Event

And I looked out my front window s'afternoon and there was a fox in the front garden. He buggered off before I could take a photo mind

Walkies

So we headed out s'morning and parked opposite Aardvark and headed thru town for a walk. We walked down the pedestrian bit past M&S then up past Iechyd Da to King St walked to the end away from town, crossed over and walked the whole length of the Street back, crossed over back into pedestrian bit and along then down past the court back to the car. It was about an hour and a half of walking time so my stamina is getting better.

GGtGG did suggest at one point a stop/sit down but I said "No, this is therapeutic" and carried on

Off To Docs

Then we are off to the docs to a) make an arrangement for my testosterone jab, b) pick up 3 scripts and c) see the Dr for my annual asthma talkabout

Gymtastic

Then today we had a strange gym class in a different venue as they are doing up the gym room for the next month or so

Busy AM

Well we had a busy morning. First first of all we headed to King St and on the second drive down one of the parking spaces right opposite where we had to walk down had become free so we parked and walked down to Iechyd Da to say hello and pick up my organic veg

Then we headed out to Morrisons and picked up the rest of my shopping

Then we came home and put it all away and then got back in the car and headed to gym where I did ages in the hand cycle and a fair while on a new machine, it was kind of like a treadmill but moving up and down and left and right. Almost a dance machine

Writing

"Well all the paper in my room is printer paper so I stuck my head into the office and asked Gareth if he had any with lines. He looked in about 17 drawers, didn't find any but then made a strange noise and looked in his bag and produced about 1/4 of a book of A4 paper with lines on. He said he was giving it as a gift so........

And it went OK to start with, I was mostly between lines etc but by laird but it is hard. But practice etc etc"

Different Shop

Then after lunch we headed down to Farmfoods to fetch a few bits of food.

I tried buying one Ben & Jerry's pot of ice cream to see if I can make it last a week instead of eating it all at one go tonight

Summat Is Better

And I was getting dressed again s'afternoon when I went to put on my fleece, the one that I have been forced to put on right arm first for some years. I just thought....... and tried putting in my left arm first. That was as easy as ever but putting my right arm in next that I haven't managed for ages, it was harder but still relatively easy.

Now I need to reteach myself habits.....

Gymdoodly

And I went to gym at lunchtime, to gym not swimming pool, and decided there that we won't be back to the pool 'til kids are back to school. Anyway today I did various upper arm exercises and 10 mins pedalling by hand

Sara-ing

So Timmy has to drive me to Bridgend today where Sara has a new posh physiotherapy centre

And wow, that seemed to take all day but she has some incredible machines etc

Temporarily Broken

And my web page was down s'morning, by the time I had given up trying to contact them to see the issue (because it was nearly impossible) www.hippyweb.me.uk was back up and running

Snip-ee-de-dooh-dah

Snip-ee-de-ay. So I had a hair cut again today. But there is summat wrong with the clippers, they seem to be full of someone else's grey hair which they drop on the floor after cutting mine

Uber-Cycling

And today we had to do a long cycle as I will be away seeing Sara tomorrow. So today I managed 10km in just over 42 minutes (OK, 7 seconds over) whereas last week I set a record and "only" took 45 minutes and 27 seconds

Walkies

And this afternoon we headed out for a walk around town and almost exactly copied the route of this one

How Much Reading

So I finished a book yesterday and started reading another pretty much straight away. But the old book had a "how much have you read" % at the bottom of the screen whereas the new book didn't. After much looking at one thing and another on it I eventually got stuck in on the Interweb. Eventually I found this page which gave me instructions of how to get it up once more

Bother

So s'morning I thought "Ah, bank holiday tomorrow, better phone leisure centre and check" so I did, after about 6 hours of clicking extra buttons to choose choices I eventually got to speak to someone. I said "Bank holiday tomorrow, are you open?" all expectantly. Unfortunately she said "Yes"

Nooneraft Out

We headed out for a trip s'afternoon. We didn't know where to go so we popped along to see (from below) Dryslwyn Castle but disappointingly there was no "Buy ice cream here" van sitting in the car park

Picking Up

And tonight I was in t'loo again, my 'stick fell over again this time I tried and succeeded in picking it up with my right hand without holding any support with my left hand. For the first time in so many years etc etc

Pizza

And G Biv had his first na'an bread pizza for tea tonight which he did enjoy, apparently.

A wee bit proud of the whole concept

First Proper Day

And it is Roy Of The Rovers first proper day on duty alone today.

• Or is he called Roy G Biv?
And me and G Biv hearted over to gym for a Sam class, which was as much fun as ever. At one point today I was walking back and forwards up&down 3 big steps. In one direction I held on with my hand on the chairs to one side but in the other direction I paused then went for it without holding on. It was the first time in nearly 15 years I have been able to walk over steps without holding on to summat
