O&A

So we went out and about had one pint in The Drovers in Carmarthen, then came home. On the way we talked more and came to The Tafarn Pantydderwen in Llangain and that was a quality place

Caerdydd AGAIN

So we are off to Cardiff again in a bit to the splint makers and he is gonna make me a splint without quite so much "hold still" on my right ankle. And I will ask 'im to leave a smidge more on the back up over my ankle

And we managed it, gosh my foot feels in the wrong position now that the plaster has been cut off

And we will be back in a fortnight to pick up my new "normal" splint and one to use barefoot

My Right Hand

Then when the pasta was cooked I held the collander in my right hand, the saucepan in my left, held it over the sink and was able to pour from one to t'other, using my right hand!!!!

Strange Mind

So today I was trying to remember the radio stations I used to listen to. I remembered Radio 1 and the other was Radio..... small country. So I asked my driver "What do you call the small country between France and IIRC Spain?". He said Luxembourg and I recalled, "Radio Luxembourg"

How very strange is my mind??

S'afternoon

Has been quiet, Ed trimmed my hair, I had a bath, then a nap, then Ed creamed my legs and put my boots back on then......

FeedMeNow

So s'morning me and Ed nipped to MoreReasonToShopAt.... (noisy-ish link) basically to buy some veg for tonight's dinner (with making pasta sauce) and tomorrow's dinner (I already own the Curry sauce) but also to get more Chilli Ketchup etc etc

And the dinner was lovely tonight, a mild chilli pasta sauce, stir fry veg and some pasta

I finally figured it out

And for the last 2 days I have, off and on, when sitting at my PC, looking for the reference I found before about how to start watching mid-video. In the end I found it, it was easy to do and made the whole "watching" experience much better. So I have carefully saved a link, in a number of places, so hopefully next time I will just be able to do it

Dinner

So as Ed insisted on driving past m'way services we had scrambled egg on toast for dinner. Break eggs, add a little milk, beat 'em then put in the microwave for a couple of mins, mix it again and put it back in the microwave for a bit longer. Gosh it was easy and very nice, actually cooking in a microwave, not just heating up food

Phew

Well that's done, at least he said that the underlying gum was healthy. Now we need to stop and have dinner somewhere

Banking

Then we tried to nip to the bank. Paul eventually phoned and said "Right, they didn't say owt about the £500 quid minimum when Anthony spoke to them, leave it and drop him a line and we will see"

Lordy Again

So me and Ed went to the gym again. Hoo-flipping-ray I thought again. We did our usual exercises then she said "Lets all go cycling", I started "No....but...." but she said "No, come on" so I went in cycling again. Now today it was strange, if I cycle slowly I was nearly crying as my right ankle complained but if I cycled fast it didn't bleedin' hurt. So I lost more inches today.

Folking

And after we dropped off Toby we didn't come back here but headed off to Llanelli to the Folk Club and it was good

Lordy

So earlier tonight I was greeted by that Toby chap, we watched and talked about the Olympics then after his dinner a txt message landed and he said "C ya" and we did say goodbye

Water

And when I was in't shop s'morning I thought about buying more water. With fruit, so it was either with sugar or evil sweeteners, so no, I bought some much cheaper water with added ingredient carbon dioxide - fizzy

Banking

And we went into HSBC to open another bank account so Anthony can pay me eg petty cash and petrol easier. But they said "Sorry, too many staff off sick today, make an appointment" so we have made an appointment for 1pm tomorrow, between gym and going to Caerdydd to meet up with the dentist about my claim

Landlord

And then the landlord came round, said "I wanna fix your toilet" and walked into the staff room and fixed their loo, not mine at all. But he fixed it. We showed him the awful noise that comes out every time you switch on the "wash hands after looing" tap, he said "Erm...." and was a bit puzzled

Guardian Came Back

So for the last couple of weeks the Guardian has been refusing to add itself to "recently used shortcuts" window when I start my WWW browser, G2 has been there, every other program I use has turned up there but it refused to include The Guardian, dunno why, perhaps for political reasons on whatever. But then today I cleared out all my history so had to redo the list. And The Guardian worked today, for no reason

Shopping

So first of all me and Tim nipped to Morrison's to do loadsa shopping.

Then about an hour after we came back the wheelchair fixer chap came to repair my wheelchair. Having not phoned to check that we were in, like they had arranged

Drying

So for a couple of nights I have used my back scrubber in the bath, it works etc but that means I have gotta dry my back too, I hadn't realised but it was getting no water on it in my old bathing routine
