Bicycle Races

So me and Timmy headed down to gym so Timmy could sit looking bored while I cycled 10km. Ho hum. So I did 5 and then said "Right, that'll do, lets go" but Timmy was insistent that I might be "The Boss" the rest of the time but he was in charge telling me to get on with it cycling

Useful Products

So I was glancing at a shopping website s'morning and came across such a useful product that someone has made and sold

I need one

Paid For It

So t'other day Timmy txt'd me to say that he had made the booking with the toenail chopper for next week, and he had to phone them and hand me the phone so I could already pay. Dunno why, perhaps just 'cos I am a newbie, hopefully next time it will be afterwards

My Novel

And in the book that I am reading ATM the heroes are locked in a prisons camp because they have advanced psychic powers.

And s'afternoon I am going to a Headway meeting, which makes me feel a bit like the characters in that novel, "I shouldn't be here, why am I here?"

Actually on the way there I was having a bit of a "Why?" conversation but the chap we were playing the game with was actually interesting. He was saying that after his stroke he has trouble with names and numbers, his brain usually works OKish but when he has to remember eg how much summat costs on the way to the till he can't. He was all in favour of the Headway group and exercises which made me a bit uncomfortable

Being Nagged

After Sara The Physio (I think) was nagging me a few weeks ago I have been practicing standing straight up, not doing it to one foot forward and one half the way back which I had to do since I learned to stand up again.

Yes, it is much more difficult but practice makes it easier. I need to move my bum slightly forward in my chair but then I can do it with no hands holding on etc, it is much more like a normal standing up action

Rest Of Red Stuff

And for dinner tonight we had the remains of the red stuff we had with pasta last night with baked potatoes tonight and it was even nicer.

Yum yum but it is all gone now

Walkies

And we popped into town today, parked a bit along King St, walked along, off the end to the old town hall, walked all the way down there, across and back up past Caffi Iechyd Da back up to King St and the car. It was relatively long but easier than last time I tried

I'd Forgotten

So I stopped watching the football about ¾ of the way thru as the result was fscking obvious and I knew MM needed food quickly after so we ate and both said "Yum yum" as I had made another pasta and red stuff c/w herbs and garlic etc, THEN MM said "Wanna go to this bingo then" which I had forgotten but we were late and they were only playing the last 3 games, which I so didn't win, then we sat there through the raffle call out which we hadn't been offered. But it was nice to see and be seen kind of doing my bit for the community

Staying In

And after a relatively nice morning when we did nowt it seems that that walk we were planning for s'afternoon might be damped out

Aargh

So I went to the fridge today and got 2 ingredients for the dinner I am cooking for tonight. 2, so in 2 hands, so I had no hand to hold my walky stick.

And extra therapeutic, I walked to where to put them, got out my camera, pressed "self timer" and rushed back halfway to pose

Different Noisiness Outside My Bedroom S'Morning

Baa baa they went

Watching Rugger

And we are going up't the pub tonight to watch Wales and Ireland play in the rugby.

I think I am a Wales fan but I suppose it depends on who wins

BUT first I need to do the weekly unhealthy dinner of na'an bread pizza and chips for tea

Ooh, didn't Wales win after an exciting game

Gymwards

And I am off to Gym Stroke Class with a different teacher than usual this week. I bumped into her t'other day and she said "Sam told me to spank you" meaning be hard on me but I just said "YES PLEASE"

Well I did it. It was as hard as every Stroke Class has been but that is obviously good as I am getting better and better but it doesn't feel very good anyway

Neighbouring Fans

So are they cheering for Wales Or Ireland tonight

Do They Know Already?

So I was looking at the 6 Nations website s'morning to check what time the match is on tonight and the score seems to be on there already.

Oh, but a bit of further reading says it is the kick off time tonight

Going Where

And Timmy said to me today "There is a gig at Pembroke Castle, the Bootleg Beatles and Bootleg Beachboys, playing, there is access to a disabled part, with a loo........" so we booked it for me and whoever is working on that date to go and have fun!!! Their new Pettycash paid for their half and mine paid for the rest, apparently it is a going out therapy so...... So it is in future, the 15th July but waiting now....

Oops

Then after we had brought the shopping home and put it away we headed to the gym. First of all I was walking quickly upstairs (after a long conversation with Timmy about how I walk better when going slower but it is supposed to be a cardiac machine so just go fast). I was due to do 10 minutes and I decided to pause after 7.5 mins to catch my breath but I just pressed pause and stopped walking. The machine stops more slowly so I just was thrown off down the way. No bad injuries just a small cut on my shin

But I did climb up 12 flights of stairs before falling all the way down

After sitting down to catch my breath for a couple of minutes I went on a rowing machine and did almost loads but I objected a bit because my hand is no longer working as it did before as I had a Botox injection there last week

So generally it was a bit of a disaster but I survived

Busy Morning

So first of all s'morning we were lucky enough to find a parking space across the road (a disabled space) from The Warren which my veg was delivered to as Iechyd Da is shut for a week. Actually first thing I got an email from them saying "Your veg has been delivered" and I was rather impressed with the place generally. So next week (when not so busy) we will head down to a games night and see how it is

Then we popped to the Drs to fetch my asthma 'script

Then (more) we went to Morrisons and bought the rest of my shopping, including "stay cold" items which is why we went to Drs. first

Different Aerobicist

And today there is gonna be a different "teacher" in Aqua Aerobics, but the class before us has been cancelled, obviously she is busy doing summat else then

Well it's done. It was as much fun as usual with some novelty exercises etc. But it was done another week

Shopping

And we are nipping off shopping s'afternoon to try and find more joggy bottoms. Yes, they don't look the best but they are elasticated in the waist and as I am loosing more and more weight I am sick of belt/braces. This time we are nipping to Matalan which (GGtGG thinks) is where I bought my last pair

Well we got a pair for £8. I didn't try them on as I had all my FES on etc but I will try them on in't morning when I get changed b4 swimming class, so if they don't fit I have another 27 days to take them back. I think they do tho, they seemed rightish when stretched over me etc. The receipt is in the hall waiting
