I Want One Like This

Oh please, I do

From The Guardian tonight

Getting Dark

And it seems to have been getting dark a lot earlier than it was yesterday for weeks IYSWIM

Walkies

So we went out s'morning to get more coffee for staff etc. We parked up opposite Aardvark and walked from there up past Debenham's to the top of the shopping center, back down and back out then back past the car to Wilkos to fetch some cleaning products etc (redun map picture, again!!)

New Job For RoyGBiv

Ohhhh, I was a bit impressed with how he did s'morning so he may have a new job, cleaning the windows

Visitor

And that Toby chap is coming from England to see me and his mum today

He rode down on his motorcycle.....

Just lordy. First of all Toby was late because he had "dropped" his bike. Aargh, crashed? Fell off? Aargh, they are so scary and dangerous..... No, he had been standing next to his bike, parking it at Julia's and had literally dropped it. Apparently he has never fallen off so .......

Anyway we popped to the pub in the evening and Toby bought me some pints, he has a job now, he is a grownup

AND my staff were talking to each other s'morning and commented on how the
conversation with Toby just went. There was no awkwardness, no 'what shall I
say', it just went. Which is well different than "last year"

No Longer Scary

And by now I am better enough after my fall (over a month ago) that I am no longer scared of going to Sam's Stroke Class @ gym which I will be at 2pm today

AND I noticed yesterday (it was the first time I have consciously noticed) that my coccyx is no longer hurting. Phew etc

[sigh]

Lordy yes I am as functioning as I was before my accident, in some ways better but that's just progress. But again when we were standing still and doing various exercises I just ditched my walking stick to the floor and tried all the exercises unsupported

Confused

And I got a bit confused trying to sort out my bookmarks etc as t'other day I stopped using Google Chrome as my web browser and got onto a not spying on me one, but I had to cry "Timmy" and he came and told me what to do to sort it out

Walkies

More Evidence of how much better I am after I recovered from my fall

Usual Thursday.....

So we have the usual Thursday Morning on, to Caffi Iechyd Da to pick up my organic veg, then to MoreReasonsToShopAt.... then me pop to gym and do sum exercises.

Then we have lunch and catch my breath.....

And I have got to say "Missing you next week already" to Caffi.....

Well Timmy had to run down to get the veg while I was sat in the car in the middle of King St as there were no parking spaces and no one coming down the street behind us. So he did say "Missing you next week" from me. Then we popped to Morrisons and did the rest of my weeks shopping. SO after putting veg away etc we popped to gym where I did my 3km cycle quicker than last week etc

Then we came back and ate a marginally late lunch 

What Fun.....

And we are off to the Aqua Aerobics session today.......

(sigh)

And as we didn't queue up to see the attendant on the way in, just did the waving card at the machine, the machine didn't say "No aqua aerobics today", we didn't find out until after we were changed and heading for the pool. So we had a swim anyway but it wasn't the same

Off Out Tonight

Then after dinner tonight we are heading to Ferryside to try and find the Men's Shed which is some kind of doing stuff together club. Dunno what to expect, wait and see.....

Well. that was good. Everyone was quite talented but friendly, chattable which was nice. So I spent an hour going "I can't...." but then I got stuck into cleaning off a 1940's machine which is now a lot more useable

AND I spent two and a half hours standing on my own two feet!!!

Ride A Bike

So I am in gym riding a bike ATM. See if I can do all the Km it sez on my diary

Well that was hard work. But I did it. Thought "Lordy, I am so knackered I will stop at 5Km". Reached 5 and just pushed on, until I made it to 10Km

A Misty Morning

Hooray....

And I am off to the swimming pool today, there's nowt on to distract me. And I am going with my PT Professional Swimming Instructor, Mark.

Just sing HOORAY, I am looking forward it so much (he said sarcastically)....

And "Oh what fun we had....." redone link now

Pubwards

So we went to the pub tonight and I didn't have any spirits

Fark

Someone* didn't study Latin at school but they still knew this

Dunno what to say......

Listen

So you should listen to some poems from the PunkPoet

COP

Aargh, I have just received an email from that Stu-rit saying he usually goes to Men's Shed on Tuesday evening, which would suit me more than today so I suspect a change of plan has occurred

Tomorrow Morning

So.... perhaps..... but what to do when I am there?

Isn't She Lovely......

So we headed for one of Sams Stroke classes and just "ooooh" I am getting better in so many ways now. For a start I seem to have fully recovered from my drunk fall a month ago. For a second during the class when we were doing various 'stand on one foot' type of exercises I left my walky stick lying on the floor next to me and I was able to do all the exercises (loads, about 15 minutes worth) by standing and lifting both legs in turn etc.
