Hot, Hot, Hot

Lordy but it's hot. (And it is even hotter now, quarter to eight)

By my RHS the window is wide open, to my left the door is wide open and it is still too hot in here

STILL warm tonight

Back To Normal, again

<sigh>

So we are back to normal again, swimming with MM if he has remembered his trunks at about lunchtime

</s>

Well we went swimming and it was much cooler in the water but by the time we were dried and dressed we were roasting again.

Now, in terms of getting better. I managed a width and two thirds hopping on just my right foot. A fortnight ago I could only manage 2 yds so it is obviously much better. And swimming, I just did all 8 lengths one after t'other. It is the first time I have managed that, I used to have to do it in two batches of 4, with a huge panting rest between

Hot Stuff

So I went outside to read at about 9.30 s'morning. I lasted about 12 minutes before I needed to come back indoors, out of the sun

It Knows

Well, it knows what the weather is like today

Burnt

As I am watching the news about the fire in the towerblock I can't help thinking of Hulme where I usedta live in Manchester. It was surrounding about 8 towerblocks which were being emptied and knocked down as they were seen as "dangerous". H&S gone mad but it was to keep folks alive

Fark - I'm a fan

Just watched yesterday's Dr Who and I had to grin most of the way through. By Gord but it is good stuff

Cloudy

Another cloudy, raining in Wales, night

And it is so cold that I am sitting wearing just a t-shirt
on my top half next to a wide open window at 8pm

Sunnier Today

And.....

Weekend Of Rest

So I was talking to one of the beautiful neighbours s'morning and she said "Quiet day, much gymming?" but I had to say "No, weekend of rest, it is too busy with kids all weekend until school starts again in Monday"

Lets Go

And I dunno where I found the photo but I found it again within mine last night and it's just perfect, where I wanna drink, where I have a costume for

Sigh

Well we went to Sam's class s'afternoon and I did it. Dunno what to say, I am just improving every week. Which a chap said to me today, he has known me for 4 or 5 years since I started in the basic class, couldn't walk and hardly move my right arm etc

First

First thing s'morning I was confused, getting the towels and the cream out of the bathroom to take them swimming, even tho it is my weekly gym class today (with Sam in charge!!!!!!), not swimming.....

Then me and MM headed to town, to the car park on King St, into the Drs then the chemist next door to get my prescription. That took most of the morning, as I need to have an early lunch before my Friday gym class.....

Oh Dear

Whoops!!!

Art Gallery/Museum

So last night one of my beautiful neighbours was talking to me. She said "So what will you do in the evening?..... Art gallery/Museum?". And I said "Gosh, I tried art galleries a long time ago when I was sitting in my wheelchair. Access wasn't that good and visibility was impossible, but now.......", so I think at the weekend me and Roy will perhaps explore.......

Sunny Day

And I took a pic out the window when I was s'posed to be napping today

Out Again

Then after my nap we headed into town. We headed to Charlies and picked up sum batteries, bird seed food and a frame to put around the very old picture of my Mum and Auntie Madeline that my father gave me when I was in Belfast. In terms of busy-ness we framed that picture, then we put up the second pic my Dad gave me of the ship he was on years ago

As Usual

So we popped into town, at first we couldn't find a parking space on King St but after going round and round for a while we found one. Walked down to Iechyd Da and fetched the veg. Then we drove to More Reasons To Shop At.... and fetched na'an bread, milk and yoghurt etc.

We headed home and put all that away then headed to gym and did loads of upper arm and body exercises. On one of the lifting weights upwards machines that last time I managed 12 of the 30 I am supposed to do, today I managed all 30, for the first time ever on that machine.

Then after time on the walking upstairs machine which I need to do every day when I am at gym(1) I did ages

(1) According to Sara yesterday

Uber Back To Normal

So today I have to go back to my "Thursday Shopping" unlike last week when I was away in Belfast for the weekend. So this week buy na'an bread to make into pizza tonight etc

Properly back to normal

I Know Where I Am

So when I woke up s'morning I knew I was in my bed in my flat, unlike yesterday

Drownless

So I missed one of my swimming sessions on Monday as I was travelling back and I will miss the aqua aerobics session today as we need to a) Travel to Pyle to see Sara doing all kinds of scary physio and b) As an after thought meet Denyse half way between both out base places so she can...... slag me off or whatever the notes say to do today

Well, what a day #27. So first of all I walked up the steep stairs (frightening Denyse and Timmy) into the meeting room upstairs where we..... held a meeting.

Denyse was actually not telling me off for loadsa stuff but she did say "Why are you off your mind, you must have been naughty". Then I did half an hour on the walky machine, turning round to walk both ways even tho it is much harder when my right side leads. But by the time we got back it was nearly dinner time and I needed a bath and nap first

AND as we were walking back down the long and steep stairs Denyse walked behind me holding onto my bumbag in case I tripped. I didn't and then she had to walk back upstairs to get her handbag and files etc as she couldn't carry them while keeping an eye on me
