Off Out For Dinner

And we did the washing up early today because me and GGtGG are going out for dinner with the Carmarthen Making Friends group

And wasn't that fun, a good time was had

Denyse

Then Denyse came over "because she's supposed to" to just check up on me and how I am coping with my splint etc. It all went well until she said "Is there anything you want to ask me?" and even tho I didn't ask her this time she could tell that I was frantically trying to think of something other than "Marry me"

Shopping

So we headed into town first thing and went round and round until we found a free parking space. From there it was miles to Savers where we had to go, but it just isn't an issue, any more. Distance to walk is not as much of an issue as it was a few months ago

Randomly Better

Today, for the first time since last week I was able to hold my toothbrush in my right hand and squirt 'paste with my left hand. I haven't been able to use both hands for a week, I had to lie my toothbrush down in the sink and use one hand to squirt

Hectic Day

So first thing today that Denyse is coming to see me, then I have gotta head to a gym class then we are popping out to a restaurant near where we first lived in Wales for a 'making friends' group dinner

Tomorrow

And we are going out for dinner tomorrow night with the Carmarthen Meet Folk Society or somesuch

Theraputic

And as it hurts to lean on anything with my right hand it means that when I go to stand up I am holding my walky stick in my left hand and I have got to just stand up using my legs alone. So even this is thera-fsckin'-putic

Bicycling

So s'morning we headed to gym and I got on the bike. I had said "No" to that loads of times as it feels really strange a)if I don't lean my right hand on the handlebars I feel really unbalanced/unstraight, and b)if I do lean my right hand on it makes the wrist feel all unstraight etc, but I got stuck in and tried it.

I was due to do 10km but I finished after half an hour cycling, about 6 and a bit km as my right foot was feeling a bit odd

Sleeping

And I find that I am sleeping less than normal ATM because my right hand is irritated by being in a plaster. It doesn't hurt loads but I am aware of it....

Half Way Through

And I have reached half way thru the keeping my arm in a plaster period, I am due back at t'hospital in a week

Memory

So I went to gym today with a pair of trousers on which didn't need a belt. But as I was leaving I headed into my bedroom and put my belt in my pocket. When I got to gym I put tgeelt on and clipped the FeS device on it and took off the bumbag it had been attached to.

Just the fact that I remembered to take it with me.....

Class

So as I can't swim ATM and if I am doing exercises I will say "Can't do that" loads we have decided to head back to Sam's class at 2pm so I will need to have an early lunch in a minute......

Aargh, it wasn't Sam, it was some chappy and it was strange only being able to use 1 arm but I did what I could

Warmer, Later

And a few days ago it would have been -3 by this time

Out

And as Timmy was very pleased that we would actually be able to leave the house now he said "Shall we eat at Wetherspoons tonight?" which didn't take much persuasion

And the veggie burger and chips was a bit delicious. And the pudding too, which meant I got a bit drunk but......

Changeable

So the weather has changed a bit. So now the sun is shining from a 75% cloudless sky. And I need to have a bath&nap. Bet the weather will have changed again by the time I get up

And in the bath today I was able to open the window instead of switching on the noisy extractor fan for the first time in 3 days. The scary eastern weather has been replaced with wind from the south 

Ice Going

There are just a few bits on the roof and at the side of the path, most ice has gone away s'morning, it's raining now

Not Freezing

And my watch says it is 2°C outside now at 11 o'clock at night which is about 5° warmer than it has been at night for a number of night's now

Trapped In

And I am well grumpy about being "trapped" indoors here tonight, not being able to go to the pub which I only do every couple of weeks. As I couldn't go there, or anywhere else, last night or tonight g*d help anyone that makes me shout.....

Watching

And I sat down in the kitchen today & turned on the iPad and looked what was on. So I found myself watching an episode of Wallace & Gromit which was rather entertaining

Duh

And the interweb wasn't working, I switched off my PC and went back to it half an hour later, still wasn't working, so a shout of "Timmy" came out, he said "Ah, reset the router" (which hadn't occured to me) and 5 minutes later all is working again
