Bank Holiday

So as it's a bank holiday we didn't go swimming today but did a session at the gym. Today I cycled 3.44km so I am getting better really quickly

And as I was about to email Caroline and say "Where's my dole(*)?" I remembered that it is a bank holiday and I should get it tomorrow

(*) Or whatever the equivalent I get now

Lap Top-ing

And Timmy has just been on't phone to Ed and I think basically they agreed that the staff lap top is f*cked and they have tried anti-virus so perhaps I better fork out for a new one

Well as TechnoTimmy is here at present and trying loads of stuff dunno....

Well it appears to have been a piece of malware that had got in somehow, so fingers crossed now

HHGTTG

And watching telly, because my iPad wouldn't let me, about to go to bed when HHGTTG episode 1 came on. Wow, I recall but not the style &c

It is good

Dentistry

And at lunch when I bit into a small granary roll and a big bit of one of my "been f*cked, mended now" teeth just fell clean off

Ooh

So today we had to nip to Morrison's and pick up the 4 things that were on my list, but first of all we nipped out to Trevaughan (Where? I said. About 4 miles out of town up Water St they said) to first look at another house that Timmy found. (Didn't he find this one too?). So many of my lights have been lit, it looks good, well out in the country but still only 4 miles away from Carmarthen.

So Timmy will phone the estate agent tomorrow

And Ed did say Re front step "But you can walk now, handrail..." but Denyse is being more pessimistec about me getting old....

And we left my 'chair indoors, walked once we left...

Nursey Nursey

And last night Ed, my qualified nurse part time carer, didn't put my sockings on as he said "My legs are so well" it will be OK not to occasionally

Which ties in with what the FES expert said a few days ago....

Cold Again

And the central heating switched itself on last night which I do find reassuring etc

Forgetful

And today as my MOS hasn't been working since they moved and I said we would pick Freya up and despite the fact that I have been there once a week for a couple of months I had to phone Freya and say "Where do you live now?"

Us ABI sufferers sometimes forget stuff

Pizza

And we had our usual Friday Night Dinner of Pizza'n'chips which was as georgeous as last weeks. But today I thought "Flavour more/better" so I looked on that Interweb and it said "Tomato sauce, cheese and whatever ingredients you can think of" so actually mine is very good and tasty etc

Crisis

Oh, had a minor solitaire crisis but it's all OK now

Gym

And then we went to gym, it was as hard work as ever but I can really see how much better I am getting. And today it was fitted but I didn't switch on my FES at all

After gym instead of coming back here for a late lunch we headed off and bought some bigger enveloped so Timmy can post off references about me etc

So a really late lunch is in order, with late dinner to follow

And yes, we ate at 8.30 tonight.....

Stairs. Left right left right

And we went to Aardvark s'morning to do our shopping. As well as the usual I had to walk upstairs to get toothpaste. Gosh but it is easier than last time, which was easier than time before etc. Now I can just walk up left, right and back down with alternate feet the same

No, it's sinking

And the house we found on the interweb last night is sinking according to the estate agent, it needs ..... fixing, so no to that

FESing

So we are off in a bit to the FES headquarters to let them know how well I am getting in and ask them WTF my boots don't work anymore and can we have loadsa new connections etc etc

So we walked in and sat in there for about an hour before being seen for 10 or 15 minutes but he was really positive. And impressed with how I am helping the FES too. So he gave us loadsa connectors and bits so now my boots work too. But as I really needed my boots before as my ankle is so much better I can walk as well in my trainers

And at the end the chap did actually say that if I continue getting so much better perhaps one day I can give them my FES back as I won't need it anymore. He was the first person to suggest such a thing which took my breath away

Barefoot as it were

And s'morning before I had me sockings changed or my FES fitted I walked out the front door to the road, got my foodwaste bin back and carried it to it's placement and then walked back indoors.

Gosh I am so much better at walking unaided than I used to be......

Gymless

And because we have to have an early lunch today before heading off to the FES clinic later we won't have time for gym today.

Woe is me....

Early To Rise

So last night I was awake and looked at my clock at 2.30, 3.30, 4.30 etc then next thing I new it was 9.30 and I was still in bed. Later it emerged that I had somehow switched my alarm clock to OFF, dunno how or why

Chairless Day

So first of all Gareth phoned the chemist, they said "Yes, it's in" so we went there to pick it up, with no wheelchair.

Then on the way back we went to have another look at the house that's on the list, today we saw that it was big enuf so asked Timmy to make an appointment with the estate agents. "Spoken to the agents, its got tenants ‎atm. They getting back to me"

Then we came back here and had some lunch and updated the photo's on my 'puter, then went to gym (where I was only on the bike for 12 minutes but did 3 km in that time), again with no chair.

So I haven't seen my chair since last night, I have walked everywhere today. Which feels nice but possible

And more to the point I had no FES on today but I can feel if my ankle is behaving and it was

Old Men Can Still Think Fast

He had a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, a barbecue and some apple and peach trees.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over.
He grabbed a twenty litre bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.
As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until you leave!'
The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.'
Holding the bucket up he said,
'I'm here to feed the crocodile...'

Some old men can still think fast.

Potential

And we went and had a first look at a house tonight (I found it on a website) and it seems rather nice area wise etc. Timmy is gonna phone then tomorrow and see where we go from here
