Less Busy Nooneraft

Then I watched the football twixt Wales and England until 10 mins before the end when I couldn't stand any more tension. While I was in the bath MM shouted that England had scored a-fscking-gain

Busy Morning

So I have done everything in my diary for today s'morning. So first of all I headed to Iechyd Da and picked up my organic delivery. Came here to put it away.

Then headed over to gym and did loadsa lift and kick exercises finished off with 5 minutes on a exercise your hands pedal this machine which I don't think I could do last time I tried it

Then after 10 mins in the house we headed off to Morrison's and did my weeks shopping.

Then we came back here for lunch

Watch It

Gordy, I watch almost no TV but this made me switch on tonight and just wow, watch it

I was most impressed during all the really impressive (and unsettling) stuff by a video of a teenaged gorilla being given 3 cushions which he stacked up one on top of the other then climbed up and was able to reach a balloon from the ceiling

Drowning

And hooray but me and Timmy are off to the swimming pool in a bit for my weekly Aqua Aerobics class. Just overwhelming hooray and hurrah

So me and Timmy got stuck in and did it. It was OK. This week we didn't seem to do any of the exercises that I had an issue with, I could just do it all. Dunno if that means we were just lucky with what she chose or whether I am getting better and more able. 

Duckduckgo on 'phone

And I asked Timmy s'morning. I was on duckduckduck.com/app to try and get the secret search engine on my mobile, but Timmy said "NO, go to Google Play Store and d/l it from there, like that is almost the only place on the 'net to download safe programs from"

Paint The House-er

Then later another painter/decorator came to look at the job of painting the outside of the house. I feel relatively positive and hopefully he will meet my requirements. His Facebook page seems positive etc so he will get in touch ASAP. He is too busy to do it immediately which is a good sign

And I did get it s'evening. Obviously he wasn't painting tonight

More Reason...

And we popped out to the supermarket s'afternoon to pick up a few "in cupboard, use many times" goods that I forgot last Thursday

Showin' Off

And I went to gym s'morning and got stuck into sweaty exercising. I had to throw away 2 sweat soaked tissues that I had been using to dry my face afterwards. Today, despite "being unhealthy and not exercising" in Belfast instead of exercising here last week, today  I managed 10km on a bike. Faster than I have exercises measured m'self  before

Week before last, last time I did this exercise, I could only manage 6.5km.

Bears

So I saw this piece in The Guardian so I searched online for "Japan bear video" to see if I could find owt but the results were a bit of a shock to the system

Not Cooking

So tonight "we" are going out for a meal at the renamed restaurant in town. Courtesy of Headway, they are having some "we've been open for ages" celebration

Well, there was only 1 veggie thing on the menu so I had ordered that. I was a bit doubtful but it was actually rather delicious. So a good night. Some folk that haven't seen me for ages said "Where's your wheelchair" etc

And one of the delicious bits tonight was the parsnips

(Sigh)

(Double sigh)

So we are off to the swimming pool in a bit with my extra "work harder" swimming instructor

Aargh. Well it was as much fun as usual. Today I managed 8 lengths with flippers and a float and I managed 1 breadth with nowt on, just kicking and moving my arms

A Bit Embarrassed re Last Week

And a bit embarrassed re last weeks trip to NIreland. It turns out that my Dad paid for the hotel for the 3 of us

Out

And today's trip out was to Farmfoods where I walked the whole way back and forward to get some Sweet Potato Oven Chips and some garlic bread rather than shortcutting between the 'tils so it was a little bit theraputic

Speaking of therapiutic, this time I carried my shopping basket the whole way round, when it was full of heavy shopping and all, didn't pass it to Timmy when it got a bit full

Out For Dinner

And I was just looking thru my diary for next week and it turns out that me&MM are out for dinner next Monday courtesy of Headway, they are having a once a year dinner

Angela-ing

So I have had my temp MOS. Angela working today. It has been a bit odd but is generally going OK, I haven't been too smutty.....

We went out s'morning and just had a look around Carmarthen and it's neighbours. We popped into Cwrt Henri (the first place we lived in Wales), then we popped down past Dryslwyn Castle (stopped for a few mins to show it off), across the River Towy then came back along the old A40 (now it's called B4300) to Carmarthen

S'afternoon we popped out again and had a walk around town, up hill around the back of Woolworth's, past Iechyd Da, back down from King Street

Rugger

And 3/4 of the way through the Wales v New Zealand rugger match Wales are winning

But while I was typing this NZ scored a try to win the score

No some foreigners won. Bother

But "we" did win a football so......

Which Buttons Where?

Ah, it said at the bottom of your screen but that actually meant in the middle at the side

BackToNorm

So yesterday (day before now) after I came back we did shopping etc then I got stuck into sorting out photos etc and it took me all night. Yesterday I couldn't find time to read any Ixion, the mailing list that I read mainly, but today I was able to get back into my routine

Praise

So at gym today I was thinking "Lord, am I moving faster this week?". Then later in the day MM said to me that I looked like I was moving quicker, so obviously I am. He also said that I seem to be walking more "evenly", less lopsidedly

Gym

Well I went and had my weekly gym class today which I was a bit nervous about having been resting this week but I think that long walks etc have kept fitness and health up. I went to the class and just did it like normal

Sam announced half way thru the class that I was a Mwnci drwg
