Weather

And having been outside tonight it is, significantly, just a bit chilly as opposed to fecking freezing which it has been for a couple of weeks.

Dunno, apparently the cold will be back in a few days but.....

Special Pocket

And today when we were out my eyepatch elastic broke. So I reached into my bumbag, went to the "secret" pocket at the back and took out a new one, still in it's wrapper.

Then later when I was back home I replaced the emergency patch with another new one out of the cupboard

Buying Mini Ice Creams

So we popped out tonight to get some more mini-ice cream lollies. So I bought 2 packets so they should last nearly a month. AND in the same shop we bought 2 bleaches as it was so cheap we didn't just get the one we needed. So petty cash card bought that

Dinner

And for dinner tonight we had baked potatoes with that veggie bollock knees as I am a bit short of pasta ATM but it was fecking delicious, even nicer than with pasta.

So perhaps it needs a different name but who knows

Wimming

And at lunchtime we are off to the swimming pool for exercises.

Hoo-fscking-ray

And I did it. Swimming and various walking and stretching exercises.

But today I swam 10 lengths for the first time since my accident. And it seems easier, I wasn't panting etc when I had finished.

STILL Reading

And I have just finished another Pratchett book, lordy this Kindle machine makes it possible once more. Can't believe I couldn't for SO long...... but it's hard deciding "What next?"

He moaned again, I think it is almost identical to the moan I had when finished the book before this one....

Not Fatter

So this week despite having a night out at Iechyd Da (inc beer) and the Headway Christmas Lunch (with cheesecake) my weight hasn't gone up this week.

It is the same as last week but I see that as progress

Early Cooking

And I cooked tonight's and tomorrows dinner before lunchtime so it has time to simmer in the pot so it will all mix together and go down into the heat etc. It is my main "cooking" project, bigger than the pizza and I need to chop and grate more stuff

But peeling with my right hand, it is still 3 or 4 times quicker than last week, I am still getting better in so many small ways so fast that I must have been fscked to begin with

And actually it was nicer than last weeks, my herb/spice comb was spot on, which can't be bad

Fscking Solitaire

Lordy, I have just had to play the same game of solitaire three times before I actually won it. So now I can shut my eyes, I have been in bed now for fscking ages

Cruising For A Bruising

Then today on the toe that I hurt in the pool on Wednesday, which doesn't really hurt now, there is a huge bruise below the half nail bit.

The photo that I took a couple of days later but you can still see the bruise below the nail on my big toe

Out For Lunch

And we are going out for lunch to a nice pub towards Swansea as it is the Headway Xmas Party

And we took it over pretty much but we had a pleasant enough feed paid for by Headway Swansea. But it was so big I am gonna have bread roll and some salad for dinner, as in my usual lunch

And I still felt as full as a full thing after a roll and sum salad for dinner

Oh and we were in the pub but it was lunchtime so I had a bottle of mineral water to drink

P&C4T

And as Timmy was working last night when I fetched my food home, tonight it is na'an bread pizza and chips for tea.

VBG

Classwards

So I am off to my only gym class for the week today at Leisure Centre after an early lunch etc

Gosh, that was hard work but I did it. I was speaking to Sam afterwards and she did say "Yes it might seem difficult now but every time you repeat it, as you are doing, it sinks into your brain and becomes automatic so you will be able to do it without this concentration that you are complaining about" 

Iechyd Da

So me and Timmy the not-folk-fan went to Iechyd Da Folk Night last night. As I was eager to get going we sat there staring into space for a bit but later loads of musicians showed up and no-one was a disappointment, a variety of styles

Gym

Then I went to gym and did the two minutes at normal speed and 30 secs 3 times as fast for 20 minutes on the pedal machine

Shopping

Then we popped into town, went to Caffi Iechyd Da to collect the organic delivery then on to Morrison's (noisy link) to do the rest of my weeks shopping

As we were leaving Iechyd Da someone shouted "See you later" as that's where we are heading tonight......

And a good time was had, loadsa photos taken but they won't be done 'til tomorrow as I am fscking knackered ATM

Winter's Day

So I have just been outside to get the bin back after the emptiers emptied it and I must say, it's feckin' freezing, a well wintry day

So I had better get an extra layer of coat in order to nip out s'morning shopping for food

More Terry

Well I got another Terry Pratchett book today to carry on reading. Lord it's hard choosing what to read on my Kindle but I am a big fan, of Terry and Kindles

Because I couldn't read for so long after my accident, 'til someone bought me a Kindle and I couldn't read very much at a time then as I was so out of practice

Oh What Fun We Had

And it is Aqua Aerobics at 2PM today.

Hooray, what fun....

And when I was in the pool today I knocked my toe against the wall. It wasn't very hard etc but it was the left big toe, the one that has almost no nail and it fecking hurt

Terry

And today I finished reading another Terry Pratchett novel which I enjoyed enormously. At the end of the book it was saying this was his last novel before he died but obviously he was working to the end and it was worth it

But what shall I read next?

Fark, but I couldn't read at all for so many years after my accident, not until I was bought the Kindle device which changed my life......
