Fredumpkins

So we went off and fetched Freya as she is back at her Mum's finished the year at Uni

Hooray

Then we went to Aqua Aerobics. Which was as hard as ever but I am getting better at it. This eek I really noticed the standing on just my right foot aspects.....

But I was a bit annoyed, she said to everyone at one point "Watch, your bottom....." but I was jealous, I thought that was my job

Chopped

So s'morning I had to go to the toe chopper who did that and scraped off some hard skin &c

Came back, had a late early lunch then I am off to Aqua Aerobics in a bit

Hectic AM

So s'morning first we have to head down to the toenail chopper in Carmarthen. Then we need to come back here, pick veg &c and have an early lunch. Then get changed into tomorrows clothes and my swimming trunx, put the old clothes onto wash then go to an Aqua Aerobics class.

Then s'evening that Freya is coming to visit me, as she is back from u=Uni for a few months

How Much

And I was so attempted to ask an assistant "How much is yours?" after I saw the note outside about the price

Still Broken

And me and Timmy tried to sort out my bedroom PC but we couldn't. I emailed the seller, wait and see what he says

Physio-ing

Then s'morning we had an early lunch then headed off to Pyle to see the temp physio, Rhian (I asked her how to spell that) and she did all kinds of mainly stuff on my arms which had improved it before we left

Lovely Weather

Today, lovely

New HDD

And my old HDD won't connect to any computer, both new and old. However it still connects to the laptop so I have bought a new drive, we will plug them both into the laptop and transfer all the tunes

We haven't been able to stop the PC switching itself on tho.....

I Timed It Well

So I went outside and cut my lettuce &c today. I set the lettuce by the sink and thought "It's a bit too early to eat....", sat down by my PC and it is raining now, I missed it when I went outside

What A Day #27

Well, s'morning we didn't have much to do, had an early lunch then headed off to Headway Neath for a couple of hours, came back, bathed etc then the chap arrived and delivered the new PC for the bedroom but I was busy cooking, so we ate and then me and MM came into the bedroom and started setting up the second hand PC. It all went well except my keyboard had an old fashioned connection so we nipped to Tesco to buy a new keyboard. Which we did, it didn't cost too much then we came back and got it all plugged in etc. We got it working, connected to my webpage but MM can't get the CD's in the outside HDD to play. So we plugged in a physical CD, got that working so it will do for tonight. Timmy the expert is in tomorrow so he can plug it in properly

Aargh, the PC turns itself back on afterwards. No matter how I switch it off......

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
