Socks

And after having a shower tonight I got dressed and came back out, I didn't put on my socks and splint, and good lord but it feels different now, my right foot is going down properly etc etc. It hasn't done this for so long, and I am going to the swimming pool again on Friday, it might help me again

With Little Chap

So today me and little Paul got it together. Last night I was awake at about 6AM but by the time my alarm clock went off I was asleep, big style. So by the time I had woken up enough to do my splint, eat breakfast and do a big pooh Paul was already here, I didn't even have time to drink my coffee first. Anyway once he arrive and I finished my coffee, he did a few chores, said "Lets leave the gardening until it is dry" then we headed off into Carmarthen, into that evil Tesco's shop, where we bought some swimming goggles and a little mini kick board float type thing. Then we went off to the end of King St to that restaurant, Frankie and Benny's, we ate at last week where we had another different meal, which was as delicious as last weeks.

That Paul has taken my goggles and a black marker pen, that we also bought, away to colour in the right hand lens, to make it opaque

And...

So I started today tapping my foot. Then the meeting came here, all 4 of "my" staff. Last night the chap was talking about how we can find it exhausting just being in a difficult, stressful, conversation and now I believe him. After much nonsense I went off into the kitchen with Sarah and we made this evenings delicious dinner, it was Moroccan Mushrooms With Cous Cous and it was very delicous. About a third was put in the freezer for another day.

THEN my staff finished and went home.

THEN Freya came and really enjoyed her food

Dinner

And for dinner tonight I had summat that I cooked. No instructions on a packet, no recipe, it was the first meal that I have made up in some time, and it was nice!!

Yes, I had leftover leek, leftover celery, leftover summat else with Pesto and a Cous Cous and stuff fry up.

Headway-ing

Then someone came to see me and said "Anthony isn't going to H/W tonight, his cars broken". So I felt but today is the last day for giving in our "going on holiday with the kids" forms, so I asked Ed and he has to leave about 8.30 but can take me. Phew

And wow that was interesting, even tho he spoke after 8.30 it was still very interesting, fatigue and brain injury

Ed-ding

So first of all I got up etc then had to wait, after breakfast etc, for about a half for Ed. He came in, made my bed again as I had taken the sheets and blankets off and washed them, then we went off to Morrisons, shopping. There I went in my chair for most of it but stood up about an aisle away from the till. Gosh but it was very hard concentrating on keeping my foot upright but I managed. I stayed on my feet, easy if I'm not trolley-ing, paid and pushed the trolley away. Then I sat down again. Yes, it was very difficult but next week I will try an aisle and a quarter etc etchttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Then we came back, put the shopping away then went back to Morrisons as I had said "Cash till" as we came out but as we had chilled food we didn't stop on the way out. We parked the car opposite, about 20yds away and I said "No chair", got out with my walky stick and walked all the way there and back. It was only a short walk but it felt important for me to say "No chair"

When we came back we went on Ebay to try and buy a wallet for my parking permit. It all went pear shaped but them we went online and tried to sort out my paypal account so next time I will be able to use that and pay on ebay

Telly

Good lord, I have watched loadsa telly today. There was loadsa MotoGP motorbike racing today, 2 races rather then 1, then there was an F1 race this evening, which was rained off, so far. It ran for 20 minutes then they said "Nah"

Double good lord, I was looking at www site a number of hours later to see the result and they were just about to restart the race. So it is running now, it's nearly bedtime and they are just in mid~race

Memory

Good lord, I remember new stuff every day.

Today it was the first verse of this (noisy)

Drought?

Well today it is raining, back to proper Welsh Weather. According to the forecast it is gonna rain heavily all day. So hopefully no drought here ATM

No Lie In Today

Tra-la-la I'm up and at em it sez 7.00 on my clock

Radio

So I was remembering that I used to like The Friday Rock Show so tonight I got out my copy of iplayer and it's now on as The Monday Midnight Rock Show, which I am listening to ATM. But next I will listen to the 2.00AM on Tuesday Morning Punk Show which is a lot more radical than R1 used to do when I still listened to it

Still Good Lord

And my right foot still seems to be bending nearly as far as yesterday. Hoo-flippin'-ray

Party

And as they were setting up for The Summer Fete it rained big style so they had to move it down the road. Then it stopped raining. Then as I was sitting outside with a long face on someone offered me a lift, so I went and thoroughly enjoyed it. If a bit strange I still enjoyed it.

And I won a prize at the party

Lie In

And it was 9.30 before I got up today, a very big lie in by modern standards

Wow, what a day

Well firstly Paul came round here. We went straight out to a Mobile Phone Shop in Carmarthen. It looked promising but they didn't have 1 I could try. So we went to another Phone Shop and they had one I could try. Good lord, it is more impressive (to me) than Paul's phone and available cheaper. My heart is set on a Nokia E7 and now we have loadsa hassle 'cos they want my debit card address to be exact whereas it actually says Scotland cos my sister is my deputy. So I suspect, that he will contact Denyse later, she will contact big sister and she will order my phone from up there and ask them to deliver it here. Or summat.

THEN after all this excitement we came back here, ate cheese and onion pasties, and Sara arrived. We all went together to the swimming pool in Carmarthen. Gosh it felt good, I wasn't swimming but floating, walking in the water with no splint on etc. It felt strange being in the water but I suspect that my right leg was freeing up slightly

And good lord, but my right heel seems much more touch floorable even tho it is hours since I was in't water, it may have done me some good.

Open links

For some reason my PC had stopped opening links in a browser when I clicked them, so I had to copy and paste links into Firefox. So I was trying to sort it out. I looked on the www, then I looked again, looked again etc. In the end I was on a page and there was a click to see if Firefox is the default browser button, I thought "Why not?" clicked it and it said "No, wanna connect it?" so I obviously clicked yes and now it works. It has been broken for days

Eding

So this morning I woke, sat up in bed, was putting on my splint etc when my alarm clock went off. Gosh, a lie in by my standards. I finished splinting, went had breakfast, went to the loo and did an enormous pooh, came out of the bathroom and Ed knocked the door. So we went was too far east on the M4 to the Wildlife Trust where I did good work on the PC

Paul

Then Paul came over, and waited a bit as we were still at Dr's, and then did loadsa paper work and hoovering etc. We talked loads and I had a play with his phone, I now want one like that, internet, GPS, camera, and more to the point notepad, etc and loads of other aps. and download more if I want some. He knows the score, if we find one that I want then I will have to email the serial no. to Carolyn who will then, as my prefect, set up an account so it will be paid monthly. And I think it is about 25% more than I use in PAYG every month and a lot posher. If we can find one that I like and can use

Busy

So first thing s'morning I went to the Asthma Clinic with Denyse. We spoke to the nurse, and that was a busy conversation. For a start she told me that I can take between 2 and 8 puffs a day of brown puff, I currently use 4. It depends on how many blue puffs I am needing, if it is less than 2 or 3 per week then lower the brown dosage. She also said "Want to try one of these?" and showed me an Aerochamber device that you take your puffs thru to make them seem stronger. So if it works I will be able to drop brown puffs

Wiv Freya

And it went reasonably well with Freya today. She was still using my PC almost exclusively and shouting at me but I said to her at one point "So I realise that we don't need to speak etc, you are just here 'cos you wanna be with me" and she looked a bit embarrassed but agreed
