Wow

So I am sitting in a restaurant with Toby because I was s'posed to be cooking for him but my head exploded. Why? Denyse came to see me s'afternoon and said "We have got funds, you are moving". The first person ever to leave that place

Just good lord I don't know what to say, other than Hoo-(f**king)-rah!!

Gosh, just OMG - I am moving

OhMyFlippin'God

So TimMY came round s'afternoon and chatted for a bit then we went online and booked my trip to Manchester for Sam's graduation

Nobody

And then s'morning I woke up at about 7, thought I lay there for about 10 minutes and looked at the clock again and it said 10 past 9!!! So obviously I was asleep without realising it

And s'morning I am looking out my window, waiting in the hall etc for my MOS but they are not coming, they are having a scary meeting about me s'morning and then coming later

Still not here...

Dinner THEN Folky

So then we went and got Freya from her house at 5 o'clock. First of all we nipped to a restaurant it was closed, went somewhere else and sat outside it for 15 minutes as it said "Opening in 10" then eventually we went to a third place and had a delicious veggie dinner each.

After that we drove not far to a Folk Club where Freya won the prize of tonight's CD, and generally we all had a good time

Arrangements

And I had made arrangements to pick Freya up from school at 5.15 today after her revision lesson but she just txted me to say "Did I tell you they are not happening today?" so after a few more txts we decided to pick her up from her house at 5

Ed-ington

So Ed is back here again today although Paul is taking us (me and Freya) out tonight to give him a rest

'Tween Pics

And I was looking for my reference about how to link to a lower picture and couldn't find it. Looked on that Interweb and confused myself even more trying to put the wrong command in.

Eventu-(f**king)-ly I found my example of how to do it and it finally worked

SoS

Wow. What a weekend I have had, at SoS 2112. We went up on Friday and were one of the first to arrive. On Friday I mat a chap who said "Hello Neil, I never met you before your accident but I can't tell you how much better you seem now than 3 years ago when I fifest met you at an Ixion do" so I don't really know what to say to that.

On Saturday Gordon had to bring in a very grubby bike because he had just fallen off, but he was unhurt. I am struggling with how he crashed and got up and picked his bike up and I am so ill

Also on Saturday we came back to the hotel for lunch, she said "Sorry no chef" and we went and had a nice lunch elsewhere. The same night she said that 5 minutes after we left the chef came in and she tried to phone us but there is almost no mobile coverage there

And someone also was wearing a T-shirt that said "Rock'n'roll with MS". I thought what and asked him, he said it was his band and a friend of theirs had a child who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis so it was to raise cash for them

For the whole weekend I was torn between thinking "Compared with my life 10 years ago I am f*cked" and "Compared with my life 9 years ago I am so much better"

And the local brewery supplied beer there

And a local festival was publicised everywhere

And I was so impressed with marvin's t-shirt that I went to the supplier he told me he got it from and bought one for me

Lord

i am being tokd off for having negative thoughts so.....

"Isn't it a nice day, here I am in a beautiful place with a good crowd of folk..."

What a day

First I packed my bags for SOS then Sara the physio came in and really hurt me to make my arm better

Dr Richard

Then came down the chap who was here for a number of hours, recording and videoing me talking. His name was Dr Richard Body, speech & language therapist and he is on my side putting my claim together. He did say some interesting stuff and gave me an example from his tape device of how I need to speak slowly and louder and clearer (which I was capable of doing, unlike some of his patients) in order to make my voice more understandable

So practising now, every time I speak

Ybot

Then we had to take that Toby chap and buy him some food, as they had cut off his dole without telling him so he had to reapply s'morning. Now he is a proper doley, sign on every fortnight and get hassle off the staff etc

Drs

So Paul came round s'morning and he soon took me to the Doctors for a follow up appointment on my swollen left leg. He said it is still slightly swollen but nowt to worry about. He said that I should try resting my leg on a cushion when I am in bed

S'evening

And we went to the first folk club that I have been to this week later and it was excellent

S'afternoon

Then I was put off by Sarah OT not coming today, her kids are off school today, apparently.

I have been lost in Harry Potter world since and Timmy is now cleaning

Wiv Timmy

Then Timmy came in s'morning. A bit later I ruined the world by getting in my car and being driven to (More Reasons To Shop At) Morrison's to buy £2.00 worth of Blueberries

Ybot

Then that Toby came round. As I had felt unsettled this week and didn't have a "learn to cook this" organised for him we just went out and I bought us dinner

Gym-miny

Then s'morning me and Paul went to the gym which was as much fun as always but I am still getting better. Afterwards we stopped and had lunch there.

And for the first time yes, I was walking a long way but Paul had to catch me when I tripped over a chair-leg

Later today we have arranged to take that Toby chap out for his dinner too, so I will only have eaten breakfast here today

(And it's a reference to a Mary Poppins song - this Gym-miny thing)

Burry Port

And then tonight we are going out to Burry Port Folk Club

Oh. But then Ed told me he had just been sick so he had to go home. No Folk Club tonight then

Anti-virus

They we spent all afternoon running a new version of Norton Antivirus scanning my PC. Good lord but it is effective but it has taken 2 hours so far and there is still the 3rd hard drive to do

And we are still waiting for it to finish

And it is still going. Today's lesson is OVERNIGHT
