Bang, bang, chop, chop......(1)

What a day of it. First of all Paul came and talked for 1/2 an hour then we went out to meet the gym instructor at the gym. She had to go off somewhere today so we were mmet by a different instructor (Who had a very nice looking pierced tongue) who talked it over with me and filled in the rest of the notes that someone else hadn't taken about me. In the end we agreed that I will go back to the gym and have 1 on 1 instruction from a MOS, no classes which is good.

Then after lunch we headed off to Carmel where 99% of the gates were clear but one, just one, had about a million tonnes of rubbish that someone had dumped.

Lastly we went to Waverley Stores and got loadsa organic shopping and they looked in the book and tried to find stronger Organic Coffee for me

(1) Busy, busy, work, work

Telly

As I am bored with this morning I looked up programs that were recommended to me t'other night and I am currently watching Qi which is rather good

Out To Play

And we are going out to play at Iechyd Da Folk Club tonight, on the way we will stop at Toby's house and pick him up and take him too

And it was relatively cool, I didn't know what to say to Toby but we both seemed to have a goof time

Lunch time

Then we went out and had a lunch in Morrison's store café. I wanted to go shopping afterwards but I don't need anything so I didn't

S'morning

So this morning Denyse, Ann and Keith Lewis, my new social worker, came in to discuss who is paying for my care. Mr social worker is coming back in a fortnight (and Denyse) to assess me (whatever that might mean). I think it went well, they seemed to be not contradicting me etc

Alarm Clock

So I went to bed last night, thought "I'd better just check my alarm clock" and tried pushing all kinds of buttons on my watch. It is harder because that involves my right hand. After hours of pushing buttons I wasn't sure, I thought it might not be set but didn't know what to do. This morning I woke up as the alarm clock on my mobile phone had been set by me before this last night, that's what I should have been checking

Telly

So I am watching telly again tonight

And I watched another program later

'Copter

Then I was outside today and a MOS from across the road was flying a remote control mini-helicopter for one of the clients. It needed charging but still flew about 20 ft up in the air.

I had newer seen one before, I didn't know that they existed

Extra Ed-ding

Then today I had a morning session with Ed as Paul is in hospital having some (minor apparently) treatment. So he came here, did some paperwork, some hoovering then he went into the kitchen to hide as Linda Smith the chiropodist that I had phoned to make an appointment came round and cut my toenails. Then we actually watched some less then a week old comedy on iPlayer, which seemed fun but really unusual for me

Visitors

This morning I was bored then Denyse came in to tell me about the meeting they had just had(1) about me, about how it is working out for me, and about how she is coming on Thursday morning with my social worker, who afterwards hopefully my claim comes thru

(1) Instead of having the meeting here like they did last time as it was too hectic, I couldn't remember

Then Sarah the OT who helped me cook a meal for my visitors. One of whom didn't come as I was moaning about having to cook for all 3 folk

THEN my visitor came in, my daughter, and it was lovely

Ed-ed

So I went shopping with Ed s'morning, did it and brought my shopping back. Then we went off to try my A4067 route back, which turned out to be wrong, unknown to me and heading for Liverpool or somewhere via the Brecon Beacons

Posh

And it was an excellent night at the folk club, miles away tonight

Flying

So I was outside tonight, I thought "That's very big for a blackbird", looked more as it came closer and realised it was yellow. I think I saw an Eagle

(More) Tra la la

That Toby chap is on his way, well not yet, he is coming over, walking from his house, later today

And it was cool, he was here for a couple of hours, are the pizza that I had made then set off home. It was easy.

And he did thank me for greeting him "Hello first born son"

Hairband

And I got my right hand and my left hand on my hairband and was able to tighten it tonight.

For the first time in years, I was able to get my right hand on last night but I didn't tighten it then

Tra la la

Today I am watching rugby(1) on Telly and that Sam chap is on his way

(1) And that Wales beat Argentina

And that Sam chap came and had tea. It was strange, I didn't feel like I was on show or looking at him, we were just together which was nice. We talked a bit, he is gonna cum next week at some point too, it was nice to see him and try to begin to catch up

Bobble

And I tried to reach my pony tail with my right hand tonight. It felt like, after some movement/stretches, my left hand could feel my right hand about a cm away from my pony tail

And on Saturday AM I have just managed to hold my "hair coming out of my bobble" with my right hand. For the first time in over 8 years!!!

Weight

And they weighed me again today, they said they didn't expect me to have lost much as I am not exercising but they were wrong

Then after the doctor's we went shopping, to Waverley Stores where we bought most of the weeks groceries

Then Paul came in. He did some paperwork first as we had time, then felt my right leg. He wasn't satisfied with it so we went off to the Doctor's. The Dr looked at it and just said "No, it is because you are not using it much, there is no problem" So there you are
