Power Cut

And I was sitting at my PC about 7 o'clock when suddenly the lights went off, the streetlights outside went dark, the music stopped, the PC died. So I fumbled about in the drawer, found my torch when suddenly the power came back

Shopping

Then me and Ed popped to the shop, we bought more salad and 2 lots of stir fry veg and 2 lots of cook in sauce, 1 curry (again) and 1 to eat with pasta. Because I was crying "But I want oven chips too" I also bought tomorrow night's dinner, onion bhajis and some other foreign eat hot or cold food to have with OCs

And we (me and Ed) are off to the gym (noisy video) in a bit, hope it's more exciting than usual...... OK, it is doing me loads of good but it isn't very much fun

And it was as much fun as usual but I did what asked, and I was able to cycle for 10 mins today, it wasn't as busy

Proper Wine

And tonight I am on the proper wine and while delicious it seems to head down my throat a lot slower than that weak stuff I had last week

Feed Me

So me and Tim nipped into the super(dooper)market this afternoon and bought 2 cooking sauces and stir fry veg and various bits so I will be able to actually cook from scratch 2 meals, for about a fiver. It would have cost a bit more if I had to buy rice etc but I already have that.

So tonight we are having curry and tomorrow chilli

And wasn't tonight's curry delicious, it was "extra hot" vindaloo which made me smile, just right

But the second night without oven chips, I am beginning to get withdrawls

Wine

And tonight I had 4 glasses and finished the box of really weak wine that I had. I opened the "proper" wine then and got more pissed feeling off 1 glass

Shop

On the way back from Gym we called into Morrison's so Ed could buy some lunch and while we were there I asked Ed what other ingredients they sold there that could turn a stir fry into a meal, not just a "Stir Fry". And they have loadsa goods on Aisle 1 to turn it into curry or pasta sauce. We didn't buy any today but I think tomorrow I will take SlimTimmy and have an explore. Buy a couple of ingredients and a couple of stir fries which have a best b4 of 3 or 4 days usually

It sounds like I am being mean and not cooking for Ed but we had a delicious meal last night, "proper" cooking

Jiminy

And we are off to Gym in a bit

And it went quite well. Although it was too busy in the cycling room for me to go thru, I had to stay in the classrom and get stuck in. But at one point I was doing 'step forward' exercises, I expected the one 'step forward with your right leg' to be hardest but that was OK, relatively easy. However when I stepped forward with my left leg I could feel my right leg trying to turn over onto it's side

Chap and Dog

Well I watched a program tonight that I used to read in a comic when I was littler

Busy Morning

So first thing me and Ed went shopping. First of all we nipped into Wilkinson and got an oven glove for £4.50 less than the one we looked at in Tesco last night and more comfortable etc so hopefully it will be more effective.

And it is, it works well

 
Then we went to Matalan and couldn't find any padded shirts (to replace the one I had to throw away s'morning) but instead I bought a posh (but black) kind of "keep yourself warm" top for £6 less than it is advertised here.

THEN we came back here and after lunch I asked Ed to cut my hair again.

Then I looked on Amazon and bought myself a padded shirt thingy which helps my "do not be fashionable" way of life

Pissing

Sorry.

I just went for a piss on my way to bed and as I stood there doing it it occured to me how much I have changed my habits, matured. 3 months ago I sat down on the loo every time I needed it, now I only sit down for poohs, I can stand up and control where my wee goes.

There you go, HTH or whatever

Shopping

So today we went shopping as tomorrow Ed will be cutting my hair and the shop closes earlier, and on Monday I will be at the gym.

Roof

Then this afternoon Ruth and Athan, her 9 y.o. son, came over to see me. We talked about me visiting her more.....

They Are Stuck Here

It occured to me s'morning, and confirmed by Dicky, that if eg Paul was on his way over here and eg crashed his car that Dicky wouldn't be able to leave me to go back to his wife and kids until another replacement made it here

Aardvarking

So then we went to Aardvark, I bought ecover washing up liquid and noted that they sell ecover "washing powder" liquid too(1). I stayed in wheelchair thru the first bit of the shop, where it widened I parked, stood up, and shopped for owt else, up the slope with no handrail into the back of the shop and bought more from there. Sat down and paid for it all

(1) The week after I bought 2 new boxes of Persil

Busyness

Then when Sarah was bringing me back home here we caught the end of a locksmith from the police who had fitted a lockable key safe outside my front door.

THEN we get a text from other SaraNO-H who was supposed to be here afterwards but she said "Sorry, too busy, see you next week instead"

SaraH

So Sarah came round s'morning and took my to the library where we had a look at their "What's happening in Carmarthen" booklet and saw that it is really cheap to rent DVD's for a week etc

Out

So we are out having dinner at Caffi Iechyd Da and she came and took my order. She said "Salad with your quiche?". I thought "Chips" but I managed to resist and simply replied "Yes"

(sent from my phone)

And it was well full at Iechyd Da tonight, it was excellent

Early Freya-ing

And I was in bed for my nap when Freya txted me and said "No spanish class today, shall I just wait in town?" so I had to reply "No we will come and get you" so she is here for 3 or 4 hours before our date at Iechyd Da (noisy link)

Sigh

And as we are so busy tomorrow we are going swimming today

Hoo-flippin'-ray

Blinkin' flip. I actually enjoyed myself at the pool today!!!! I wasn't lifted in on a hoist (which I hate), I wasn't jumping in (which I hate less but still hate), but today there was a temporary steps not a ladder but steps, which I was able to walk down into the swimming pool
