Unexpected Shopping

And this evening I was about to start cooking when I realised that the "Timmy burgers" I had bought were looking sad without bread rolls, I went to the bread-bin, looked at tomorrows rolls and realised that they were much too small for the burgers. So we nipped out and bought more. Got some petty cash cleaner etc while we were out

Swimless

And I have got off swimming today (Hooray) because a) I really complained last time, and b) it's the school holidays so it's gonna be full of kids etc

Right. Well as I had no swimming I actually got stuck into the exercises like a normal gym exerciser. I put weight up by 10 kg on most of them and just went for it. With a visible layer of sweat on my face at the end

Cooking

And I was chopping the roastable veg tonight. I managed to peel all items and chop all of them with my right hand.

And it was cooked well tonight, none raw and undercooked and none burned/overcooked.

Yum yum, it was nice tonight

Ooh

And MightyMark came into work today, said "Morning" then immediately got stuck into sawing the legs off the outside seat in the front garden so it now fits properly without having to be propped up on one leg

Dinner

And I asked Ed "Want roasted veg or casserole?" so he said "Casserole", I chopped up all the veg with my right hand and remembered all the ingredients tonight so it was actually a bit lovely

First Time In 12⅔ Years

So after bath today I went to put my jumper on. As usual (since my accident) I went to put my right arm in first. I thought "No, see if you can...." and put my left arm in first. I used to be stuck at this point and need to take if off and put my right arm in first as it wasn't flexible enough to reach/stretch. But today I just put my left arm in first and then put my right arm in. It was slightly more difficult than doing it t'other was round but only slightly. My right shoulder is so much better than it was last time I tried....

Weather

No, I don't think we should try The National Botanic Gardens today, it's f***ing raining

Dinner

Then I cooked the usual Friday dinner of na'an bread pizza and chips. While I was making the pizza I was puzzled, I nearly called Alex and said "What's missing?" but no. I prepared the na'an, coated it with cheese, garlic, onion and mushroom, put it in the oven and when the timer said 2 minutes it suddenly occurred to me, tomato purée. Duh. The "cheese on toast" didn't taste too bad but it wasn't the pizza that I have been looking forward to all day

Quiet

So as we didn't have to go to Aardvark s'morning we had an unexpectedly quiet morning but in a bit we have to go to my weekly session in the gym class, hopefully with Sam

And as Alex just pointed out to me this is the last gym class of 2015 today.....

And we did gym. Sam wouldn't give me "missing you already" kiss for Christmas. But she did notice summat and said "You couldn't do that last week"

Oops Out

And we are heading out to an unexpected Folk Night at Caffe Iechyd Da, Carmarthen, I had forgotten etc

Shopping

So we headed into Aardvark and did loadsa shopping but they had no mince meat to make mincepies so we had to call into Morrisons and pick up some. I had almost nothing on my list for there on Monday so I just did my whole shopping today too

Well Fit

Then I headed to gym, without my 'chair, and did the cycle for 10km exercise. It was the fastest time I have ever done it in today and I wasn't trying too hard, obviously my general level of fitness is improving

Pub

And we headed down to the pub and had a pleasant chatty time

Again

Right, off swimming in a bit

Hoo~fscking~ray

I Own It Now

So I can do as many "decorations" as I want

Mint Spys

Then we headed into town to fetch some of the ingredients for the mince pies I am making next week with Alex. I will buy mince and eggs in Aardvark on Thursday but I got flour and unsalted butter and a baking tray etc today

Scared

So s'morning me and Alex went to gym to do sum exercises. As I am getting better, and trying to get betted still, I climbed the stairs to gym today. While I was half way thru my first exercise it suddenly went "Beep, beep..." there was a fire alarm. So we had to leave the building by the stairs not the lift this time. So after 10 minutes in the gentle rain outside we were allowed back in. I thought "..." and climbed the stairs again partly to prove to me how much better I am. Then we went in and finished my exercises. Then we headed out thru force of habit I got in the lift, headed down got there and came straight back up and walked down the stairs to prove to myself that 2 ups and 2 downs is possible and I could still walk back out afterwards

Space

And everything is on hold now and I am watching telly as the astronauts are about to take off to the space station.

I am a bit puzzled as I was too ill to be aware when it first went up. Previously the last space missions were in 1969 (when I was born) and onwards from there

Hooray

And me and GGTGG went swimming today and I had as much fun as usual. Doing so I noticed that I am getting better in... a way but I can't be positive about swimming at all

Right Hand

Just WOW, cooking tonight I chopped 4 or 5 things with my right hand. The reason I say wow is just that it is so much better/easier than it was last week which was so much easier than the week before etc
