Stag

So we went to Llanelli looking for the Folk Club, after we waited 20 minutes a man came up to us and said "Not tonight" so we drove off back to Carmarthen.

We were originally going to the pub at the bottom of my road but I said "Take me elsewhere" and we ended up in the Stag And Pheasant which seemed worth the trip, reasonably busy even tho it was only Wednesday night etc etc

Allergic

So I said to Tim(my) that I have a bit of an allergic reaction on my leg to my splint. He said "OK, lets look", took my splint off and could see the rash and it only coincided with the metal bits on the inside of attachments. He put 2 sticky plasters on the metal bits and it now feels so much better

Off Topic

Then Sarah the Occupational Therapist came to see me and we talked about loadsa stuff. Basically we arranged what we are gonna be doing in the next few months sessions. We are gonna be looking at The Hero's Journey but/and we needed some extra stuff. Some cooking, some watching telly, some of getting a life

And she discussed my being able to write with my right hand and what we were gonna look at improving next time

(My)

Tim(my) came in s'morning, we went shopping, bought some blueberries, tra la la

Napper

I napped today in the car on the way back from Swansea today (as did Toby). Paul said "Asleep", I said "No", and he said "Yes, you were snoring for 15 minutes then".

Smelly

So today I was listening to the MOS who said "You were smelly yesterday", I said "But how, I washed my armpits night before...." and he said "Ah, but you need a shower because of unpleasant grod's etc, so tonight I had one and it wasn't as unpleasant as I recall so, perhaps, it might be a more frequent adventure

Pizza Express

While we were in Swansea we went to Pizza Express for lunch, which was delicious and as big or as small (for us dieters) as you want. I was rather impressed, there is a place in Carmarthen that serves Pepsi when you have asked for a Coke (and they looked at me a bit strangely when I complained) but in Pizza Express I said "Can I have a Coke, please" and she replied "No, sorry, Pepsi?" which I think is more respectful, giving customers what they have ordered

What A Day

So Paul came round s'morning, we were talking about "stuff" when there was a knock at the door. It was that Toby chap who had come hours before he was expected, to print off a copy of his CV to leave with another employer. We ran him into the potential boss then took him to Swansea to check out ticket prices and availability at the Football Stadium (Which is where I watched Rugby last week). While we were there Toby went to a bigger shoe shop and bought himself some new trainers

...&About

Burry Port Folk Club, the lovely voice of Ali, tonight.

Fixed It

Then I tried to watch some BBC I-player but nowt was coming on. We both looked at instructions and waited ages while it reset still nowt. Then I went to bed for my nap. When I got up Ed was watching I-player again. This was because of my 2 Wifi plugs needed resyncing. Dunno why they had gone off but they work now

'Ding

So s'morning me and Ed went to the shop where I didn't need much, I took £50 from the bank and asked Carly if she could replace it, came back and had a discussion about petty cash etc

Carolyn txted me back (from her new phone) and said "The bank is closed 'til Wednesday but I will do it then"

My memory

And I woke up s'morning, got my breakfast and remembered that there were no blueberry's, I had finished them yesterday. It might seem strange but my memory is improving, it worked at all

Lordy

Then this afternoon Tim(my) came round, chatted for a bit then we set off to Swansea to the new rugby stadium. We stopped for an early dinner on't way there then made it there in good time. It was up in a lift to the disabled bit which was 2 seats, 2 wheelchair spaces, 2 more seats, 2 more wheelchair bits etc all the way along to the end of the disability section. There were no seats behind us so access was excellent, there were loadsa disabled loo's and a bar there too. And it turns out that Tim(my) is a referee occasionally so I could ask him to clear my mind occasionally.

The game was entertaining, we had an excellent view, I did enjoy it but watching the game I could really tell how f**ked my vision is, gaps and not being able to look both ways without turning my head etc.

So even tho I did enjoy tonight I don't think I will wanna go again unless I can get some dramatically improved vision

Clever Chappy

And "someone" (who needs to be kept secret) has just sent me 23 books for my Kindle. VVVVVBG

HNY

Well Happy New Year I s'pose

Buying

When we were on the way back from dropping Freya AND Toby at Julia's we went shopping briefly. First of all I wanted a bottle of Whiskey to go with the two bottles of Green Ginger Wine that Brian dropped off for me yesterday. Secondly (and this is why we went to Tesco's) I wanted to buy a jug with a lid on so instead of mixing single drinks worth of Mac I will be able to make a few days worth and keep it in the freezer

Off, in a bit

So this morning firstly we are going to Lloyd's TSB to find out why my cash card isn't working, then we are going over to take Freya put for the day

Then we went out for a Christmas dinner, me and Freya (and Paul) it was very nice and it was nice being with Freya too

And WOW but afterwards I went to a woman's shop with Freya, just good lord, it didn't hurt as much as I expected and she got what she wanted

Surprise

And tonight I was sitting here minding my own business when somebody walked up and said "Hello". It was Brian, Julia's father they are visiting from Leighton Buzzard for a few days and he came to see me. It was a bit emotional for me but after talking to him I know that Julia did love me, but I was taken away from her.

Cashless

So today, amongst shopping trips, I went to the hole in the wall to try and use my other cash card, not debit-worthy. I checked my PIN beforehand and put it in. I entered my PIN and it said "This PIN has been blocked". Hoo-flipping-ray, it was just after the banks close for the day when I discovered this, so tomorrow, before we go and get Freya I have to go to Lloyd's Bank and try to be assertive

Ybot

Then out of the blue Toby came round to see me tonight, to wish me a Happy Christmas etc. I was able to give him the first of 3 presents that Davy and Nora sent for all 3 of my kids
