Booze

And tonight I went to the superdoopermarket and bought a bottle of wine. It has no cork. The bottle I bought t'other night was corked which it seems is rather unusual these days. 10 years ago corks were in every bottle, nowadays they are a bit unfashionable

Dinner

So for dinner tonight I made stir fry veg and a Morrison's curry soz. It said on the jar cook chicken then add this but I cooked veg then added it. And it was really nice, delicious. It took about 5 mins to cook, then half an hour on the cooker, yum

AND tonight I tried some of my olive oil with chilli's in. I tasted it, thought "Can't taste owt" but I think the curry was significantly hotter than it would have been without it

Rudeness

And today as I was bored I changed the link you get if you click on "rude" on my 'site

Exercises

So today I had the first of my sheetful of exercises given to me yesterday by Physio but it wasn't too bad.

It felt a bit odd exercising my right arm as it was by far the worst injured but I did what she told me

More Slimming

Then today I had my first toast with slimming marge instead of butter.

It was actually OK, the marge is not so bad and I could put it on a lot thinner, so.....

Woe Is Me

So last night I thought "Oh g*d, better go swimming in t'morning", arranged my bags full of more clothes, towels etc s'morning, changed my pants for swimming trunx to make it easier there, then the phone rang. Oh, no swimming today as I have gotta do other stuff

Hooray but I have just spent ages getting ready, then nearly as long getting un-ready

But as last night "they" said s'morning swimming b4 lunch I thought "OK, no shower tonight as in an hour I will be in't pool in't morning..." so I will have to have a shower just after lunch today

The Young Ones

For some reason I searched for an episode called Bambi, watched it and it is relatively amusing, still

More Fun

Then all my staff were in the kitchen for a meeting but lord, I had to make my excuse and leave

Afterwards I spoke to Denyse and asked her about the reports that were written about me way back when. She has not 1, not 2, but 3 lever arch files full of the paperwork from back then. We sorted out that it is the neuropsychologists report I wanna see and will see it in a fortnight when Denyse comes back

What Fun

So no gym today (hooray) because a) the physio lady is coming to see me to talk about extra balance exercises etc, then b) there is gonna be a team meeting here to discuss my immediate future etc, so not really hoorayish but still, gymless

Good lord, she brought loads more exercise sheets for me and tried most of 'em. Which was wearing but I could tell how surprised she was that I am so well

And we did loadsa walking upright with my staff gripping my right arm and keeping me walking properly straight. You must do it and learn

Normal Poohing Once More

So back to normal (after breakfast) poohing again today.

So phew

(sent from my phone)

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

(sent from my phone)

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

(sent from my phone)

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....
