What An Afternoon

So after lunch we went to Leekes of Cross Hands and nearly bought a table and chairs, then at the last minute we walked over to Happy Home Furnishers which was a bit cheaper and nicer and there we spent far too many pounds on a lovely table and chairs which we then loaded in the back of Paul's van and then came home for my nap, while I had my nap Paul and Dicky (my new MOS) took them to my bungalow. Then we met up with Toby and I said "Too mad, lets go out to eat" so then we went to Frankie and Bennys where I was again sitting down in a proper chair to eat, then we went back to Herbie and made up the table and chairs which looks beautiful through the window on the way out

Standing Up

Then at gym s'morning I was doing my stand up from a chair. Today I tried it, for the first time in 9 years, I tried to stand up from the low down chair, without a cushion. First time I failed, but every time afterwards I succeeded. I could stand up properly. They are called sit to stand

Walkies

So on the way to somewhere else tonight we stopped off at Morison's to buy a packet of oats to make summat with Toby tomorrow. I wheelchaired thru the gates then stood up and walked, to the middle of the shop, turn left and walk 4 aisles, turn right walk to the end. Pick up your goods and return. I got about 1/2 way back and asked for my wheelchair for a sit. Sat still until rested, stood up and walked rest of way to till. My walking is improving

Nooneraft

And this afternoon we hung about, didn't do much. I had a haircut followed by a shower followed by a nap so I was actually drier than usual when I got dressed later.

Really we are filling time now, after dinner we are going out Folk Clubbing again

Expensive Shoppping

Lordy that was an expensive shopping trip. Not only did I need my usual items I also needed toothbrush heads, tooth paste, floss and washing powder

Work?

What a day... my head is full of bits about moving etc and Toby and Freya met up with me earlier for lunch (and to give me presents) but my heart was elsewhere

(phone)

Father's Day

So Ed came in and did my feet s'morning, later Toby and Freya are coming over to wish me happy fathers day and let me buy them a lunch

And it was lovely, me, Toby and Freya sitting at a table together, (no wheelchair involved) and Ed was sitting across the way by himself, it was excellent. I was a bit nervous being out with both of them but it was fine. They were interesting companions and didn't row. Much!!

Bed Making

After my feet me and Ed went over to my new bungalow and put together the single bed, for the staff room. Gosh there were only 8 little bolts screwed into the corners but it seems really solid.

After lunch we will head back and do the double spare bed

Which we did, good lord but it is starting to look like a home!!

Lordy, lordy, lordy

What a manic day it has been.

First of all Paul came round and did my feet, then we experimented with some strange steps up to the van to enable me to get in, then we went and bought some beds (and unrolled the mattresses) then nipped home for some lunch. After lunch we went back out this time to Curries which Paul had phoned s'morning and said "Don't deliver Wednesday, we will pick 'em up today". First of all we contacted that Toby chap and said "Can we have a lift", picked him up on the way then delivered my fridge, fridge freezer and washer/drier

Then I met Freya but she didn't have time to come to mine as the Girl Guides were going out somewhere so we had to go to that McDonald's for dinner then drop her off very soon

Lordy

Good lord, what a strange day it has been. S'morning I got my phone back, then went to gyn, and ever since I have been trying to relearn my phone. It is so different than before (eg sending blog posts by email now) but currently I have relearned 50-60% of it

New method

So does this work, sending an email from my mob?

Sent from my Nokia phone

And it did work, so I can fill in Blogging if I am out and about. :)

Gymming

Then we went to gym. We couldn't get upstairs because the lift was broken so we, in the end, had 3/4 of a session in the squash court. What fun it was again.

Afterwards we nipped over to check out the width of summat at my new bungalow

Phone

So first thing s'morning I received a txt then a phone call saying that my phone is back so (HOORAY) but I am getting used to all the updates etc. But it was fixed for free

Because I pay monthly insurance

What Fun

So then I had a good time at Folky Clubby. Initially there was only "us" there but as the night went on it got better

Out&About

Then this afternoon we had to go to Curry's and say "Don't deliver Wednesday as no support will be given" can u come after 10AM (We told 'em why) on Tuesday.

Then we went to Dream's and checked out the beds that hopefully we will be buying from there next Tuesday.

Then we nipped into Morrison's and bought more salad and blueberries
