Wow

Then in the afternoon/evening one of my oldest friends turned up, Zoe who was wonderful and is just as beautiful as when I saw her before my accident

Lunch

And today for lunch I toasted sum bread and sliced some cheese while it was toasting, then put 1 layer between 2 bits of toast. YUM it was delicious and it didn't prove as difficult slicing thin pieces of cheese as I had expected

So was it nicer than cheese on toast?

2nd time in as many days

Then later on today that Freya came to see me again. I txted her earlier and said "What's going on?" she replied "Dunno" but I felt I couldn't tell my daughter "But I saw u yesterday" so we actually had quite a pleasant time

Cripples Race

And I am watching the Paralympics again on telly today, and it is so impressive. People who have beaten this 'u r a cripple' thing and are doing their own thing

Dunno whether to laugh or cry

Still watching it, just.....

"Ability not disability"

Biker

And I heard this "BRUM, BRUM" s'morning and looked out the window. There was someone on a 'bike pulling up outside. I thought "Who's this?" but it was someone looking for number 52

Boogie

And we went out to Iechyd Da for a monthly folk night, met Freya there, and it was good.

2 monthly nights in a row but it was good

Thursday

"And no Neil, it is not Saturday today, it's just Thursday"

Dunno why I feel it's weekend...

Zoe

And while at Tesco's with Dicky I passed some txt's with Zoe, one of my best friends about 12 years ago, I haven't seen her since my accident but she is gonna drive down and meet me in Morrison's Café on Saturday afternoon. Her chap, who was also one of my best mates died when I was way too ill even to go to his funeral, so it is gonna be a bit strange, but exciting seeing Zoe again

A Good Time

So when we arrived at The Parrot for the first of their new come-all-ye's there was only us, Clive and 2 other folk, but as night went on it became well busier, so I think I am looking forward to next months already

Banker

So this morning first of all I asked Timmy to check my car tax and it is ending June, oops. Someone is sorting it out now but be careful

Then we went into LloydsTSB and tried to sort out my accounts, we opened another current account and closed my 2 spare savings accounts. Hopefully the bank cards for the new account will arrive here in a couple of days

Because we said "Have you received my new deputy order yet?", they said "No" but basically they took the deputy off my account as I am obviously in charge of my own cash, so I will receive the new cards here

Dat Boy

Then this afternoon a handsome young chap came to visit me. He has got to get up and go to college tomorrow so I hope it will go well

Nearly Hit The Ground

And in gym today we were standing up to practice just before we left, I stood up and toppled forwards. Luckily I could move my left foot forwards and my left hand with my 'stick quickly so I was able to catch myself, stop me hitting the ground.

My bum hasn't been right since, I nearly shat myself there and then

Gymmy with Timmy

So in a bit me and Tim are going to gym. I think today I will walk, with stick, from the car in the car park, into gym, show my card to get in then walk to gym. Timmy will need to follow me pushing my 'chair just in case...

I will let u know if I succeed

:) Didn't I do well :)

Telly

And there being very little Ixion today I am watching some telly. And it is pointless, sh*t

Pasta

And again I made a pasta and stir fry and stuff for dinner. The packet of stuff that I used said "serves one" on it but you were just supposed to heat it up and pour it over pasta whereas I had made loadsa veg to add.

So it worked and was lovely for the two of us

Veggie Forced?

Food shortages could force world into vegetarianism, warn scientists

AND they will make us read about it, too

Visitor

And Julia's dad, Brian, came to see me s'afternoon which was a bit strange but quite good.

And he brought me 2 of these

My eye is getting better

Then today while I was eating my lunch I temporarily took the eye patch off my right eye. Looking out the window while eating I can say it is definitely getting better, much less between my eyes, the vision looked a lot more normal. Still obviously not normal but a lot better

More reasons to shop at...

So me and Ed went to Morrison's and did a small shop, I think this once a week is too much so I will try twice a week now

Holiday

So it's a Bank(er) Holiday today but some of us don't get holidays, I have got no holidays, each and every day I have to work at flipping getting better.
