Wasn't Bad

And tonight's Ed dinner wasn't too bad, wasn't my favourite but wasn't bad. Too much squash but wasn't too bad

Watching Cricket

And the Ashes cricket isn't on BBC telly much to my disgust, "someone" said t'other day "Ah, but you have a link saved to watch it without paying" and lo and behold, I checked today and perfectly legal freebie I am watching

Impressive

So Ed got stuck into fixing the bathroom window, the one that GGtGG looked at and said "No, not fixable" but he fixed it. I still need to pay somebody to fix the spare bedroom window as he had to nick the opening handle of that to fix the bathroom one but its fixed now

Dinner Tomorrow

And we are having an Ed dinner tomorrow.....

Pizza

And we had the usual na'an bread pizza for Friday tea and it was as nice as it usually is

In The Bathroom

So in the bathroom after my bath I can reach down and dry both legs without any holding on with my other hand to balance me, my balance &c is simply so much better than it used to be

Nipped Out

Then after lunch we nipped out to Morrisons, because..... because the na'an bread I had bought for tonight's pizza had broken, and as I bought a jar of lentil soup that me and Ed can have on Sunday with the broken na'an bread and no sweet potatoes I thought we may as well buy more today. So I got most of the little shopping that was on the list apart from next weeks na'an bread and next weeks salad so I will nip to shop on Monday and just buy those 2 things

Friday Business

Yes, again......

Well, we did a triple shop.

First of all we went to Aardvark and did my weeks shopping, then we nipped to Wilko's and got some compost so the sunflower can move to a bigger pot, then we nipped into Morrisons and had to buy the one ingredient I need to cook with Ed tomorrow that they didn't have in Aardvark. So we have done it all and still have time to sit in front of my PC for half an hour b4 we nip to my gym class that happens every Friday

MegaWalk

So we went to town for a walk s'afternoon, he pushed my wheelchair in case I needed it but I didn't, up one street, across and down the next then back to the car

Recording

And I did a recording t'other day of recording stuff on my phone, I am practicing so I can use it any time I am talking to an official, there will be no query, I have proof

Quiet-ish

And I am having a quiet day today as there is a team meeting going on here, Denyse and the team are all arriving independently to slag me off &c (1)

Well I sat in for the first couple of hours, it was reasonably OK, but Denyse asked me to leave so they can slag me off or whatever then

(1) Sorry, "independently to discuss my needs &c" is what I meant but it didn't make for such an entertaining read

Walkies

And I asked Timmy to push my wheelchair in, up the steps etc, last night, in case I needed it. When we got in it was folded in the corner, I sat on a stool at the bar, later we went round the bigger room for the quiz, I sat in a proper seat. Sometimes I walked back from the bar with my beer held in my right hand (after I had drunk an inch off the top) other times I carried my beer in my left hand and held my walking stick in my right. This was a bit mind boggling but I did it

Out Tonight

And me and Timmy are going to the pub up the road for a pub quiz tonight

And we came last in the quiz.....

Shopping

And me and Timmy headed out today to the Farm Foods shop for a) Some Findus Crispy Pancakes and (Shhh) b) Some Ice Cream treats

6km

And as Timmy forgot to bring his swimming trunx today we went to gym and I got on a bike to do "further cycling" instead of my usual timed. It took a bit longer but I travelled 6km

And my right ankle was being strange, it sayt properly without turning over and for the 2nd half of the cycle it was sitting in a "proper" position

Learning About BI

And 2 of my staff are off on a course today to learn how to nag me better etc, it's about Learning Strategies for Brain Injury sufferers

Went To See

So I was sitting outside while GGtGG was cutting grass when my neighbour, 2 doors to the left, was out. I thought "Tell her that joke" and was about to push myself in wheelchair round. I thought "No" stood up and walked round. When I spoke to her she invited me around to see her garden, I walked around the back of her house. And walked all the way home too

Pointless

So we nipped to the surgery to see the Diabates Nurse who was quite positive about me but couldn't find the results of my blood test on 30th of last month so we nipped to the hospital and had more taken and we have instructions to just phone the nurse next Tuesday or Thursday to get the rest of my results, but she seemed positive already

Damn It Janet....

Then after lunch today I am off to see Janet the diabetes nurse who is gonna take the temp of my feet etc

Gymtastic

Well we went to gym and I did various machines. Good lord but I am improving

On the bike I did a 30 second fast section instead of the previous 2 x 15 seconds, I did manage it now but I was too knackered to continue after I had done the second
