Out For Dinner

Then later my folks came over here, dropped the car and we gave them a lift to The Tavern Tanerdy where, as usual, we had a delicious dinner. No pudding was had as we came back here and got stuck into my birthday cake which was as lovely as a lovely thing. We forgot to open the champagne until after they had left but I did enjoy it on their behalf

Dressed

And now I am dressed in underpants and T shirt that I owned before and everything else, socks, trousers, jacket are new

On The Skive

But I just didn't feel comfortable taking my parents along to a Headway meeting so I just didn't go to this fortnight's meeting

Morning Out With Parents

So we headed into town, parked up in Lammas St then I demonstrated to my folks how much better my walking is these days as first of all we walked to M&S and I had to pop up on the escalator until we found somewhere to change the pressie that Gareth had sent over with them (to the right size) and then we walked to The Calon Cafe to have a sandwich for lunch.

After lunch they said "Tara" and we are picking them up in a bit to take them to The Tafarn Tanerdy to make them buy me dinner, but not pudding as me and my mum have a third of a bottle of champagne in the fridge and we all have a birthday cake sitting out ready to munch on

Hippy Bath-Day

As Julia greeted me in a txt message s'morning

With Freya

Then Freya did her seeing granny duties well. We all went back to the hotel, sat there chatting for an hour and a half before they would serve us and I managed to have summat different tonight, so yum yum. I felt the need to tell Freya about how poorly her granny has been but they spoke to each other on the phone today and mum had already done the duty, luckily AFAIC.

We had a lovely meal and they did tell me about plans for tomorrow night too. It will be the last time I see them too, this visit

More Better

And after my BoTox wearing off my right thumb is more well again, just being able to grip stuff once more

Out For Lunch

So we had them visiting my house for a couple of hours then we popped into town, to The Caffè Nero, for lunch.

Then I have come home for my nap, then me and Timmy are going to fetch Freya and we will head into their hotel where are all going for dinner

Oooow

And my Mum and Dad are on their way here as we speak........

Hopefully it is all clean and tidy enuf.....

Well they have been delayed by meeting up with Denyse but they are on their way now. I am gonna go and meet then at the hotel in a bit

Well. What a night. We have had a delicious dinner and a very pleasant glass of wine but my mother was talking. About why she hasn't been to see me for ages. FARK. Bit of a shock to the system knowing she has had that wrong with her but she seems to beaten it off so she will be here a lot more often nowadays. Hopefully

And she didn't tell me over the phone because..... just one can't hear certain things like that

Improving

And as my right hand wasn't working very well after the last BoTox injection and "they" said "Don't worry, it will come back eventually", and over the last few days I have really noticed that action is coming back into my finger and thumb combo, I can undo the buckle on my belt with my right hand once more

To A Class

Then after an early lunch we headed to Sam's class at the gym. Which was hectic but again I can do more than last week

Pick 'Em Up

Then we had to pop over to the Drs and fetch my many prescriptions which we did. They won't have the sockings in stock til Monday or Tuesday so will go and pay for more parking then

Dinner

And for dinner I had a veggie burger thingy which Timmy bought 2 of in the supermarket today and half a packet of roast-able bits of potato that Timmy also bought for himself earlier

Next

Then later, just about lunchtime we headed out to gym (Surprise, surprise) I did 3 upper arm exercises on some machines that I haven't been on for ages then 1.5 km on the pedal a bike machine. I think today was a bit faster than last week but kept it in control, I was able to finish my target today

First Things First

Then s'morning me and Timmy headed into town first thing (OK, third thing after he had done the handover then come and put my FES on) and we headed down King St looking for a parking space. No, so we went round the block and then found 2 spaces on the closest parking bit to Caffi Iechyd Da. Walked down and got the veg and had a bit of a flirt with the MOS

Then we headed to Morrisons and did the rest of my shopping for the week and came back, put it away, paid for my Organic Veg via my PC (which is too modern and crazy for me, but it works) and caught my breath

Swimming

Then we popped into the last swimming class for 3 weeks, there is none the next two weeks as it is school holidays etc so we won't be in the pool for ages.

Hygenist

So popped in to see the oral hygenist s'morning. It was uncomfortable but she didn't say 'Oh you had better come in and see the dentist because...' which was nice.

She recommended that I get a 'brush your tongue' device but they had none in stock there

Walkies

Then s'afternoon me and RoyGBiv headed into town, parked half way along King Street and walked to the end, onto the terrace above the old town hall, then walked back along the other said of the road right the way to the very end then crossed over and walked all the way back to the car. So effectively we went from one end of King St to the other and back

Cycling

So we popped to gym s'morning and got on a bike. I stayed slightly slower today and was therefore able to finish my 10km "get fit" cycle

But phew, it's over now

Popped Out

Then we nipped to Farmfoods to buy more cheesey stick things (which I was rather impressed with t'other night) and a few more choc ices. It was a bit pointless driving all the way into town to just buy a bit but I see it as therapeutic too
