Dinner

And for dinner I made mushrooms stuffed with soft cheese, (from a packet) small filled with butter jacket potatoes (also from a packet) and frozen carrots and swede which was nice

Table or .div #2

D'uh, I was looking thru my templates for summat else and found an example of "table" so I was able to fix it/make it look better

What fun

So today we went to BikeAbility in Haverfordwest, for the first time, to do this weeks cycling fun. They didn't have as many bikes as they usually do but it was fun anyway. For the first while we were going on a handle pedal machine then we got a sitting side by side tandem. Flipping knackered now tho...

(sent from my phone)

And the hand pedalling should make my right arm stronger, it was nearly able to reach all the time...

Spent too much

And s'morning I went to Morrison's and spent far too much cash on food etc

Table or .div

I got stuck in looking at how to keep 3 pictures in a row and write beneath each one. So I could sort out one of my pages, but just no, way too complex. I either need to write a table or else do a .div neither of which I have any experience of and it all looks far too complicated for my poorly memory to come to terms with.

Can someone suggest a "Help me" page

What a day #2

Then the hot water stopped coming out of the taps. The boiler was still on, the radiators were still hot but no hat water. So I tried hot tap again, it ran for about 30 seconds then stopped. So in the bathroom instead of a bath I filled a basin full of water and washed in that.

We phoned landlord and he said "I am in Carmarthen, see u in a bit", came round, did some adjustments which matched the ones we had tried but the hot water is back now.

The magic touch, I think (noisy link)

What a day #1

So today I managed to watch half a motorcycle race, I sort of enjoyed it, it didn't upset me as much as it did last time I watched

Splintless Day

And it only occurred to me when I started getting ready for bed, my splint is still sitting on my bed side table where I set it last night. All day has been in wheelychair mode, no walking at all

Peeing

Reading my book about BI it did say that incontinence/partial continence is a usual outcome of BI. Reading that reminds me that my pissing is nearly "normal" once more, eventua-flipping-ly

Weighting

Then I was doing exercises with my weights. Good lord, a 2 kg weight I can lift and do various exercises with my left arm and not even lift it up 'til my arm is straight out with my right arm. It's not even a heavy weight

Pepper from my Trug

Then for dinner tonight we had pasta, a fried pepper that I had grown on my Trug and Lloyd Grossman's sauce which was delicious but it felt a bit like cheating as I opened a jar and heated it up, QED, no actual cooking

Dimmer Switch

And my dimmer bulbs arrived s'morning. But they wouldn't fit in the lamp by my bed. I thought we'd better go lamp shopping but Ed proved to be very useful and swapped that lamp for one in the other room and the new dimmers fitted, it was well cool.

THEN I got in a tiz trying to take a set of pics of the brighter bulbs. If my camera was set to auto every picture looked the same so I had to d/l a manual for my camera and read that. In the end I couldn't manage, but a shout of "Ed" brought a very clever chap running and together we were able to take a series of pics with a discernible difference visible between one and the next.

Then he had to give me some velcro bits to let me stick the brightness control by my bed

The Dr

Well tonight I watched 2 episodes of Doctor Who on that BBC on that BBC iPlayer tool and I did rather enjoy 'em both

Waverley

And we went to Waverley Stores s'afternoon and got veg, milk, juice etc

There one of the members of staff was most scathing about another menmber of staff who had tried to retell one of my jokes last week and had been laughing so hard she had got it wrong

Swimming

And we went swimming today. Oh what fun. But this time I was brave enough to not wear a t-shirt and no-one pointed and laughed. No-one.

While we were there we spoke to the lifeguard and he agreed to rescue me, if necessary, next week after I have jumped in, and suggested about a safety device I can borrow/use on my way in

Wrong

Apparently my diary is wrong, Sara the Physio isn't coming today. So there will be time to go swimming before the toenail cutter comes

More Fun

And we are going out to the "eat your dinner here" folk club in Carmarthen soon. 2 local Folk Clubs, both on once a month, one night after one night

And wasn't it excellent. We got Freya from school at about a quarter to six (1), took her there a bit later and everyone was excellent

(1) Brought her back here to eat mince pies first

Gym

And after lunch it was time for Gym. As usual I was a bit grumpy because it is still, so difficult to walk. S'pose a year ago I wasn't able to walk without my 'stick so.....

But today I was practicing again at the 1 step upwards tool. A few weeks ago I tried to stand upwards with my right foot. To no avail, I couldn't manage it with my right leg. However today I could do it with both feet, whichever one I chose. So I am getting better even tho it fills me with such joy being there

M&S

So me and Dicky went to Marksies s'morning and bought some more Fat Persons jogging bottoms. I said "Jogging isn't my style, can I have them for free?" but they refused

(sent from my phone)u

Off Out

So tonight I am venturing out to a monthly folk night in Blue Parrot, Carmarthen

And it was as excellent as to be expected. But someone had tidied up the recipes for the "cochtails" so I made do with a pint of rather nice scrumpy cider. Or 2 or 3
