Out

So last night I was thinking repeatedly "Lets go to the pub" but I managed to resist. Today MM said "Shall we go out...."

We popped to the pub in Carmarthen and it was actually rather busy. Like a pub used to be on a Wednesday at dinner time 20 years ago, the busiest I have seen a pub in ages 

Sore Ass

And every now and again, when I roll over in bed or change my position in my chair my arse hurts loads where it was injected yesterday. Most of the time I can forget about it then every now and again I wanna shout

Standing Up

And I have just recalled to stand up properly from the bench outside or my chair. Get my feet in the right position and stand up without using my hands to push, just standing up with my legs, like a proper person

Cooked My Veg

And I cooked the weekly "loadsa casserole" today and in it there was carrots, courgette and green pepper from my garden, that I had grown myself 😅

FESless

And I don't have my FES on today but it seems to have worked getting the muscle memory into my right foot, it keeps itself level most of the time whereas it used to be about 30-40º to one side every step

Improvement

And walking into the swimming pool today without my FES on, my right foot stayed properly flat nearly all of the time. I suspect that the FES is supposed to be teaching me muscle memory, so lordy it works!!!!

Ripening

So next to my reddening tomato is one that yesterday looked much yellower but today it looks twice as red, ripe

Forgetful

And I was having so much fun in the pool s'afternoon that I had forgotten all about having a jab s'morning but sitting in the car on the way home it suddenly hurt loads briefly. Oh yes, I recalled, there doesn't seem to be owt I can do about the pain, it just hits me briefly every now and again

Drowning

And I went for a rescheduled swimming session today and it was as much fun as ever. BUT I am still getting better at it, I was able to do more of the exercises, better, than last week

Jabbed

So I went to the Drs and had my jab s'morning. She was very good, it didn't hurt at all to start. But she had to keep squeezing to get the enormous quantity of enormously thick gloop into my arse and it did hurt a bit in the end

So afterwards we took the scripts we had just got into the chemist next door and they gave me one and said "Come back on Monday for the other"

And I am well enuf that I can't make any excuses for swimming, I will have to go later

Fun In't Morning

And tomorrow we are going to the Dr's early so I can pick up 2 'scripts and then see a Dr about the injection in my arse, testosterone.

Hoo-flippin'-ray

Thursday Dinner

Usually Timmy is working on Thursday so I have to cook for myself but it was MM today so we could have na'an bread pizza and chips for tea. Mmmmmm

Pant, pant, pant

So first thing s'morning me and MM headed off to the food market, where he has never been before. First of all we headed up the wrong street but I said "No, around the block" so then we came back to the place where us blue badge holders can park. It was full, so we drove past and turned around. As we came back one car had switched his headlights on so we waited for about 45 seconds and he emptied up the space. From there we walked in and got the veg. We are starting to form a relationship, it was the woman of the team working today and I said to her "When you said 'Lovely!' I thought you were talking about yourself" and as we were leaving she said "£14.06" and just charged me £14.00 on the machine

From there to MoreReasonToShopAt.... where I got owt on my list, including fly killer strips which we haven't needed to buy for a year or two

Then we went home and put the shopping away then headed for gym. As usual I have to do about half an hour cycling and it was pissing me off how my two arms react differently but half way thru the cycle (That Beautiful) Sam came past and stopped to react to my complaint. She said "When you started here that arm was as broken as a broken thing, you couldn't even put it on the bike to start with. It is getting better and better, it's just a matter of patience and keep up the good work you are doing and it will get better eventually". Which is really good to hear on one level but on another level it means "Keep working hard"

Stress Buying Online

Then me and GGtGG tried to buy some tickets to The Big Cwtch which is a festival type thing locally but you can buy "Disabled persons" tickets for less and you get an accompanier to come in for free but you have to prove you are disabled. We tried many times to but them with The Staff Card but it just wouldn't. No visible reason, just kept bouncing. So then we tried it with my card, no problem, and we have booked a disabled parking slot etc. And if it is raining we paid so little we can just not go

Shopping

Then after dinner we popped to town to buy a new clothes peg holder and some more anti fly strips. The clothes peg holder was easy but we went to 4 different shops looking for the fly killers. Most of them said "We usually do but there has been a run on them this week". So I have 1 more shop to try tomorrow then it is onto Amazon who are putting all these businesses out of business

Oh and we got more mixed seeds and nuts for the birds on the bird table, it seems quite popular these days

Different Plan

So as it is the summer holidays now today I am going to Gaynor's gym class instead of swimming and on Friday instead of gymming I am heading to the 2.30 swimming session which apparently they don't let kids in the pool then or summat

Refunded

Then we popped early to The Lyric Theatre as it closes early and my nap would get in the way. She said "Want a refund or new tickets for when they come back?". "Pardon, I thought they hadn't sold many tickets?". "No, it had nearly sold out, they were here setting up when the roof let in some rain and the drain flooded us with sewage, making the electrical equipment a bit scary"

"Lordy, yes, just give us 2 new tickets for that then"

So that will be why they didn't phone us to say "Cancelled" until a couple of hours beforehand

Then

Then after lunch we popped into town, drove along King St, no parking spaces, went around the block and second time passing there was a space outside the theatre where we were gonna go. We had to say "You said you would contact us on Monday about the refund from the gig last week?" but according to the notice on the door it will be closed 'til Wednesday. So either they phone me early or I pop in later in the day tomorrow.

So we walked around the corner and bought 2 jars of coffee for the staff off RoyGBiv's Staff Cash Card

Which did my head in slightly carrying it back to the car. As I was concentrating on walking my right hand, carrying the bag, rose into the air, strangely

Back To Normal

So 2 days worth of Freya visiting so I had no gym yesterday and so on. But she has gone now, it is all back to normal etc so I'd better get my head round a really long cycling exercise today

Hooray, I only have 9.1km left to cycle....

Just another 4.5 to go

Seconds

And I was lying in bed for my nap 2day and thought "I wonder how long it has been so far?" and glanced at my timer. It said 23 minutes and 23 seconds, 23:23 left to go
