What an afternoon. First of all I went to gym where it was really strange talking to stroke victims who are a lot less mobile than me about how I used to be a lot less mobile then they are now, but just keep at it. I did and look how well I am now.

Then we nipped to supermarket, bought some blueberries and salad and a pint of milk to leave in my bungalow because we were going there to wait, so we may as well have a brew

THEN the representative of the bath lift supplier was coming out to try one in my bath, rather he was coming to fit one and let me try it. Just good lord, I immediately bought one off him and want to use it

Morning

So s'morning we have creamed my feet, tried to set up a mail redirection service with Royal Mail which refuses to accept my card so a bit stuck. Ed is currently in the garden trying to beat the melted plastic off the rest of my oven

And he has just about finished nearly all the plastic is off, about 98% so not too bad. As I will be leaving here in about a week I am not too bothered

Pi##ing

So here I am sitting in a Folk Club tonight, it is about 10.50 and I haven't had a piss since I left my house hours ago

Oven Crisis

So tonight I switched on't oven and want to bed for ½ on hour to nap. Got up, opened the oven to put food in and UGH. It looks like a small piece of plastic was sitting on the top shelf and had melted and dripped down making a stuck-on mess on all the shelve and a bigger mess of the bottom.

More Purchasing

Then later today we went and tried out a Bath-Lift which seemed really comfortable, but he is bringing it to my new home to try tomorrow afternoon, then we will decide yeah or nay

And we bought a posh armchair too, it raises electrically etc

Meeting

So there is no-one here to look after me s'morning as they are all having a meeting "about me". They will be here after lunch

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

Folking

Dunno what to say, another good evening with a variety of singers/musicians

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

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!!
