First Born

Then this evening Toby came to see us. We had a quality time, yes he is pissed off with his life but making plans to get on. We made arrangements that he is gonna come early next week and cook Chilli Sin Carne for both of us

Small-er

Then we went off to the gym, told them to be gentle with my arm and did a good session.

Then we went to Morrison's, had a sandwich, bought some washing powder for Toby, dropped it off and came home

Small-ing

As soon a Paul came in today I had to tell him my tale of woe... "So I took my phone into the loo this morning, read txt messages while I was having a poo, stood up, washed my hands and can't find my phone now. Is it in my bum-bag? Is it in my pickets? Is it on the side in the bathroom? No, so I was beginning to think I must have dropped it down the loo then flushed". So he phoned it and we could sort of half hear it so we knew it wasn't down the loo. But where was it. After much looking he had a brainwave, said "Stand up" and there on my 'chair, beneath my legs was my phone? How did it get there, no idea. I must have set it down on my chair, wiped my bum, stood up, washed my hands and then sat down without removing it

At least we found it in the end

Boat Club

And we went to an out of order folk club tonight as we had 2 members of staff with us, one learning, and it was impressive, including the strange Happy New Year group who weren't to my surprise asking for charity money. But double basses in a folk club?

Doctors

Then I went to the Doctors and showed him my sore arm. But he said "Nowt to worry about, just pulled muscle" so phew

Napping

Then I had one

Denyse

After lunch that Denyse lady came round to talk about loadsa stuff. We only managed to discuss half of it but we have agreed on a Skype session next week

Pauling

So s'morning Paul came and then we went to Morrison's and did about an 1/8th of a normal shop as I had been there yesterday. Then we came back here, dropped it off and went back to Morrison's with Toby in tow. We spent about 30 quid on his food shopping as he owes most of his giro away. Not through his own fault this time

Heat

And it is much warmer now, reading outside tonight after 9 o'clock it is merely a bit chilly rather than freezing like it was last week

Rugger

Then this evening we went to the club where we usually go to Folk Nights and were in a room full of Wales fans watching the rugby. And it was a close match, Ireland were winning at the end until 2 minutes before when they got a penalty which Wales scored

Then afterwards a very good band played for a couple of hours, they were very good

Quote

And yesterday when Timmy knocked the door I walked and answered it. He commented that I have never done that. Fairy nuff. It only occurred to me that usually I am too scared to walk until someone else has tightened my right boot, the one with the splint in

Much Warmer

And tonight being outside this late it is merely a bit chilli, not as cold as a very cold thing which it has been for 5 or 6 days

No Hands

And I am still working on this standing without helping by pushing with my hands as it is still improving so ..... hoo-flipping-ray

Shopping

Then we went out to Morrison's and bought half of the stuff that was on my list for Monday as I will be busy on Monday afternoon so I want it to be finished quickly on Monday

Lunch

And after our shopping trip today we went to the bakers and bought a cheese and onion pasty and a custard slice. Now I have known about cheese and onion pasties for 30 or 40 years but these Custard Slices, I have no memory of eating one before my accident but now I think mmmmm Why didn't I know?

Tim

So with Timmy today first of all we had to fix my electric toothbrush as it wasn't charging. Then Timmy was able to take his coat off. But he had to put it back on as we went shopping for body warmers as I don't wanna big coat on sometimes but it is too cold to just have my jumper on.

Then I came back, had a nap and now......

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
