Now Wednesday Visitor

And Freya came over for the first of her new Wednesday visits. I was a bit bored, what should we do together?

But she won't be able to nick my chocolate in Waverley Stores any more. I have reduced to one treat per week, a bar of Green&Blacks from there

STILL No additions

And I walked on my own two feet to bed s'afternoon, again.

And I was able to leave my 'chair half a room away whereas yesterday I left it at the door to the hall

And I took my wheelchair to bed, in case I need it in the night and didn't sit on it at all in the night. So p'raps I will have to try walking to bed in the night too tonight

Weirdo McPhone-call

So I had just finished my lunch today. My BT landline phone rang so I went out of the room and answered it. "Hello, is that Mr Gareth Williams?" he said, "No" I replied.

"Why not" he asked me

Had I thought about it I should have said "Because I am a burglar" or summat but I was too surprised

Voluntary Working

So today we will drive off to Carmel and if necessary take photos of broken bits

And it almost all looked perfect except for 1 gate, someone had nicked it, removed a whole farm gate

Early To Poo

So I woke up s'morning. Most mornings I have my breakfast THEN a poo, but today I felt it was more urgent so today I needed a poo first.

Shock horror etc

He Cooked

And that Toby came down and cooked for tea tonight. OK, it was relatively easy cooking but he made an excellent job of it.

I bought, he cooked

No additions

And I have just gone to bed on just my own two feet. Wheelchair = no, and walkystick = NO too. All by myself

Oh What A Beautiful Morning

Well What A Morning anyway.

So first of all me and Timmy went into Wilkinson's and bought a full length mirror, well a fuller length one. Sarah the Physio is coming here Thursday morning and she will make use of it

THEN we went to gym, where once again I walked in from the car park. Once again I was too knackered to do much exercises but not as knackered as last week, so obviously summat is improving

And I took the opportunity of being in Wilkinson's to purchase another 2 reuseable shopping bags which cost me the grand total of 90 pence

I Can Walk

Yes. Yes. Yes. I can walk without my walky stick!!!!! I have just walked from in front of my PC, across the living room, down the hall, across the bathroom, and back without my 'stick and without holding on to anything I was passing.

For ages I have been too scared to try walking halfway across the room with no 'stick but I just managed.

I CAN WALK

But not too far
So even after doing my walk earlier tonight I am attached to wheelchairing...

Headwaying

After I bumped into someone from Headway a few weeks ago I s'pose I'd better try and show some interest so I will be there tonight

And it was as interesting as was expected but a couple af members said "Well done Neil" as I am showing people how f*cked they can be then get better....

Pizza

And we had another pizza made from naan bread for dinner with oven chips and I had to use my new pizza cutter that we found t'other morning and it was quick and easy. None of this back and forward cutting, just line it up, press it forward and ur pizza is sliced

(Pics of) Eating with my right hand

And today it occurred to me that I haven't used my right handed spoon for ages, so I gave it a go today. Now it doesn't look as "proper" as my left hand does but the more I use it the better. Now I thought, when I was eating breakfast, that I should use the timer on my camera to take a pic. In the first one I had no head

and in the second one when I leaned my camera on a coaster I only had half a head

so I had to use 2 coasters piled up to take the proper looking final photo

Shop, shop, shopping

And Timmy said "Do you need to go to Morrison's today, as I need...." so "No, but yes". So today I will buy the ingredients to Freya's tortilla's and some other "extra" stuff, then tomorrow I will get some salad and my usual weeks shopping

OK, we got everything on my list apart from salad, I think my and Timmy make a good team shopping

Walking

So me and Ed were in my living room s'morning. I said "I can't walk the 6 steps to my other chair as I have no splint on, where's my walky stick", he said "Go for it" and moved into a position where he could catch me if needed. I managed to walk properly, upright, lifting my right foot etc so I can walk further than my confidence suggests, I AM GETTING SO MUCH BETTER SO QUICKLY that I can't keep up

Gone Now

And my brief visitor has left s'morning and gone back to Belfast

Dinner

And I had to make dinner tonight. We had enough stir fry veg, noodles and cooking sauce for 2 people but randomly on my veg shelf there were 3 spuds left over from cooking on Thursday so I switched t'oven on and baked them. So all 3 of us had a baked potato and some stir fry

Fatter

Ho hum, I am 1.75 lbs heavier than last week.
