What Fun

And, oh what fun, today me and GrottyGareth went swimming at the pool. As usual swimming was fine, really did well at the balancing exercises etc. And swam 4 lengths. Afterwards we did get a bigger changing room and as ever ran out of towels

Aargh

Then after my nap I said "The light isn't working again, so it must be the battery in the remote control" so we nipped into Wilko to get a replacement. The light still didn't work so I changed the bulb. It still didn't work so I shouted "Help". Alex came in and eventually found that he had knocked the plug slightly out of it's socket s'morning when fitting the new lead for my iPad. So testing it again with the old bulb and battery so we now have bought a spare battery too

Right

So s'morning the postman brought the new USB connector to attach my iPad to the Interweb. Lickily it was Alex working today who knows about stuff like this  etc, so I gave it to him. First of all we nipped to Charlies Store looking for a pressure washer and some hammer in clips for the wire. So I stood up in the car park and walked all the way to the back of the store looking but we were only able to buy hammer in clips. So then we drove to the middle of Carmarthen, parked in Wilko's car park and again I walked into Argos. On foot in there I bought a pressure washer, and walked back to the car. Then we came back and had lunch.

Alex said "No need to go to the gym today as I  have walked so far" which is good, better rehabilitating me by being in town than in gym

Then after lunch Alex started hammering in cable grips etc and he is half way through connecting it. I said "Start this side, hammer 'til you are under the bed then go to the other end and start there, then and spare can just be piled up under the bed"

WTF?

So I woke up for a pee about half past six s'morning. I reached over, pressed the switch for my lamp, it didn't come on. Tried a few more times, no it must have blown, ask Timmy when we get up properly. Found my way in the dark as far as my proper light switch, went for a pee. And because this one just worked I knew we hadn't had a power cut etc

So when I got up properly at 8am I decided to just try it one last time before calling TinyTimmy.

It just worked this time,

Fredumpkins

And as I txted Freya earlier to say "Christmas?" she replied "Wanna see me tonight" so me and TinyTimmy took her out for dinner. And it was nice

Early To Bed

So last couple of weeks I have been having my nap later and later but today Denyse and Sian Evans, my social worker, are coming at 2.30pm and I agreed to "sleep" before they come

And they came, they talked about how my care needs are changing, and how to get the authorities to pay for more than they do already.

But they were here for hours

Connector

Then we had to go back to Wilko again and get a piece for the hose, then we could pressure wash all the outside

Shop-i-doodly-eh

Then s'morning me and TeenyWeenyPaul went to Morrisons and to Wilko and picked up the weeks shopping(1) and some other bits to clean the loo etc and some tape to, hopefully, make my TV more watchable

(1) We were able to get a fresh Na'an bread with 9 days date on it instead of the utterly chemical long life ones we have been getting usually

Right

And I poured the top-up milk on my cereal s'morning using my right hand

Rugger

And everything has gone a bit behind schedule today cos I watched Wales win the rugby match against Fiji s'afternoon

So by the time I had cooked dinner we were too late to go to the local theatre show which had been planned

And then in the evening I made an image map on that picture, summat I am not familiar with but now wave your mouse.....

Dispose

So at a guess I'd better start disposing of coffee grounds properly instead of just running them down the sink...

Ed said no need so.... I will look in Morrison's to see if they sell a narrower wooden spoon and go from there

Gym

And we nipped to my once weekly gym class today. And doing one of the exercises again I bent my right knee in such a fashion that I couldn't manage last week

And again today I walked up the stairs to class. Lift down but walked up

And today I managed that "get down on't floor" exercise by myself (again for the first time in...) without Sam saying " Move this..."

Aardvarking

Then we nipped out to Aardvark and did the most of my weeks shopping. Organic or locally produced...

Teeth

And once more I did that "brush every tooth carefully" thingy which I can bear, unlike the full brush which I didn't do

The Doctor

And I have just watched the last Dr Who episodes that were stored, and just....... I HAD to watch the second after the first cut off and..... and..... just
WOW

Strange Exercises At Gym

So we didn't go to gym earlier as TerribleTimmy was busy trying to do the staff rota for the next year, but we did go late in the afternoon. When we were walking in I said "Timmy, why don't I walk upstairs instead of exercising?" He didn't agree but said "5 minutes less on the bike if you walk up and down" So being lazy I said yes and went for a walk

Windy

And it was a bit windy today (noisy link)

TinyT

"Someone" has been busy in't office all morning so we will go to gym later.....

Teeth

And I did the "brush every tooth but not for two minutes" quick brush again s'morning so my dentist should be pleased.

And have less work to do next time I see her......

Quorn Burgers

And we had Quorn Burgers for tea (which I had to cook in a miniscule amount of oil in a frying pan) and they were actually quite tasty but my main point is again I cut the baps (large) with my right hand
