Lookin' Better

And Ed is working today for the first time in a couple of weeks, he has been off training to be a nurse. So when I asked him to rub my cream on after my bath he said A) how much better the spots on my chest look and B) that my back seems fine so he thinks my strained neck was just from doing far too much at gym t'other day

Loads Exercise

So we went to gym today, I walked in, walked up the stairs, had 20 mins on the bike with 5 super fasty bits, got my breath back and walked back down the stairs, and walked all the way back to the car and got in

This being able to walk up and down stairs, after such an exercise session...

Half Term

And we had a conference s'morning and decided as it's half term that we won't aim to go on the exercise machines (and my shoulder still hurts from being so successful t'other day)  so I will just aim to use the bike machine

Strange New Purchase

So while I was in the dentist today I was looking at the "for sale" rack and got bitten by it, in the end I purchased a tongue cleaner device, to.... erm.... clean my tongue. It is part of the washing your teeth ritual, dunno if it is different/better than using my toothbrush but I have bought it now

It's Fixed

Wow. So we went into dentist at lunchtime. She poked, looked, x-rayed me and I waited. When the x-ray had come up she called me back in and said "It's close, but ultimately...", but basically said that on my next appointment she would have to take it out.

So blah, blah, blah we had another appointment already but there won't be enough time then to do scary stuff to my tooth so we have cancelled that and made another appointment to have my tooth out

So she has filled it with temporary white stuff that hopefully will last the few weeks 'til my next appointment. You can see how much of my tooth came out, there was only a small amount of tooth left but the whole root was there

No Swimming Today

And this morning I was chewing my muesli when there was a crunch and ⅔ of a molar tooth that "they" had to do loads of work on last year just fell out. So there is a scary rough bit where it used to be, Alex phoned and made an emergency appointment for this afternoon.

But why am I so pleased that there is no time for swimming

And about 20 minutes later they txted me and said "Appointment on.... at...." and it was a different time. So I panicked, said to SP he better phone them but he read the txt thru and said "No, different date, this is another appointment"...

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
