Freya

And Freya made it into the shop where we were shopping today and came back to mine afterwards. She really liked the Falafel but did not even eat the garlic potatoes which were much better cooked than yesterday. That was a bit disappointing, I wasn't overly impressed with them but did like them.

Afterwards we discussed attendance as from next week Freya will be attending Rangers every Friday and won't be able to come so we rearranged her visit to a Wednesday

Oh Dear

And as the summer holidays are over we better nip to the swimming pool.

Hoo-flippin'-ray

I AM GETTING BETTER
Just good lord, in the swimming pool stretching my legs upward, doing the breast stroke with both hands etc. In the couple of months since I have been there and I am so much better already

And as I was walking up and down the swimming pool I was able to concentrate a bit less on lifting my knee and walking properly with my right foot. I think I am beginning to learn properly how to walk, it is more automatic than last week

Duh

So last night I switched off my 'puter and nipped bedwards. On the was I switched on the laptop but it couldn't find my music files which are stored on this PC. It took me checking and showing Dicky that it is working again s'morning (which isn't what I was trying to show him) that it began to dawn on me.

Autoshutdown in an hours time, instead of switching off now is what I should have dun last night

Wow

Suzie Cater posted a video which actually brought tears to my eyes, but on reflection there is no point me being jealous, my f*c*ing eyesight doesn't work well enough

Ybot Again

And we took the rest of Toby's washing to him tonight and he was going straight out to meet a gurly, so god knows etc

Gymming

And me and Dicky went to gym.

Again, it seems to be habitual now, I walked from the car into gym.

Again I was too knackered to do much proper exercise afterwards but it is getting/making me better

Cooking

And Dicky suggested that if the cooking goes well today one day next week we will make some garlic mushrooms to have with a french bread which, if it comes off, I think will be an addition to "Neil's easy dishes"

Well tonight's dish wasn't cooked properly, but lovely anyway, so hopefully it will be even more delicious when reheated and cooked a bit more tomorrow

RHS

And after lunch I filled my kettle back up to boil it tonight and the whole way thru I held the kettle in my right hand

Shop

And so me and Dicky went shopping, I bought some spuds, some double cream, some cheese etc which Dicky is gonna help me turn into Garlic Potatoes tonight, and there will be enuf left over that we can have it tomorrow when Freya comes to dinner too, with the Falafel mix that Freya reminded me to buy this week too. So yum yum in anticipation.

I had to buy some stir fry veg for the weekend too

Ybot again

And tonight I had to pick up Toby, do a load of his washing then drop him back. Hmmm, I feel a bit used but what choice does he have?

Sarah Jones

And we had a really important visit from Sarah the Occupational Therapist today as she wanted to finish off my views as she is putting together a big report for the court on how I am doing. She seemed really positive and gave me sum feedback on how well I am doing at this being in the real world

And she suggested I look into holidays abroad, perhaps starting with France or Spain then being more adventurous when I know I can cope...

Computer Genii

And this morning I was looking online for devices to listen to music from my PC in my bedroom, but they were very expensive and I didn't buy any. I mentioned it to Timmy and he said "You have a laptop in your bedroom, why can't it be in the sharing group?". Much fiddling about etc and now the laptop speakers can play any MP3 file on my PC in there, through it's own speakers.

Next query, after a bit of looking I found AUTO SHUTDOWN on my PC so I can set it to go to sleep a couple of hours after I have gone to bed, listening to the music, or read out books from my PC

Oh he is so clever this Timmy chap, it was all his fault that I sorted stuff out today

Organic

"Indeed, even the Soil Association's own president, Monty Don, acknowledged as much when he took on the role in 2008: 'I would much rather someone bought food that was local and sustainable but not organic than bought organic food that had to be shipped across the world'"

Interweb Stopped

Just at bedtime last suddenly the www started playing trix on me. www.hippyweb.me.uk would load but from that, the page called Getting.htm wouldn't load, after many trials, different browser etc it still wouldn't and Classic FTP wouldn't work either. So in disgust I switched it off and went to bed. This morning it all worked, phew

Oh Dear

After glancing through a list of files, BI stands for Brain Injury, nothing sexual

QI

I am watching QI on i-Player ATM and it isn't bad

Ybot

And Toby is coming over later for dinner. Today was his second day at college, his first proper day as they had an induction yesterday. Gosh, I hope (and pray) that it went well for him and he is doing summat proper with his life again

And it turns out "later" he has to stay in college 'til 7.30 tonight, so much later he will be here

No, even l8r, dunno they must be talking about more important stuff so he said "C U again"

Big Team

So today I have got Dicky and Paul as my team, and they both wanna come to gym with me. Paul want's to assess me doing various stuff, possibly bicycling etc

Well they both came, were both making noises about how well I was, this week I cycled on a different bicycle which wasn't as comfortable as last weeks but I did it

But for the second time I walked from the car into the gym and then I didn't want to do more exercises as I was knackered

Windy

So I went to loo needing a pooh last night. I got there, farted loads and thought "Oh, gone now" and went back to bed.
Farted LOADS

Chokky

And today I started the bar of chocolate that Freya left here t'other day. Just WOW, it is delicious, she chose an (expensive and) excellent bar for me to buy her
