Aargh

And with these Brain Injuries you forget important stuff, occasionally. For me it's lucky that I am as obsessed with the Interweb as I am, given the slightest hint I can look stuff up.

Today someone, in an email about summat else(1) said Chernobyl. I had forgotten, thought "What's that?", looked online and found out. All I can say is........ SH*T.

(1) Cheers Hoddy for mentioning it

Shopping

Well today I went out shopping with Jackie. We went to Aardvark got organic veg and some organic chocolate etc first. Then we went around town (the rain had stopped by now, luckily) and eventually found in the market a new (enormous) bum-bag. Then, lastly we went into Tesco's and bought the ingredients for a Whiskey Mac which are now sitting, unopened, in my kitchen. This self cointrol thingy makes it seem really strange etc

Pooh

So I woke up this morning needing a pooh, as I did yesterday. But yesterday I felt the need to go to the loo before I had my brekky and coffee whereas today I had my brekky and a cuppa and I still haven't gone. I will go before I go to the shops.......

Visitor

Then today after I was nearly crying with boredom my visitor for this afternoon arrived. I felt a bit less odd than the last time she visited but still a bit odd. It felt as if she had just come here today to see her Dad and to begin to catch up with him again

Busy

So I found out that Aardvark have the organic veg delivered on a Tuesday afternoon, but as I need to be here to see this beautiful Freya when she visits me I guess I will have to go tomorrow

Lily The Pink

I was in Tesco's s'morning and I bought 2 Whiskey and Coke mixers. I haven't opened them yet but I bought 'em s'morning

Now it's later I have opened just 1 so far....

AND now I have had the second, the first booze I legally bought into my flat in 7 years

Early to.....

So on Friday I am going to see my Eye Doctor again. The ambulance that's picking me up may be here by 8.30 AM, so I have to get up, dressed, breakfasted by then, so my alarm clock is set for much earlier

More RHS

So as I wrote today's(/yesterdays now....) shopping list with my right hand I will have to do the same for Wednesdays

RHS

And I was sitting today looking at my shopping list on the PC. Half was for Tesco's tomorrow, half was for Aardvark on Wednesday. I thought "Shall I print it out together and keep it for a couple of days or shall I print out a copy of Mondays a copy of Wednesdays?" Then I thought "Nah, just write it out" and I tried writing with my right hand, for the first succeeding time in 7 years

It was slower than with my left hand, still a bit untidy but it is well neater than I imagined

Changed the bed

So I thought "OK Neil, time to change the bed". I haven't had a double bed to change in over 7 years. I managed just about it all, in the end I had to call a MOS to shake the quilt, it was in the cover but a bit wonky. All he had to do was shake it with both hands, from both sides

Sleeper in

So this morning I didn't feel like getting up until it was 9.15. A lie in!!!!

Old Hippies

I am just still gobsmacked..... still........ just WOW, many of them said "Hello Neil" straight away

I am still having excited memories......

The Abbey

And wow today. This afternoon I was taken to Glynabbey to meet some folks. Many of whom remembered me from many years ago and said "Wow, welcome back" etc

Just WOW!!!

On the way....

And on the way today we diverted a bit to see if I could still find places.

And I did

Playing out

So this afternoon someone is giving me a lift to the Mayday celebrations at the well established hippy colony at the "Abbey" which I haven't been to for 7 years but I did know them before and some of them may remember me etc

Yesterday

While I was unBLOGing my daughter and separately my son came to visit me, it felt a bit odd still but we are beginning to make a relationship again

Good lord

So I deleted some stuff and it suddenly said "No Blog" so I tried to write another and it said "Create an account" and I thought "Nah" but in the end I gave in and created a new account but I will keep it secret
