Clubbing

And we went to the Folk Club in Jackson's Lane tonight. I went in, had a good time, Freya arrived soon after. I didn't need the loo, from arriving at 7.30 till we left at about midnight, and it is still pale coloured when I do go. I used to have to nip to the loo every 15 minutes

Gymless

And so today I have got a blister on my ankle from....... dunno, from my splint I s'pose. So in order to prevent it getting worse "someone" has decided that I shouldn't go to gym

Exercises
And because I am gymless today the chap came to see me, got out my rubber strips and asked me to do certain stretching exercises

Lawks-a-Lordy

So earlier on today I went to great hassle to post back my 2 Broadband adaptors which were wrong, hopefully I will get a £74.00 refund when they arrive back. THEN, later, I started looking on Ebay. So I managed to get a couple that I hope are right this time for £40, inc postage. Someone else was bidding against me but his last minute bid was still a quid ad a half lower than mine. Fark, it was close but I won :-)

Comtrend Powerline Ethernet Adapter

And lordy, so we were supposed to drive miles to a Folk Club tonight but "we" decided to stay in and try to bid on some Ethernet Adapterm which, hopefully, will make my BT Telly work again

Beans

Then I thought "Lets have egg and chips for diner". Went into the kitchen and had a brainwave. In the cupboard was a tin of beans which I have owned for a very long time. But Egg, Beans and Chips, mmmmmmm

Lordy

Lordy. So s'morning we tried to package my ethernet adaptors. Eventually we wrapped 'em up etc. Eventually we managed. After lunch we set off for the post office.

On the way we stopped cause Denyse was asking me serious questions about "stuff"

Got there, bought a Jiffy Bag, wrote the address on and gave it to "her" to post. Gosh that was expensive, but they said I can have my £72 back when it arrives

Smug

Lordy. So I had a brainwave today, struggled for a bit then managed to send an email from my phone using the btinternet.com bits. So I have been able to unsubscribe the Gmail account from Ixion and I can now send btinternet emails from my phone or my PC

Ybot

Then Toby came over briefly for tea. He was already drunk(1) and had to go off early to meet his friends at the swimming pool

(1) He had a borrowed over 18 card which he borrowed and is trying to not return

'Puter Fiasco

So this afternoon we connected my new "connection tools" to the PC to enable BT telly. It wouldn't work, nor would the interweb. So we put it all back as it was before this £74.00 piece of junk^^^^kit arrived

Script

And before gym we nipped to The Doctors to pick up my asthma medication, but there was none there. They said Boots had taken in to deliver but they hadn't my current address. So we nipped to Boots in Carmarthen and finally got it but by then I was 20 minutes late for gym.

But the rest of the gym session was as effective as ever, I dunno why I need to go there, I am so much better than the rest of the class

Food

And it occurred to me last night that with the stir fry chopped up veg, curry = stir fry veg, tin tomatoes, lentils & curry powder. The chopping up veg andf storing half an onion etc was the reason I haven't been willing to cook so much, but well, now ideas are making me hungry

Beer

So at the Folk Club last night they didn't have any of the shorts I usually drink, so last night I got stuck into pints of beer. After just two I felt as pissed as a rat and I stopped after three. BeforeMyAccident four pints was getting a bit merry before going on to a party, or summat

Quiet Afternoon

I had a quiet nooneraft, a haircut and nowt much else, them we are going out Folk Clubbing tonight.

And it was excellent, when we got there we were the only folk there but about 9.30 it started to get busy etc

Shopping

So we nipped out to Morrison's, then we had to go to that evil T place to get some Organic Muesli. We couldn't find it, asked a member of staff, she couldn't find it, looked again and the end packet was turned sideways, there it was

Strange Poohing

So as is quite common I got up s'morning and went for a pooh before breakfast. I did my pooh, wiped and for some reason I wiped so well today that I didn't need my Andrex Fresh to finish off cleaning me

Together Again

And my parents are still here today. They brought me loadsa stuff for my kitchen when they came today. In a bit we are going out for lunch then to M&S to get more non-elastic socks

Then we went out over lunchtime to my parents hotel where we had a very nice lunch. So I will just have salad for dinner tonight

AND I have finally fixed it so that "my parents" link is pointing here not here. There was a "#" in the wrong place, it wasn't missing but in the wrong place

Well they've gone now. This evening they drive to Cardiff and stay in a hotel by the airport then first thing tomorrow they go back to Belfast.

It was the first time in 9 years where my Mother didn't cry when she was leaving

Leccy

And new bulbs are annoying me a bit tonight. I go into the kitchen and switch on the light to get some supper. As I leave the kitchen my hand wobbles over the light switch but I know that with these modern lo energy bulbs you mustn't switch it off then on again within 15 minutes, by which time I will have eaten my supper and want to put the plate away in the kitchen

ANOTHER "What A Day!"

So first of all s'morning we went into M&S and bought some "non-elastic" easy grip socks and just WOW for how it feels on my leg, much better, no rashy squeezed bit.

THEN we nipped over to the furniture shops at Cross Hands. In one shop they told me that the chair we ordered 3 weeks ago should actually be delivered on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. In another furniture shop nearby my parents bought me some furniture for the spare room, next to the bed. My mother is already referring to it as "her room".

Then we went off and bought a stir fry and different pasta which I actually prefered this time. Luckily Freya got better enuf to get a lift over hear today, so she cooked the stir fry and there would have been much too much it we didn't have an extra mouth to feed.

Visitors

Then afterwards my parents arrived in town, we picked 'em up at their hotel and brought them first back here. Triple good lordy, they have been so worried about me for so long and now I am living in a beautiful bungalow in the real world. Then we went out to Pizza Express in Carmarthen and it was nice, and they had to pay

Walkies

So I got up s'morning, didn't sit in my wheelchair but walked out, across the hall, into the kitchen and made my (posh) coffee and my breakfast standing up. Then walked the VERY LONG way to the table, sat in a proper chair and am exhaustedly nibbling breakfast there now
