Harvested

So I picked the veg from my greenhouse today. But how shall I eat it?

Apparently it is nice raw in salad so I suspect one shall be chopped every lunchtime for a few weeks

Cooked

Well as I had time today I have made an enormous pan of Bollock-knees which boiled for an hour. I switched it off when I got in the bath but afterwards I need to add some RSL &c and kind of thicken it up

Well I thought it was yummy at dinner time but as my sense of taste is a bit wonky dunno. When MM has some tomorrow he can tell me

I AM getting better

So today was changing the bed. I still need help putting the sheet and the cover on but today I was able to do the pillow cases and thing cover.

Yes, it's not all of it but it is progress

OK. On the subject of getting better, someone has put a wedge under the kitchen door to keep it open in the wind. Now I use my right foot to arrange and kick it into place. Last year I had to use my left foot

No Time

And because we had been busy at the garage etc I didn't have time to cook (the 3+ hours for bollock knees) so we popped out to The Caraway Restaurant. My food was alright but Timmy had to complain and say "This meat is all runny, swap it for summat else please, I will just have a burger instead" so we weren't very happy with the trip out

BUT before we ate we headed into Carmarthen to stand on the footbridge and watch a "fun" rowing race. Which was strange but being able to stand for that long and walk that far is a bit encouraging. 

Hippy Cars

So we went out today to the Texaco garage and looked at their hybrid cars, starts on petrol, switches to battery, when battery runs out starts petrol again etc. I think ATM they are the most enviromentally solution that doesnt need plugging in every 40 moles

Roll On Monday

Then at some point on Monday someone is gonna deliver my new PC for the bedroom, either to me or the greenhouse if I am out.

£56 well spent, I hope

Oh The Fun....

And we are off in a bit to my one physio class of the week, "stroke" this one is aimed at...

And we had an early lunch so I had digested before going to class, I need to

Just by jazus, I am getting better every week.

The one that stood out for me was the stepping up and down and back up again without using my 'stick. And there were loads, I said to Sam about how my right foot is so much slower than my left foot doing a movement and she said "You didn't used to be able to use your right foot at all". And the stepping left and right, again with no stick and I managed to catch myself when I was a bit wobbly, again in the past I would have been on the floor

Ooh

And Timmy spoke to me yesterday about choosing a new Motability car and he said there are a small number of Toyota hybrids available without having to pay too much extra. So we will head out over the weekend, when he is working again, and have a look

Oooooh, a eco friendly hippy-mobile!!

Lordy

So then tonight I showed Timmy some of the links to cheap PC's that I found, to replace the one in the bedroom but eventually we just bought a refurbished one from Amazon, I think I am protected etc

Force Of Habit

It is just becoming more normal to walk about indoors with no walking stick

So Near So Spar

Then after lunchtime the postwoman came late and delivered my new monopod. Upon opening it it looks all wrong, won't fit on my camera so we went online and said "Give it back". So they said "Print this out, stick it to the envelope and take it to the Spar". Which we did but they said "No, computer system is down, try again tomorrow" so on the way to gym tomorrow (or way back from) we have another call to make.

It is the first time I have done a "Send it back" thing to Amazon and it wasn't too hard

What A Morning

So first of all s'morning me and Timmy had to head for the Drs to get my inhaler and a new cream. Fairy nuff except when we were finished I walked towards the door but Timmy had headed for the shortcut to the chemist. Oh yes, that way......

Then we had to head to Carri Iechyd Da to fetch my organic delivery. First time we went down King St someone in front of us nicked the parking space but second time around someone was coming out of a much closer parking space so we got that. I had to tell them that I will be late next week as we have to head to the hospital in't morning but that was done

Then we popped off to Morrisons and just about got everything, they were well short of organic milk but I found a big one with just about the right date on it

Then before lunch we headed to gym where I did 20 minutes on a rowing machine

No Stick

So I was sat on the bench out the front reading when the bin men came and took it away. The kind chap brought the waste carrier up to me and set it next to the bench. So I stood up, picked up the carrier and walked all the way around the front and up the side of my house to the spot outside the garage where I keep the carrier. Walked the whole way with my walking stick held horizontally off ground

But the back door was open for me to enter so I couldn't do it back round!!

Gloop Gloop Gloop

So I had an early lunch and then just after lunchtime we headed to Aqua Aerobics. Well the regular teacher was back for a start and......

Just WOW etc, I am noticeably better week after week.

So first of all in the car on the way there I told MM about how my kicking when swimming had noticeably improved on Monday with somebody else. Then during the class I was doing "Stand on your right foot and lift your left leg" without having to hold on. I was just balancing on my right foot without holding on or overbalancing, too much anyway

And just generally I was able to do all the exercises with my right wrist in the correct position, wasn't bent over unnaturally

10km-ing

So here we are in the fscking gym pedalling away like a good 'un. We have about another 7km to go....

And wasn't it fun, I finished quicker I think than last week

RHS Pic Crisis

So if I am trying to take pics with my right hand pressing buttons etc,  also need to do that when it is plugged into my PC to transfer pics etc

No, 'tis done now, etc

Folding It Up

And tonight I washed the 3 towels that I had used @ swimming pool and experimented with taking 3 more out if the cupboard and replacing them. The point came later when the sun had dried the towels. I took them to the cupboard, folded then one at a time and was able to reach upward and forward and put them away, by myself. It is the first time since 2003 when I haven't required assistance with this task. Looking in the cupboard now they look properly away, not wrinkled balls of....

Farewell Wrinkly PC

So I said to Timmy again, "Is there an issue with this PC, it is so slow", he had a look and said "Nah, it is just too old". So the only think I use it for are playing music (and looking at dirty pics at night) he swapped the music store and speakers to a spare laptop and it has a link to all my vulgarity, so it seems so far to be about 18 times quicker. So we have put the old PC to one side, we will see how I get on with the substitute

My Calendar

And I changed the month on the calendar s'morning instead of 2 or 3 days ago and it contains a beautiful picture of one of the tourist treats on the north coast of Ireland

Noisy

And the birds were cheeping s'morning. They were doing it moreso when I went out but by the time......
