Gymtastic

Then I popped to my gym class s'afternoon and it went as much better than last week as it has been doing for some weeks. Again walking with stick and putting it down to do all kinds of scary exercises etc.

And we did sort out that there is an Aqua Aerobics class on Monday from 2.45 'til 3.30. So I think that after next weeks Headway session I shall try that too. Dunno, if it seems better fun than Headway I might swap permanently, dunno yet. Oh it is called Waterworks or summat, but I think the rest of my timetable will look the same, just change that

Cleaning Up

And GGtGG has been cleaning up outside all morning, scrubbing between stones to remove all the extra weed/plants that are trying to take over. I have given him the car keys so when he has finished this section he can move on to beneath the car

Still Runny

And I have used and thrown away 5 or 6 tissues already today, I have been up for an hour and a half so far....... Fscking flu jab

Na'an Strangeness

And we couldn't buy Single Massive Na'an Bread today, like we did last week, there wasn't any for sale. So instead we bought 2 single smaller (but much bigger than the original ones are these days) pepper and posh foreign cheese ones. Dunno, see how they are tomorrow

Xtra

And I popped to gym and did an extra quarter kilometer on my rowing, so now I have a new distance to row every time I am rowing. For now, then it will go up again. But I think I will have to be stroppy then and say "Enough" and go for a walk or summat as I am bored with rowing for so long

But I did notice today that I didn't have to stop to get my breath back at any point today, I just did it from start to finish. After sitting down for 14 years my fitness is starting to come back

Runny Nose

And as an after effect of my flu jab yesterday I have got a runny nose today

Dun It

So we headed off to Iechyd Da first s'morning, bit of a struggle to get into the parking space but we managed. And this week the MOS knew that was my order, leave it alone......

And afterwards we headed to MoreReasonsToShopAt..... (noisy link) and did the rest of the weeks shopping

Off Out

So we went to my local pub tonight but it was shut. So we headed into town, avoiding the pub I useda drink in when I was in the care home, instead we made it to The Old Oak (in Welsh Yr Hen Dderwen) on King St in town. It is relatively busy

To The Docs Too

Then today immediately after nap (if I have time at all for complete nap) we have to go to the Docs as he is checking me up on my diabetes, a review

Well I had a good aqua aerobics session and there is only time for 25mins rest before I'd better get ready for docs

Well we went and did it. He said 'Yes you're doing well' and gave me a flu jab and that was done

Cleaning

And GGtGG got stuck into cleaning all the dust off the car today, it looks a lot more respectable now

And I found some mess on the inside of the window in the kitchen and was just able to rub it clean with a tissue

Akwa Ayrobikz

Hooray. So I have to go to the Aqua Aerobics class today and ask her about the other session, whether I can make it to both as Timmy has decided that I need a diary refurbishment.

So we need to ask Sam about going to a different session re gym too.......

Wow

So I went along to the Men's Club tonight thinking I was gonna have to do some cutting with a saw etc. Just by gord, one of the assistants was helping me most of the night and I used power saws, power drills, nail gun etc and made my bird box almost completely. It needs to be treated with some treater and some hinges put on for the top.

But just by god, I thought I wouldn't be able to do much as I am "a cripple".....

As If By Magic

And MagicMark cleaned all the dust off all the windows today. Lordy, it looks loads better, they got really dirty yesterday afternoon

Chaps Club

Then when we pop to Men's Club later I have got a design of summat to make which we will take along and see whether there is enuf spare bits of wood to cut this out or whether we need to buy some and bring it next week

The design I am taking is for a bird box, potentially if that goes well there is also a design for a bat box

Docs

So off to the docs first of all to pick up a 'script for me then off to gym and, I suspect, do another mega-cycle

Ho hum. So we went to the Docs first, picked up the 'scripts, into the chemist on the way out and picked up the goods. Some of which I am in charge of and some of which I gave to MM to put "away" for future use

Then we popped to the gym and mega-cycled. Again my head is a bit disconcerted about how much better at this I am compared with a few weeks ago

Traffic

Aargh, the "light traffic" app has come back on my phone by itself, I was looking for it for a couple of days, couldn't find it, and it came back when I was in bed asleep last night

Windy Day Today

The hurricane is getting closer.... (noisy link)

And as the wind gets stronger and stronger (it is well noisier than when I recorded it s'morning) I think that we can't go outdoors and walk from the car, go swimming. But GGtGG says "No, carry on"

Well it seems to have calmed down now, 7.30pm and it is still noisy but less noisy

Yes, it's 9.30 now and much quieter still.... Phew

Yes, in t'morning we were able to put the hanging decorations back up......

《Sigh》

Well off to the fscking swimming pool today.....

Hooray....

We did it. In, some walking back and forward, walking backwards, walking sideways then eight lengths. I tried to stop at six but he was a grumpy sod who had the key to the locker in his pocket so I had to continue

Crisis

And MagicMark who is s'posed to be working tomorrow has just phoned Timmy and cried off. His car is broken and it is a bit of a journey from Swansea, where he lives, to here

Well in the end GGtGG phoned him and said he would swap tomorrow for the Wednesday he was s'posed to be working

Stickless

And tonight I walked from the kitchen to the loo with no walking stick. I will have to get some advice about whether this is sensible but the very fact that I can....

And My Advisor said "Yep, indoors that's fine, but outside you need your stick, for a variety of reasons"
