Her Lift

And it was actually that Julia who came to get her tonight, Moishe and family have moved into a caravan in Freya's garden, so very hectic. But Julia said "I found your old wood burner that used to keep you warm when you lived at Happy Valley, want it?" and good lord, I had wondered where it was who had got it etc and it turned out to be under a pile of junk at Julia's. I don't need it but just sentimental reminding me of when I had a life

And strangily-strange. Tonight when I saw Julia I thought "Odin, how did I ever love that?", last time I saw her I thought "I still love her", so obviously progress in the getting better thing, but hopefully I will have come to terms with it better and won't think such nonsense next time I see her

Visitor

Today, eventually, that Freya arrived. Then we had what proved to be a right performance but in the end it was a nice dinner. Yes, first of all I made the Falafel mixture and put one burger shaped bit on before the ring had heated enough and I had to call "Freya" and get her to help me turn it over. The second one was fine, easy to turn after a similar amount of time so it must have been the cooker. Then I had to call again and ask for help cutting the Pitta bread. She said "No, not yet" and put them in the toaster for a bit after which they were easily cuttable too.

But it was delicious, the falafel in Pitta mix. It would have been even nicer with tomato but green salad was a close second

Poohing

So today I went to the loo, poohed large style, then wiped my bottom, then wiped some more with loo roll, I didn't use wipes, then I did one last wipe and checked the loo roll for dirty bits. Then I was so impressed I needed to check again. Good lord, I had done a whole poohing cycle without any extra wipes, I managed it all with loo roll. For the first time in ages!!!

Breakfast Time

And I was eating brekky s'morning and I couldn't get a newly remembered song out of my head

Noisy

Lie In

This morning I woke up about 6.50. I thought "Nah, too early to get up" and dropped off 'til about 8.15. I repeated it and fell asleep once more until 9.05. I haven't succeeded in this "Dropping off again" thing for ages and I managed it twice today.

Wiping

And I seem to have noticed that I am getting "better" at wiping my bum after poohing. I had to start, ages ago, I got some Grown-Up Wipes and I used to wipe with one or two loo roll then have to finish with 3 or 4 (or 5 or 6) wipes, now I use as many loo roll as I need and just use one wipe to make sure

Walkies

Well I went out today, stood up, reached for my walky stick and walked 3 times up and down the front

Busy

So s'morning I got up, had breakfast, was half way thru breakfast when my alarm ckock went off, finished breakfast etc.

Then Ed came over and took my to Morrisons. We got all we needed but couldn't find a MOS to complain to as they don't sell any Tofu with bits and Marinade which means that next week I will have to go to that Evil Tesco's Place to do my weeks shopping

Columns

And because I was wondering how to make my Webpage look "proper" I looked and figured out how to break it up into columns

Time

As I thought I got up at 9.15 actually the clocks have changed today as it is summar and actually 10.15. Oh what fun we had trying to set my watch and then I had to go back and re-change the Interweb time which I had to physically alter s'morning as I thought it was an hour out

Sunday...

...Bloody Sunday
Last night I was busy doing.... stuff.... didn't go to bed 'til 4 AM. Then this morning I lay in, asleep, 'til 9.15.

Decadent

Tr la lah

I was being a bit p*ssed off today what with being so close to death thru someone else's fault, I am still pretty f*c*ed by most folks standards nearly eight years later

Missing You Already

This afternoon I went across the road and had a glass of wine at the "Boss" there's party as she was retiring today.

I had to say "I was really surprised to hear you were retiring, you look much too young for that. Then it occurred to me, you must be entitled to an early retirement after the stress of working somewhere like this". She said "Awww" in response

Erm...

Friday

(noisy)

Crisis

And I suddenly realised that when I was tidying up the index page for my website last night that about 40 links had disappeared. They all still worked, so for once I was glad that they all had a standard name (N.T~Hxxx.html) so I just had to put one page up and change the xxx to the next number, save the page, then I had to rewrite all the links.

Ed

And luckily Ed is coming here for 6 hours today and we have no plan as such, because when I was getting dried after my shower last night I knocked the shower gel down onto the floor and the top broke in half. Sounds like no problem but it is a strange upside down jar that won't sit any other way up except lid downwards so shopping will use up some of our hours

Double good lord, we did the stuff I needed to s'morning, then came back here for lunch then pottered about in Carmarthen. Good lord but it has changed, we explored the new shopping center etc. Then we went opposite Ferryside and just pottered for a while, had an ice cream etc. When we were in town I got to use my key for a Disabled Loo that I have had for some time but have never been able to use yet

And we found Mynydd Cerrig where I used to live, they have changed all the roads leading to it

And gosh that right up seems too brief, we had a good, very important day oddling about

"For Odin's Sake"

Well I went to bed about half past midnight last night and fell asleep about 2 minutes later, woke up again at 7.50. And when I was putting on my shoe|splint combo today I put the laces over it for the first 2 bits then for the final one I pulled the splint on top. It seems like a fair enough compromise and I could do it up myself s'morning and didn't need help

Heathen Deity

So as I needed a heathen deity instead of saying "In The Name Of God" so I had a Google and it turned up a Find Your Heathen Deity page. So I can now say "In The Name Of Odin"

Ow

And I had a shower tonight. As I was coming out of the bathroom I tapped my right foot against the door frame. Now if it had been my other foot I wouldn't have thought about it any more, what's done is done but as it was on the RHS of my body, the side that's f*c*ed, it hurt loads, I nearly cried.

Ruth

And I am going off in a bit to buy that (lovely) Ruth a (hopefully) nice lunch

And yes, it was both lovely, and the pancakes we had for pudding too. Mmmmm. AND as well as us Megan, Ruth's daughter came in to say hello, I managed to persuade her to let me buy her lunch too.... But she is 17 now, looking for work etc, that means she was only 9 when I had my crash

But I just had a fizzy water now as I have some Sloe Gin for tonight, stay sensible (ish)

And I was panicing a bit, thinking I can't have that much food for lunch then a big dinner, but I went to the fridge and checked the best before fate on the chopped up veg that I was gonna cook tonight but it's best before tomorrow. Guess what I am having for tea tomorrow?
