Touch Screen

And it occurs to me tonight, touch screen, like I am doing now to type this on my iPad, much too modern for me to have ever done it before my accident

Sat

And this evening it was discussed and decided, we are going out to dinner tomorrow and then on Saturday night my mum is gonna cook for all of us here!!!

On Their Way

And I have just spoken to my parents, they are on their way to the airport in Belfast, flight in a couple of hours....

And they have landed in Cardiff.....

And them and Ian drove over and had a brew here. I persuaded them that I really couldn't be bothered cooking but as I promised not to have any ice cream for pudding that I needed to go to their hotel for dinner. So me and TinyTimmy (or TechnoTimmy) went out and had a very nice meal in good company

Gonna Cost Him

And after a discussion with Timmy I now know that Alex is gonna be liable for the excess on my car, so the insurance company will pay all but £75 which he is contractually obliged to let them take it out of his wages. I feel a bit bad about this but it will teach him, look everywhere, don't rely on beepy beeper devices to warn you

TimmyFood

And we had to nip to Morrison's s'evening and buy some Quorn-style Timmy Food as he is in tomorrow and we had none...

Further Fun

So I got out my swimming trunx and clothes and towels etc and set them on the bag in the hall. Then Alex said "Wanna not go swimming today ['YES'], wanna go take a walk around Carmarthen?"

So luckily I hadn't taken my sockings off yet.....

So we headed into town, parked in Wilko car park and headed into see what was in shop. We left my wheelchair in the boot. But after much up and downing in the shop (some of which was just to make me walk further I think) we found window cleaner and weed killer. Then we went into the café and had a brew in the proper seat

Such Fun

And we went to gym at lunchtime and did loads of exercises, new 4 machines b4 cycling routine

Gas Fixers

And s'morning some chaps came along and started drilling (noisy link) outside and they are "fixing" the gas, apparently. They posted a letter thru the door t'other day with instructions of how to turn it on again etc

Feed Me

So I was about to cook tonight when the pumpkin on the window sill caught my eye, I thought "Is it ready to cook" but then I thought "For me and Timmy, nah, leave it".

Then I thought "Right, this and this, with cooked veg?" Then I thought "Ah, Timmy" again

Qwerty phones

So I said to Timmy about when I can upgrade my phone and how according to the interweb there are more phones with qwerty keyboards, he said "Ah  yes, my phone (also a Blackberry) doesn't have the keyboard.... have a go" and let me try his keyboard on a screen device. And I found it pretty usable

(sigh)

So we went swimming today, and had even more fun then usual. Timmy said he could tell my heart wasn't in it, but dunno

Small Shop

Then s'morning we nipped out to More Reason's and did my usual small shop.

But then after lunch we are heading to B&Q to get some filler to fill in the hole where we had to move the greenhouse box thingy outside

Walkies

And s'morning walking out of my bedroom I can't help notice how much better the FES has made my right foot behave, it was almost entirely keeping itself straight instead of turning over

Pumpkins or Turnips

Ah, see it did happen, none of "my staff" believed me

Roast Turnip

And for dinner tonight we had (amongst other veg) roast turnip and it was actually rather lovely. You can tell the difference in Aardvark, as autumn season comes along various nice local veg appear

Cwmoernantfarm

S'morning I got an email saying "Yes, we are accessible" from the farm that has a folk clib on the last Wednesday of the month, so me and FixerPaul headed over to have a look, eventually found it and yes it is. The woman who runs it was on Chemotherapy for her cancer for 10 years, but now she feels that every day is a treat.

And she is a recycling weirdo like me

Guttering

And UsefulPaul got stuck into the guttering above the living room window which was overflowing, and took loads and loads of grey/black stuff outa there and now it works, water coming out of the pipe down the drain. When it stops raining he is gonna get stuck into the other side of the hiouse

Radical Morning

And I have been up for nearly 2 hours today and haven't been for a poo (noisy link) yet

Well it is nearly lunchtime and I have just had one and all is well with the workd

Rain

And the weather forecast said "Rain showers" today, we turned up at Aardvark and it was just starting to rain as I walked in, while I shopped I could hear really heavy rain which had finished by the time I finished shopping and stepped outside into a not raining world

Jabbed

So first thing s'morning I went to the Doctors and had my 3 month jab, the first I have had. And it didn't hurt etc, it was fine. The actual chemical they injected was different, it wasn't just 3 times bigger like I was thinking in my paranoid thoughts

Immediately afterwards we had to head to Aardvark where as usual I bought about two thirds of my weeks shopping, but blueberries are out of season now. We came back here and put it all away

Immediately it was time to go to gym where we were perfectly on time so the arrangements worked out well.

After all that we came back here and ate lunch. So my busy friday morning is over
