Come Back Timmy

And I have a number of issues on my new phone, I can make calls, make txts, look on the interweb but it won't look at my webpage.

Then

Then after teaching we nipped to town and collected Freya and she came back here for a dinner.

Which wasn't actually as nice as expected, stir fry and black bean sauce don't mix very well.

Then she nicked my PC and got stuck into homework for some time

Voluntary Work

So I am off to see if I can teach 'puters to loadsa losers s'afternoon

Which we will do after we go to the chemist and pick up my inhaler, which was written on my diary for yesterday but I got a bit too excited at the mobile phone shop and couldn't go 

(Or I forgot because I was so excited)

Question mark...

Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the O2 network.

Wot 'n afternoon

So after a quick lunch here we went back to town and went to the mobile phone shop. Where after much fiddling about etc they gave me a Blackberry Q10 and just WOW. I think I like it even if I can't work 85% of it's functions yet

Wimming

So I made excuses about being too busy all morning but SmallPaul wouldn't take any excuses and took my to the swimming pool at lunchtime today. It was as much fun as ever getting changed and down the ladder.

But walking backwards and forwards across the pool. So I stepped out with my left leg and managed to cross the forwards line etc.

Then I had to move my right foot forward, which I have always been able to do...... but this time as I moved my right foot forawrd, I tilted my left foot slightly and WOW what a difference that made. Instead of falling over to the left I was actually able to walk properly straight on both sides. What a difference, and I a)can't explain fully and b)can't do it anywhere but walking in water, for now. But it is just the best walking I have been able to do for over 10 years and hopefully I will be able to carry it over to walking outside water soon

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

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
