Dinner

And tonight Alex said "I like your pizza but my tooth hurts too much to eat chips" so I just cooked him a pizza and made myself pizza and chips

Gym-ing

So me and Alex went to the gym next. It went well, actually on one of the stretching exercises apparently last time I did it I was forced to use one specific leg but as my right leg is so much more flexible etc that one worked today

Aardvarking

So me and Alex went to Aardvark for shopping first thing. We parked across the road and I got out of the car without my wheelchair, walked to shop, around it and back to car. Gosh, it is so much easier than it used to be

Getting Ready To Vote - stage 27

A letter came through the post today asking me to clarify who lives here so they know who to send the polling card to

Crisps

Last night SmallPaul bought himself a packet of crisps in't pub and I was actually rather impressed. They weren't Ready Salted, they were called, as in it said on the packet, Lightly Salted and they did taste different. I think they were lightly salted, just a smidge and that was much nicer than normal drowned in salt ones

Fun At Gym

As usual s'morning I was complaining about having to go to gym. When I was there today I was talking to one of the teachers about the other classes and she happened to say "I hula hoop during...". So eventually she went into the classroom, got her hula hoop and showed me.

So I had to rise to the challenge but I am not as good at it as she is. But the very fact that I am willing (and able) to even try stuff like this says summat about me

Crying At Gym

So when we got to gym today TinyTimmy suddenly anounced out of the blue that "we" were gonna just have a go on the bike today, but whereas in the past my target was doing 4 miles in 20 minutes today my target was up to 6 miles in half an hour.

Which I did, I managed 6.summat miles in my 30 minutes

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
