Rugby

And we went to the pub tonight and it was rather full as Wales beat Tonga at the game of rugby

Which was nice to watch (even tho most points were scored in the first half before we arrived)

Gymming

And we (me and Ed) went to gym over lunchtime. Today I  did not have my splint on my leg so I had to extra concentrate but it just about worked.

Extra concentration with every step but I managed.

Until the very last step of the class an hour later

Aardvarking

So first thing s'morning me and Ed went and didn't buy as much as last week at Aardvark. Again I walked in until we were cuing to pay at which poing Ed brought my 'chair in the shop.

I did have a conversation with the owner about how last week there was a chap walking down the slope while I was waiting at the bottom and he said, in passing, "What a struggle it is without a handrail" so she said "OK, I will ask the builder instead of my husband..." so wait and see now

Desk Shopping

So s'afternoon me and Gareth nipped to Cross Hands on the way to Swansea looking for desks. So first of all we called into Morgan&Morgan who were closed on Sunday, last time I was looking. But I thought it was fine enough, I called off the trip to Swansea and said "Buy it here". We didn't buy anything today, we had a quote and will send it to Denyse and (more to the point) Anthony and he can get on the phone and argue down prices then pay

And Denyse has just phoned me and said "Go for it", the funds should be paid into my account in the next few days

Helping Out

So s'morning me and Gareth went to Trysordy where after a couple of hours work we are down to 12 more members entries to fill in.

So dunno if someone else might have finished it by the time I go back in 2 weeks, as I am having my new splint fitted next week.

Off In A Bit

We are off in a bit to buy a camera

What a performance. So on the way first we stopped at the docs and picked up another inhaler for me. Then we nipped to Morrison's to buy some small cheese rolls but they didn't have any. Then we drove to Swansea to Morfa Retail Park to find Currys. First of all we went into the Massive Morrisons shop to get some cheese rolls, then we went into Currys. Hayley wasn't working there today so we had to make do with a chap, but he heard what we were asking for no prob.

So we came away with a new digicam, a new USB lead, some new cards, a new case etc etc.

So when we got home I swapped USB leads and plugged it in to charge. The manual is on my PC now, just don't know what to do next. Waiting.....

What a performance. So I took a pic that was fine but I couldn't upload it. So I tried 3 times to download it, and failed every time, then SmallPaul actually read the instructions and gave me the CD with it on

Then I got the pics onto my PC but I want then going straight to the file of Pics which I think I found out how to eventually

I think I am pleased with it, when somebody is in to read the manual and instruct me further....

Gymless

So today a) we have to take the car in to be repaired and b) we are going to gym later, not to a class but just time to practice. I need that but hopefully (the beautiful) Sam will be there helping everyone, including me, I need to work on my stamina/fitness etc too

So we have done the first bit now. We took the car to Cawdor Cars and left it in, they said it will take a bit longer as it's the second service and they need to change extra stuff, so they will phone Timmy when it's done. Then we went into Wilkinson's and had a coffee and a mince pie then we got a taxi home. Later when they phone Timmy we will get another taxi back, pick up car and head to gym directly

Right, and we have done the picking up and gym now. It was a bit strange but I did 2 sessions on a treadmill and one session on a bike. Which wore me out but not too much

Aargh, brain injured

And I was watching on telly 5 minutes of a program about brain injured people in the world.

Good god but I am lucky?

Manyana

So tomorrow first of all we are gonna take the car in and leave it for repair for an hour, during that time at a guess we will be out having a coffee and a bun, at a guess
Then later in the afternoon I am going down to use the gym independently, although Sam will be supervising

Late Lunch

So we had a late lunch after the swimming, then soon to bed as I was rough then nowt to do for the rest of the day. We had Falafel's for dinner which I had bought in Aardvark at't weekend and they were delicious

Even to Gareth who had never tasted one before but liked 'em

'Wimming

Then we went out swimming in the leisure centre with Sara the physio who was trying to broaden what I do but I resisted

More Reasons To Shop At....

At about 10.30 s'morning Gareth took me to Morrison's to stock up on various food items. But I didn't get stir fry and noodles 'cos the date was too short. Possibly I will go back on Wednesday with SmallPaul. We had to go early as we were....

Better at pis*ing

So today in the car on the way back from Swansea I commented to Timmy how much longer I can wait between pisses now. It is almost/is better now, I went to Swansea, looked around shop, went for lunch and came back to Llangain before I needed a pee. Whereas a year ago we couldn't have driven the whole way to Swansea without needing to stop. He commented on how when I was in hospital I had a catheter, ever since then I have had to relearn, to teach my bladder, how to hold in pee

Out&About

Then s'afternoon I had a bit of a confusing conversation with Freya then I realised that we needed to nip to her house and pick her up. We got her and on the way to town I said "Where shall we eat?". I think Freya doesn't enjoy my cooking and so we went looking for somewhere to eat. The first place was too busy we would have to sit for at least an hour so we said "No ta" and went looking for somewhere else. It became clear why the first place was so busy, it was the only place in town open. Eventually we found somewhere else, Weatherspoons, and the food was actually really nice, at least mine was. Simple but nice

Then we took Freya home again, it was a bit early, but she would have come back here for half an hour then left

Shopping Trip

So today me and Timmy went desk shopping in Swansea, to perhaps no avail. We did go shopping for my brother who is coming over at Christmas too, before we ate lunch out

At a guess we will have to go to Ikea in Cardiff next Saturday to carry on looking at a bigger supply of desks.

Coincedentally it is Timmy who is scheduled to be working next Saturday so no problem passing information about the trip to someone else

Currys in Swansea

Then we went to the massive Curry's in Swansea. There most cameras had batteries so I was able to discuss my needs with a (beautiful) woman and we brought away a piece of paper containing all info. about this camera. So hopefully we will pass it on to Anthony then he will either buy 1 for me or (more likely, hopefully) give me the cash to buy it.

Then we went and had dinner in Pizza Hut across the way and then we were s'possed to go 5 minutes away and see Alex's band but Paul thought I looked so rough we just came home instead

One foot is cold

So I had my bath, got dried then got on my bed for a nap. None of me is undercover, it is warm enough. For all of me apart from my right leg. Which is cold from the knee down, rest of my leg is warm enough, rest of body and arms warm enough apart from my right shin (shrug).  

Shopping

So me and SmallPaul (a stranger, I haven't seen him for two weeks) nipped into Carmarthen to go shopping.

First of all we went into Curry's but most of their digital cameras had no battery, so the whole visit was useless.

Then we went to Carmarthen Camera Center which was a lot better and lookable at/playable with. I think we decided what to buy but I am a little put off. Apparently the photo will be higher quality but until I can play with it and plug it into my 'puter I won't know for sure

Blogging

And eventually me and Timmy together managed to get the width of my blog to just be one page, not having to go right or left to reach "New post" buttons

What A Difference

And we went back to gym at lunchtime and what a difference moving my right foot 5cm to the right when doing the up and down thing (OK, the down bit) has made. It is incredible, I can now get down confidently and easily.

It doesn't hurt so f*c*ing much, or at all, now
