Green Group

And me and Alex went along to the Green Party meeting, which was upstairs in the pub back room so I managed to walk up and down stairs many times (well twice) tonight. There were perhaps 25 Green activists there, me and Alex, Julia and Freya. Truly mind boggling

Didn't I Do Well

And I went to gym at lunchtime and managed everything, it wasn't too busy. But just how much better am I getting at loads of exercises. They seem easy now

Reading In Bed

So when I got in bed for my nap earlier I took my Kindle with me (I know) and tried to read it lying down. It was more difficult than upright reading but I managed, read for 15 mins before I shut my eyes and tried to nap properly

Double Sigh

So we went (quiet Neil)swimming(/qN) and it wasn't as bad as I expected. So I did loads of exercises and swam up and down, with GGtGG paying attention to his instructions and not helping me along at all

And I did 2 extra lengths, 6 in total so no doubt in future they will nag me to do more

And afterwards in the changing room I just pushed the showering chair over as a support, I didn't sit in it at all, purely showering on my own two feet

BT Yahoo Mail

I have given up, this email program doesn't work all the time, so I have given up again and just read my email on BT Yahoo Mail webspace

Gorgeous Greta

And LusciousLinda the Foot Fairy is coming in to cut my nails s'morning but I may have another nickname for her.

Not Curved

And my wrist looks straight here, which is quite pleasing

Early

Then I had my bath and my nap early so I could be up in time to see Wales win the rugger which was nice (noisy link)

Shops

Then l8r we nipped off to More Reason's To Shop At... and was actually rather impressed with how little stuff we actually needed, we bought it and came home then

Late

So Timmy is coming to work an hour late today as he is taking his son for the first time to the cinema, to see Peppa Pig (noisy link)

BBC

And BBC seems to have sorted itself out somehow. All my settings say I am in Wales but for no apparent reason after the news the London news would come on. Yesterday for the first time that I had noticed after The National News The Welsh News came on

Long Walkies

So we nipped to town so I could get sum cash out for the foot fairy who is coming on Monday so we just decided to have a look around. We parked down in the short stay spaces at the end of King Street car park. I walked from there all the way to where King Street turns left. Then I asked GGtGG to push me in the wheelchair he had brought.

6 or 7 minutes later I got up and walked again, from one end of Merlin's Walk to the other

When I'm Cleaning....

Well GGtGG has just got stuck in with my new squeegee and is cleaning the windows. It looks lots better already

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
