A Plan For Tomorrow

And we have an early lunch tomorrow then we are heading out to look at The Big Cwtch Venue as it will be RoyGBiv taking me there in September and he wants to learn the route so we can actually find it on the day

They Like It

And some passers by told RoyGBiv (who was working outside) that they like the subtle new colour that my house is

Walking Around Town

So me a RoyGBiv went into town for a walkabout today, so I could practice walking and so he could learn his way around town. We walked up and around and got back to the car after about half an hour. I said let's head home but he said "No, let's carry on"

And when we went back out we came across a singer/busker who was very impressive. I walked over to give her a quid and when she was singing an "I love you" song I kind of acted along as if she was singing to me. She laughed and when the song had finished gave me one of her CDs which is actually rather good

Doubler

And RoyGBiv is working on his first double shift today and tomorrow. See if I can stand him for the whole weekend

Oop Road

And we popped up the road to the local pub tonight. We parked and instead of taking the long way round to the front door we just headed thru the down the steps and across the uneven gravel bit that I have been too scared to walk over before.

But I managed

Friday Dinner

And we had the (now) usual Friday dinner of Na'an Bread Pizza and Chips. And it was as lovely as it is most weeks

Class

And we headed over to my weekly class at Gym at lunchtime, it wasn't in the squash court today, it was is some gym room belonging to the school next door who are on holiday ATM. They share the building, more than next door really but it was much more pleasant than being squeezed into a squash court like last week

Before

And on the way to gym s'morning we are heading over to the tip to dump the Sky Telly Receiver that was on the front wall of my house and has been removed by the decorators. The one I never used......

Into Class

And I am in a proper gym class at lunchtime today, in one of Sam's sessions

-ming

Then we popped to gym again. Again it was a really long walk and a difficult staircase but I managed. First of all I was on the chest press which was no prob, then I was on the overhead press which I really struggled with. Did 10 first time, only managed 8 second go but for the third I was just pausing for about a second between presses and I actually got carried away and did 12 to make up for the second. I was on 2 machines afterwards but that was the story of today

Different Shopping

Just wow. So today Timmy said to try shopping at Morrison's before picking up the veg and it took us about an hour and a half less than last week. Dunno why so much, quieter roads, quieter shops but there you go. So I suspect that my weekly shopping list has changed order

But I nearly had a crisis. I unpacked all the veg, put it away, paid for it then got ready for lunch. But there was no salad pack with the veg. Crisis, I was about to go back to Morrosons and leave my coffee to go cold when Timmy looked at the bill and said "There's no salad on here, have they forgotten?" when I remembered, "No there is more grown in the greenhouse" and went and picked today's salad. That is gonna be the arrangement for the week, I didn't require a refund or owt

Gym

Then we popped back to the gym and this time I was brave enough walking miles to the back and up the steep stairs to the new practice room where I did nearly 25km cycling then nearly 1km rowing

Apprehensive

Then s'morning me and Timmy need to head down to the dentist where a hygienist is gonna look at my teeth and no doubt criticise me in some way

No, she didn't say "Come back and we will fix this" so at a guess I am doing OK. I also bought some "spray on and see where you haven't brushed" stuff to use once a week

Walkies

So because I hadn't cycled the full distance today we set off in town just walking about. So we parked in an expensive slot as there were no free spaces and headed down to Savers where I bought loads of "good for me" stuff then walked down to Wilko and just walked the whole way round the outside and a bit round the middle before leaving for home

Confusing Gym

So the workout room @ gym has been moved to the back of the building, up steeper stairs for a few weeks. We went in today, got sent there and I was f-ing exhausted by the time I reached the bike. I was crying to RoyGBiv about how I needed to leave half way thru my cycle as I was nervous about a) going down the taller, steeper stairs and b) walking for about 8 miles to find the door again. He said do 7km so I agreed and did a further 2 before leaving. It wasnt as scary as I had thought so from tomorrow I just know I can do it, getting in and out

Out To Headway

So s'afternoon we headed to Swansea for a get together playing games with Headway Swansea. So now I am in bed and it is nearly dinner time. Dunno what I get from these meetings but it is so much better than swimming every fortnight

Reverse

And we headed out for a walk around town tonight, and actually went the same walk as yesterday but in reverse (although we didn't go up and down King St tonight). It felt a bit different, walking up the same height but taking longer to get up IYSWIM, but I managed it again

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
