Out

And we went out tonight to Club Iechyd Da

And it was well busy (so just as well I insisted on being too early as we got a good seat) and just full of very talented players/singers. Very very impressive

We took my wheelchair which was pushed there, and was there so I could sit on it, I walked to the bar/loo and back to King St to the car afterwards

Walking

And as Denyse was here s'morning I asked her if I was doing right walking stickless. Unexpectedly (to me anyway) she said "No". Apparently as I am unsure etc my right leg stays much straighter etc. So I am looking better with my stick. For now

Washing Up

And after lunch today I did the washing up as we are going out to play at Caffi Iechyd Da tonight

OK, not play, spectate

Cut

Now because GGtGG is working a double today and tomorrow before Ed the hair cutter is working on Sat, he is gonna try cutting my hair so Ed can criticise him etc. As Ed is leaving next month so it may be GGtGG's duty so he can check it over.

BUT as I will be at the Drs for a jab tomorrow followed by my gym class etc we better do it today. So soon....

Off Topic

So Denyse is coming here today to do some OT work with me. (Off Topic, or Occupational Therapy) Dunno exactly what this implies, I will find out soon

And she was here talking just generally about how much better I am getting and how I need to start "getting a life" etc. And she also talked about what I can cook in case I had forgotten 

Kindle

And I have just finished the book that I have been reading on my Kindle for the last 10 days/fortnight. I was reading The Galapagos Incident and I really liked the SF tone.

I have got another Adrian Mole (noisy link) book to start tomorrow which I am rather looking forward to....

Walking About Stickless

Last night I had just left my 'stick at the other side of the kitchen, and today I went out of the front door with my 'stick held up in my right hand off the ground and walked (more slowly than usual) all the way across the front of the house and around the corner to my car door. All the way

Aqua Aerobics

And we headed off to gym s'afternoon for this. It was as much fun as last time although we did less of the walking forwards with a held in front oblong float which proved so difficult last time

Electrical Cleverness

So Clever Timmy came in s'morning. First of all he had to reconnect my PC to the ethernet connection which is much faster etc.

Then he had to try plugging in the Amazon Fire TV connection that me and Alex had failed to connect at all. He got that working so now I have loadsa channels/programmes/films to watch

Then he got stuck into mending my TV (the one that had just had the Fire TV connected) to make it make sense, where is BBC1 etc

Chicken Dinner

And today, for the first time this year, I have actually finished all this years games, won*them. The 2nd January game was proving a bit tricky but I finally won it s'morning

Dinner

And I thought "Ah, take some curry out of the freezer for dinner tonight" but then I thought "Oh, it's Alex working tonight and he doesn't like my curry" so we had preprepared summat else for tea

At The Docs

So we headed for the Drs first thing. We parked over by the chemist and I walked from there to the Drs. I waited there for 5 mins, on my feet, while the queue went on, then I waited for another 5 minutes while she found my 'script, then another 5 minutes while she looked for another 'script for me. Despite having 3 items, ordered at the same time they were written two on one 'script and one on the second. Then I walked back out of the Drs and across and down to the chemist. I sat and waited for more 5 minutes then I walked back out to the car.

From there we drove to gym, again I walked in and this time up the stairs to the exercise room. I did 3 or 4 exercises, I suspect that it was the first time I have managed to do my full time on the hand bike, then walked back down the stairs and out

Odd Memory

As someone who suffered an ABI it occasionally takes my breath away what phrases I will use, appropriately, in conversation

Cuwwy

And we had my second portion of curry for tea tonight. We finished it off, it was delicious.

But I can't remember what else I usedta cook, apart from curry and lasagne

Wimming

And we are going off swimming in a bit....

And oh what fun we had. I immediately did 6 lengths then some exercises then 2 more, we were finished really quickly.

So we are going back to the aqua aerobics class on Wednesday......

Walkies

And today I left my stick behind and just walk to the loo without it

Nervous

And leaving my PC for how long last night... but it still works s'morning, so phew etc

Curry

And I have been standing in the kitchen cooking an enormous pot of curry all afternoon....... eat it soon

PC Crisis

And after my nap it had stopped working. At 8 pm I had been too stressed to read my novel and Alex fixed it in a way that he can't recall either, but it works now.

Fixed It

And that Timmy chap came in s'morning, leaving his wife and daughter in the car as they were on their way swimming, and fixed the Interweb in about 3 seconds. I had downloaded some Adblocker software* and it didn't agree with my 'puter at all

* Adblocker for Facebook apparently

And it is nearly bath & nap time and I haven't read any of my novel yet. That was just about all I could do....
