It's Broken

Oh dear. So s'afternoon my PC monitor switched itself off. I switched it off then back on again. It worked, picture on screen for a couple of seconds then died again. So I restarted the PC - still nowt. I was about to cry when Alex looked on the back of the telly to see if it had the right connecter. Which it did and I was so grateful when he got it working. Luckily TechnoTimmy is in tomorrow so I suspect we shall be shopping, unless he miraculously fixes it.

Its really strange now, it is about twice the size of my original monitor and too big for me to be able to see both sides of the screen without moving my head, but it works

To Hot To.....

But it does seem a smidge cooler today.....

S'morning we nipped to Morrison's and did a weeks shopping.

Trouble looking for frozen food that is not really fattening, again

Evening Out

And me and Alex went down through Swansea to Mumbles which was a bit beautiful and very coastal, it was a bit strange, we seemed to be looking across to a place which was a mile away. Strange but very worthwhile

What A Day

So me and Alex headed out to buy a fan 'cos it's so hot ATM.

But everyone had thought of that first.

So we called in at The Range, Waverleys and in the end to that awful Tesco place. None of them had a big fan or a small fan, sold out. Ach well

Earrings

And on the shop tonight SmallPaul said "Strawberry bags look silly on your hands" and my pockets were full but I invented a way of carrying them

Wot A Day

So I relaxed s'morning then Sarah came and I have been non stop busy since then, it was after 5 o'clock before I managed to stop and have a nap, now I am hungry etc etc

Drs

Then after a quick lunch we went to the Doctors again, to see about my cough. She (not my usual Dr as it was an emergency visit) listened to my chest, said "Awww" and gave me another course of antibiotics for a week and said I could leave the phlegm waterers.

She also gave me a stronger brown inhaler just one for now, hopefully my normal one will be strong enough when I finish this

Lastly she gave me an AeroChamberPlus which is supposed to make my inhaler much more effective. Someone tried a much larger device last year which I couldn't get on with at all but this one seems loads better and my chest feels better already, after having 2 blue and 2 new brown inhalations

But my cough seems better already, more phlegm etc so I AM getting better

FTF

First things first, so she came here and was saying "Yes, coughing" etc, she stretched my arm loads as it has got worse thru coughing etc. Then she said "Walk up & down" and said "Wow". After the injection into behind my shin last week my foot it turning over much less. I was walking almost without having to concentrate and my foot was not turning over, almost as if I had my Bioness device on, but I didn't

Before FTF

So they delivered my cover and frame for my VegTrug s'morning and I had to get out in the dreadful sun to supervise (and take pics) of Paul building the cover. Which actually looks rather good now and I think it will be effective

Bother

And because of yesterday's crisis we have called off gym today and told SaraH to come here instead to do her worst on my here instead

Scared

So I was sitting outside while Gareth pottered at the plants then I started thinking.... then I woke up while Gareth shook my arm and said "You OK?".

Dunno, I had passed out again

Aussie Cricket

So I am listening to the cricket test match on Radio 5 live sport and now the Australians have started bowling England and so far it is 26 for 3

Lordy we are supposed to win

289 for 7 at the end of play today so we came back very strongly after such an awful start

Lie in

Now I have learned how to switch off ny alarm clock when I don't NEED to wake up, so I switched it off last night and I didn't get up until an hour after my alarm clock was due.

First time in years

Now I am being careful to keep my fluids up etc. Last night I went to bed lateish and I didn't wake up for a pee until it was getting up time s'morning

Scary Creature

Aargh, I had to call TT out of bed a few minutes ago because there was an enormous creature flying about the living room, getting freaked out that he couldn't find a way back out. I think it was a bat, he had to attack it with a towel to make it be still for a minute in which time he put it out

Mmmmm

So Timmy told me today that they met up with Denyse yesterday and she mentioned how the chocolate or yoghurt peanuts and raisins that I have been buying as a snack are dangerous (choking) and very fattening and I would do better to go back to purchasing a bar of Green&Blacks organic chocolate like I used to as it is less fattening

Edible

And for a snack today I had 6 or 7 ultra fresh organic strawberries from my Trug. Just mmmmmm

TechnoTimmyfied

So TechnoTimmy came in today and even before I had time to show him my list of queries the postman brought an enormous armful of Techno crises, which we had to deal with.

Then we got stuck into my crises, the sending email from my phone in plain text is still query and TT is currently sitting behind me with my phone in his hand.

Listening to Radio 5 turned out to be no problem, instead of approaching it thru my browser he said "That radio app, use that" and it just worked, once we had found the station

And lordy BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP, TechnoTimmy finally found, downloaded and installed an App that sends plain text emails, so I can now now send Ixion emails if I am not sitting at my PC

OTness

Then SaraH OT came to see me, with a bag full of food and we together made a Spanish Omelette  with (steamed) spuds, a courgette, some mushrooms, a red pepper and 5 eggs we used in the end

It was delicious in the end

And she did comment on how much more mobile I am and how much more useful my right arm is these days

But I was chopping up veg with my right arm, it was cutting OK but I couldn't make the knife go straight down, it was 30-40 degrees off vertical. But then I realised if I took ½ step back, away from the surface I was cutting on then I could cut properly. Very very strange but I hope I remember it

Recycling

So we nipped up to the Recycling Place just up the road where again I was taking photos.

Today the MOtheeirS who knows how to work their camera wasn't there so I could't get the autofocus to work. I gave it to Alex and said "Help", he made puzzled sounds then pressed "Reset" which seemed to work

But FWIW I had a pee before we went, was there for 2 hours without a pee and didn't need to go straight into the loo when we got back. Gosh, the days of peeing every 15 minutes are long gone, phew
