After 6pm

And I am still on my own two feet
7.30 now
9.30 now, still walking
It's 10.30 now and I am just about to walk to bed

Carry

So I got up about 10 to 8 s'morning, got dressed etc, then walked around my bedroom, took the covers off my bed on foot, walked to the kitchen carrying that basket in my right hand, put it on to wash etc. I suspect that I will have to sit down in order to make my bed but we shall see
I carried the stuff into my bedroom on foot but had to sit down to do the quilt cover. Which I had to ask a MOS to help, as my 1½ hands weren't working properly

2nd New Book

And I have just finished The Mouse And The Motorcycle which, while a much less serious book (OK a kids book) still made my grin and smile on the last few pages, a happy ending
And I thought to myself "What next?" afterwards and found a copy of Douglas Adams - "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and I probably read it before but I have no memory, it seems like a good new book

Fixed It

And for the last 2 days I haven't been able to send txts, they haven't been going. So in desperation I asked a chap if he could take me to Tesco's(*) to ask them, he said "Why?" I told him and he said "Try this to fix it, it might fix it" and it flippin' did

(*) It is a Tesco's phone

Wheeling

Well I got up today but today I am resting, in my wheelchair. Tomorrow I will walk again

Shower

Right, it's about 10 to 9 and about 9.15 I am gonna sit in my wheelchair and take myself to the shower room
Phew did so, but I am remaining in my 'chair now because the last walk to it was far too much, I felt as rough as a..... So tomorrow I will rest in it then walk everywhere on Saturday again

Table

And I finally figured out how to write a separate thingy under each picture. OK, it's not perfect yet but I am beginning to get the hang of Tables

Cooking

And I have just walked into the kitchen and made tonight's dinner. OK, I will need to take it out of the fridge and cook it but I did all the preparing malarkey on my own two feet. OK, I need to wipe the shelves but I thought "No, sit down first"
I stood back up, wiped around while I was waiting for the oven to heat and it was delicious. But done standing up!!!

Walkies

So I got up s'morning, walked past my 'chair and I have been walking ever since
Well someone came and delivered a big box of muesli which I had ordered. He knocked the door, I walked to answer, asked him to set the box just inside, had to bring my wheelchair, pick up the box and take it to the kitchen. I opened it and put my cereal away. Then I took my wheelchair back and started walking again

Multi Talented (new pic)

Then today I had to use my new device, which had only opened big jars, to open a small bottle of wine

Dinner

Usually for lunch I have 1 or 2 pieces of bread made into a sandwich and don't eat loads until dinner time. As today I had loads of Lasagna etc for lunch tonight I won't have as much dinner as I usually do, no oven chips

Lunchtime

On the way back from Skanda Vale we stopped in Waverley Stores to have some lunch. I had to get up and walk through the doors to get in and then she went off to the back of the shop, where the restaurant is, with my wheelchair leaving my walking behind to catch up. There we had excellent food but I had to complain. Last night because Freya visited me I made some Lasagna for tea, then today I also had a Lasagna there, and theirs was nicer

Morning

Gosh that was hectic. After my early start today I went off in a taxi to meet up with Kelly. Who is the mother of one of Toby's friends which she said to me at the folk club t'other night when we arranged our day out. All together we went to a Multi Religious Centre at Skanda Vale, which I just enjoyed looking around while she felt the need to pray. It was a bit scary but I managed to walk up an enormous hill to the middle. From there it was more scary walking to see the Elephant etc so I didn't this time. If we had been on a different day they do talk wheelchair users all round on a "bus" but not today so I only saw about ⅛ of it but it was still worth a visit.

Alarm

So my alarm clock was set for 8.45 this morning. I got up at 8.00 (sigh)

Visitor

Then later this afternoon a really charming and beautiful visitor came to see me. We had Lasagna and Oven Chips that I had made for tea and it was delicious. Lasagna still needs some work but hopefully next weeks will be even better.
After about 4.00 I sat in my wheelchair because I had loadsa cooking etc to do, but until then I had been on my own two feet

On my own two feet

But s'morning when I did get up I walked into the kitchen on my own two feet with no walking stick and ever since I have been standing. I also went outside and walked about 10 yards down the path to say summat to someone who was smoking in her car

Up

Well I went to bed last night at about 12.05, woke up s'morning at about 7.35, lay there trying (and failing) to go back to sleep and got up in the end at 8.00AM

Headway

And I went to Headway tonight, it was one of the Drs. that I have seen (and will see again in a couple of weeks) but I found it a bit upsetting listening to him talk about Brain Injury but....

Morning

Well I got up this morning and was half way through eating my breakfast when my alarm clock went off. Yes I was up in plenty of time, went to Morrisons, did my shopping, including a new fangled 2 litre bottle of milk.

Then tonight after I eat and do my washing up etc we are going to Headway and give them my raffle tickets that I have sold. (OK, I bought some and sold the rest)

Borders

And at last I figured out how to put a red border on pics instead of the black one that was standard.
And I found a Webpage that tells me about more
And I did some more fiddling about
