Voluntary Work

So I started my new voluntary job nearer Carmarthen, in a place called Trysordy where they do loadsa sorting out recycled goods to make them saleable instead of for the landfill.

The actual work I had to do was a bit dull but it was good crack with other volunteers etc

Off Topic

So Sara the Occupational Therapist came round to see me s'morning. We talked about how I am getting on with voluntary work and also about cooking. I think I need to cook more stir fries, curry etc and eat less tofu burgers

Because we were talking about voluntary work she asked how I feel about the new one that I am starting s'afternoon

Fishes

And I finally found some floating fish on eBay, OK, Timmy did, but as one of my floating fish died I replaced him

Strange Dinner

So we had strange thai potato cakes for dinner. I had bought them a couple of months ago, looked at 'em ever since and thought "Naaaa, too hard to cook" but Timmy and I got stuck into cooking them and they were delicious if a bit odd tasting

Banker

So we nipped into town to look at the new O2 phone s'afternoon, choose one that I will get on Wednesday when we go back, then tried to buy some stuff in't shop, my bank card wouldn't work, I had to (old fashioned) pay them cash.

So we nipped back to the bank, they said "Yes, it's knackered" ordered me a new one and paid me some cash to use in the meantime

Gym

So I did gym s'morning, it was OK but she said "Holiday next Monday" so I will need to change my diary again

But today I was going on the trampette and today, for the first time ever I got up without a step. When I was up Timmy brought a step for me to step down on but as I had just stepped up I felt powerful and in charge and manage to step down, off it, without using the step

Space

I have missed out a bit, it sez "France, Germany and Italy were expected to have priority".

WTF's going on?

More Reasons To Shop At...

Then we nipped to Morrisons after lunch and bought less spud dishes so I can use up the couscous etc

Cous Cous

Just here because I need to change the habits of my food again, I don't have to buy some kind of preprepared spuds, cous cous is a good source of carbs

Coffee

So as I sat here having breakfast with my carer that doesn't drink tea or coffee.... it occurred to me that caffeine is one of the more sociably acceptable drugs that our society takes

(from my phone)

They Knew

For a number of hours I was struggling then I Googled for the right thing and they knew, it was as easy as sin and took about a second and a half

Clean Towels

And I washed all 4 of the towels from the bathroom today, to be followed tomorrow by the sheets from my bed

Yum yum dinner

And for dinner tonight we had frozen potato croquettes, beans and scrambled egg. And it was flipping delicious, it tasted a lot nicer than it sounded

Boss Gardener

Then afterwards me and SmallPaul did some gardening. Well mostly I sat back watching him but he only took photos of me when I was busy

Aardvarking

And we nipped back to Aardvark today where I again spent much too much on food etc.

Afterwards we nipped to Morrisons where I just picked up the ingredients for a stir fry which I had to struggle to recall as I need to cook it more often

And again in Aardvark I was on my own two feet for longer

New Gym Class, another promation

So after Sara The Physio comes to see me I am off to the first of my "promoted again" gym classes

No I am not, too much to do today Paul had to txt Sam and say "Sorry". So next week....

So Sara The Physio came and did loads of walking up and down, keeping my leg in a certain position and holding it in a certain way and by the end of it I could walk a short distance with no stick and really feel that at last I am moving properly

Early to bed...

And I had to have an early lunch today in order to have an early nap at lunchtime because after napping I am going to voluntary work then picking Freya up on the way back

(from my phone)

And we picked her up, she came and got stuck in on my PC while I stressed trying to cook 2 dinners as we only had a small amount of pre prepared spuds and 4 freshly opened yesterday (so need to finish them today) sausages for the 3 of us

Worker

So I am going to start my new voluntary work s'afternoon, a bit excited

Well, it was OK. But I feel that my knowledge is stuck on programs what I know, but TechnoTim was with me being able to answer questions that I had no idea about. But between the two of us we made one womans afternoon much better

Gymming

So I went to gym, a smidge hung over from the cider last night and said "Missed u on Monday but I will c u Friday instead this week" and it all went well

Special Delivery

Then s'morning NaughtyNick had his spare car key special delivered from Devon so hopefully we will be able to take him to the garage that his car has been in for 2 days and get it back.

Hopefully, or else he is stuck in Carmarthen with a car that won't work

Well it didn't work, we had to leave him at garage and go on't gym but he hasn't phoned and said "Help" since so...

Well after we left he tried again and it worked so he drove home without stopping apparently
