It *Is* Winter

Brrr, it is fscking freezing today. We just popped to town to let Timmy buy a "on the wall calendar" and even with my jacket on over my shirt it was freezin' in town, glad to be home again, in the centrally heated house

Oh What Fun We Had

So, Sunday morning...... Well this week I had to do my washing on Sunday so listening to it now........ Dunno what we will do later, it feels a bit chilly today.......

Out

Then we popped out to the local pub and it was actually busy-ish tonight. And most of the night we were talking to someone who works where I used to live, Leonard Cheshire Home, she was an outsider who had followed work here

Out S'morning

So we popped out today to the tip and bought a bag of organic compost (for £2.50) and just went a bit off track when we were coming back. So we actually passed the first house we lived in in Wales which is actually for sale now, no longer to rent.

Then s'afternoon we popped out again just to walk around town, so we walked up the newish shopping center etc

But that led me to think, "What do folks actually do with their time??"

Dinner #17

Well as my sense of taste is a bit fscked I cannot be sure but I thought this weeks "stuff" that we had for tea tonight was very delicious. And MM said praising things too. The main difference this week was that instead of Curly Kale I had bought an enormous chunk of Broccoli which makes me wanna say "Yum, yum"

Jim

So we headed to gym for my once a week class today. Yes, I have got less fit after a week off but I could still do stuff that I couldn't manage a fortnight ago.

So it went well

Email Crisis

And loading the email prog has lead to a message "It can't load, we are trying to fix it" but as I was so busy in and out of the kitchen I didn't have time to cry. And just as I finished cooking it has fixed itself

Dinner #2

So as I got to make Na'an Bread Pizza last night I was a bit puzzled about today. If I am cooking "stuff" I need to put it on early and leave it on half the day but as I am off to gym s'afternoon I thought I would have to switch it off again etc.

So as it was I have done all the preparation of veg which is cooking slowly now. I will switch it off when I pop to gym then switch it back on later and add a load of lentils and chick peas which will be well cooked enuf by dinner time tonight

Dinner

And because Timmy wasn't working today I got to make my na'an bread which I purchased today into Pizza for tea. As the na'an bread were a bit larger I didn't cook too many chips with it.

But yummy

Not Timmy

And as they have had to change the rota a bit it is not Timmy coming to Iechyd Da to pick up my veg today!!!!!! It is GGtGG's duty today......

Well we did it. To Iechyd Da, parked on King St on the furthest away space, walked down and back to the car.

Then we popped to Morrison's got most of the stuff but had to nip to Tesco too for two items

THEN we went to gym before lunch and I did 3.25km of rowing machine, this is the device that I got confused about earlier in the week when I jumped off the bike early after 3km

Beer Pouring

Then tonight I had a can of beer which I poured using my right hand.

Yes, I am getting so much better at using my right hand

UberCycle

So we popped gymwards s'morning and Timmy said "No swimming, you are still blowing your nose, do you want to do a long cycle or one with fast bursts?" so I cycled for 20 mins going as fast as feck from 4.5 - 5 mins, same at 10, 15 and 20.

Dunno, I did, IIRC, 5km-ish which averages out at 15kmh

Wind Has Dropped

And last night's scary wind seems to have dropped again s'morning...... it's quiet again now...

Weep, bitter tears....

Dunno what to say, just modern technology..... and it is for sale to everyone, not even a specialist shop...

Not Adventurous

And as it is raining heavily I don't feel very like going to Men's Shed tonight, it is miles from where we park the car until we are undercover

Excess Shopping

So we popped to Morrison's s'afternoon to pick up some 'eat every day' products and some drinking chocolate, which I had a sachet of t'other night (which had been in the cupboard for... a couple of years) and rather enjoyed it so we were on a hunt for 'just add hot water' d/c

Oops

So we headed gymwards, did 2 lifty machines then got on the bike. I did 3km then jumped off and picked up my bumbag etc. RoyGBiv said "Aren't you gonna do the rest?". Ah, 3km was on the rowing machine, I was supposed to do 10km on the bike today.

Whoops. So he has been told to remind me next week......

Trialling

And again a trial....

Monkeys

Lordy, watching the program about chimp sanctuaries is a bit mind blowing

Why do chimp sanctuaries even exist???  Just double lordy....

Walk and Shout

So we decided to go to town for a walk around. We got there and the lower road was closed so we had to head up to King St and park up there. We walked down the hill and suddenly could see why the lower road was closed. Oodles of fox hunters were having a parade through town while loads of protesters shouted at them, which I had to join in shouting, the scumbags were showing off
