S'evening

Gosh, I feel a bit..... summat after my DVLA interview today. I was really nervous about going at all, esp taking a taxi so far, but Denyse actually made that bit of the nervousness go away. I was just.... dunno, excited but in a bad way about it. After it is done I feel relieved. A lot pissed off that he couldn't answer me today but I kind of understand that too.

It's all done and dusted. Just waiting for an answer now

A Ride

Dial-a-Ride phoned me today and said "No can do on Monday" but there is a bus (running past the bus stop across the road) that can take wheelchairs and it is going to Morrisons supermarket on it's route to Carmarthen. So instead of Dial-a-Ride I will hopefully be getting a bus from over the road at 10.30 on Monday

S'morning

So s'morning I was taken, by Denyse (my case worker) over to see the DVLA doctor. He tested loads of movement and sight issues, I was actually surprised at how well I did moving, loads. My left eye can see straight well well enough but there is a bit of an issue with peripheral vision. When we were finished he said "DVLA will get my report, and from other folk they have asked about you, you should here from them in a few weeks". Apparently they can say "Yes", or "No" or "Go to Rochwood(?)" and be tested, they can fit various devices"

And he said "No, I can't tell u wether I think you have passed/failed, I am only a small section of their reading"

So ho-flipping-hum

Visitor

Then I had a few hours looking at Freya playing on my PC, but it was good to see her anyway

Tub

And after today I now have a rain water collection tub in my back garden. So if I grow some...... roses I will be able to water them from there

Gruntled

Strangely enough I don't feel disgruntled as much s'morning, so maybe they were talking sense

Disgruntled

And I feel just pissed off with it all. How long ago was the accident and I am still getting better. So I am still a bit poorly. Shit shit shit

Hah, it's not my fault, apparently

Shopping

Well I went shopping to Morrison's s'morning. I got everything on my list (and some more too) except a washing up bowl (to wash my feet in salted water) Luckily someone had already gone to Tesco's so I was able to phone them there and they brought me one back, which I paid for then

Bus

So today someone made a phonecall to Dial A Ride so from next week they have booked a trip from here to Morrison's supermarket at about 10AM on a Monday. Coming back I will get a Taxi for now as I have got so much to carry

Hopefully they will be able to get my 'chair on board.

OTB

0.42AM. Off to bed now, dunno where the last hour has gone, but goodnight

Dinner

And for dinner I had 1/2 of Jackie's lasagne and salad and half of my own oven chips that I had made

Reading

And I have just finished reading Charlie And The Chocolate Factory which I nearly cried at, loads. But I finished it, this reading is good

Installation

And I have just installed a new version of Firefox.exe, a 4 beta

Up

Still reading Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and was nearly crying at it s'morning

Whoops

Then David and I have fallen out big style. He has dropped me off here, without coming in, and gone home, back to Belfast in't morning

I felt the need to say "Stop telling me what to do" and he flew off the handle

And

I have just exchanged some txts with David and he is busy in town, he will see me about 2.30(1) and we will piss about etc. I need a lift to the barbers, he agreed.

(1) About the same time a Chinese person goes to the dentist.
Tooth hurty..... (C) David

Up

So I woke up at about 7 s'morning, lay in bed being bored, then got up about a quarter too so that by 8 o'clock I had finished pitting on my boots and splint etc and could go about my business
