And this evening I had a shower, got clean, put my sandals (1) on instead of my boots as I thought "No socks for an hour" and tried and tried, in the end I had to give up and call a MOS and ask him "Can you do up my right sandal, please"
(1) Which are a lot harder to stand up/walk in, those 2/3cm that the right heel of my boots is lifted up makes such a big difference

Better To Ixies
And I am really trying now to make my posts to Ixion less, and the few that there are will be a bit more interesting to read etc. Time will tell but hopefully my new effort will pay off
Gardening
And I got to sit and watch a chap cut my grass today, he couldn't quite finish, the strimmer ran out of charged battery but that will be recharged by tomorrow when he is gonna finish

Showered
So I had a shower tonight, when I got out I thought "No point putting socks on for an hour" so I went and got my sandals out of the corner. And good lord, it is much harder to stand up in 'even up and down' shoes. My normal right boot is 3 or 4 cm up in the heel and it is much harder to stand up without that
Diaries/Calendar
Well as most of my diary functions are in my blog and web pages this is unaffected. Calendar is what is gonna happen, I got a bit peed off with not being able to put stuff in every week etc so I gave up and restarted and updated my Google calendar again
Showering
It occurred to me s'morning, as I felt too rough to have a shower last night that for most people it's relatively easy but for me walking a bit with no splint, washing my back etc then getting dried and dressed makes it into a tiring stressful event

Clock
So I was in my room today with the MOS who was changing my alarm mobile etc. He said "Which plug is your mobile?" I pointed" he removed it but instead it was my new alarm clock that went black in the screen. We said "Whoops/No Neil" etc then plugged it back in, and because it had a battery as well as plug the time came on correctly, no need to reset it again
Out And About
Well. Gosh. (Bang, bang, chop, chop) Busy (Busy, Work, Work)
So today I had 5 hours with my new Support Worker, Ed. Gosh, what a day we had. Firstly we went to that Tesco's place where I bought a New Phone as my old one was getting wonky. And my new phone was really cheap as I just want a simple phone, not camera, internet etc. He sent me 2 txts afterwards and I was able to delete them both at once, which my old phone had not being doing for a while. While we were there we purchased some Guinness as it is St Patrick's Day today. Afterwards we came back here, got my new phone charged and working with my existing SIM card (so the same number), I had some lunch, then we headed off to look for furniture. Three flipping places we looked to no avail. We went to a Charity Shop to give them my old phone. And if I had had to get a Taxi for every journey I would have spent 20 or 30 quid just on those today
So gosh yes, we had a good day, no time to look for cars but we will probably do that on Monday after shopping. Oh ObAnd he cleaned my kitchen floor which I tried to do t'other night but then every time I went back in the kitchen my wheel's were making a mess, but today we went out, so the floor was dry by the time I got back
ObAnd(2) and I scanned and emailed the first of his monthly "pay me" sheets, he took a copy to post too, it needs to be done on this date every month, so he had a small claim this month

Saving JPGs
And it occurred to me today when I go to save a JPG, it says SAVE, below that SAVE AS then bottom SAVE FOR WEB which if you click it, I discovered today, you can adjust various stuff to make the picture file smaller, sometimes 80% lower, but the picture the same size IYSWIM
Men On The Moon
So I was outside this evening and I noticed a beautiful moon. For some reason I thought "Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin" which it turns out was correct. Very strange and not really relevant but more proof that my memory is getting better
CBS
Well Denyse came in s'morning and listened to me waffling about how excited I was about tomorrow then Nic Cosmos came in from CBS. He looked at my flat now, measured it and door widths etc, and we talked about the place I will wanna buy, what I want/need etc. He seemed quite pleasant but I feel a bit 'done and dusted' now.
Up And At 'Em
So I set my alarm last night as I need to be up in time today. Woke up s'morning, got up then 3/4 of an hour later my alarm clock beeped
