Strange Conversation

And we were nearly home in the car earlier when someone phoned me. It was a rep from O2 and she talked on. We arrived home and she talked while I sat in the car listening. Eventually I agreed to buy a new phone and it is actually slightly cheaper then the one I already have. Then I could get out of the car and let us in

So just waiting, it should appear in a couple of days, I will transfer my SIM across and it will just work. Apparently

Friday Night Treat on a Thursday

So we had Friday Night Treat for tea tonight, I bought the ingredients today as usual but it is usually Timmy working on a Thursday and he won't eat any of my food. But Roy has taken the shift so we had early Friday Night Treat

Back To Normal Day

So I am back to my normal routine today. Iechyd Da to pick up veg, then Morrison's then gym. Then lunch and relax

No, I can't relax, we need to nip out and buy some staff bogroll as Roy just announced. "Why couldn't we do this when we were out earlier?" I said. Oh no, because he couldn't suggest anything on top of what we were already doing.  Neil is not very pleased at this

B&Qing

Then later we popped to B&Q to fetch some paint for the outside fence that Mark can do when he is here for the weekend in a couple of weeks.

We also got some concrete to put around the base of the washing line to make it more upright

Gyming

And as it is Easter holidays we will just go to gym to do various machine exercises today, there is no Aqua Aerobics class this week or next

<Pant pant pant>Well I did it, various lifting up and pulling down machines, a few minutes on the move it with your feet machine then some cycle motion with your hands</P p p>

On my neighbours roof. Taken pic thru glass too

Clothes Peg Crisis

So after we put the washing line together I thought "Ah, clothes pegs, I am sure I used to have some" and looked all over the kitchen and the utility room. Timmy said "Somewhere in the garage" so I went and looked, couldn't find any, called him, and about 2 minutes later he found them under some foot rest device, obviously.

So we now have a bag of clothes pegs hanging from the washing line, waiting for the first load s'afternoon

Out With Freya

And then tonight at short notice we are taking Freya out for dinner. I think we shall go to Pizza Express tonight, then come back here for some birthday cake. THEN she is heading back to MCR in a couple of days

No, we didn't come back for birthday cake as we had an pudding after tea

Busy Morning

A very busy morning. First of all me&Timmy headed over to the Chemist by the Drs to get my sockings, the ones we tried to get last week and they said "Come back later". Then we popped to B&Q and bought a spade and shovel for digging the garden with and a new laundry hanger out device and a stand for it. THEN we went to the gym and I did that cycling for 10km exercise. Before lunch Timmy put the washing line together as I am now capable of walking across the stones to reach it. We took apart the old washing line a couple of years ago as I wasn't fit to walk there then

No Neil, DO IT YOURSELF

So I was sat outside and a passer by passed by and his dog had a bit of a dig in the corner of the garden and made a mess. I thought "HELP" but before I shouted I thought "No Neil, try it yourself, it's not that hard". So I set down my Kindle device, walked over, bent down and was able to brush it all off by hand. So actually it was easy

I am so much more capable week after week

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
