Card

So Timmy (and the team)'s new cash card arrived, he phoned the cash manager and got the pin number for it so now he can pay for his own dinner at Iechyd Da eg. And all the rest. So petty cash has been split in two

Gymming

Then after all the chaos we went to gym (Hooray) and I did another 7.5 mins walking upstairs at the slower pace which is much more effective. Then I went on the rowing machine and rowed for a kilometer and a half. It is noticeable how much fitter I am, I didn't need to stop and pant every few minutes like I had to 3 or 4 weeks ago

Aargh

So we went to Iechyd Da to collect the veg, it hadn't been delivered. h*t. She phoned him, he said "Sh*t, I will be through Carmarthen s'afternoon, will drop it off then" so as long as it is all there or else we will have to nip to Morrison's in't morning too. But as we will be there s'evening for the Folk Night they will keep it until then

As we also had to nip to Morrisons after this catastrophe......

Windy

And it is really windy now, there is some storm with a name but apparently there will be up to a foot of snow in Scotland now, so a wee bit windy is lovely, in comparison

Simplified

So tomorrow at Iechyd Da Timmy will have his own portion of cash to pay and I will pay for my own. Hopefully a bit simpler

Busy

So me and GGtGG had a discussion of what to do today as there was no Aqua Aerobics group on. So we decided to go to the gym and do 1 or 2 exercises then head off for a long walk. So we arrived at gym, and before I knew it I was on my fourth exercise. Mainly upper body we did today, pulling, pushing rowing etc

So we came back for lunch first then headed into town for walkies. It was just nearly raining so we were nearly dry when we finished walking around town and around charity shops. I was rather impressed with the Oriel Gallery on 4 Blue St although I think their website is down for a few weeks

Oops

So tonight I ate my dinner, enjoyed it, finished the last mouthful, reached for my pot of coffee and knocked the coffee into my lap. Oh, wasn't there extra cleaning up for RoyGBiv to do, as I couldn't head over to even get the kitchen roll as I was stuck circle of slippery coffee.

But he has done mopping and wiping as well as the washing up etc. Much relieved I am

Bicycle Races Are Coming My Way

And today I managed the whole 10km on the bike. I set off today pedalling slower so I kept going until I had finished the cycle, but I was still quicker than I have ever been, as I am getting fitter week after week

Brought Tears To My Eyes

I am 2/3 of the way through another Terry Pratchett novel ATM and there was a bit of a quote that nearly made me cry in this one, I thought it just applies to me very much so

And doing further research later just made me think wow or summat. It is a bit strange but nice with it

No Swimming This Week

So we couldn't go swimming today as it's half term, full of kids. I had said to MM to go walking in town but he was scathing, insisted I go to gym and do various exercises

AND I did 10 minutes on the walking uphill machine and only needed to rest for a short time before doing more exercises. Even that machine is making such a difference, last week I only managed 7 minutes and was nearly crying by the time I had finished, already I am so much better

Shreking

And I just switched on telly just as Shrek 4 was starting, as I haven't seen any of the first 3 I was a bit bemused but GGtGG suggested watching it and just WOW, I am a bit of a fan now.

Long winded animation but well worth the effort

.... Bloody Sunday

And I have changed my bed and listened to the washing machine all morning now.....

Pub

So we headed down (or up for that matter) to the pub tonight for a few pints. Yes, I haven't lost any weight for 3 weeks but I did today so I went straight way and had a fattening night

Restful Weekend

So today I shall..... read my novel(1) more

(1) This still gives me a lot of pleasure, simply being able to read at all after so long

Garlicless Pizza

Then we had the traditional Friday night dinner of na'an bread pizza and chips for tea, which was as delicious as usual but I made it without adding spoonfuls of crushed garlic, which I usually do. It was still delicious but a bit different

But I think RoyGBivs wife will allow him a kiss when he goes home in't morning, she complains most weeks as he still stinks of garlic. Apparently, my sense of smell is a bit fscked nowadays

No Plastic Here

So they are trying to make the world tidier

Small Bug Crisis

And yesterday Timmy panicked about the number of small black bugs near their cereal, also near the enormous sack of bird food that had only had one lot taken out. The bag was full of these small black creatures so we put it in the garage overnight. Today me and RoyGBiv went out, he poured one feeds worth in a container which I put on the feeding device in the front garden and he poured the rest of the kgs of food along the back garden, below the hedge which is full of birds. Then tonight we will pop out and buy a couple of smaller bags of seed, ones that you open and empty onto the feeder straight away

So we did go out later and buy 2 or 3 smaller bags of food, either it will all fit on one go or I will be able to seal the top and sellotape it shut, so no more creatures, hopefully

Jablicious

So today, before I go to the gym class, I have got to head over to my doctors and a) pick up some 'scripts and pop out and get them in the chemist next door, and more to the point b) have a testoserone injection

Really summat to look forward to

Oh what fun we had. But it was done, the fscking injection took ages to be injected in, it is thick gloopy stuff which she had to squeeze for ages to make it go in.

Hotter

And it is loads warmer today, just everywhere. The radiator in the hall which I dry my sockings on is just fully cold.  The central heating has just decided it's as warm as a warm thing

Another Day, Another Dollar

So me and Timmy headed gymwards this morning and first of all I did the climbing up steps exercise for 7 minutes without a rest.

Then, after a few mins panting and gasping, I got on a pedaling machine and did 1500m
