped to gym to one of Sam's classes. Except it wasn't taken by her. It was strange, still struggling with some stuff but better than I have ever been at some other stuff.
Afterwards I spoke to the instructor, told him to pass it onto Sam, I was well happy with the quality of his teaching but he wasn't even a tenth as beautiful as she is

Uber Dubious

So feeling more dubious s'morning GGtGG said "You can go to Sam's class today, as you are gonna miss her on Friday" so while we were heading into town we called in gym and checked time.
Then we popped to the Drs to get my 'script.
THEN GGtGG needed to do some "Buying cleaning products for the house" so we went to about 3 places to do that.
THEN we came home for an early lunch as I am going to Sam's class at 2
And while we were at home I got GGtGG to re-position the FES pads and suddenly I can stop my right knee from beating back into hyper-extended position

Dubious

So after getting out swimming trunks etc for tomorrow, piling them up in the hall along with towels etc I feel a nit snotty to actually go to the pool. I will see how I feel tomorrow, if my nose has stopped running etc etc

Busy Today

Gosh, today is full. Of....? OK, sarcasm

Scared Of Cycling

Off Out

And we are popping out s'evening to Pontardawe Arts Centre to see the "Adult Panto 2017 - Aladdin" (new correct link) so gord nose what to expect
And oh what fun we had (Midpage link)

Chop, Chop, Chop, Chop, Chopping

So doing the veg for my food today. A) I have bought some sharper knifes, and B) My right hand is just getting better at "moving in the way I want it to" and I am pleased about how I can chop

QOTD

"Is Paraffin Wax As Non-Toxic As It Was Declared To Be In 1850?


In a word: No. In two words: Hell no"


From GeekyGirl

Chopping

But first we have to go to the toenail chopper to have my toenails done. And paid for.
Well.... didn't she do well. Again watching her made my brain hurt but she did it

Missing Her Already

And IIRC Sam is not gonna be about to take the gym class today. The phrase glamorous assistant springs to mind....
Well it went OK. For most of the class I am thinking "I am still getting better" except on the bike device I had a problem bending my right knee enough to do it. Yesterday and today I had some cream rubbed on the back of my knee which is improving it some but not enough for the class today

Pressies

And first thing I got out the sellotape and wrapping paper etc and wrapped last pressies. Again I am just getting so much better at stuff involving my right hand. Today I did the cutting of paper with my right hand and writing cards also with my right hand

Cream

Then last thing Timmy put some Ibuprofen Gel on my right knee as it was hurting oodles
And it does seem a bit better s'morning, still hurting but not as much

Beer

So we popped out to the pub and was actually surprised how many folk were drinking and not eating!!!

Loadsa

Then when I was half way thru lunch the postman came knocking on the door. He had 2 xtra pressies I have bought for someone, my piece of perspex for the table top, a Xmas card from Sturit and a book from the Guardian, a years worth.!!! I carried them thru, dropped half, picked them up and was able to resume eating and opening them at the same time

Marginally Hectic

Then we have to do the collecting organic veg, then the "normal" shopping in More Reasons To Shop At... (noisy link) then gymwards before lunch
Well I did the rowing exercise at gym, my breath was breathy and I was sweaty so it must be doing summat.

Hectic

So we have already been to the PO delivery section to fetch my parcel that the postman left a card for yesterday, came back, opened that, then Denyse arrived, to do GGtGG's appraisal, Timmy is here to discuss that with them, then Denyse is gonna come and talk to me, then I am gonna have an early lunch then go to an AquaAerobics session in the pool.
Then I am gonna pant for a bit.....
Well the pressie turned out to be from my Dad, a Xmas card for me c/w 3 minor cards/gifts for each of my 3 kids
And AquaAerobics was as much fun as it is usually but I did it
Oh, and Denyse was....... Denyse-like

Men's Shedwards

So tonight I am taking my new project to and starting, sanding etc. Next week I will take the sheet of perspex and try to cut it to size. At some point I will make loadsa photos to patch together on the top.
But first I have to sand it well and oil it etc
Well we did loadsa sanding. It looks well different but the photos had a crisis so you won't see more progress until next week. Someone was saying that Perspex is too mark-able but told me where to pop in Johnstown to get glass cut to size not too dear. But I will try my perspex first, see if I can cut it etc. The powered sander there seemed really wonky but we did loads by hand. Gareth said he has got a sander which we can borrow for a few weeks so he will drop that off next Monday and me and RoyGBiv can take it there next week
It does look well better already, but there is loads more to do, with the powered sander and some new sandpaper

Cycling

Then GGtGG said "Wanna go for a speed cycle or shall we head west to that place you went last week?" so actually we headed over to BikeAbility and had a good fun, if a bit chilly, hour going round and about

Warmness

So compared with the rest of the country, according to the weather forecaster last night, we were in a relatively tropical heatwave, a mere minus a few degrees
But by tonight it is running at 8 or 9 degrees, what a difference a day makes!!

Didn't Get Wupped

So at a game of snooker last night I still lost but not as badly as I used to do
