Suggestion

And "someone" suggested that instead of watching the rugger on t'telly here tonight that we head into The Ivy Bush Hotel and watch it on their big screen and have dinner out while watching the rugger

So we will have tonights planned dinner tomorrow

And we did go, had a lovely dinner in nice surroundings with a good (but not raucous) crowd, but we did get to watch Wales losing rugby

And for the first half of a half I sat in the proper low down chairs until I got uncomfortable and moved back to my wheelchair.  I was shitting myself, I tried to stand up, failed, thought "Erm...." but just managed the second time. But a few weeks ago I wouldn't have been able to manage standing from such a low starting point

And I had a pee, went out, watched the rugby for 2 hours (give or take..). and didn't need another pee until I had been back in the house for 10 or 20 minutes. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about fairly regularly but last year I would have been out of the hotel room 2 or 3 times during the 2 hrs of a match

Friday Dinner

So tonight I made 2 pizza's as usual on Friday but also had to boil some pasta and microwave some pasta sauce from the freezer as Mark was working on a learner basis too

Class

And then we all went to my gym class which went well, even tho Sam is on holiday today.

On the step over device which I usually have to put my right foot round instead of over, they had put some lower tiles in every other go. So I was able to step over each one, alternating right and left feet

Aardvarking With.....

So Mark is gonna come to Aardvark with me and GGtGG so he will learn how to park/shop etc.

I have got a slightly bigger shopping list than usual as "me and my staff" are cooking more from Monday

Extra Hand

So today Timmy is working with the newbie Mark

Team Meeting

So today I have gotta try and mind my own business as Denyse and potentially the whole team are coming here for a "team meeting"

And I sat in for the first hour but have been asked to leave now so......

Went Out

And because he was at a..... me and GGtGG went up the street to the pub tonight. I was complaining about not being able to get in on Thursday for the Rugger World Cup and she did say that someone else (she wasn't working last Thursday) had opened, perhaps just with the door around the side as.......

Hooray For 'Wimming

And we (me and GGtGG) are off to the swimming pool in a bit.....

And he did manage to get me doing sum breaststroke

And I won't be coming to gym tomorrow as there is a "team meeting" happening in my house

I'm So Lucky...

In Town

So we headed into town s'evening because "I'm bored" but we did find ourselves shopping and bought a wig to wear to Rocky Horror Show in a quid shop

Jimming

Then after our shopping trip we headed into the gym where I did 5 machines then 4 and a big bit KM on the bike

Chemist

Then first thing we had to head over to the chemist that didn't have everything on my 'script yesterday to finalise that and it was done

I walked from the car, to chemist(*) and back

(*)Down the scary slopy bit etc

Made It Work

So s'morning I video taped the Dancing Flower that the postman brought yesterday

Batman

And for tonight's dinner I am trying that made from scratch pasta sauce

To The Docs

Then we had, all 3 of us, to head to the Drs to pick up a 'script for cream, because it was raining I wheelchaired instead of walking, then down to the chemist  to pick them up. They gave me an "owes you" 'script for 1 piece, so tonight or tomorrow we will be back

'Wimming Again

And this time I am taking the "teach disabled folk to swim" new MOS swimming so.....

And it went OK, we took out list of exercises to so and did them then I did 3 lengths breast stroke. Dunno why it wouldn't work t'other day, perhaps I just need a Timmy in the water or summat

Shaving

And I had my first "Shave your whole face the same" shave today

To Be Continued

Aargh, I watched yesterday's Dr Who s'morning, it was excellent but it says "To be continued" at the end......

More reasons to shop...

So I needed to go and buy more salad before lunchtime tomorrow and some bits, but as it's Timmy working in the morning and he will be grumpy about my looking for Quorn Sausages and Chopped Onion eg I decided that we better go tonight
