Circumstances

And everything depends on circumstances. So I am due to change my bed "over the weekend", and because my washing basket was full today I put it off until tomorrow.

Still the weekend but with nowt else going in the washing machine

Dinner

So tonight I had roast veg (veg as recommended by Alex last week) for dinner and while it was burnt to a cinder it was still delicious. When I was making it I had to peel 1 carrot, 1 parsnip and 1 potato. I did it all by myself, peeling everything cleanly. It is still much too hard holding stuff in my right hand but I am a million times better at it than I was even a few weeks ago

So Near So Spar

So I had to nip to my nearest shop to buy some stamps today, as I had used the last one I had to reply to a questionnaire from my Doctor, so we drove to the Spar. Alex fetched my walking stick from the boot and I walked into the shop, without my FES being on. It was fine, I need to practice walking short distances like this

More Reasons To Shop At Morrison's

Well, so we went out to M&S looking for some delicacies to feed to Freya tomorrow, couldn't find any there so we nipped to Morrisons to buy them, I thought "Well, I am due here on Monday to do my shopping, may as well pick it up today if the best before date is fine and it was

B&Q

Then even tho it was lunchtime we nipped to B&Q to pick up a piece of edging for the carpet. The piece that was on there was bent as I discovered at midnight last night when I tried to close the door behind me on the way to bed. So instead of phoning the landlord we just bought a piece and Gareth fitted it

Gym

Then we went to gym, the class, which I missed last week. By gosh I can tell how much better I am at stepping up, a few things that were nearly impossible a month ago are easy now

Aardvarking

So we headed out s'morning to Aardvark where (as usual) I spent too much on food etc. I did ask the assistant for discount "'cos Celia usually gives me some" and she did knock it down to the nearest pound

Wireless Broadband

And my PC stopped working for a bit today. Luckily Timmy was here and he switched some switches off and on again and got it all back working. I said "What's that icon here, there's usually...." and he said "It's a Broadband icon, what you have had here (for a number of weeks/months) is a Wireless Broadband icon

So good lord, it is slightly faster and more reliable now.....

Off

And I am not going to gym for a practice session today as I am having an early lunch then meeting Sara (a physio) at the National Botanical Gardens (noisy second link) where we are going for a long walk

Oh. My. Ged. Wasn't that amazing, such a good place. So I walked miles up and down a slopy bit and about ½ way round the largest glasshouse in Europe or summat. But I was too busy walking to take many photos but it was lovely

Docs

Then last of all today we had to go to the Drs and pick up another prescription of TestoGel. In theory this will be the last 'script, he will inject me in a months time

Hygenist

And I had to go see the dental hygienist and she was a bit more impressed this time. I didn't have to see the dentist afterwards this time, so obviously my toothcare is working

Instead

So instead of going swimming today we nipped into gym for a practice session as I have got a dental appointment today and I would be too exhausted etc. It went well tho....

Phew, email to and fro my phone

So Timmy was working again today and he managed to sort out my phone so it receives and sends email again. It only receives when I switch on the program etc and ignores the rest, I delete them from my PC but not my phone, it is set that they are still on the server until I receive them on my PC

So phew from the POV of SOS for example, not that I will have much to say but even some....

Daytime

And I was walking by the castle when I glanced upwards and noticed the moon in the sky. I thought this only was visible at night but apparently not, daytime too

Out For A Walk

So today Alex said "So, gym or a long walk?"

Then s'afternoon he took me to Carew Castle which turned out to be rather nice. It is built by a small lake which has a footpath the whole way round. When we got there the carpark had a damaged (by rain) path to it so I stayed in my wheelchair until we were on the proper path. I walked nearly a mile until the far end of the path where it turned into a country lane with traffic again. It was lovely being able to take pictures all round the castle, all round

Strangely enough the far side of the castle has "Not castle like" windows, dunno if they were original or added at a later date

Gardening

So me and Alex just got stuck into..... no, Alex got stuck into, while I watched, clearing out the Veg Trug of last years veg. And it took less time than we expected, it was just 3 or 4 plants that had gone mad and overgrown, with a few Strawberry plants, which we left, mixed in. Hopefully the Strawberry plants will come back and the few Blueberry plants in te tub next to it will come back too. Alex took the pullings off round the back and put them in my compost pile

More Shoe Shopping

Then we had to nip out again to buy more sandals as all the Velcro that keeps it closed had come off one of them

THEN

Then we were able to go swimming. Where Paul was impressed by how much better I am getting as we haven't been together for some time. As he was impressed he came up to me and suddenly pushed me in the chest - and I didn't fall over which is because my balance is much better.

He also said "Walk across, don't turn around and try walking back backwards", something which I wouldn't have been able to do a few months ago, but it was easy for me today

Then

Then we had to pop back to Morrison's (as the 'chair fixer came early) and get some oven chips which I had forgotten yesterday

S'morning

So we had to sit around waiting for the 'chair fixer to come and replace the seat bit of my chair and it is so much higher now, in proper position not kind of sagging somewhat
