Fathers Day

Which it is tomorrow, who is the letter from that has been sitting on my table for 2 days?

Death

So I downloaded another Terry Prat-sh*t novel to read yesterday but it is about dying from terminal disease etc so I well like it but I have to take it in small doses. It is called "Shaking Hands With Death" (noisy link)

Out

So while we were out we just drove around a bit as it is such a lovely day, stopped for diesel in a station that doesn't have those pay by the pump fittings as it is no longer an issue. I just walk in and pay.

Aargh

So s'morning "we" decided to change the end bit on my walking stick. We took it off, got another one out of the drawer and it wouldn't fit. Neither would the other in the drawer. So we headed down to Cantre Mobility by the railway station and bought a few more, trying them on before we left

Light

So I got up for a pee at 10 to 5 s'morning and it was already light, the sun had come up

Gymning

So we headed over to gym s'morning, to my proper once a week class.

Who?

So my diary said "Timmy" today but I was puzzled when GGtGG appeared instead. Apparently Timmy changed the diary as he wants to go to his sons first sports day at school but he hadn't told me

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
