Struggle On

And I have been a bit pi**ed off with having to carry stuff about today but I just did it. On my own two feet...

What Fun....

And we are off to the swimming pool in a bit....

(not real photo, somewhere else)

So we went and mostly I am just astonished at how well my right foot is kicking water away.  So because swimming is so much easier/faster I did all 8 lengths, easily

And I was nervous about being able to walk afterwards, but I tried it on the way out of the 'pool to the car and that gave me some confidence so we got home and I just walked

BUT  even tho it has been fixed for a week it was the first time I have sat in my "normal" wheelchair since it was fixed and just wow, it's wide enuf etc

Sunday Shop

And as Sunday is my usual Supermarket Day and I had already got my weeks shopping in Morrison's t'other day we headed off to Farmfoods. As we had to go past the driveway on the way we stopped at Morrison's first and I walked in, looked around and chose some snacks.

Then we drove down to Farmfoods and this time, as I had checked out distance etc t'other day I walked in and around, got 1 of the things we were after and a substitute for the other

Walking, both shops. Walking

Struggle, struggle, struggle

And I still does my head in, actually changing my bed then carrying the washing to the machine. I used to not walk at all one day of the weekend, the day when I had to carry this heavy box out, used to be wheelchair happy for 1 day. Used to be, used to be. My wheelchair doesn't come in the house at all nowadays...

Making Dinner

And once again I cooked on my own two feet. It is still a pain, but it does get a little bit easier every day

Currying

So I am cooking a curry tonight. It will be made from veg and a jar of sauce. Marginally nervous but I hope it will be nice

And it was nice. I was worried it was too runny, I had added too much water, but it tasted very good, I don't think it was too much actually.

So....

Yes......

The Weekend?

Is it really Saturday tomorrow? Where has the week gone?

Sneaky Shop

So as I finished the salad @ lunchtime I decided that if we needed salad I may as well get the other 3 or 4 things on my list for Sunday/Monday shopping so we did.

Again Alex said "No" to me asking him to push my chair behind us but yes, he was right, I can just walk the distance, all the way around the shop, not just the salad section by the door

And I suspect that someone criticised me for taking my chair into Farmfoods on Tuesday but I think that it is not much different to the dimensions of this shop so we will have to see when we are back

Proper Class

And I am off in a bit to my only weekly visit to a proper class at gym

So we arrived, walked up the stairs, walked all round for the class and did my 10 min cycle at the end. Then I used the lift to back down

Wheelchair stayed in the boot of the car

Expense

So me and Timmy headed to Aardvark and got the usual weeks shopping as well as an "add veg (or meat) curry" which I am gonna try instead of the casserole this week

And I had to give her my "Look how much I have spent in Aardvark" card as it was full with £20 to be paid back to me. She said that this was only the 3rd to be handed in so I obviously am an important customer

It's Fixed, Not That I Use It Much

So "the chappy" came and fixed my wheelchair s'morning. Not that I use it much but it's fixed anyway

Team Meeting

And (sigh) everyone was here for a "team meeting" this AM, I left them to it....

Becoming Habitual

So it is becoming a habit, to walk a short distance about my house without my walking stick. Every day and in every way noisy link I am getting SLIGHTLY better

Listen Timmy

Can it be true?

Fixers

And Timmy txted me and said "The wheelchair fixers are coming at some point tomorrow". That's quite good because I will be about all day tomorrow anyway as there is a team meeting happening

PoolFsckers

And "we" are heading to the swimming pool at lunchtime....

And we went and did it, it actually wasn't too unpleasant so...

No Garage Garden

And "he" announced yesterday that they had discussed to "garden in the garage" idea but as there is no drainage that was a no no. He sent me an email with a couple of alternatives but said "Don't buy these, wait 'til Wilko gets their spring items in, they will be much cheaper" and said that the plan is to put it at the RHS of the garage, on the piece that never gets driven on.

I think the 2nd link is the most appealing, wait and see. They will have to put a couple of breeze-blocks around near to the entrance and then it will be posh

Adblocker

When 'he' had to "reset" my email client all the Ads came back. So I went online, found AdBlocker and installed it. The ads were still there. So I panicked and gave up, figuring CleverITTimmy will be in here on Thursday. So tonight I just tried downloading it again and I noticed it said "This has been disabled by..... click to enable", clicked and tried restarting the email client. No fscking adverts, the big objectionable type, gone again now

Further Nuts Are We

Gosh, and I watched it for a number of hours again today....
