Cooking Error

So yesterday I cooked, divided into portions and froze most of my weeks food. I had some by myself tonight (It is Timmy working) and it was delicious.
BUT today I opened the drawer in the fridge to take out my salad pack for lunch and found behind that a bag of 250g of Curly Kale which I hadn't added to the food and I couldn't think of a way of cooking it and adding to frozen packages
Oops

Proper Cooking Day

So I am back to cooking on a Saturday and as Mark said "I did well".
But we popped out to the market today for some last minute Xmas shopping and I forgot, the sauce pan was on the cooker turned lowest but still on when we went to town. No harm done, it was fine but a bit unnerving

Shopping

And we popped out s'afternoon and got Xmas pressies for my old bro and his wife and my young bro. I knew what I had in mind for Dink, we popped there and found summat for Gareth about 10 yds away. Utterly different stall but it's done

Shock Horror

So I found myself going to drink "some beer" at boozing strength. It was empty when we passed 2 folk on the way out/in but then later more folk were drinking, so he didn't have to focus on.........

We're Off

And in a bit we are going to the only gym class that I attend in the week. Just lordy, how different this class is compared to one I started in a while ago
Double lordy. I am just better than I was last week etc
And today I took it upon myself to use the stretch backwards tool which is attached about 10 ft off the ground, so I held on and sat right down before pulling myself back up using my arms. (Kind of like this, sort of.)  It is not a machine I was s'posed to use but even Sam was impressed at how well I did it

Chilly

Yes, Timmy has just been outside to move his car and he says it's freezing

No, Today It Is

No, today is Friday, now...... it's not Saturday, it going to gym class day

Friday Today?

And for a number of hours now I have been thinking that tomorrow is Saturday. Dunno how or why but I have to go to Sam's Class tomorrow @ gym. It was not today.......

Gym

Then just before lunch we popped to the gym and I did my 3.25km cycle. And it was about 2 minutes quicker than last week

Phew

So Timmy and I popped into Iechyd Da then Morrison's and all I can say is I am so glad that we had the new FES straps, so walking wasn't a problem

Chicken Dinner

And I am in bed tonight lying not going to sleep and I have just, for the first time, won a game of pool on my 'phone

Habit Now

Well so today I am walking without my 'stick again, seems to be force of habit now

Where's The Car Key?

So we came out of gym today, I reached into my pocket and where was the car key? I use the same pocket every time, no wasn't there. So we went in out of the rain, I handed my bumbag to GGtGG who looked in every pocket. To no avail. I was just starting to panic when GGtGG opened the big bag that had contained everything when we were in the pool and started looking thru it. At the very end, at the very bottom of the bag he reached in and produced the car keys. Dunno how they got there but at least we were able to drive home

We Tried It

And even tho I won't need my FES on today we tried it on, with alternative wires etc and we couldn't make it work, Roy was right.
So hopefully the new wires will arrive while I am at pool or else they will arrive after we need to go shopping etc in't morning
No, phew, they arrived while we were in't pool, we got back, changed them over, tried on my FES and it worked!!!!!! So big phew about using it for shopping tomorrow

Drowning

So we are off to the sw*mming po*l, to an Aqua Aerobics class again in a bit......
Hoo-fscking-ray..... but even tho it is such fun it is doing me loadsa good so I shouldn't complain too loudly, but......
And bother GGtGG has remembered his trunx today so it is a go.....
And wasn't it fun. But as she said aren't I getting better and better at doing various exercises

Why Not?

And why did I never experience anything like this when I was in a care home?

FES Crisis

So we couldn't get my FES to work on the way to gym earlier. When we left I put it back on and it was working then if I stuck my right hand out horizontally to the right. After we got out of the car it had died completely. Roy changed the wire etc, no avail. So he phoned "them" and they said they would sent out new bits. Dunno. So not going out tonight, we will see if GGtGG has any more luck tomorrow

Tonight

And tonight we are going to the Men's Club again but it feels a bit strange. As we have nowt to make what shall we do there? Roy said "Just go along and chat" but that feels strange too, what do I have to chat about?
Now I think we have called it off. As we are having trouble making my FES work today and as the Men's is a standing on your own two feet exercise "we" decided no

Stroppyness

So we popped to gym earlier and I got stuck into the cycling machine. I did half the distance required, I stopped after 5 km instead of doing 10 but did say "What other machine should I use?" so then I went on and did some "Pulling arms backwards" exercises
I did get stroppy at RoyGBiv, as he was trying to beat me so he had time to recover afterwards but I had to say "Stop it, you are going too fast and I am going as fast as I can manage"

It Doesn't Drip

And I have noticed everywhere in my house that there is no longer the sound of the tap in the kitchen dripping in the background. It wasn't too loud before but my house is quite small etc so you could pretty much hear it from everywhere. No more
Possibly you might say "Everywhere??  OCD" but I could hear it
