MaƱana

So tomorrow morning RoyGBiv has to take me to the Drs where they are gonna inject my arse with testosterone. Then we need to come back and have an early lunch before going to Sam's gym class then if I am feeling well enuf later we will head up to The Local Pub where there is gonna be a Ukulele Band or somesuch (potentially loud link, the last one)

Snow Gone

So after yesterday's snow it is back to Wales tradition, it is raining again today

Thursday Morning

So we have the usual Thursday morning walk about to the shops etc but it is fecking raining today. So first of all it is park on King St and walk all the way down that walkway to Caffi Iechyd Da then a trip to More Reasons To Shop At.... then to gym.
Then stop for lunch
Well we did it. First of all to Iechyd Da where it was raining so heavily that Timmy said "Stay here" and ran down to the shop and back with the food. Everything was there apart from salad packs which I added to the Morrison's list which was quite short as we had to get f all from there but we did it.
Then came home and put it away and went to gym where it was rather busy but we avoided the queues and got on the rowing machine. Today I was supposed to stop after 2.25km which I did

......Chicken Dinner

Winner winner.......

Pool

So we went swimming and showed my card to get in and she told the next person in the queue behind me that there was no Aqua Aerobics session today, the MOS was off sick.
So we had a drowning session

Snow

There was nowt when I went to bed last night but when I woke up s'morning there are a couple of cm of snow everywhere
And by the time we went to the swimming pool it had completely disappeared. Like 100%

Melt Down

And the snow which was trying to lie earlier seems to have melted off the streets etc
Phew
But I think as it was icy etc when we woke up s'morning and will get icy after dark we won't attempt to go to the Men's Shed tonight

Cycling

So HOORAY we have come to the gym to get stuck into cycling. So I have done 1km so far, only another 2 and a bit to go
Done 2 now, only 1 and a bit to go
No Neil. Don't get too excited and get off at 3.25km like you tried. As GGtGG pointed out it is 3.25km on the rowing machine, it's 10km on the bike
5 done now
Well finished. Knackered but I did it. And I had to be told to stop. I was going for another quarter of a km like I do on the rowing machine but "No Neil" he had to tell me

OCD

Not that I suffer from OCD but  I was eventually able to finish a game today. Most of the other dates for games have 2 or 3 dots to celebrate finishing but the bottom left one here (and a few other earlier dates) have got no stars at all because it took me loads of attempts to actually finish it

Bother

So MM came in s'morning and saw my towels etc in the hall and said "Oh, are we swimming today?". I said "Yes, haven't you got your trunx with you?" hoping in the extreme but he said "Nah, they live in the back of my car, that used to be my job"
Bother
Well didn't it happen.  ¾ of an hour of jumping etc. And I did feel that I was better at standing on just my right foot and kicking with the left. And I hardly had to hold on to the side at all, my general balance is well better

It's Chilli Tonight

Minus what?

Walkies

So me&Timmy headed out for a walk s'morning. Timmy said "Head to town walk up......" but I replied "No, lets walk up to the community center and see what's on. It's up the hill, past the pub but there is no problem, I can walk that far (and back) without any problem. Some bits are scarier than others as the pavement is well uneven, been dug up in parts but I could walk the whole way.
Having done that I can now say "There are no advertised *do's*"

Rugger

Well Wales are proving themselves better at rugby than Scotland s'afternoon. 27-0 in the first hour
34-0 and there are still 5 minutes to go
Well 34-7 it was in the end, Scotland scored at the very end

More Reasons To Shop At....

And we had to nip to Morrison's s'morning and pick up a bottle of org olive oil as I finished the last when cooking s'morning.
But I didn't take a basket with me as I had to resist the chocolate treats, I just carried the oil in my hand

Pubwards

So we went up to the pub tonight and drank some of their beer from a micro-brewery in the West Country, near Bristol and they are advertising a mega band next Friday but as I have to go to the Drs and have a jab in't morning I dunno if I am up for it

& Chips

So we had the na'an bread pizza and chips for dinner. We went back to smaller 2 na'an breads inna pack this week but it was good and big enough

Isn't She Wonderful

Well I have to go to see that Sam (noisy link) today.......
Gord, dunno what to say, I am getting better every week. Today I was doing the stand up and exercise with no stick and no chair to hold on to, using both arms and standing on both feet. Sam spoke to me at the end and suggested at some point taking a video of how much better I am at various exercises to send to someone else who was involved in my early care

Booking 2

And we have just booked the hotel for our stay in Belfast. We had looked at renting houses across the road from my Dad but in the end it was much the same price to book a hotel as we don't need a disabled room now

Rearranging

And Timmy had to phone the dentist and say "This appt in April, we will be in Belfast" so they just said "Come a week later, same time"
