Hot Weather

So today it has been so warm so I installed a temp measurer device thing on my phone. Now, at a quarter to 11 it says "Indoors 31° Centigrade"

Now at 11 it sez 32°

After my query when Alex ate this on Tuesday I went back to Morrisons for tea (and my weekly shop too) and tried this. Yes, it was purely average a la Morrisons café but I so enjoyed eating it. I got a bit emotional, like "I used to really like this but it is about 15 years since I have had it (and I had an ABI etc etc) so I couldn't remember, until the first mouthful went in"

But yum yum

He Sais "Wedi Gorffen"

So tonight he has finished tiling the whole floor. It looks f'ing lovely. So tomorrow he has to grout the whole floor and fit the edge bits etc then he is finished.

Then I will owe him sum but I think....... it's worth it, this time

And s'evening I was walking about looking at the room, it feels so "not slippy underfoot" it is so much better

Performance

So first thing today I popped into Iechyd Da (we got the closest free disabled space on King St, no car park was involved this time) and fetched my delivery of orgy porgy veg etc.

Then I went to gym for a mega cycle.

Then we came home for lunch.

THEN we popped into town back to the chemist near the Drs and fetched my new sockings

Mega Cycle

Well it was written on my timetable to cycle for an hour today but I thought "No......" and said "Just 20 minutes but going AFAF". So usually I travel 3.9 or 4 km in 20 minutes, today I broke into a sweat and cycled just over 5 km.

Dinner Out

And tonight we popped out for dinner to somewhere close to where I usedta live and currently not far away from Freya but I was astonished. A) it was really nice and tasty and B) it cost next to nothing, but it tasted like quality food, not cheap rubbish

Bank

And I was a bit thrown out by Lloyds Bank s'morning. I queued up, gave the woman my cash card and said "Can I have X hundred quid, please" she said "Type your pin number" and counted out the cash for me

So I needn't have taken my passport as the only proof of ID that I have now that I no longer have a driving licence

Missing Her Already

And we popped into town s'morning and forgot that the chiropodist was coming to cut my toenails. The floor layer told me when we got back

Almost Painless

And when he creamed my armpits tonight it was hurting perhaps only 2% of how much it was hurting 3 nights ago. It is still unwell but getting better and I still have 3 days on antibiotics.

Here's hoping...

Out For Dinner

Then tonight we are going out for the first "someone else's kitchen" food. Dunno where we are going tonight, I will leave it up to Alex(1)

And we just went to Morrison's for tea and we both said "That was lovely" afterwards. And it was relatively cheap. £13 for the 2 of us with 2 apple juices, 2 coffees and 2 buns between us

(1) No, my call actually, in the end

Weirdo Lunch

And we had lunch in the spare room today then. It all went well, I could find everything etc but it felt so strange

What A Day #27

So after the crisis s'morning, we popped to Morrison's where I bought the smallest Muesli I could find as more organic is being delivered on Thursday, then to the gym to do lifty/pushy exercises. On one of those machines, I asked Ed for advice, I said "I suspect that my right arm is lifting as far as the left now, is it?" and he said "Yes". It still hurts to move it like this but if it now moves nearly as far as the left summat must be improving

Thrown Out

So s'morning I had breakfast in the spare room and just as I finished the floor redo-er arrived. Conversation, then he shut the door and got to work. ATM there is big noisiness coming under the door s he struggles to remove all the tiles and carpet

And you should hear him drilling (noisy WS)

He has finished drilling now, so phew

Out

Earlier s'evening I did more preparation for the tile layer coming tomorrow then said "Can't stand it, gotta get out" then we went to a pub on King St (My local was shut, it's Monday) and had a couple of pints

Then when we came back I had to go into the spare room to prepare breakfast for tomorrow, that I will be eating in there

Breath.....

And today GGtGG came in an hour early so him and MM could get stuck into moving the heavy machines out of the kitchen etc as the chap is starting tomorrow so I will be out of there for the rest of the week

And Timmy just txted me from Malta to say "Tiler has just txted me, he will be with you by 8.30 in't morning"

Getting Better

And while GGTGG rubbed cream onto my armpits s'morning it still hurt a bit but 97 times less than yesterday so it is improving

Bank Holiday

So today is a bank holiday. That means no gym as it will be full of kids who are off school for the day etc, hopefully BTN Tuesday
