The Internet

Megaweb, suddenly out of the blue tonight

Hooray

And we are nipping to t'pool today.......

And strangely enuf, I did various exercises first then Timmy said "Breast stroke action, like we did last week", I was puzzled but in the end with a weight/float in each hand and my legs just doing a front crawl action, with a support round my chest I did not one, not two but 3 lengths trying to make my arms move strangely sideways (noisy link)

Maps

Just been looking at Google Maps around Carmarthen and it is just WOW, how posh can computer software be, holds so much information....

Dinner Tonight

So we are having my usual Saturday dinner tonight, roasted veg, as we had the first pasta I have had in years last night

Fark, I love that dinner, it was delicious.....

Bruising

And while we were out in the daylight Paul said "Good lord, a bruise on your head" and yes, there is one just to the left of my mohawk from t'other night

Out

So s'morning Paul came in and handed over. Then he made a cuppa and passed me a pack of Oreo Cookies which were rather nice. Then we nipped off to Morrison's and did my weeks shopping, very little was required, but we did notice that the Go Bars (healthy snack) were half price so I brought 7 packets home instead of the one per week I normally eat

Falling Backwards

And it is still astounding me, t'other night when I fell over I was able to get myself back up, from on the floor to on my feet with no problem

Micro Sleep

So I woke up s'morning at about a quarter past seven, thought "No, too early to get up" and lay there. I was thinking gord nose what and next time I looked at my watch it said 7.35 then at 7.37 thinking "I will get up at 8 as normal". Next time I looked at my watch it said 8.15, I must have micro slept the last half an hour

Haven't Made This For Ages

So for dinner tonight I asked Ed "Roast veg or pasta?" and he replied "Pasta" so I got stuck into chopping veg and grating cheese etc and even tho I haven't made it for ages it was reasonably lovely.

AND I have got half the veg I chopped in the freezer now so it will be even easier next time

Ache

And I feel a bit wonky s'morning but no bruises from my fall over last night.

I think, on reflection, that GGtGG had to rearrange the room and pick up my wheelchair etc but I was more than capable of picking myself off the floor, which I wouldn't have expected myself to be able to do, so perhaps I am less fscked than I give myself credit for

Fell Over

Well after being so drunk that....... tonight..... I went to the loo, had a crisis, fell over backwards...... had a MOS pulling..... I said "Do it like this" and managed, I was scared but managed..... got back up on my feet

Out

So we went up to't pub but Jo (the neigbour) didn't show up

Dinner

And what do we have for tea every Friday?

Yum yum it was

And I "did" loadsa washing up while it was cooking but there is still loads for GGtGG to do, loads.

Because it is not a heat frozen food dinner at a guess I should just get used to it

Making Friends

And we are off to't pub tonight to meet up with my beautiful neighbour and her hubby who have lived here about 2 weeks longer than I have. We met them last week and she said "Next Friday" so go about making friends locally etc etc

......jeroo

And we are off in a bit to my one class at t'gym each week. Wish me luck.....

And to some extent it was inspirational. I did say to Sam how much I don't like the class but.... and she said "But you can see how much good it is doing you", how right was she. She did also comment on how my right arm is no longer going into the holding baby position when I am doing some exercises which it used to. She also told me how I inspired one chap to come and keep exercising. He had had a stroke and thought he had got as well as he could so was gonna leave class, one day he saw me walking in and said "He used to be wheelchair bound" and realised that there is hope for us all

Aard......

So we went to Aardvark s'morning, had to pay to park but..... So we went into Aardvark, did my usual shopping and then, when we were ½ way to the till I thought "No, pasta too" so we bought some pasta, some veg and some organic tomato and chilli sauce so next week we have another meal that is properly cooked (OK, not made from scratch but better than the frozen thingies I have been serving). So next week, I cook pizza one night, roast veg another, scrambled eggs another, then the pasta and nonsense a fourth night so a minority of frozen food, only 3 night

Friday Feeling

So shopping in a bit

And practicing typing this on my new phone...

Gymming

So after a brew s'morning we headed over to gym. I did some lifty weights and astonished myself that I can now just do one of the arm exercises, I really used to struggle with my right arm but now it is so much more equal. Then I had about half a session on the bike because I was trying too hard and exhausted myself. On the way home I walked up the stairs in't gym to make up for it. Down in lift, up stairs and back down in lift to head home

More Shopping

So after my nap we went shopping, looking for a bigger washing up bowl, one big enough to actually take a plate flat. We found the tape, measured the sink and the old bowl. First of all we tried Wilko's but they were all as small as my existing bowl. So then we headed to The Range and after some looking found one that was 1cm bigger than the sink. But Alex said "It's tall enough to be out of the sink" and when we bought it and brought it home it is. And the plate fits in it flat

Another Busy Morning

So first of all me and Alex headed out to buy a screen protector for my phone. First of all we went to the recommended shop, they had loads of protectors but not one for the A5. So then we headed market-wards as it was market day and in the end found another shop, she thought she had none but then found one. Because I was being charming she cleaned off my screen and fitted it, which was nice.

Then we nipped to the 'wimming pool and did my usual exercises and lengths. It was too busy to swim breadths so I couldn't try swimming on my front but.......
