Short Cut

I have just been out to the greenhouse to water it and it still seems odd, wrong in some way, being able to go out the back door after for so long I needed to go the long way round

Changing Colour

And one of the green peppers in the greenhouse has decided that is is actually a red pepper after all

Out The Back

I was just in the kitchen waiting for food to cook and I just went out the backdoor walked round for a bit then came back in through the backdoor
Because I can

Lifty Exercises

So we popped to gym and got stuck into "lifting and pulling things" exercises. On the lifting above your head that I do without any weight 1) I was able to lift both arms equally for the first time ever and 2) I was trying it with some weight, I managed to do 6 of the 20 scheduled lifts with 2.5kg. It's not very heavy but I didn't used to be even able to lift my arm up fully etc

Docs

Then we need to go back to the chemist next door to the Drs to fetch my script for sockings, the one that they gave me he note saying "Have none, come back" for on Friday
[Sigh] And they still didn't have any, she said "Come back later" but I thought "Nah, tomorrow" but there is a Team Meeting happening here tomorrow so hopefully they will have it by Wednesday

Crisis

And I was on my way to bed tonight, took my phone, tried to plug it in, tried again, called MM and sed "Help", took his advice to plug it in and bought a new cable.
Ho hum 
So we ordered a new cable then later ordered a plug to plug it in with

Clean

So a couple of days since my jab off the Dr and my chest and back seem remarkably free of spots/irritation. Lets hope it continues like this

Yum yum

And at lunchtime I cut up the first of the new tommy-toes. Apprehensively I bit into it. Fark, it was lovely, kind of sweet, just well nice

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Then s'afternoon I tried making coffee in the last cafetiere as the old one isn't broken but the coffee is full of bits. It wasn't in the new pot so I transferred to it instead and popped out to the obscure cheap cafetiere shop and fetched a couple of spares. Afterwards MM said "You can take it apart and clean it like this" which I did try. I couldn't undo it or do it up afterwards but it is done now, so I will try it instead of the new one later.
(Confuser=me)
No, s'evening the newly cleaned pot put together (OK done) by MM was still a bit full of bits. Loads less than yesterday but still some

Oops

I forgot to close my curtains when I went to bed (in the dark) last night.
The light woke me up about 6 o'fricking'clock s'morning

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 ๐Ÿ˜…

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 30-40ยบ 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
