Close All

So Timmy said there was no way of closing multiple tabs at once on my mobile phone. I thought "There must be" but couldn't find a way but Timmy looking thru the links I had got looking suddenly said "Ah, yes, click on the number of tabs number then click the dots at the top of the screen and then click 'Close All'"

Duh, between the two of us we couldn't find owt but we did it together in the end

Mega Cycle

So we headed down to gym today and I did a 10km cycle. Today I beat my fastest time so another record.

I was gonna say "Enough" after 6 and 8 KM but I just stuck with it

T&C

Then later we headed down to Farmfoods and bought some more tea and coffee for the staff.  "We" also bought some sugar for them which makes me think "Well I stopped...." but there you are. I carried the basket the whole way round the shop but I was struggling with it at the end. However we queued and paid then I carried the bag out, that was so much easier. Obviously it is just the gripping things with my hand that I struggle with

'Wimming

So then we headed down to the pool. I was a bit nervous that she would make me pay for the second adult accompanying me but she didn't.

The only thing I can talk about is not using my wheelchair at all. Walked in, got changed, walked from there to pool etc

BUT if I do this for a few weeks more then I will 

be able to say that I no longer use a wheelchair.

And (crazy thought) give it back 

Roasty

So I went to open the packet of nut roast that's in't freezer t'other night when I looked at the back of the packet and read "Serves 4". I thought "Oh no, who can I give it to" but last night it occured to me that next week I will have to feed me, a MOS and Roy all at the same time, so at a guess we can manage 1.3 portions each.

Eat less next day to keep my diet going but......

[sigh]

So s'morning MM came in an hour early so he can tell Timmy how he has been getting on over the last few months. It's part of Timmy's role.

THEN l8r Roy is coming in for the first of his "shadow shifts" where he will just be seeing what my team do to get him up to speed with his first proper shift in a few weeks. Part of the plan is to come to the 'wimming pool with us and just sit around and spectate. Next week his role will involve coming into the changing room with me etc

Deliverer

And because I had f**ked up and not said "Deliver it by Royal Mail" a chap came round s'afternoon, on a Sunday, and delivered the new lights for outside that the fox had eaten half of

It Was

And Linda, my neighbour, was telling me s'morning that it was a fox nibbling on my chair and the decorations 2 nights ago. It was about 4.30 AM when she saw it

Cleaning

So GGtGG got stuck into cleaning up all the birds mess from my porch, as they have gone. First of all he shovelled off the sh*t, then went up a ladder to clean off the nest (as we are having a decorator in before the birds will be back) then got stuck into steam cleaning. At which point I had to come indoors as the spray was very... spray like

Then he was just steam cleaning the whole outside at the front of the house. I didn't realise how grubby it had got until one corner looked well clean when he had finished

And cleaning the car too, he is

The Wrong Day

Ant today me and Andrea popped over to the Docs to pick up my 'script (with directions from me, she isn't from round here) then on the way back she said "Gym" and we went and did loadsa machines as Sam is on holiday so there is no class this week.

But it has made today feel like "Not Friday"

Out

Iechyd Daing again. It was good apart from the dull as..... electrical chaps who played in the middle. After a few minutes everyone was ignoring them and chatting amongst themselves. As ever I took some photos but no need to publish them. They are just the same again

End Of Busyness

So s'morning we went shopping and gymwards and that was the last of my couple of weeks of being way too busy. S'evening there is a folk night at Caffi Iechyd Da and tomorrow there is no gym class.

And one of the MOS for the cafe said tonight "No wheelchair, I gave never seen you walk".

Busy Morning

So we got stuck in s'morning and did my whole days worth of diary events. So now, after the washing up, I can relax until we pop out to The Folk Night at Caffi Iechyd Da

So we picked up organic veg that is delivered to Caffi Iechyd Da with their organic veg order, popped to Morrisons and got my weeks worth of top up, went to the gym and did half hour on the bike (5km today) then came home to eat lunch

{sigh}

And so we are off to Aqua Aerobics in a bit......

And we did it, it was as much fun as ever but the biggest story is I didn't use my wheelchair again, just walkies on an unstable, ungrippy floor 

All Gone

And the birds nest by my front door is empty now. Yesterday they were teaching the chicks to fly so today they must have flown off. It takes just a few weeks from start to finish

Parts

Part 1. So the first part of my hectic day was having an early (11.30) lunch. Then over lunchtime the physio lady came and did loads of walking back and forward with no stick, I need to practice to make it go into my memory.  I was marginally dischuffed because she was praising me big style. I suspect from part of what she was saying that most ABI sufferers don't make as much of a recovery as I am doing

Part 2. Then s'afternoon Timmy took me miles away to Llanelli to see the Dr Rice that I saw last year. He wasn't there but his (Greek accented) glamorous assistant weighed me, took my blood pressure and talked. She said that my weight was down, blood pressure was where we wanted it to be and last week when they tested my blood that was good too

And she did say that the 6 monthly jab should be accessible so she is gonna write to my GP and tell him to look for that, not the monthly one that I have had for the last 2 months 

Busy

So as I am uberbusy today and this person is coming then and I need to travel to see someone else then it is all getting hectic re lunchtime and bath/nap time.

I think as it stands if I have lunch at 11.30 before anyone sees me......... just aargh

That's My Line

So ATM I am reading a Terry Pratchett novel, Equal Rites, and at some point in the book one character said to another "How are you?" To which s/he replied "All the better for seeing you". That's my line!!

Yfory

Not that I am busy tomorrow

Learning To Fly

And the birds nest above my front door has been busy s'afternoon as the little 'uns are learning to fly. To my neighbours roof and back
