Working So Far

And I have been about wearing my proper shoes again today and they seem to work, no blisters etc, so I just needed to take the insole out of one shoe

And I was wearing them today at Headway Swansea because I didn't fit my FES as there seems no point to go to an indoors function like this

More Reasons......

Then we popped to Morrisons and I picked up the items off my organic order which I won't be able to pick up in the market when we go in and buy my veg on Thursday

We are gonna try that instead of having a delivery, we called in and had a look, they grow most of the veg on a not organic but not full of chemicals farm apparently

No Swimming

And this week there is no swimming class as we are off to Headway Swansea for the usual "What's the point being here" meeting

Actually there was more of a point today, we didn't play a distracting game, we just sat around the table and bonded with one another

Then when we were on the way home someone about 3 cars in front of us crashed. A van hit the back of a small car which then left the motorway and came up resting across the fence to the left

Didn't Know HOW

So I was trying to change summat with regards the background and colour of txt on one of my webpages. In the end I figured out how to do it, then realised that I needed a different colour. How did I do it last time? So look again, did it again and put the page together.

And afterwards I thought "So how did I do that?" I have no idea, so I need to learn how to learn from my actions, there is no point "just doing it"

Nearly Dry

And I did a load of washing s'afternoon and hung it out. Less than an hour later I was passing and reached out to touch it. Most of it was nearly dry. Just lordy, most of my washing line isn't even in the sun in the afternoon

Fark

So I have just exchanged txt's with Julia about what I was doing for a living when I had my accident and just FARK, it's a bit emotional hearing about what I was teaching and studying at the same time

Out For The Night

And we popped out last night, got into car and said "Where shall we go?", hummed and hawed then went to The Friends Arms which was the pub I used to electric wheelchair to from the Leonard Cheshire care place. But I have never seen it as busy as it was last night. But by the time I had finished my last pint most of the folks had left, the footy was finished.

Most of the other folk in there were well pissed by the time we got there, they had been watching sport all day, but friendly. One or two folk made some "pirate" comment about my eyepatch

Mending Footwear

As well as buying some new footwear I got stuck into the relatively new (a couple of months) ones that had caused my blister and removed the extra thickening extra insoles and just left the original insoles in. I then put them away but when it is colder I will try wearing them again

Get Rid

Then Timmy and I went into the garage s'morning and sorted out the rubbish before Timmy left. Most of it he said "Yeah, ditch it" but there were a few pieces of txt that he brought indoors to shred as it had important info on it and there were 2 files that he said "Legally you are supposed to keep there for 10 years. The date on them is 8 years ago so I will take them and put them in the office"

Then me and GGtGG came outdoors later and put all the "Throw it away" stuff into the boot of the car having sorted it into "metal" and "rubbish" etc then took it to the tip and ditched a whole boot load of stuff. What's left seems to be mainly various floor tiles and loads and loads of tools. Hammer, screwdriver, spanner, more spanners etc etc. I didn't think I did so much mending but they were all mine

Drying

And I washed my bed sheets after I got up s'morning at about 8AM. Washed then for about an hour and a half then hung them out on the line. By 12AM they were dry and I brought them in

Multi Cooking

As we were out so late for our walk around town there wasn't time to cook veg casserole, so I cooked baked spuds and cheese bites for tea. But I also cooked the casserole and it is cooling and all cooked now. In a bit I will divide it up into a few days worth in the small saucepan and the rest divided up into the freezer

No Gym

Then today we looked at one another and said "No gym" so we decided to head into town for a long walk. We parked on Lammas St as usual and headed up the hill until we reached the posh coffee shop, The Old Market Sq Deli, at top. We stopped there for a hot chocolate and I was very upset as Timmy said the smell of freshly baked bread was overwhelming and I couldn't smell owt. But they are baking loads of small loaves and they had a veggie/vegan "we support" even tho they sell meat too.

We finished the chocolate and headed along to Iechyd Da street, headed down then went into Market and had a look at the veg stall. While they are not labeled organic the woman I spoke to seemed anti chemical and they grow most of the goods on her farm.

Well More Comfortable

So as my feet are so much better today I think that yesterdays buying might have been the right thing to do. Obviously the shoes, which are a couple of months old, don't quite fit me properly. Dunno if they will be more comfortable after the wounds has gone away, dunno, wait and see

Feed Him

And because he is here today and tomorrow I kind of thought that it will start to have gone off if I don't use it 'til Saturday so I said "Want it?" to Timmy and then fed him Na'an Bread Pizza and chips for tea. And it was fecking lovely again

Let Off

And Samantha (my gym teacher) txted me today and said "No gym class tomorrow, sorry" so dunno what we should do instead

Tension In My Arm

So yesterday while doing the scary climb up the hill my right arm was as tight as a very tight thing

Thursday Morning

(Sigh....)

Well that's the first load done. Picked up veg, shopped at Morrisons came home, put it away, paid my bill, now waiting for Timmy to take me to gym. Then I can get on......

Where?

Then tonight GGtGG said "Lets go out. Where shall we go?" so I said "Paxton's Tower". So we set off and I had to say "No, it's this way" and when we got there it turns out that I was heading for Dryslwyn Castle instead, just to see how far up it was etc. So we looked then said "Try it?" and headed off uphill along the path. I switched the FES off as it was all uneven and just carried on. We got almost all the way to the top then GGtGG was starting to panic about it getting too dark to see on the way back down so we turned back when almost at the top.

I just can't believe how my much fitness is changing, just getting better and better week after week

Frozen Food and Oven Chips

Well I put slightly more into each days food to freeze and we finished it all this week and had to eat some frozen from the shop food. In the past it was lasting about 9 days but it just lasted 6 this week

Further Right-handedness

And I took a bit longer lifting the dinner tonight as I lifted all the chips with my right hand. From the oven tray to our plates, the sweet potato oven chips were lifted properly. It is the first time I have eaten them this week, and the first time for some years that I lifted them with my right hand
