The News

And every time I have seen "the news" today it has been full of eastern crises, dunno, I can't watch it, it makes me wanna cry....

For Sara

And I had my first session of 'Doing what Sara told me' so I did loadsa exercises to make my right leg stronger at the back. So I lay down and GGtGG strapped the weight onto my ankle....

Gym-ing

So we went to Sam's Gym Class over lunchtime and just wow, how much am I still recovering years after my accident

Aardvark-ing

So we nipped to Aardvark and walked from car across the road and in. There I got everything on my list, no problem etc

And Paul was so impressed with my French carrier  bag that he took a pic of me holding it

All The Better.....

So yesterday as Sara was leaving I went outside to wave and saw my neighbour who called across "How r u? I know, all the better for seeing me!" and Sara said "You say that to someone else do you.....?"

Sara-ing

So Sara the physio came today and did loads of exercise walks etc. Without my stick, sometimes she held my right hand to keep me more upright and sometimes not.

Then she did some Acupuncture which I had to leave in my arm and leg while I drank a cuppa tea and had a piece of Timmy's Birthday Cake eating and drinking with my right hand, as I couldn't move the left

And then we did loads of exercises to improve ...(?)... my quadrupeds.  I had to lie face down on't bed, someone would attach a weight to my ankle then I would lift my leg backwards, bending my knee

Crying

And I was watching a video about refugees and I actually started to cry part way through it

Some peoples lives are shi*ter than sh*t

The Parrot

And we went out to support a local business and it was a bit quiet. Only one muso showed up so he/they gotta play all night.

He was quite entertaining but a bit of variety would have been good

BUT I did stand up at the bar all night. Well no, I sat on a bar stool for about half an hour, stood up for the rest of the night

A Hacker

I have just come in, turned to my blog and there was an entry there that I hadn't posted. I have deleted it but my security has been compromised.

HELP if you can suggest owt

Dunno, I have changed the password, for the first time in ages, just dunno

Hooray

And we are blinking swimming again today, apparently the kids are back to school

I said "No, not til next week, not all the schools are back yet" but the staff laughed at my excuses, so....

Well it wasn't too bad, quietish pool and I did my loadsa exercise

Busy Morning

So first thing me and Alex headed into town to the post office*. There I posted Freya's shoes back to her mother who can return them once she gets back and Alex posted a parcel for his wife, an Ebay sale

Then we headed into Morrisons to pick up the freebee I had been emailed about, a bit disapointing

Then we headed to gym where I did loads on various machines, no music distracting me today

* No longer on King Street, they share with W.H. Smith now

Further Concentration

It was only for an hour tonight but I was able to concentrate on the whole Wallace & Gromett again tonight

Dinner

And for dinner tonight I cooked boiled new potatoes with stuff, they were ready at the same time as everything else and a bit delicious

Hedge Trimmers

So we headed into B&Q s'afternoon and I bought some hedge cutters, a plug in variety. As GGtGG had to bring his in to cut my hedge last time I thought I had better get some to keep here

Carmarthen Before Lunch

So we headed into town and had a bimble about. I was surprised at how many folk were eating in restaurants and just bimbling about - it's a bank holiday

On TV Today

So watching Wallace and Gromit in The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit and it is unusual but very good/funny

(New link BTW)

And more to the point I was able to concentrate and watch it for the whole hour and a quarter it lasted!!

Snank Boliday

A busy day in Sir Gaerfyrddin

Surprise Visitors

Then Toby and my old friend Julie came to see me, said "Lets go to the pub for lunch?" but I had just finished my lunch but we went to the pub(*) and watched them eat, then we watched them play pool.

We had to get off then, my bath and nap were calling

(*) Orange juice and lemonade for me,  drank alcohol last night

And Toby also said that he is doing his CBT soon, he wants a motorbike. Dunno how that makes me feel

Day

So we went out s'morning looking for a measuring jug but we couldn't find one small enuf

Then we came home for lunch then headed into town to look at B&M shop, parked and on the way found a band playing at the castle, The Mini Cwtch it was called, we are heading off to the big Cwtch next week, this was just an advertising do but the bands we saw were excellent

And after that I cooked roast veg and today I chopped all the veg using my right hand. All of it, I didn't even hold the knife in my left hand once

Confusion

Then Ruth and Julie didn't come over today as life was too hectic for them but that meant we were able to have Na'an Bread Pizza and Chips for tea which did cheer me up slightly
