Fathers Day Pressie

And I got an excellent book from Freya, amongst other stuff

And I managed to read it, even tho it was a proper book with pages, I still managed

I think that is a compliment to the book and to me, getting better

Gym, Jim, Jeroo

And so we nipped to gym old fashioned class s'morning and it went OK etc.

On the cycle machine it was saying "Heart rate too fast" for about the first 3 minutes, and my excuse is that I only spoke to the beautiful assistant before I started, so I calmed down a few minutes later

First Time in 10 Years

So tonight I came into my bedroom and went to close the curtains. Instead of doing both curtains with my left hand, like I have been doing for more than 10 years today I stretched out both arms at once, gripped both curtains and closed them both. Easy. Now I need to remember my new technique tomorrow. And the day after. Etc etc

Botanical Gardens

So we went out yesterday and had an excellent time with Freya at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales.

And it was really strange for me, I have no conscious memory of The Gardens but it feels familiar, as if I have been going there for years

What A Day

Phook, what a day. Until about dinner time from breakfast I was still stuck on my PC sorting out loadsa photos from yesterday, mainly from NBGW, but there were some others too

Pubishness

And Then me and AwsomeAlex and SmallPaul nipped into Carmarthen and went into 3 pubs and it was actually quite nice.

By my standards it was much too busy but in terms of Saturday night in town it is very quiet nowadays

Botanical Gdns

Just wow, the National Botanical Gardens were really special on so many levels for me and Freya, but I need to nap now, will write much more on my PC later.

But big ta to Freya for now, it was really good and special

Botanical Gardens

And we are off in a bit to take Freya to The National Botanic Gardens of Wales, apparently we used to visit there years ago but I can't remember at all, I have no memory

Hot again

So the hot tap was hot again but I will need to ensure that "he" writes how he fixed it so my new staff will know how to cope if we have a similar emergency

Jim

And I went to another "promoted" gym class morning s'morning and did loads of walking etc. And I can see the differences in my walking, both in ways I move my right leg forward and how I lean on my 'stick

OT

So Sara(h) the Occupational Therapist came round to see me s'morning and talked about calories and food so much that my brain exploded. But she left me some handouts and recommended some PC programs to try to get it all in track

Hot once more

And having been to gym and shopping in Aardvark when we came back here for lunch there was hot water coming out of the tap again. [shrug]

Hot Water

So there was no hot water coming from the taps s'morning. Ed had to do some clicking and banging in't cupboard under the stairs and it is working again now, still coolish but heating up

Ooh, have I figured out how to do this from my phone?

Fredumpkins

And Freya came in for dinner etc tonight, so I had to cook 4 meals, me and Ed and Gareth and Freya's but it was nice. And nice to see her, and loose at cards too

And Freya is taking me out for Fathers Day a day early, on Saturday, which makes me feel a bit emotional

And Freya begged me once more to shave my lower lip tonight and for some reason I did just that

Sarahing

Then s'morning Sarah the physio came to see me and did loads of stretching my arms etc. We also did loadsa walking with no Bioness and she was quite impressed with how I manage that

'Wimming

So Timmy insisted that I go swimming again today <sigh> As ever it was great fun and excellent therapy being in the swimming pool (if a little cold today) and as ever washing and drying after I was out was well stressful.

And again I laddered in and back out of the pool

Shopping

And on the way back home today we nipped into "More reasons to shop at..." and bought 6 packs of cous cous that serves 3 and some (org. and semi. skimmed) milk

Treasure House

So today at Trysordy "she" gave me a camera and said "Take pics" so I have actually been promoted, so instead of my usual recycling work I had to get stuck in to photographing the whole institute.

We're Off

In a bit to that Trysordy place to do some voluntary work

Big Delivery

Ooh, so the postman came today with my new Tablet, we have just got it up running and good lord, just wow
