Skype

God. Talk about technology has gone mad. Well on the laptop which has a built in webcam you can "phone" other webcam onliners and talk to the real time moving image of them. Good lord, I feel out of date

Freya

Then Freya came round and had a quality just father and daughter hanging out day, I was well pleased

Swimming

So me and Small Paul went to the swimming pool this morning and had an excellent swimming and walking up and down the pool session. And I seem to have got a bit used to Paul being there and helping me dry etc, it seems less embarrassing today

Then after we went swimming we stopped and had a sandwich for lunch in the café there. I parked my chair at the table, walked to the counter, ordered my food and carried my tray back. On my own two feet

Freestanding

And I have noticed recently, from my wheelchair, the loo, seats in class etc that I seem to be able to stand up most of the time without using my hands to pull me too

Less Nap

And as I was nervous because Toby had told me he would be here at 4 PM, and I couldn't nap 'til 3.20, I only had a 20 minute nap today

And it is now 11.10 and I am still up

After midnight still up now

Cooking

Then I cooked the dinner from the lentils, the veg selection I bought yesterday and the leek that I picked from my garden t'other day

Singing

Then eventually Ed gave me a copy of the video that he had been working on for a couple of weeks, so at last I have a video of me singing

After lunch

So then after lunch we went to the gym where I was alone with Samantha again. It went well and she was telling me, and I could see it myself, how much better I am getting and how ½ the exercises that we do are irrelevant as I should concentrate on some

Ed-ding

So Ed-ding came here this morning and did stuff on Laptop for ages, this afternoon we are going back to gym, so....

FC

And then we actually made it to the folk club tonight which was rather excellent and we are actually going back there on Sunday to watch the rugby and then the band that are playing

Busy

So today me and Tim(my) went out the back and looked at my veg patch and picked some organic leeks from there

Then me and him went to...... shh.... Tesco's in order to buy some ingredients so tomorrow I shall be cooking vegetable stew in a saucepan. With my leek

OT

Then Sarah The Occupational Therapist came round. First of all she was videoing me doing the nine peg test, then I had to do it with both hands 3 times and counted etc. Then she talked about my shoulder and the restrictions of movement and how I need to buy some sponges and use them to clean my cupboards etc

Noisy link

Tim(my)

So Tim(my) came round this morning. He fixed the loo roll holder to make it more upright, took me to the shop and bought Toby a loada food, delivered it to his house, did some paperwoprk etc

Freezin'

After it was minus 1 at half past 6 tonight it is flippin' freezin outside tonight

Busy #7

Then that chap Toby came round, he seemed cheerful and well, and didn't owe people his giro on Tuesday so hopefully.....

Busy #6

Then I just had time for a nap before next thing

Busy #5

So after lunch we fitted my new loo roll holder on the rail that's in my bathroom being careful not to drill any of the bits that were there

Busy #4

Then we went to Gregg's Bakery and parked outside, then I walked in on my own two feet and bought a pasty and a custard slice for lunch which we then came home to eat

Busy #3

Then we went to Wilkinsons and tried to buy a bog roll holder, either free standing or to attach to the rail next to my loo. No avail so we went to B&Q to try and buy the bits to make one. Eventually we found 'em and bought them

Busy #2

Then we went to the gym again. For a start I had my pet rude parrot with me to brighten up their day, and secondly I think it is doing me some good. They seem to think that my attitude has changed for the better
