Isn't she...

So I had an appointment with Denyse s'morning and she talked a great deal about my "stage" of recovery and where we\I should be heading now. (Not "for the rest of it" just for now)

Out and About

Then me and Alex headed out in the car. First of all I directed us to Mynydd Cerrig and we called in at Ruth's house and delivered back Athan's toy which he had left here

Then we went into Carmarthen looking for a bun shop but everywhere was closed (It was after 9pm) we ended up in SHHHHH McDonalds and bought two mugs of tea and two buns

Ruth and Athan

Then about 4 o'clock Ruth and her talented son, Athan, came round. It was excellent to see them both and Ruth made some noises about me finding a life which was positive

When they went home Athan left one of his toys sitting on my table

Level 3 class

So I had my first Tuesday mobility class s'morning. I could walk faster by the end of it than I could at beginning.

And it is strange noticing stuff today. I wasn't concentrating on my right wrist and it stayed in position for the whole session.

I didn't have to concentrate on my right foot for about the first 3/4 of the session and it didn't turn over at all, then I had to concentrate for 10 minutes then for the last 5 mins it turned over outrageously

Ulster

I have just caught a program about NI on BBC3 "Petrol Bombs & Peace: Welcome to Belfast" it was called. Just wow, they came to "peace" how many years ago and many folk are still so bitter. Apparently the 12th July was more violent in 2013 than it has been for many years

Warmer

And it has got much warmer since s'morning. I just had a bath, got into bed for my nap and lay there, in bed, naked, with no covers on

Rain

Gosh, it is back to "just" raining, not the noisy heavy stuff that there was earlier

Clever Clogs

So I said to Timmy s'morning how can I make the day appear beside the date on the beginning screen on my phone. He said "No, I've looked into it, you can't". I looked a bit disappointed and he said "But press 'the button' and do nothing else"

Ooh, the clever clogs

Summer's Over

And today is the first day in a number of months where I have had to put summat else on as well as my t-shirt and trews (new pic now)

Quiet Day

Well it's a quiet day on my timetable. So at lunchtime we nipped to Morrison's (noisy link) and bought loads and loads of more shopping than I usuall get there

SLT

Then just after I had woken up properly Sarah the SLT came in to see me again. We discussed some of my perceived weaknesses and how I can improve them

A Lie In

And I didn't get up today until 8.30. A decadent lie in

Sporting Telly

Then out of the blue when I came back from Aardvark I received an email that said "I have signed you on... you will get an email in 15 mins....." and I already had the next email saying she had signed me up for BT Sport and I could watch it.

I can't see it on my telly yet but it works on my PC now, which is where I watch 95% of telly anyway

Ah, and I am told I won't be able to see it on the telly as I don't have a Sky box, but WTF I can watch it anyway

Late

Then because I had a late lunch I thought there was no time afterwards for a bath, I just had a nap then headed off to Aardvark, did my shopping.

But because I had been to gym today I figured I probably needed a bath so I had it after tea (1)

(1) As usual on a Friday it was naan pizza and oven chips, it was one of the highlights of the week eating it

Isn't She Beautiful

So about lunchtime I had a 3rd level gym class with that lovely Sam. It seems strange, of the folk in my class I am by far the most immobile so effectively I have a different class than everyone else there.

I told Sam today that I had discussed my voluntary work with Trysordy and they had said I could move days so as from next week I am going to 2 level 3 classes

It is frankly remarkable how much progress I am making

Out In A Bit

And I have had a quiet day today but in about an hour I am heading into Carmarthen to but a dinner for Freya and Toby. Who is back in town staying with his Mum ATM so obviously some bridges have been mended

Wow. And he seems so grown up now. But yes we had a lovely dinner together, then we came back here, I gave Toby my old phone, went and bought him a SIM etc etc and had to buy Freya a "phone me" top up too

My Arm Is Better

Gosh, I have just noticed how much better my right arm is. It's not fully better so I was being a bit negative but on reflection it is so much better

Need Sum Buns

And this morning I got the stuff out, Paul arrived and said "Erm..." then I got stuck in and made a load of flapjacks. Yes, SmallPaul had to help, he greased the tin while I was stirring them.

After they were ready I left them cool for about 15 mins, tried to cut them but they were still all breaky. 

So I left them for another hour and they look lovely now

Colder

And I noticed that last night when I woke up I had pulled my bed clothes over me, for the first time in a number of weeks

Failure At Games

Then s'evening Timmy said "Game of backgammon?" so we both got on the iPad device, he won the first game, I put it down to luck, he then said "Best of 3?" and promptly beat me at the second game too

(Grumble, grumble)
