Tomorrow

And tomorrow morning first thing I have to go to the Drs for my testosterone jab

What A Day # 27

So we met up with Denyse s'morning and had our conversation about various stuff. She looked on her iPad and said "Wow, here is an email that I got 15 minutes ago, you have got the house, all bought etc". So I was too pleased/excited to take in any more stuff but Timmy was there making notes so hopefully..... We had a lovely lunch in the pub in Cardiff and set off to come home. On the way back I thought "Lord, I haven't had a pee since before we left Llangain", yes it is still pale so obviously my bladder is so much more efficient.

So after we stopped and walked into the Cafe in Carmarthen so I could use the loo we went off to the O2 phone shop. Basically they had forgotten about that "Sooner" email they sent and will charge me to change but if I wait until the 7th of may I can get a new phone then. I can't get a Blackberry like mine but I had already decided to try a type on the screen type so all is well. Just waiting now....

Then we went to B&Q and tried to buy more locks for the house to replace the existers but failed, so we came back for my bath and nap. When we got here the ex landlord had been round and [osted all the keys thru the door. After nap we headed out to B&Q with a better idea and we bought 2 new locks, one for the front door and 1 for the back. Timmy had said "No time to change them today, it's dark" but I pointed that both the doors open inwards so switch a light on in the hall etc

And I bought this house today.....

Bath

And as I was swimming yesterday today I had my first bath since he fixed the hot water etc and it was fine

VBG

Off Denysewards

So s'morning me & Timmy are heading east and we are gonna meet Denyse in a pub in Cardiff. We have to finalise handing over the house etc and some other stuff

Swimming

And we went swimming again today. Today was a swim less but do various exercises session. But at the end he said "Swim a length" and reached for the float but instead I swam a width (and back) with no float, just me swimming by myself.

It is the first time in nearly 12 years that I have swum by myself, no aide

He's Back

And the plumber is plumbing again already s'morning

And it all seems to work now, he has bled it all etc and is just doing the finishing tests

And AWWWW, my central heating now works better than I have ever known since I moved here

No News

And I was gonna switch the news on tonight but then I thought "Nah" because for the last few times I caught it they were going "General election..." so....

Out

And because of the plumbing crisis we are going out for dinner tonight.

I can't remember but I think it was nice when we were last there

And yes, it was delicious

The Wrong Day

So we went to swimming today instead of yesterday and it went OK, did 8 lengths and a couple of walks across. Only thing is my wet towels and trunx are still sitting here in a box as the boiler fitter is still fitting

Still working but he said I can put my washing on at 17.25 so progress.....

Lavender Rest

I thought of getting some lavender oil to help me sleep but haven't managed to. So I bought myself a spray on your pillow kind of lavender product. If it works I shall buy myself some proper oil before it is finished, runs out

Plumber

And the plumber is here. So he took the old boiler off after half an hour and is n=mid sticking the new one in it's place

Strange Pooh

So I went to the loo s'morning, sat down and squeezed. And squeezed a bit more... etc final squeeze and gave up, thought "No pooh s'morning".

Went about my business. 4 minutes later I went for another pooh, squeezed and did it, big style.

4 friggin' minutes, dunno what the difference was

Right Shoulder

And my right shoulder is getting better. I can't remember what it was doing not to work but I noticed when taking my jacket off s'morning, it just shrugs off both shoulders now whereas before I kind of had to take 1 shoulder off and pull it off the other with my opposite hand

Out For Dinner

So because the middle of the kitchen was full of recently done grout etc (new pic now) we had to go out for dinner.

We went to The Harvester and it was..... OK

Fixer

And the plumber who I was expecting tomorrow came today, 10 minutes before a delivery of my new boiler. He spent today drilling holes for the new gas pipes etc and tomorrow he is gonna switch off the gas and fit the boiler. As it happens there was no time to go swimming today so I will go tomorrow which implies a shower there instead of a bath here. And the bath won't be hot tomorrow so....

Refit It

And today we had to go off and but some gubbins to enable Timmy to fix my kitchen floor. It had started a few weeks ago but got much worse yesterday, a couple of the tiles had just decided that UP was right for them rather than DOWN ON THE FLOOR

In Awe

And I am completely in awe of my dentist. Not only is she as beautiful as a badger but my jaws ached because she had to pull so hard to remove the tooth but the socket doesn't/didn't hurt at all

Hot

And I was marginally nervous getting into the bath today but the water kept coming out warm

Even tho I was paranoid and I kept getting burned as I stuck my foot under the hot tap to check

Useful Chap

So today I told Small that as I am staying here he'd better get stuck in and fix the wires in the bedroom, the ones that are nailed up about 1 inch up in the middle of my skirting board

Crisis

So I started running my bath today, nice warm water running. So I got into the running bath when suddenly the hot tap started running cold water. I switched it all off and tried again. Still cold. So I shouted help and explained the crisis. He went out, looked at the boiler, ran a tap came back and said "It works" So I said switch the boiler off, leave it for 10 seconds and switch it back on. He did and it started running hot again.

Dunno why that happened
