It Is SO Back

So today I have the first Aqua-flipping-Aerobics class since before the summer holidays

Hoo-flipping-Ray

But it is an hour later now so I had to have an early lunch so it can be slightly digested before swimming exercise

Well I did it. It wasn't as scary as I had worried, just generally my fitness is getting better so...

Weather

Still just wearing t-shirt, no jumper

OOT

And I needed some cash from the cash ATM tonight so we headed into town and got some. Then I tried to set off for a walk around town but I gave up soon and headed home. I was fscking exhausted by my work with Sara, I kind of didn't realise how much harder than usual I was working there but there you go

Sara-ing

Then we spent the afternoon at Sara's establishment in Swansea where again I even impressed myself with how much striding (uphill and downhill today) I was able to do

And I was secretly rather impressed with GBivs sense of direction. He had never been "there", he is originally from fscking England but he still recalled exactly where it was

They Listened

And while we were out some delivery came. We had said "If I am out leave it in the greenhouse" which they did which is much better than taking it away and leaving it somewhere

Sigh - it's back

Well we fscking went to the leisure center/gym for the first swim I have had since the kids got off school for the summer holidays 2 months ago. It actually wasn't as bad/scary as I thought it might be. It did wear me out quicker than it did last time but if I am out of practice.......

I was relatively pleased with how it was still possible to swim lengths etc

Busy AM

So first thing (half an hour after MM arrived) Luscious Linda The Toe Chopper came... and chopped my toe nails.

After she creamed me up etc we headed into town to the Drs. Picked up a big 'script then headed next door to the chemist and waited while they put together the 4 items (some of which were multiple) for my 'script. Came home, no first of all I turned back to the chemist and gave her my blue inhaler and said "OOD now, the doc has just given me another, can you throw this away", then came home and put it all away.

Then after half an hour resting we are going back to the swimming pool, that I haven't been to since the school holidays started but as they are finished now I'd better go back

Family Visit

Then tonight Davy phoned and basically him&Nors are coming over from Belfast weekend after next

Fredumpkins

And unexpectedly Freya is gonna come over for tea and a chat tonight. She is off to that England to go to Uni in 10 days. Can't cope, she was my littlest baby back then...

So we went to the pub up the street and actually mine was lovely, very delicous. I think Freya was making similar noises so just "yum yum" for the night

She said she is working next weekend but hopefully on the Mon or Tue we will be able to catch up before she goes

Rainy Sunday^H^H^H^H^Haturday

It has been since before I got up s'morning.

And it finally stopped raining after 9 o'clock tonight

Out

Then l8r we walked thru Carmarthen, up past Iechyd Da, along King St, back on the other side, down past the old court(?)  building and back to the car opposite Aardvark.

We also popped into Morrisons on the way home and bought some petty cash cleaning products and got more change for the parking meters for the car

While on King St I thought that I should carry on until we reach a lowered kerb crossing point. Then I thought "No Neil, you are better than that now" and stepped down off a normal kerb and back up on the other side

She's Back

So we have Sam teaching us in gym again today. She has had a flipping holiday for a couple of weeks, how dare she?

If I can find the class, still not in gym room, they are still redoing the centre 

Well, found it first time. But next week it will be somewhere different again. But she was there and I did what she told me to do for an hour then came home. She did comment at one point how "iller" I was when I started the first class. This one now is the 3rd option of "getting better" classes that I have been going to. She did comment on how most folk find a class and stick to it. But I am improving

Cleanup #2

Dunno. It was nearly as quick as can be tonight. Nearly. Compared with the day before, less silence

Neighbour(s)

Then today when I was going out to car one of my neighbours was walking down the street. "How are you?" she said. "As I usually say 'As well as can be expected'" I said, "Well u are so much better now, aren't you" she replied.

Smug, smug, smug. Feeling good

Busy Morning

So we headed to Iechyd Da first, picked a box of organic food then headed to Morrisons and picked up the rest of my shopping. Including org milk etc.

After we came back and put it away we headed down to gym and got on the bike again. I went flat out, last week in my 20 minutes I was about 70m short of doing 2½ KM but this week I went even more flat out and finished with about a minute to spare. I was too knackered to do any other exercises so Timmy was a bit dis-chuffed

Disk Cleanup

So I asked MM today "Can u fix this 'puter in the bedroom, it is running so slowly I can't find music etc". He said "Yes", looked on his laptop what the function was called for Windows 7 and asked it to look for "Disk Cleanup". What a difference, I could tell before I even ran a test as the noise was going "disk noise, noise, noise" whereas in the past it was going "Disk noise..... silence....... brief noise........ silence..... silence etc"

But when I put it on last night it went "Silence" for about 4 mins, I thiught "Oh no", but then it suddenly worked again 

Walkies

So tonight we went out, I said "Park here" at Llamas St and walked up hill as far as King St, walked a bit along there, came down past Caffi Iechyd Da and back to the car.

From here we popped to my local, where I was trying to get enuf change to pay The Glamorous Toe-Nail Cutter next week. So we had 2 pints even tho I only needed a half to get change 

Boiler Fixers

And all day I had been thinking "Where are they?" as the hot water was still hot etc. S'afternoon I had my bath, went to bed, been in there for a few minutes when there was a knock at the door". MM answered, had a conversation and said "Tara". After my "sleep" I said "Who was that?", it turns out it was the boiler fixer and he had had a look at our outside gas fittings and didn't need to do owt. I think these 4 houses at the end were built later than the rest so we have more up to date gas fittings

(Sigh)

So me and MM headed to gym just before lunchtime. We did loadsa arm and chest exercises and not 5 minutes like I was acting up but 10 minutes (so I had to do another go of 5 mins) on the hand cycle machine. I feel a pain in my right shoulder (well just below my shoulder but just) but we finished it all.

Timmyless Breakfast

And Timmy was up and letting MM in before I was up s'morning as he had to go off early to sort out some family issues s'morning
