Will this wurk, posting from my new tablet pç

And WOW it did work. That was much too hard to do it often and it took me about 3/4 of an hour to type that one line but I wasn't sitting at my PC then (unlike now) but it worked!!! Just blinkin WOW

Ed

Then Ed came around and said "Hi". First of all he took me shopping where spent far too much in Morrison's as he spotted some extra veggis frozen food etc. Then we left to come back, I was in his car when my mobile rang, it was Julia's Dad Brian, he was sitting outside my flat as he had come to see me. So when we got back it was really strange but not unpleasant to see him. Then after Ed had done some chores while I caught up with Brian I had to ask Ed how to connect my new Tablet PC to the web and he repeated what I had tried many times yesterday but it worked for him. Now I have 2 PC's

And I remembered to take our parking permit with us today, unlike Ed

Lie In

So I woke up s'morning at 6.45 needed a pee. Had one and went back to bed. Failed to go back to sleep but still managed to stay there 'til 8.15. I managed to stay in bed even tho I was awake!!

Haircut

And a Dan The Haircutting Man has left work here to join the RAF I asked a bossy type who I should ask and she said "Giselle", and WOW was it worth asking. She Balded the sides as requested and did the Mohawk with the longest cutting tool and did loads of hand hair cutting to make my Mohawk blend nicely with the long bit at the back. Just wow and it was free

Slept In

I remembered to close the curtains last night so despite waking up for a pee about 3.40AM I went back to sleep and didn't wake up and get up 'til 8.50AM.

Messages To Me

Thanks to a reminder from Andy tonight I was able to work my machine so I can now leave myself messages again. It was an expensive piece of kit to do just that but when I have figured out how to do it online it will hopefully pay for itself. But I only bought it to leave messages

More Right

So today I was holding the milk in my right hand to pour it onto my coffee s'morning. Then I kept it in my right hand and tipped it onto my muesli. It might not seem like much of a difference to you but as I haven't used it for nearly 8 years 'til t'other day it is still a big step for me.

And this evening I poured both milk and my juice with my right hand. So I have a new exercise to make me better

Anniversary

So today it is exactly one year since I left the Rehabilitation Centre and came to this Supported Living place. A year when I am still better than I was last year

Pouring Milk

So tonight I had to open another bottle of milk, as usual for this process I helk the bottle in my right hand and pulled off the "seal" with my left hand. Then, for the last nearly eight years I would transfer the bottle into my (now) stronger left hand to pour. Buy tonight I poured it with my right hand, the first milk I have poured in nearly 8 years using my dominant hand

What A Day

Good lord, what a day. Well Paul and I went out shopping today. We were so activated that we didn't stop for lunch, until dinner time. Basically after much humming and hawing and asking questions I bought a new Advent Amigo 5, which hopefully I will be able to write notes on etc, and it will hopefully have interweb access too, which is a lucky bonus. Good lord, what a day it has been

And we drove up the motorway on the way back and at the end turned and took the road to Llandeilo, before we got there turned onto the Old A40 and avoided all the bank holiday queues we had passed on the way out

U&AE

Well obviously I was so excited about Paul coming to see me s'morning that I woke up and got up at 6.54 today

Phone Call

And I had a phone call tonight from another client at Kerwin Court who I used to say "Wow, aren't you....." to, I haven't thought about her for nearly a year but she phoned me tonight. She is doing very well too apparently

Strangeness

So while it is good being out and about with Ed and (Little) Paul I feel a bit...... well I wouldn't say I feel tired but I thought it was my restful weekend tomorrow from yesterday. So I am not tired but..... worn out at a guess

Right Hand

And when I was cutting up the onion to go in tonight's dinner I actually found that although my right hand is harder to use it cuts more precisely than my left

Ed

So I have been out and about with that Ed s'morning. We drove for an hour, got to WTSWW, waited for their puter to be switched on and password entered etc for fifteen minutes, did half an hours work then came back for another hour. When we got back I was introducing that Ed to the Rocky Horror Show and I expect he is gonna watch it tonight.

ObAnd for lunch today we called in at the last services on the M4 and just got a butty which I sat outside to eat

Mid link

And I had to practice again putting a link to mid page. So that this could link to the middle of this

With 'im

So I had hours with Paul s'morning, the second of my care workers to get his police check. We talked loads, looked online for some stuff (which he is gonna carry on looking for tonight and drop me an email when he finds it), went shopping for hand towels for visitors to my bathroom and looking at more gadgets, I couldn't use the one they had in stock and it was way too expensive, we were just about to go to the till when I spotted a "pick your own" stall where I filled a big tub with various candyking stuff

So on Friday he is back so we will go looking again

Forgetful

I went to bed in the dark last night (obviously) and forgot to close my curtains, so it was bright enuf to wake me up by 7.10 s'morn.

Strangenosity

Now I feel a bit weird this evening, I started a book on Digital Photography yesterday that I got for my birthday t'other day, I am enjoying it so far but today I don't feel .... patient enough to read books

Visitor

Then Freya came in to see me, it went well, she was here for much longer as it wasn't a school day
