Out

Me and SP headed out to the pub at the end of the road and had an excellent evening. When we got there there were 5 or 6 residents in the just drinking area, that's 5 or 6 more than on new years eve. When we walked in one chap immediately said "Oh, you wan't to sit here" and got up and left his taller seat by the bar. So they know me now. We all had a nice conversation until "they" went off for tea

We got there, parked, I walked from the car to the door, up steps and on in. I walked and sat there all night. I didn't use my wheelchair (which SP had pushed) until we were going back to the car

Wimming

So me and SmallPaul went swimming s'morning and it.... wasn't as unpleasant as usual. As I did my lengths he was just walking along side me, and it was proof that most of my staff must help me a little when I am swimming. I prefer it this way, when I finish I know I have done it

Shoe Shopping

And at dinner time tonight we nipped to Sports Direct and picked up another pair of sandals. Because mine are starting to look a bit worn, at a guess they will last another 3 or 4 months by which time sandals will be a lot more expensive as it is the start of the summer. So hopefully they are even cheaper in freezing February.

So I bought a pair today, brought them home and went straight into my bedroom and stuck them in the bottom of my wardrobe. Keep them safe

Gymming

So me and GGtGG went to gym s'morning. We had timed it badly (from my point of view) as there was no-one in the way, we were able to get on 4 machines before the bike. Suffice to say that no matter how much I complain about gym it is working. So we turned up most of the exercise machines and cycled further than IIRC I have done since my accident

Bad Taste

I received an email s'morning that was trying to sell me a T-shirt, but I think it was in bad taste, for me.

But I thought this one was in better taste

Reading In Bed

Because "someone" from Ixion sent me a doc version, a completed version, of the stuff he has been feeding us for ages now I got that on my phone so I can read it when/wherever I want. So last night I got into bed and thought "Oh...." and tried it and lay there for about 40 minutes rreading. It reminded me of being a child. So now I can read in bed once more with my Kindle or my phone

Bizzie Day

And because I had to buy a salad and some blueberries about Thursday last week I still had some of both yesterday so I took a decision to leave my Morrison's shopping until s'morning. So we will nip out there first then come back here and go swimming

So yes, he was right. I was going "Come on" to Alex but we went shopping, got back here an hour ago and I still don't need to go swimming yet. But we have done the shopping, all is bought etc

And "Oh what fun we had". We went swimming, it wasn't quite as bad as usual but "someone" forgot his quid for the locker

Right Handed Scissors

And I had to open a new pckt of coffee tonight and I used the right handed scissors in my right hand. It was no problem, it opened easily

Strange

A strange victory

A Change Of Tune

So the BBC announced that it now wants "all" party leaders to be in the election debate. Plaid Cymru and The Green Party amongst others

Getting Better

Now today I noticed that 3 out of 4 links towards the end of hippyweb.me.uk are all about me improving. 12 years after my accident. Still getting better

Treat or Not

So Ed announced "Want some of this with dinner?" and gave me a treat type thingy to cook too. While it tasted lovely it was so greasy, there were greasy dirty marks on the small plated that it was served up on

More Rugger

And I am watching Ireland play rugby on't telly now. Yes, they have been in the lead since minute 2 or 3 but England were similar yesterday but they lost the lead in last 5 minutes. Here's to hope that Ireland do well until the very end

Phew, "we" won, easily

Relax

"Someone" said this week, "Extra gym at weekends?" I had to shout "No, day off" so here I am, as busy as a....... having a weekend day

Loosers

And so...... despite the..... Wales scored after 2 minutes, and after 9 minutes but went on to loose

Dinner

And I thought "Dinner tonight, perhaps we should eat in't pub during rugby", but then it occured to me, Friday is pizza day so I had to make that and eat it. Just yum, yum

Again I used loadsa Garlic in making it, I kind of wasn't sure (as usual) if I could taste it in the food but the after taste effect in my mouth I can taste that now so perhaps I just ate it all up without tasting separate bits

Tonight's Diary

Struggle

Then I went to the proper gym class where it was easier than last week, again. Sam said "Do this until it is starting to ache" but I said "No, we need to push it 2% further than that, in order to recover"

And afterwards I got on a bike for 10 minutes, again with my effort level up by one

....king

And me and GGtGG nipped to Aardvark s'morning, did my weeks shopping and got home in time to pack it all away, sort out my banking as I had just spent... and still had time for a cuppa tea before nipping to the only gym class that I go to every week

AND I put it all away without using my wheelchair when we came back, too

Aargh

Just on the news saw a clip of Jimmy Saville and Gary Glitter together. On how my childhood has changed now we know the truth
