Opened My Eyes

This program is very long but as I get thru it I am feeling more favorable about These Punks.

If you are gonna watch it leave an hour aside to watch it all

To Gym, To Gym, To Buy A Fat Pig

So we popped to gym to a different but similarly levelled class. Which was meant to be taken by someone else but actually had That Sam in charge. There were some familiar exercises and some new ones which Sam had to explain. And yes, I feel knackered but healthier, same as usual

Hoo-flippin'-ray

So as it is all confused by half term at gym and there is no swimming class today I had thought we would go out for a long walk today but GGtGG has just arrived and says "There is another worker running a class at the same level as Sam at 2pm today, we are going to that".

So I thought "Yo"

Off Out

And we are off in a bit to try and make a bat box at the Men's Club in Ferryside

Ooooh. Didn't I do well. We dug out a piece of wood, marked all the cuts on and cut it into about 8 "bits" for the box. That has been left on the side there for next week's nail gunning

And wasn't it extra fun using the "cutting it" tools, powered ones again

BT Feck Up

And the BT Broadband has gone down tonight, for the past hour anyway, still nowt.

And RoyGBiv went outside to phone {1} them and see if there was a problem. When he came back indoors I said "They are sorry, they know there is a problem and they are trying to fix it as quickly as possible?". He said "Yes, pretty much"

 {1} As his mobile doesn't work indoors here

And we popped to the Men's Club and came back and the Broadband was back

Restful

As we have already done the cycle we have a restful nooneraft then to Ferryside Men's Shed Club where I have the design to take of a bat box after making the bird box last week

Uber Cycle

So it was a bit strange going to gym s'morning but I think that many of the kids were away doing some kind of outdoor fun as the weather wasn't too bad so I went in and did a mega cycle, 10km. On the way I warned RoyGBiv not to be looking too closely at my time as my leg was so hurt over the weekend but actually I made it under 50 mins which wasn't too slow

Back To Normal Now

Lord, I feel a bit strange after the messing about yesterday and I do feel that I haven't slept very well but there you go. So it is all back to..... and it is Tuesday already even tho yesterday felt like a Friday or summat

Swimming Woes

So we popped to gym later than usual for a swimming session that had been moved cos it's school holidays and it was fscking cancelled. So we got in anyway and did sum exercises

Less Sore

And my right leg is noticeably better today, as it was predicted. Still a bit wonky but not half as much as yesterday

Marginally Scary

So a bit of a strange day today. So s'afternoon we are heading to WaterWorks for the first time. It is like AquaAerobics but with a different teacher. So I will have a shower after that then come back here for a late lie down then off to pick up that Freya who is just down for a weekend then take her out for dinner.

I think she was down to babysit her ex-step fathers brothers(?) kids but they are all too poorly to do owt and she had already bought train tickets so she came down to stay with her Mum for a few days

So she came down (Well, we fetched her), that was nice, we had a pleasant night

Much Better

And my right knee, which I made sore yesterday 'cos I was doing so much stuff during the class on Friday, is much better today. Still hurts some but not half as much

So later we popped into town so GGtGG could fetch some printer paper. We parked on Lammas St as usual and walked to the paper shop. But I insisted on it being therapeutic for my wonky leg and walked uphill past the court onto King St, then round and down by Iechyd Da and back to the car that way

Not Scary, Useful Memory

So s'morning I woke up and just remembered, Gord nose how, to wash my bedsheets. Years ago I used a have to stick notes on the inside of my bedroom door to remind myself, since then my memory is just getting "better"

Scary Memory

So I was walking into the kitchen earlier and out of nowhere I remembered that I used to have a chair next to my cooker as I was too poorly to stand up and cook for half an hour

Scary memory

Toasty

It was nearly frosty last night

Dim Shout-io

So we have worked summat out. I haven't raised my voice, shouted, at MM even once today. He must have learned not to challenge me at all or summat

I Was Winning....

Further into the game, I still lost but......

Gymming

Lordy, so I went to gym to my weekly class today. Yes, it was as much fun as usual but..... fark..... So a) I was on the larger of the two steps and I stepped up and down for 2 minutes and only had to hold on with my hand 3 times, like grab and release again. I was going up & down the big step just balancing on my legs. *And* 2) I was eventually able to go up and down both sides of the sideways one without holding. I say eventually as it was harder but I did it in the end.

I did the rest of my exercises leaving my walky stick lying on the floor next to me too, all balanced by myself

So yes, my right knee feels as if it has been beaten up after all this but it still keeps me walking

Posh Html

So someone sent a link to a page which I glanced at. There is a part of me that goes "UberWow". So when you scroll down the page the txt moves quicker than the background image. I suspect it is some javascript cleverness but it did rather impress me (Doesn't work on some mobile phones)

Usual Thursday

So first things first we headed to Iechyd Da and were on the third trip down King St before a parking space appeared. Actually two next to each other. So again "they" hadn't taken loadsa veg out of my box and put it away. AND I said "See you later(1)" too. THEN we popped to Morrison's where I bought the rest of my weeks shopping. So then we brought it home and put it away etc

Then before lunch we popped to gym where I did 3 and a quarter KM on the rowing machine, the new usual distance. But again I am just getting better at it

 (1) Open Mike night tonight
