No, not finished yet. So RoyGBiv had to spend ages cutting grooves into the wood for bats to grip on, because I just couldn't cut owt with a hand saw. I tried repeatedly but I think my arm broke and they thought I was gonna die so they didn't put it together properly or summat, it just doesn't work very well. But Roy made all the grooves look proper, so next week we will put it all together

Waterworks
So hopefully she will actually be here this week so if so then I am attending my first "Waterworks" session in the pool at the gym later
Well that went well. Lordy she does different exercises but I feel it has done me sum good. And we did a 'stand on your right foot, move left foot forward and bend the left leg' exercise where my right heel was staying on the ground*. My tofustrings are the best they have been in 15 years or so* First time it has stayed down since my accident, so it was an important event
Chicken Dinner
And last night I finally finished last months daily puzzle games, this is quite unusual to complete a month

Theraputic
So s'morning we popped into town, sat in the car for about 3 minutes 'til the rain stopped then we walked miles and back, from Lammas St, past M&S, up through St Catherines Walk shopping centre to the very top, then back, and it stayed dry until were coming home and it started to rain again, then it stopped again by the time we reached home
Fireworx AGAIN
Sorry, my mistake as they were saying on the radio all day yesterday how loadsa fireworx last night but tonight we will head down to the B&Q car park and look over the fence at....
Well it wasn't bad. The B&Q car park was full of folk watching the fireworks for free but it was an impressive enough show. As ever I was ready to go home having seen 2 seconds but we stayed through more bangs and flashes 'til the end

Double Fark
So I got an email tonight offering me many disabled aids, like loads
What will they think of next.....(This seems particularly relevant to me, I had to learn to use my left hand....)
Cooking On My Own Two Feet
So this morning I have been back and forwards about the kitchen, peeling veg, stirring the pan, chopping veg etc making loadsa food and I have been walking backwards and forwards without my walky stick and without holding on at all about 90% of the time, just getting about the kitchen on my own two feet

Relax
So then we headed to the local pub to try and be sociable on a Friday night. There was 2 couples sat together eating and eventually playing pool and just the 2 of us sat on the other side, in the end watching rugger on't telly
So there was me trying to be sociable and there was no one there to be sociable to
Isn't She.....
So while I was in Sam's class today she was doing a "stand with your feet apart" exercise. I caught her attention later and said "It just doesn't work for me, trying to stand like that" and she said "Ah, that's probably because....... you need to do this" which although I didn't have a chance to try did make complete sense to me and I think as that follows on from loads of other advice I have been given that it makes complete sense.
Hectic Day Started
So s'morning I started off with a hurried, very early, lunch then popped out to Lammas St to the toenail chopper and what can I do other than kind of moan uber-gratefully and kind of moan "Forever in your debt"
Then we popped to the Drs and said "Someone contacted you for a proof that Neil is still alive letter for his claim" and they said "Posted it to Anthony t'other day" so again I made grateful noises then leftThen we went straight to gym for my class
Then we panted a bit and said "Glad that's done"

Intimidating Morning, in the morning
AM Busyness
So we have the usual Thursday morning business today, to Iechyd Da to fetch my organic food then to Morrison's (noisy link) to fetch the rest of my shopping then to gym for some stressful workout
Well that went well enough. So first things first me and Timmy headed to King St, were able to park without too much delay, and walked down to Caffi Iechyd Da, it had just finished raining. Now as the newbie who took half my veg away t'other week now knows, my box was sitting on a table by itself, waiting for me, when we got there. So we fetched that and then popped to Morrison's where I again didn't have a load to buy, it was cheap this week
THEN after I had put it all away etc we headed to gym where I got stuck into cycling 3.25 KM again, this week I just got stuck in from the start and did it about 2 minutes quicker than last week
