Drowning

And we went swimming and I did more exercises and stuff but still managed 4 lengths on my back.

At one point I was stuck, in trouble but GGtGG managed to stop me even getting a mouthful so I shouldn't be too rude/vulgar to him later.

As difficult as that seems......

SultrySara

And we are off to do summat with Sara The Physio, dunno what/where we are gonne walk, she is gonna phone me in 10 minutes for a conference/perhaps say "Meet me here".....

And we went off to the National Botanic Gardens. I went there without my wheelchair this time and walked from the parked car, through the entrance and all the way up the hill to the glasshouse. I think if I had had my 'chair about 20 mins before we walked up I would have cried "Enuf" but as I had no 'chair and I wanted to get there I just walked on. Flippin exhausted afterwards but I did it

AND I did mention to Sara how my memory is still getting better and better, it would just have been SexySara last year but....

Back To Normal

Right, the "relaxing" weekend is over, back to struggling on......

So first of all we nipped to Morrisons and bought salad and bread rolls (for lunch) and bugger all else.

Next we are off to drowning/swimming pool....

And we went to the pool, did various stretch your muscles exercises, 2 lengths on my back and 2 lengths in the breast stroke stylee

Just One Copy

And I posted on Ixion tonight and just received one copy of it, so it wasn't an accident yesterday that it worked

Cutting

And as Ed is working today too I got a haircut.....

Another Bothersome Day

And I woke up s'morning convinced that Gorgeous Greta is coming to cut my toenails tomorrow so I'd better go and get sum cash to pay her but on reflection (Looking at my PC) she isn't due to next Monday

Last Night

I sent this to BT "I receive 2 copies of every mail I post to the list. So if I go into my preferences and tell it NOT to send me a copy of messages, will I still receive the "normal Ixie" post but not a duplicate copy of does that mean that I will never see my own posts to the list?

How do I fix it, please?" but today I just tried it, posted a testy to the list and just received one copy. How long has that been puzzling me.......

Or "bothering me" to be more precise....

Quiet Saturday

So all day I have been.......

Na'an Bread And Chips

We had the usual "Neil's cooking on Friday" dinner of na'an bread pizza and chips tonight. I think I might be getting even better at making it, it was lovely tonight

Class Today

So then we headed over gymwards and I had my only class of the week. Good lord, it went well and I am getting stronger every week. In the middle of class Sam said "Getting up and down exercise" and pointed at.... and after doing it I can get back up more easily than getting down so falling over doesn't scare me quite as much now

And we did the standing up from your seat exercise too. First time I held on with my hand to help me stand up, the last 4 I just used my feet to lift me up. Stage by stage I am getting better

.... Across The Universe (1)

So me and SmallPaul went to Aardvark s'morning, parked across the road and left the wheelchair in the car. Didn't have quite as much to spend this week as we had been away half of last week but my Fridge is full once again

(1) (sings)Aardvarking, across the universe, boldly going forward 'cos I can't find reverse.....(/s)

Recess

So recessionary Paul is taking a wages cut to come in and work with me today

Gymming

And I had my first session at gym this week today, it went really well, I am stronger, stamina-ific etc

Back To Normal

So I woke up in my own bed s'morning, walked into kitchen etc. Back to normal.

Have got hours of work to do on photo's etc but......

Pooh

And I am sh*tting myself now.....

Shopping

And we went to that Tesco's place tonight and I bought a toothbrush to take with me to Belfast, not taking the electronic device I use every day here, and a new roll of kitchen roll, not urgent but I needed it and couldn't be bothered adding it to a list for next time we are in Morrison's

Right Hand Peely

And I used my right hand to peel a carrot that we had for dinner. I peeled some more but I wasn't able to finish owt with my right hand

But I did a whole carrot, from start to finish!!!!

More Reasons To Shop At....

Then today we did an early shop at Morrisons (noisy link) to get it out of the way b4 going away. The only strange thing was to buy 4 bread rolls (instead of usual 8) and put them straight into the freezer, we will be back late on Wednesday night so as long as I remember to take them out then I will be able to have lunch on Thursday

Mañana

So tomorrow we are going to Belfast for a few days.....

Going Away in a few days...

And I feel a bit strange as we are flying to Belfast on Sunday night.....
