Garlic Bread

And I had the first piece out of a packet of garlic bread that I bought this week tonight, and it was.... interesting. It didn't just taste like bread there was definitely some flavour on it, nice flavour

Off In A Bit

And we are off swimming in a bit.....

And it went OK. Exercising etc, it's done

But I did walk all the way from parking my chair by the wall, I walked all the 8 or 9 full sized steps worth of distance to the edge of the pool by myself, Timmy had gone to get some stuff so I just walked

Muscle Memory

And just WOW, even tho I am not currently wearing my FES the muscle memory(1) in my right foot is working, it is so impressive

(1) Ed the nurse was in yesterday and he reminded me of this phrase....

Quiet But Busy

And I had lots on my "to do" list but I have done most already and it's not even 10 yet

Ooooooh

And after looking myself for a number of hours I asked Ed if mobile phone font differences were possible, he said "No, just resize the page when u r looking at it" and 5 minutes later I had come across the piece of "<head><meta name=" that I needed to add, so from now all my webpages will be mobile phone readable but look exactly the same on a PC

Dirk

And I have just watched the second episode of Dirk Gently that's been shown so far and VVVVVBG. The third episode will be out at some stage this week and I am looking forward to it already. I haven't felt like this about TV since my accident......

No, according to that Interweb the whole series has been shown, looking for it.....

Cooking With Ed

So today Ed has decided that we are gonna cook a new dish that I have never tried before. I am marginally nervous but quite excited too, it's a new skill, a new technique, kind of rolling up the peppers.

I have been shopping and the ingredients are in the fridge/cupboard....

Aargh, after napping I can safely say that the recipe has disappeared, looking for a similar, no luck

Well the improvisation is in the oven now, looks a bit lovely

We improvised with our ingredients and this, although you didn't have to skin the peppers etc it was lovely, we only had 1 pepper each so tomorrow....... etc

And Ed was about to cut the peppers to start, I had to say "No, rehabilitation"

chopped them, put most of the cheese mix in with my right hand,

and enjoyed cooking summat different

(Double AARGH) The web page seems to be back now.....(/DA)

Screenshoting

Of my mobile phone, not my PC

Out Shopping

So we nipped out to get some toothbrush heads from Wilko and while we were there we found that small tubes of mouthwash which are half the size of bigger tubes (which I normally buy) were ⅓ of the price.

While we were out we thought "May as well" and nipped down to Farm Foods to get some cheapies

Saturday

Another busy day....... erm...... another day anyway

Micro Shop

And we nipped to Morrison's to buy more salad, just that today. On Monday I will do my weeks shopping there (for the 4 or 5 items that I haven't bought in Aardvark)

Gym

And I went to gym even tho Sam wasn't working today but chappy did loads of exercises and I even had a go on the bike there, much tighter than the ones outside but I managed

-ing

And I did the most of my weeks shopping in Aardvark, left 'chair in't car and walked there.

Eating Cut

And last night at Iechyd Da I had a veggieburger and some potato thingies, cut up into 1/4s and fried. So I was presented with a bowl of these potatoes, all of which needed cutting. I looked at it, thought "....." and then just got stuck in, fork in left hand and knife in the right. I have been able to do this for a while but I am still scarred by not being able to do it for so long..... it is no problem now, I can just do it

Gym

And me and Timmy went to gym. I got stuck into the 4 lifty exercises that are in the same machine, then did a 20 minute 4km cycle

Iechyd Da-ing

So we are going off to a folk club (noisy link) tonight......

And a good time was had, it seemed to be a good session, plenty of good tunes etc

Smug

As a bug, in a rug

-ing

Then late on s'afternoon we headed to Aardvark. We bought some goats cheese and some raisins for the recipe I am cooking at the weekend and got some bogroll while we were there and a few bananas to increase my supply 'til Friday when I go and do my weeks shopping.

 (Normal weeks, no goats cheese or raisins etc)

Deep Sigh

Then we (me&GGtGG) went swimming. Again it got quieter after we were in.

Strange, I was trying to hop from foot to foot, as usual my left foot/ankle worked but the right wouldn't. BUT I realised that didn't need to bunny hop from ankle to ankle, if I bend my knee it is easy, both legs work, hopping from foot to foot

Chemist

So we nipped to the Drs s'morning, I left my chair in't car and walked in and picked up my script. I then walked to the chemist and was just about to walk down the scary slope when a MOS came out, and told me and another disabled chap who was just getting out of his car (that's why she came out, she saw him and I caught up), she told us no chemist was in operation, there won't be one until tomorrow so we have given her the 'script and need to go back and collect it tomorrow

(GGtGG had gone to the car and got my 'chair out after the Drs, but I hadn't sat in it yet, it was in case I couldn't walk back to the car after chemists)

Then much later (nearly closing time) we went back to the chemist. I left my 'chair in the car and walked in. There was a "Wait 20 minutes" issue so I headed to the back of the chemist and sat down. In 20 minutes I just stood up and got my cream. BUT it occurs to me, just WOW, a while ago I wouldn't have been able to do the sitting down and getting back up, now I don't even think of it, I just do it!!!
