It Wurkz

Then today I put the pouring measures device on my new bottle of whiskey, which I bought instead of two half bottles which I have been using for a number of years as I was too scared to try pouring a whole bottle but there was no problem, I managed, so I am like a proper drinker now.

And about £6 richer too now

Denyse-ing

And then s'afternoon Denyse came round and discussed my future with me, how I am gonna about potentially buying a house, how I am definitely buying a PC and probably buying a camera, how to's, what to look at etc

Sara-ing

So Sara the physio came and worked me loads. We went for a walk together half way up the street and back. On the way back I was a bit concerned and asked Timmy to walk ahead and fetch my wheelchair back but I didn't need it, I ignored him when he came back and walked all the way to my front door

Cooking

According to Timmy it was agreed a number of weeks ago that I make special food on Sunday so we are going off in a bit to buy ingredients and devices to enable us to make Banoffee Pie and some Mushroom Stroganoff (whatever that may be) for tonight
And after lunch, before bath&nap we got started, I broke up most of the biscuits, mixed that with melted butter and spread it out in 3 small cooking tins (that we bought s'morning) and then put 'em in't fridge so it will set into the base of Banoffee
And we cheated a bit too, while we were in't supermarket buying ingred. for both things we werer half way round when we saw a packet of MixItYourself-Stroganoff so we got that and put half our shopping away again
So I am supposed to be exercising my chopping veg skills but we cheated. It wasn't my idea....
And after nap we mashed banana and put it in the pie then waited for Timmy to finish whisking the cream and we put that on.
And put them in the fridge to solidify. I haven't tasted it yet, but will after dinner
In a few minutes I am gonna start frying the onions for our Stroganoff, I chopped the mushrooms while Timmy was whisking the cream for our pies

And that was all reasonably delicious, the pies were far too much hassle to make
again but the Stroganoff was actually quite easy if a bit time consuming

Morrison's-ing

So I looked at my diary and thought "I'd better go shopping tomorrow instead of Monday, as I am busy then" but then I thought "Oh no, it's Timmy (Mr Tesco's) with me tomorrow" so I checked online (opening hours) and had to ask Gareth to come with me  tonight. So some of the stuff is a day younger 'best before' but I think I will survive
And because Gareth was looking critically at my usual purchase of two half bottles (and he pointed out how much more cash it costs, like £6 more like that) I practiced for a few moments with a whole bottle, tipping it etc and in the end I gave in and bought a flippin' enormous looking whole bottle. But I can't practice pouring it until Monday tho....

Backgammon

Then today I played Backgammon again. In the last few days I have won by two or three pieces but today I was winning by so much that I offered a double at which point my opponent gave in

Out&About

So we headed off to see if we could see the house recommended by Moishe, Llanpumpsaint, but we couldn't see it. But it does look posh etc there so perhaps further inquiries should be made

Gosh

It has thrown me a bit having lunchtime gym but it it OK.

But I was singing in public last night

Lunchtime Gym Session

Aargh, I had another gym class, again a few women told me that they can see how much better I am getting, but still doing that down and up stuff really felt uncomfortable. It is easier to get up that it was last week but still too scary

Trick/Treat

And some Trick or Treaters arrived, knocked on my door looking very scary in costumes etc. I gave them far too much cash as I have no memory of a Trick/Treat knocking on my door before

Iechyd Da

And we are off to Caffi Iechyd Da (noisy link) tonight. Me and Alex are gonna sing Blowing In The Wind (noisy link too) and I have a limerick to perform too
Oh my good lord. Various folk praised me for being in tune the whole time, just WOW
And more to the point Alex had to stand up and play guitar so he didn't have a microphone. I was the only person singing thru a microphone

That Place

So me & Alex went to Trysordy and I did a lot more computing work. I think I have finished about ⅔ of the entries, I should finish in another 2 or 3 weeks

Solitaire

‎And it was the third game before I won s'morning - the third game‎.

Gareth Pleased

And Gareth told me today that he had just had a txt from his business partner who had had to send the HDD off their business PC to Scotland where for about 300 quid a chap managed to find all their billing data etc. I told him, and he said "Yes, obviously", to back up the new HDD every day

Aargh

And we went swimming today, and it was half term so really busy. We couldn't get the proper double disabled changing room as it was busy etc

Trip Out

And we had to go into Carmarthen to Poundstretchers to buy a new battery for my switching off the light device. Which we did, we found some, a box of five of which only 2 are the right size. They didn't have any other way of buying it, we needed the right size so now in the spare battery drawer there is a box of 3 dunno what they will be for ones

In A Bit

Off to see Sam(antha) in a bit, which I am pleased about, but she is gonna have to make me do stuff that I haven't managed for 11 years which is pleasing too but a bit scary
Gosh. Well I saw a woman who hasn't been there for 3 weeks and she commented on how much more able than I was 3 weeks ago. Gosh, dunno but I must be getting better, she wasn't the only good comment I received today, so....
And I did that "getting down" thingy with Sam again, talk about a lot easier than I few weeks ago....

Hurricane

And the weather seems faultless ATM (11.45PM) - no rain and not even a noise from the garden so I think it is windless. Wait and see....
Calm before the storm?
Apparently it is more hitting England now, Wales will be OKish....
And it missed us entirely, no wind, hardly any rain etc

Tart

And at lunchtime I got out the box containing the last piece of Apple Tart that my parents had shared with me and presented it to Timmy. He said "No ta, you eat it" Which I did, happily
