Geetaring

Then Freya came into see me, she seemed more pleasant today but who can tell. After we had a delicious curry that I cooked earlier today (It was delicious) Later it was doing my head in as Freya was playing my electric guitar, the one that I used to be able to play. I had to go outside as I was upset when Freya came out and said "You gave me your talent" which made me cry even more

AND as Freya said "Try this" I got my guitar back out and while I still can't play it by a long stretch I could actually play better than I have managed in some years tonight

OT

Then Sarah the OT came over. We were discussing curry when the door knocked again. It was Ruth. So we all 3 talked for 20 minutes then Ruth apologised and left.

Then me and Sarah got into making curry. We had a recipe for Green Thai Curry and good lord was it easy to make. Put 70% of the ingredients in the blender, chop the rest and it seems lovely.

THEN we tried to order online my veg trug but the website wouldn't work, so we phoned them up and ordered it over the phone

So aargh etc, bang bang chop chop busy......

Tooth

So my tooth seems to have got a lot better, now I have stopped doing that rinse after every meal, and it seems that I can chew a bit with that side of my gob now

She's (Not) Got Pink Hair

And Claire the Psychologist came to see me s'morning, we talked about Brain Injury and getting better etc, she decided that it would be good for me to see her again but waiting for funding now

But at one point when I was expressing how clever I felt I was/am she said that clever people do get better from BI, so (smug, smug, smug)

Busy

So I have none of "my team" coming but blinking busy anyway

Wiv Paul

So me and Paul went to Headway meeting which was more pointless than usual as there was no guest speaker tonight, we all left early so we headed off until we came to a pub in Pontargothi which a) was more accessible, b) open and c) sold whiskey mac's.

Edding

Well this morning me and Ed went 1st of all to Waverley Stores where we got most of our organic shopping,and then we went to Morrisons and got the rest of my shopping list

Aargh

Can't say much, me and Paul went to watch motorbike races today, which was both shitty and exciting

Puppy

And I met a woman's eight week old puppy tonight, it was by far the youngest dog I have ever stroked. Both my dogs were grown up b4 they got rescued and moved to a kind home, mine

Reminded

Now I am gonna cook pasta for tea tonight. It used to be one of my regular dishes but I haven't cooked it in a couple of years that I recall, possibly 8 years in total. Because I wasn't sure about whether to eg bring the water to the boil first etc, I had to check it and yes, I had remembered every stage correctly

But it was actually nicer than I expected but it felt a bit strange putting that little pasta on to boil, I think I am used to cooking for at least 3 or 4 people at a time, but it was nice anyway. What's an easy dinner with pasta? Grated cheese and salad?

New Phone

So my new phone was displaying time a XX:XXam then later YY:YYpm. I wanted 24hr clock but couldn't find it. Eventually when checking the format I realised it was already set to 24hr clock instead of 12hr. So I changed it to 12hr (no change) then put it back to 24hr and now it is expressing the time as ZZ:ZZ. No AM or PM. Obviously it was confused and befuddled but now I have had to say "No, like this"

Up

Still looking at my car out of the window...

And today I wanted some CD's to put in it, but all my CD's are full of MP3's which I don't know if it can play. So I burned 2 new CD's converted to "proper" format. I put them in the car along with one of my fuller MP3 CD's, so we can test next time I am away.

At 7AM tomorrow, when we are leaving to watch bike races.

Pauling

So first thing s'morning when Paul came here he took me off to the Vauxhall Garage in Carmarthen where after much signage and discussion we left in my new (45 miles on the clock) Vauxhall Zafira which is strange and wonderful.

Then he drove my new car to the swimming pool where again my mobility seems to be improving. Then he drove me back here in my new car, handed me the key and went off

Lord

Well I have eaten my dinner tonight and didn't even remember to be careful with half my mouth. Obviously much better

Edded

Well, what a day. An hour later than usual Ed arrived. Firstly he looked at my phone, click, click, click. No joy. So we went to the O2 shop where the chap with the "guru" badge on fixed my phone for free. It was because I was trying to send photos, which I had taken with my phone, and it got stuck, trying to send massive files.

Then we came back here and I had loadsa salad for my lunch then we went to Dynamic Rock where we went in. Ed said he was surprised that I didn't go "See you next week" but I got stuck straight in. Put on the harness, put on the cap (over my head-wear), then just got stuck into trying to climb. I only made it about 18 inches today but they have now met me and will change some of the grips etc and I will try again next week

I only managed 18 inches but it was climbing up from a standing position by myself

Phew

Oh and Paul did weigh me again s'morning. 10lbs less than I was last weighed, you have gotta loose it slowly to stay thin, so (TICK)

Busy

And I was 16/18 of the way through eating the starter at lunchtime(1) when I remembered that my tooth was out. Obviously much better

(1) I was in the café at the end of King Street with Paul, as we had already been out to St Clears looking for where this chiropodist is, at a guess she must be totally mobile

Muesli

And eating breakfast s'morning was much easier, I was able to chew with 1½ sides of my mouth, so obviously it is getting better/improving

Car

And it has been announced tonight that my new car will be ready on Thursday but it will take them a day to sort out the insure so on Friday morning I am going to pick up my new car.

Cooking

So Sarah the Occupational Therapist came to see me after lunch with a few more ingredients. Together we made Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni which is now awaiting to be cooked for me and Freya's tea. Half of it, the other half is in the freezer awaiting another meal for the two of us. ObAnd there is a small amount of the tomato sauce in the freezer too awaiting some boiled pasta to eat it by myself. But good lord, it looks much too posh for me to have cooked, surely I opened a packet and it was just there
