That T Place

So we went to Tesco's tonight, I picked up a new "roasting veg in" tray as the old one is loosing it's non stick surface (as in I bought a dearer version), thought "May as well while we are here" about sweet potato oven chips and got another sprayer of oil

Rain

And I had thought earlier "Lets go for a walk later" but it seems to be a bit too wet to try

'Wimming

So me and Timmy took ourselves off swimming today. But it's half term so it was a bit busier than usual but not too much. I did 4 lengths with the float device and 4 breadths with no support.

12 years since I was able to do that in the past, I had to do breadths as I am too scared to swim in the deep end but I did it

So Hard

As I am practicing walking without my 'stick it is so much harder to right heel first followed by a tiny bend of the knee. It is so difficult to just walk. Most people can do it - just wow etc

Paying Double

And my ex landlord phoned me s'morning to say that he had been paid rent for next month whereas I had bought the house so can we give him some details about where to pay it back

A very honest men!!!

Boxes

And we went to the garage s'afternoon and put my enormous collection of cardboard boxes (in case I move) in a bin bag as I have now bought the house, no charity shop will use them so recycling we go

No moving

More Reasons To Shop At.....

And we are off to Morrison's in a bit to do the small percentage of my shopping that I can't do at OrganicAardvark

Another tenner well spent, of which three and a bit quid was the cream I put on in the bath every day

Technology Alex

So Alex has set the boiler to switch off at midnight but it was on when I got up s'morning. So ta

So he failed to tell me about my bedside clock but otherwise he is quite useful at this technology....

Reset The Time

So last night before I went to bed I reset my watch and the clock in the bathroom. I puzzled for a few minutes over my bedside clock, called Alex to help, we looked at it together and gave up, expected it to be wrong s'morning. When I woke up my bedside clock had changed by itself, I came in "here" and my PC had changed to the proper time too

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
