weary

Gosh, what a day27. so Ed came to mine at 8.00 s'morning then drove for hours to reach Bristol airport then we got on a plane and flew to Glasgow where some of my family were waiting and the other half are coming tomorrow

Sam

Then later today that Sam chap came to see me and just generally be clever and good at 'puters etc. He is planning, if he can, to do a PhD in Biofuels which makes me a bit proud. He's my son and he wants to save the world. And we wished each other happy Christmas and Sam set up a Dropbox (which has extra size because he invited me) and he said that he really rates his Kindle too and he has already bought loadsa books so he will be able to Dropbox them to me for Christmas

And today I was having a crisis with BT, my email server was too knackered to post again today, I cried at Sam, he spent 35 seconds on my PC and it was working again

Alone

Then because Ed has so many hours with me tomorrow etc he went off today and left me alone

Packing

And we packed my luggage for tomorrow and he wrote down a list of additions that we need to pack last thing tomorrow morning

New Cushion

And the man came to deliver my new wheelchair cushion s'morning and just good lord, I feel much higher up than before, I think the old cushion must have been knackered

Warm

And last night in bed, as usual the heating switches off at midnight, and I was so warm(1) that I didn't need to pull my duvet over me at all last night

(1) Or so drunk??????

Excellent Folky

And we went to Llan-summat Folky Club and it was more excellent than usual

Tim

Timmy came here s'morning. We talked some bollox then went out to.... to...... to that Evil Tesco's shop, yes, I know, but we went there to try and pick up an 'normal' sized organic loaf as the sliced there today one I buy in Morrison's doesn't fit properly in the toaster. And I had to buy some more Organic Juice as I had finished this weeks smaller amount and I'm not going away for 2 days yet

Just In Time

And I took a phone call s'morning from someone who said "We shall deliver ur new wheelchair seat on Thursday, will u be in?" so I said "Y-E-flipping-S"

More Shopping

After lunch we went back to town and I bought a smaller pot of Listerine Mouthwash which will be easier in my hand luggage to Carolyns in a few days

Chocolate

Then "someone" gave me a piece of exploding chocolate that they had brought, which was unusual, scary but pleasing too

Also later today "someone" went around the shop and bought 2 Twix, 1 each, which we then bit the end off the bits, then bit the other end off and sucked up some hot coffee thru it. Then wait 10 seconds and nibble the rest, melty and mmmmm

Shopping

Then me and Paul went to town and had to look in 2 shops but eventually found a Bah Humbug, it's Christmas hat, which pleased me.

Alarm Clock

And this morning my alarm clock went off and woke me. Although I wasn't deeply asleep still...

Burry Port

Burry Port Folk Club tonight, I didn't sing owt despite many requests and I didn't have too much to drink

Boots

This afternoon I went for a nap, took off my boots and taking Paul's advice from yeaterday I undid all the laces in the right boot from top to bottom. Then I had a nap, sat back up and reached for my boots. The right one I was nearly putting it on by myself, I paused, put on the straightforward left one then tried again. And YES, I was able to put the right boot on and then tie it by myself. The first time I have ever been able to do that since I got my new splint and boots!!

Me&Ed

Then later (it seems much later as I have been up for hours) that Ed chap came in, put my splint on for me etc, then took me to Morrisons to do the small rest of the weeks shopping. Now we are back at home and hoping to go back out after lunch (when hopefully it's drier) to buy some bits for my toothbrush

We have already phoned the airline and checked that when I clicked on "wheelchair" that they paid attention

Then we went to Superdrug to get more heads for my electric toothbrush, and it was half the price of buying 'em online. Half!!!

ETB

So s'morning after lying awake for a bit, got dressed etc, sat outside for a bit, was half way thru eating an enormous bowl of breakfast when the alarm clock went off

Weird Dream

And when I was asleep last night I seemed to think that the batteries had fallen out of my camera, I had put them together but had 2 pieces left over. When I woke up my camera was still in my bag and functioning

Superfood

Then today while we were in't shops we saw, and bought, a coconut, a superfood which I thoroughly enjoyed, both the milk and eating the flesh

Out&About

Then this afternoon we went to a)Morrison's Supermarket where I bought some weekly supplies which we bought back here and put it away, then b)We went to Matalan where I bought another black bobble hat to keep in here as well as the one in the boot of the car, and a pair of fingerless gloves so hopefully I can wear gloves and operate my gadgets too
