FTF

Well we popped out first thing and fetched the organic veg from Iechyd Da and said "See you later" to them.

Now we are & home for an hour before picking up that Freya and taking her out for an early birthday treat

And we are off in a couple of minutes..... (not that I am excited.....)

S'afternoon

We are taking Freya for a birthday treat today (even tho it is not her birthday yet)

Hopefully she won't look at this and spoil the surprise.....

Ooooh wasn't that good. We had sandwiches, all kinds of Harry Potter tat, some "Beer" stuff, all with a constant Harry Potter theme tune playing. My description isn't impressive enough. We had a lovely time and Freya got loads of online reaction.

Ultra Shopping

Then after dinner we popped to Morison's and did the weeks shopping a day early as I will be well busy tomorrow.

First of all to Iechyd Da to fetch the weeks organic veg, then to gym, then taking Freya out for an early birthday treat as she will be away when her birthday comes, then again to Iechyd Da for the once a month folky night (noisy)

More Shopping

Then later at GGtGG's call we went to The Range and bought another couple of Cafetieres for my kitchen cupboard and a couple of little token gifts for Freya's birthday

Paddling

So we headed over to St Clears, to the Llety Cynin Leisure Club to go swimming. It was a bit strange but we got the "family" changing room. I had to do 14 lengths or so because it is so small but we managed.

We will be back there tomorrow with Freya for a birthday treat (even tho it's not her birthday yet, she will be away for that)

What A Noon'eraft

Well we headed Docwards and was seen by the nurse. She said she was amazed about how much better I am etc, I am no longer in the type 2 diabetes "range" etc. Frankly she was amazed and pleased.

Before I saw her I popped into the other bit of reception and asked for my 'script. She had no record of my order, the "system" had been broken over the weekend but she said "I will print it out now and try to get it signed before you come out from the nurse. Which she did

Then we popped into the chemist next door and they had only 1 in stock (I had ordered 2) but gave me that 1 and a note about the other. We got into the car and I said "There is no 'when' on here, go back and ask them", he popped back and said "Within the hour". So we headed round town, to buy more mop heads for "him" and to get a card for Freya's birthday then popped back and fetched the other item. Phew, all done but I am way late for my nap.....

Don't Forget

And I must remember to piss in my sample bottle first thing in't morning and take it to show to the nurse at lunchtime

Which I did recall and it is sitting in the bathroom waiting......

And hooray we need to head to gym first and do some exercises. I refused to do the 40 minute cycle that's on my timetable as I need to be still functional after lunch when we are at the Drs

Well we popped to gym. So Roy suggested various machines after doing stretchy exercises and then, to show I wasn't lazy, I went on an extra newbie tool, the hand peddler for 5 minutes

It Rains In Wales

Most days..... a pic of the sky full of clouds

Headwaying

So we are off to Headway again for a sufferers meeting

And it wasn't actually too bad. I decided on the way down to integrate myself with other sufferers, not just sitting with MM and that is what I did. 

Saying Hello

So I was sitting out the front s'morning when one of the neighbours passed. In the past I have had trouble making myself heard 30 feet away but I tried to raise my voice but not be shouting and I seem to have got it right today. I didn't shout but he turned round and replied

It Occurs To Me

I have thought so recently and it really was brought to my attention today. We popped out in the car s'morning and didn't get back for nearly 3 hours. In the past that would have required loads of stops for the loo but today I didn't pee until we were back home

... And About

So Timmy and I headed out s'morning and first of all we checked out the private shallow swimming pool in St Clears which I think we will try (and pay for) on Wednesday(*) next week. Then we just went a long way round on the way back, even looking over the river to where I used ta live

(*) Monday, my other swimming day, is filled up by a meeting of Headway this week

Start To Weekend

So Timmy came in today, said "Any plans apart from buying car?" so very shortly after that we headed into the Toyota garage and left less than an hour later having just ordered a new hybrid car. He will be in touch in 2-6 weeks and tell us to pick it up

Just wow etc, that went quickly and well

Unexpected

And Freya txted me today and said "Sat, when we said we would meet. I am actually working 'til 10PM. Today....?" I had to say "Aargh, I am half way thru cooking, meet you in an hour?"...... which we did, went to a pub together and didn't get too drunk, we enjoyed each others company

Less Hectic But Still Hard Work

Then s'afternoon I had the pleasure (?) of one of Sam's classes. What can I say, fecking hard work but ultimately worth it

Hectic Morning

So first of all today we have to go to the Drs for my blood test (and get a piss container), then we have to head to Morriston Hospital in Swansea to get the replacement FES device, then we need to go to gym to Sam's once a week class

Well the start of the day went OK. We went to the Docs for jab which only took 5 mins then we were off to the FES Clinic in Swansea where "they" had left another FES controller to be swapped for my broken one. That was easy and we are now in the car on the way back for lunch before Sams class where I will wear the new one 

Wow

And Timmy took a call s'afternoon and basically the chap said "We have got a spare FES, come and fetch it tomorrow, swap for the old" so after my blood tests in the morning we will head to Swansea before I head to gym class

Trip Out 3

Then later we tripped out again to B&Q to get a new toilet flusher for the staff loo which Timmy fixed. Well apparently

No, he has demonstrated it to me, ooooh

Trip Out 2

And when we were in Iechyd Da s'morning she said "You coming here tonight for the gig?". The answer was a big "YES"

Gymwards

After we had brought the shopping home we headed out to gym where I did about 80% of my 10km cycle ride as it was switched up even higher than before
