Saturday Dinner

And we had the usual Saturday Dinner of roast veg and Linda McCartney and it was as delicious as ever.

I bought too many veg to cook this week but I now have a brown paper bag with one parsnip in it on my rack, so next week I won't buy a parsnip and buy a bit less veg

The day is nearly finished

So the chaotic week is nearly finished. Calm again.

If only we can figure out how to work the new boiler properly then we will be sorted, calm

And it's looking good now. Alex has set the timer so it's not on 24hours and it seems to be working. I was a bit worried when the 'heating' symbol on there was flashing but that just means it is working/on

What A Day #58 - c

So we bought stuff at Aardvark, brought it home to put away, I had time to put everything away except for the veg which I left sitting on the side in the kitchen and went to Gym

Which was as much fun as usual and she told me, when I asked, that as it is not happening next Friday it is happening on Tuesday early ish, so I won't have to cry "Missing you already" to Sam

More walking exercise

What A Day #58 - b

Immediately afterwards we nipped to Aardvark to do my shopping. First of all we walked upstairs for washing powder etc and then we went shopping. She had just finished mixing more organic muesli de-lux for me as I am a bit special.

Or summat

Again walking in there

What A Day #58

What a day after my lovely thoughts s'morning. First of all we headed over to the Drs for my jab in the arse. I walked from the car, leaving my 'chair there. We had to sit around for about 20 minutes then she called me in. It is hard to be impressed with a jab in the bum but I only felt a small piece when she actually stuck the needle in. Either she forgot to squeeze the syringe or she is a very talented injector, I didn't feel a thing

House Prices

So I was having breakfast watching BBC and they said "First time buyers can't afford homes" etc

So I was sitting at my dining table in the house that I bought yesterday, my first time buy

In My House

So I woke up s'morning, got up and had breakfast in my house!!!!

(Smug, bug, rug...)

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
