Pubbing

And we tried the pub again tonight. There were actually half a dozen residents in the eating bit and 1 resident sat around the corner in the pub bit that I went into. His name is Steve (IIRC!) and he lives at number 12.

He is my neighbour and he was friendly

Food Shopping

Then today we bought ourselves a roast dinner* to make tomorrow night as Timmy was having one of my pizzas tonight.

* Nut roast, loadsa chopped up veg to boil, potato roasted with cheese, just put 'em in the oven

Can

Then Timmy bought himself a can of refreshment in town. It looks like a normal can but at the top is a closable lid. It seems strange, every other can I have ever seen has a ring pull but this one is much more considerate

Shopping

So me and Timmy went to town s'morning. First of all we nipped into Argos and picked up a coffee table that we had ordered, then we went boot/trainer shopping. We actually found some boots that I wanna keep in the second shop but trainers for gym were harder, I can't get wide enough ones to fit over my splint

Dinner

And tonight we decided to try out my new wok and had a stir fried veg with noodle for tea, and it was quick and easy to cook, not very dear to buy the ingredients and absolutely delicious, like food I used to enjoy before my ABI, that nice

Walking

And we came back from 'pool today, i was only be indoors long enough to nap so I left my 'chair in't boot of the car

Toast

So because I ran out of Muesli a day before I buy some more this week I had to have toast for breakfast. A) It's very hard to butter now, and B) It's just not very tasty any more. I used to like it but now.....

Bath

And I had another bath tonight. Few nights ago it felt really special and took ages but now it seems to becoming part of my routine again. Tonight I was in a bit of a rush, I thought "Shall I just wash my pits and bits" but then it occurred to me that having a bath wouldn't any longer and I still have to do the "Drying my bottom" which is a struggle. So tonight a quick bath, I still washed my bits and pits and relaxed in my grubby water for a minute

Tonight

And I was sitting outside reading my Kindle earlier when a family walked their dog past.

They all said hello :)

Gymming

And I am going to Gym later for the first time since I rejoined the real world...

And it went well, if as much fun as ever. I am so much better at many exercises than many other students, I was the only person there today who has not suffered a stroke. I said to a MOS that I thought of reducing my hours to one session a week but she said "No, one session will be enough to keep you as fit as you are now but as you are improving I should keep that up"

No Wheelchair

So last night after we dropped off Freya we came back here for ¾ of an hour before going Folking. We pulled up outside, I walked from the car into here, left my wheelchair in the car. OK it was only for 45 minutes but still progress, we left my wheelchair in the boot

And today my wheelchair was used at breakfast and ever since then it has been sitting by itself in t'other room and I am walking, pushing my relatively stationary chair

And I got into my 'chair to make lunch then abandoned it again...

And it was after half past three before I readopted it today...

Clubbing

And tonight was the emptiest folk club I have ever seen, finished early as it was empty

(sigh)

Then I thought we would be straight off to folk club with no time for a bath but after we dropped Freya off we had an hour spare, so guess whay I did?

Ex

Then Freya came round to see me, as she is away on Friday when she usually comes and off school today. Her Mum brought her down and came in to admire my house and it was generally just fine. I am coming to terms with not being her chap any more. It has been years but I was unaware for the first ages

Edding - quiet day

So we don't have much to do today, later, when Dicky comes in, we will go to the doctors to a) show him where it is and b) order a repeat 'script for cream for my feet, then show him the dentist

Later today Freya is coming in for tea, as she will be away on Friday, then we will take her and Moishe's daughter to guides

Gymless

And I missed gym today 'cos Denyse came to see me..... oh woe is me.....

Then later today I stood up from bed and walked out of the room, it felt so much more normal that I rather liked it

What a day again, so Denyse stayed here talking about my life etc, then giving Dicky a Working With Brain Injured folk lesson until after we had fetched Toby and Paul cooked a rather nice baked pasta with loadsa cheese and chilli dish for dinner, as me and cooking are in different places

This afternoon, in our discussion Denyse said that they will look into a perching stool for me to use in the kitchen, again losing my wheelchair

And "they" have said that I should have broadband again by the 16th or 18th of this month, hoo-flipping-ray but I want to scream at the delay....

Out&About

So we went out to a Folk Club in Burry Port tonight and it was excelent, esp a group af chaps playing with 1 guitar, one violin and one whistle

And earlier when Timmy was putting cream on my legs he said how much smaller my left foot looks ATM

Bathing Again

And I had an earlyish bath today as we are going out after tea. Good lord, thats the third bath in 3 days

'Mail Crisis

And s'morning I turned my 'puter on, collected email, and for my main account it said "Nah, wrong password". It worked yesterday...... So I went on to BtYahoo and changed my password and it still wouldn't work. In an email they sent to me it said "It might take time, try again in a bit". So I went in t'other room for a bit. Came back and it still wouldn't work. Greeted Timmy, made him a brew tried again and it finally worked

What A Night

So last night I got drunk, Ed nipped to bed, I got more drunk then tried to go to bed. Except I couldn't find the lightswitch to my room. So I sat in the living room for a bit, feeling grumpier and grumpier, until I gave up and found my way in in the dark and went to bed
