New Talent

Then tonight at Caffi Iechyd Da I poured a bottle of beer with my right hand.

The first time I have poured owt with my right hand in nearly 15 years

Off To Play

And we are heading to Caffi Iechyd Da for their monthly folk club in a bit......

Busy Thursday

So first of all me & Timmy headed down King St and actually got into the parking space nearest to the lane leading to Iechyd Da where we got my veg and said "See you tonight" as we are heading to the monthly folk night there tonight.

Then we headed round Morrisons where as usual I bought most of the rest of my weeks food.

Then just about at lunchtime we headed gymwards where I did 5 minutes on the walking upstairs machine (11 flights apparently) and got on the rowing machine and did 1500m quicker than last time etc

Frosty

Well I think it was frosty, this was the temperature about 10 to 8 s'morning. Apparently it won't be frosty tonight so I have brought my pink heart plant out

My Bum Is Not Numb

So a day after taking the only cushion that was on a dining room seat off the seat I can say it's been fine, no problem, my bum isn't numb or crying or owt. So again some part of my life is getting better.

It had the only cushion because I had to get one a while back but again summat is better

Right

Right. So me and GarethTheGardener looked at the seeds etc this afternoon, discussed stuff and popped to B&Q to buy MORE compost. Then we opened the cover on the Trug Type Device, watered it loads then planted lettuce, carrots and parsley, watered it again etc then got some new pots together, filled them with a mix of soil and compost and read the packets and put them away until tomorrow morning when we will plant a tub full of beetroot and another tub full of chilli peppers, their home will be in the greenhouse next to the Trug. So loads of watering chores which I can just about manage so feel obliged to do it myself.

BUT it is really strange walking round to my Trug and the greenhouse. Last autumn I was really struggling with the small stones underfoot whereas today I can just walk on them, no problem. So my balance and footwork have both improved loads and loads in the intervening months

Drying Weather

So I got changed about 9AM s'morning as we are going swimming. I washed and hung it out. It was dry before lunchtime!!

Aerobics

And after having a fortnight off for the school holidays we are back in Aqua Aerobics after an early lunch today.

Ho hum, tra la la la.....

And wasn't it fun. Although this week I discovered that I can now stand on my right leg and lift my left to do exercises which I couldn't manage last week

Frosty Morning

So "they" said "Don't plant out your pink heart plants until the frost has gone" and there was frost s'morning so luckily it was in the greenhouse

Doctor Whatchamacallit

And I watched the second episode of Dr Who today and I enjoyed it *so* much

Faster Then Ever

<sigh> So we headed to gym s'morning and I got stuck into the exercise bike machine. The first km took ages but after that I got it together and did the whole 10km in I think the quickest time I have ever managed. </s>

So yes, I am sweaty, smelly and exhausted now but it is done

Thinner?

So s'morning I had to do up one of the extra "tighten up" buttons on the top of my trousers, the ones that I have never had to do up before, but now the trousers aren't falling down when I am standing/walking

Streaming

So when I went to bed last night instead of sticking on sum music I searched the Interweb for "streaming folk music" and the very first result that came up I clicked listen and fell asleep a while later b4 the auto shut down shut down the PC.

I am a bit of a fan, I will have to explore further.....

Monday

So Monday again...... so today first of all we need to pop to Savers on Merlin's Walk to fetch some litre sized mouthwash and loo cleaner then after an early lunch we are off to Headway in Swansea for a.... meeting

Well we did the first part fine, needed to park in a paying loads space as all the free spaces were full but we did it, in plenty of time etc. Now it's an early lunch then take ourselves off....

Then we travelled miles to the Headway Swansea meeting which actually wasn't so mind bogglingly bad. So we played a game with the japanese woman who I have played with before and she is obsessively good at it and there was a new chap who was iller than me and his carer playing

CRISIS

So when I was running my bath I opened the window, turned my back and "Splash". I turned round to see what caused it and the old loo cleaning stuff, that I had just set a new version next to, had blown off the window sill into the loo. No harm done, we needed to throw the box away but the contents are still in the container

New Flowers

So after I was in my neighbours back garden admiring her gardening she knocked at the door yesterday and handed me a new flower that she had bought for me as I was so praising it in her garden yesterday. The pink heart shaped flowers which I have gotta keep in the greenhouse until frost has gone then we will plant it out in the new big pot, which we bought yesterday afternoon, and put it by my bench by the front door

Kwikfitting?

So RoyGBiv said "Wanna do owt today?", I said "Erm...." so then he suggested that we were warned a while ago that one of the tyres on the car is almost treadless so needs changing soon. Like today?

Walkies

And it is making my head wanna cry just simply because I am so much better at walking nowadays after being in a wheelchair for so long.

But I can't do it outside as walk on flat pavement for 2 miles then suddenly there is an uneven up and down nearly broken bit which I need my stick for

Haven't Seen Her For Ages

So s'afternoon I am heading to a class with that Sam. Who was off for easter last week, so if feels like ages since I have seen her

Well, that went. I am still getting better and better every week.

That's Where My Bookmarks Are

And I was marginally disgruntled with the interweb on my new phone as all the bookmarks had disappeared. I said "Timmy...." and he said "You used a different browser..." which I loaded and lo and behold all my bookmarks were back

Clanking Bell

Then at dinner time me and Timmy got together over my PC and booked 3 flights to Belfast in June. No, I can't do summat that exciting, just no.

                    But we did
