Ybot

Then, better late than never, that Toby chap came round for his tea etc

Gymming

So "we" went to Gym after lunch today. There was a new member of the class today, a chap called Chris who suffers from the after affects of a stroke. EG he can't move his left arm at all.

Banking

And for some reason last night my online bank wouldn't let me sign it so after some trouble I had to fill in the "ask for new password and memorable information" which I did last night but then it said "Phone us to confirm some details between 10AM and 7PM tomorrow" which I was shitting myself over but it went OK s'morning and I can now go back into my bank account

Ed-ding

So s'morning that Ed is "on duty" for the first time in a week or so. When he showed up I nearly couldn't remember him but then I remembered who is the tallest person in my life ATM so.....

Out

Gosh, first of all we went for tea opposite the railway station we wanted to go to, had a quick dinner, crossed the road and met a load of folkies on the station. Eventually our train came, I stood up and climbed on board properly, we didn't need a rail to assist us, then we went to Ammanford by train, musical train, went in the end to an Ammanford Folk Club and played and listened to them too. Then it was time for the train back to Llanelli so we poppped into the Folk Club there which was suddenly much busier than in had been all night.

SaraH

And SaraH the OT came round today and tried to make my hand splint different. Dunno how succesful she was but she took the phone number of the supplier off me so she will be able either to ask 'em for a new one of some "splint making material".

Timmy again

What joy, Timmy again.

Today we are getting bored now, then Sarah OT is coming, then quick shower, quick nap then we are going to Llanelli to catch a train in the Heart Of Wales Railway to Ammanford where we are having an "out here" folk club just tonight, in the Great Western Hotel

Ybot

And later I was panicking "Where's Toby", we waited for ages, then drove to his house. No answer. So we went out anyway and had a dinner in a restaurant, panicking. While we were there Toby txted me and said "Sorry, it wasn't my fault, see you Thursday"

Timmy, Timmy and more Timmy

So Timmy is in s'morning, at lunchtime he will take me to the gym then later today that Toby chap should be coming over for dinner

Ho hum, I've done the gym now, it was OK as ever. As ever I still didn't like going there but it is flippin' doing me some good so.....

Folky

And we went to the folk club tonight which was excellent but they said "On Wednesday, come along" so we are getting a train to Llanelli and having a good time then we are back

After Lunchtime

And it is already after lunchtime and I am not hungry yet, I s'pose I'd better go and eat summat Well I have eaten now and read well into Harry Potter 5 but I had to stop reading. Too gripping or summat, and I need a nap. So see you later (perhaps not WS)

Bored with Timmy now

Ho hum, this morning I am with Timmy then this evening Paul is coming in. Hooray, so s'morning we went and did (an it didn't look like) a weeks shopping in Morrison's.

Although we had to go elsewhere (that T place) to get some blueberries

Young Men's Heathen Society

While we were in Swansea checking out the bowling place we diverted a bit and found where I used to work, years ago. I was a bit confused because across the street was different from my memory but as I am thinking about it that was the Student Union for the poly in Manchester that I was confusing it with

More Timmying

So with Tim s'morning we are going off to have a look at Bowling in Carmarthen, if I like it and can use the aid then we will have a day for me, Toby and Freya on my birthday. Bowling then buy 'em dinner.

It turns out it was in Pembrokeshire so we drove miles west, got there and it seems closed down for good. So it looks like on my birthday we will go bowling in Swansea instead, we will have to go visit there at some point

(Sigh) So s'afternoon we went eastwards to Swansea and found the bowling place there, it was noisy but looked OK, most places have a step up to the balls but there was a temporary ramp that I could see. I might be able to walk the short distance to there but I couldn't pick up an enormous heavy ball with my only good hand so I need to be sitting down

Half Time

Half time and "we" are winning the rugby - 6 nations

Full time and we got the tournament and a Grand Slam

TimMY

So Timmy came round s'morning, washed and creamed my feet, then we went off to Boots and bought some new eye-patches then we went into that McDonald's place where he bought me a strawberry milk shake, which was nice but a bit thick

And as I was being paranoid about drinks I looked and it was vegetarian

Guitar

And I tuned my geetar and was playing it tonight. Yes, I am still sh*t at it but a lot less sh*t than last time

Mouse Mat

And today during a discussion about using my right hand to work my 'puter someone said "You need a mouse mat that holds it up", someone else said "Look in the bottom drawer" so I now have a new mousemat sitting on the RHS of my keyboard which I use some of the time

#29

And after such a hectic day that Freya came to see me, she seemed cheerful although I was too knackered to speak to her much

What a day #28

After lunch Sarah came back (I said "Perfect strangers, I haven't seen you for ages") and the chap from The Chair Manufacturers came round and demonstrated his less wheelchair but adaptable assistant seat which I am really impressed with. So I have asked someone to buy one for me (noisy link), when they have found the £2,500 they will do.
