Garlicy

And for dinner tonight I had naan bread pizza with garlic and herb roast potatoes


Now the garlic potatoes, at the start of the meal I wasn't sure that I could taste the garlic but by the end I was sure that I could. I dunno why, perhaps my tongue is getting used to garlic again or perhaps my mind is being told that this is extra delicious because... and it is starting to sink in. Gord knows but it was delicious for me anyway

Walkies

And I practised walking indoors today. Practising keeping my posture straight, I was assisted (held up) by Dicky but it is getting easier every time I do it

More Coffee Machines

So my new Cafetiere wasn't pleasing me slightly as the lid wasn't sitting on it properly so we nipped out to Tesco's and spent £8 on a new one with a different lid arrangement

Shaving

So I shaved s'morning. So "up" on my chin, then "down" as recommended by a MOS last week then sideways to trim off the last bits and my chin feels better shaved than it has for years, either blade or electric

Strange Film

So Dicky brought in 2 DVD's today, one of them is stuck in the telly DVD player, won't play or eject, but I was eventually(1) able to watch "Wall-e" on my PC. it was strange but rather good

(1) After downloading a new "Watch DVD"s program

Standing On Toes

Then today as recommended by Sara t'other day I lifted myself onto my toes and my heels 10 times

Ybot

Then we took that Toby chap out for a birthday meal as he is just 18 now. So we had a pie and a pint (or 3) and it was lovely.
My first born son is a grown up now, how old must I be?

Cafetiere

And when I was making lunch I dropped my cafetiere and broke it, so we nipped into Wilkinson's and got a new one

Drs

Then we went back to the Doctors to say "Where is my reference to an eating specialist that you promised?" and he said "Whoops, I forgot, as soon as I saw u in my list of patients for today I remembered and wrote to them"

Freya

Then I took Freya's school work that she left here yesterday into her school. We parked and I was being pushed towards the school when Freya and Julia showed up in a car.
Freya had been in hospital for a MRI scan which turned out to be OK. She has an inflammation but it will hopefully be better, apparently

Physiology

So Sara the Physio came s'morning and did loads of stepping and walking and balance exercises, including not leaning over when I walk etc which hurt loads but was worth it. I thought I had stopped leaning one way when I walked but she was polishing the cake

Grumpy Busy Girl

Then Freya came round and was way too busy doing her homework to even speak to me, but there you are

Jim Jiminy, Jim Jim Jaroo!

And we went to Gym afterwards and it was scarier than usual, I feel as if my right foot was turning over when I walk but Ed says it looks OK.
In class there were a variety of people who are as ill as I was last year, dunno what to say but if you do work hard you can be weller.
On the exercises routine I was actually able to step up with my right foot first, I couldn't do that last time I tried

More Shopping

So then today me and Paul nipped out shopping, because the blueberries from Morrison's are not as long lasting as the ones from Waverley Stores, who finished their blueberries last week, for the season

Drinking Slowly

And tonight I am actually drinking slowly. Gosh it feels different, recently I have been pouring a glass and necking it in the kitchen. But tonight I am attempting to enjoy the flavour etc
And it did for Matt, I mustn't go down that path

Saundersfoot

Then we went out to Saundersfoot for no apparent reason but it was special and loads boats were parked there

Again

And today I walked to bed for my nap with no walky-stick or wheely-chair. I can and I will, getting better

(sent from my phone)

Glug glug

And I went swimming again today, with Paul and Dicky as they needed to show each other how to take care of me etc. It went well again, walking is so easy underwater, well nearly underwater

Feeder

And when I got back from gym today there was a card thru the door. "We tried to deliver but you weren't here, in post office after 3pm". So we went along and there was the makings of a bird feeder which my brother sent over for me

Gyming

And I went to the gym s'morning. As had been decided last week I got pushed into the building then stood up and walked the rest of the way. With no walky stick today. Apparently I have won on that leaning over to one side thingie. But it is still very hard work, but I managed. So tomorrow it will be a little easier etc
