Knickers

So tonight about 6 pm as arranged with us to be timed just as we were finishing dinner Aerwen from across the road knocked on the door and gave me 2 Knickerbocker Glories which she had just made. Just WOW etc, weren't they delicious. Lots of different kinds of fruit in there amongst the jelly, ice cream and a flake on top.

I think next time she see's me and says "How are you?" that I will reply "All the better for seeing you" more sincerely

Sh*ts

And suddenly s'afternoon I have got a serious Diarrhoea. No warning, nowt unusual to eat just a bad case

Well I haven't been to the loo for a couple of hours now

And I have just done a fart loud enough that GGtGG commented on it, without fear of backsplash

Mended It

So yesterday the mended bit on the oven door came off. Me and MM thought "Oh dear" and bought some more glue, it will be delivered in a few days. Today GGtGG said to me "I am sure you bought a replacement", I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. He came back and went and looked in the cupboard with the tool box in it and found the replacement. We had to unscrew the holding bit then replace it. Simple and fixed for good now

Gardening

And me and GGtGG are busy today. We will pass the tip and tip my old washing line, stop and fetch 4 bags of composted rubbish, one bag of proper soil then start thinking about filling the Trug back up.

Then we need to dig some holes and plant the plants Mum bought for me and plant the "for bees" flowers in the gap we have left for them

Then we needed to go back and buy more soil, I sold 2 bags of compost to GGtGG, we had the amounts all wrong

Voting

So I emailed the county council and said "Can I cancel my postal vote after next weeks election?" expecting them to say "Yes, contact...." but they just said "Yes" so apparently it is sorted

Cooking

And today I cooked the veg that has been roasted for some weeks into a pan with tomato&herbs, a bo*loc* knees effectively. I was stirring it when MM said "Oh, I like that with baked potatoes" which was news with me, I was thinking of boiling some pasta but we have extra roastable spuds as my folks were here so we ate out loads last weekend, so yep, I switched the oven on.....

(Sigh)

So I said to MagicMark that it is a bank holiday today so no-one is doing owt but he said "No Neil, to the gym" so we headed over did some machines then 10 minutes on the bike (not 10km like I do some days when I am not doing other exercises) and finished all my other stretches and exercises

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
