Busy Morning

So we had a relatively busy morning. Once MM was on board we headed down to Iechyd Da to pick up my veg then straight to More Reasons To Shop at.... (noisy) to do the rest of my weeks shopping. After we brought it home and put it away etc we headed to the frsking gym and I did mainly arm work on various machines

Tying Laces

And while I was tying my laces I sat up and crossed my legs to make my foot be reach-able. Lordy but that is still seeing like a new practice that I wasn't capable of doing a month ago

Tara Freya

Then we went out and bought Freya a dinner. We popped to Hen Dderwen which wasn't bad. Andr where they have a separate menu for veggies. Same products as the general menu but you don't have to look thru 76 meaty items to find yours

And where we followed Freya and were drinking proper fruity cider, none of your Strongbow stuff

Visit

And we popped into the shop where she was working and took her off for a coffee and I fell the need to write much more but I need a sleep now. I was well impressed with the troubles she has overcome. She used to be in a wheelchair too

Dentistwards

So first thing today we have to pop to the chemist next door to the Drs where I left my 'script yesterday for more sockings then we have to go to the Dentist half way along Mansel St in Carmarthen. While I am there we might pop into the 2nd hand shop that I promised that I would visit when the woman who suffered a brain injury is working. I don't think she will be working today but as I can just say "Ah, here it is" and say hi to her Mother who owns it

And we pooped into the dentist. Not even a small filling was required, which was nice. So obviously my new method of brushing is working.

Rhian-ning

So we are heading over to see (the beautiful) younger physiotherapist Rhian in a bit. Hopefully she will carry on working on my hands and arms

And didn't she just. We did loads of it seemed random exercises but ultimately they were all to basically fix/mend my right wrist

And it occurred to me later that Rhian-ning is a bit of a come on,

Rhian is her name and Ning used to be my nickname.
Ning the Merciless, Wang the Perverted springs to mind

Sigh

So first thing today we headed over to the Drs to fetch my 'script for sockings. Walked into the chemist next door and they said "Sorry, none today, come back after 10 tomorrow". So I had to say "So will you pay for my parking tomorrow?" and I also had to say that opposite where I was sitting it said "Pain relief" but that was no good to me, my pain was in my heart, looking at all the beautiful staff who work there........

Ouch

And I still have a massive bruise from where I had the blood tests last week

Walkies

Then after nap me and GGtGG headed into town for a walk. When we got there we parked at the end of Blue St/Lammas St, from there we walked along, crossed St Catherines St, up past Debenhams to the top of St Catherines Walk, back down as far as M&S then across to John St, up Jacksons Lane, past Iechyd Da to King St. Along there to the end then back and down past the old Guild Hall back to the car.

It doesn't sound very far but we were walking for more than an hour. But I can walk now, no rest involved

Cycling @ Gym

So we hummed and hawed then in the end we came to gym to exercise instead of swimmimg and when we came in the pool is *full* of kids, there is no way we could have got in with them all. And it is fairy nuff as I have to go see one of the beautiful physios tomorrow instead of gymming

Half way there, 5km to go

And I did it, all 10km of it in, IIRC, just under 50 minutes

But there is a new thing, for the past week or two I have just cycled the 10km without having to stop for a rest, just get on and go kind of thing

Happy Haircut

So s'afternoon GGtGG suggested to me that I need a haircut and it looks better than before now, he's narrowed the mohawk somewhat

Where Are We Going?

Later....

So we nipped down to the C&M Organics Thank You Party and it was a bit excellent. First of all we set off for a tour around the farm which I couldn't really cope with, it was too muddy/slippery so we cried off, but it was generally lovely. Loadsa folk just saying hello etc and I had a full on proper dance called by the dance boss which was excellent. Again I am just astonished what I can cope with, do now

Lust

Then I was back in Sam's class. Which was as hard as ever but again I am getting better at it. I thought "Look, no holding on, I did it all in standing position" which I think I thought last week too

THEN

So Freya got loadsa online reaction to the Harry Potter Day while I was having my nap and then going out almost straight away to another Iechyd Da Monthly Folk Night which I did enjoy. There were a couple of newbies that I don't have any memory of and I  was most impressed with a brunette woman playing and singing

Who was there before according to my MOS

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.....
