Politics

I looked at the TV Guide and it sed A Lenny Henry Program so I thought "Give it a try" and good lord, the politics etc about slavery etc, I liked it, I was stuck for the whole hour which is unusual for me

Getting Better

So the last couple of times we were at the gym I got my MOS to open the doors for me as my right hand was hurting too much where the broken bones are still mending. But today I experimented with the easier to open door and it opened properly, no issue. So tomorrow I will try it on all the doors to see if I can manage that again

Not Swimming

So as the pool is full of kids on Easter Holidays we just went to the gym and used some machines, lifting and kicking etc. It wasn't fun but setting the weight just into the uncomfortable zone was the way to maximize good effects

AND I had been thinking "After lunch head out for a walk"  but it started to rain very heavily as I was eating.....

Learning About Pissing

And I commented to Timmy today that we had been out walking for ages and I hadn't been to the loo. I commented that last year I would have had to stop 3 times. He said yes, I am just learning how to hold it in again, like I had to when I was about 1 year old

Shirt

And I have been wearing a different shirt yesterday and today that I haven't been wearing recently as I couldn't cope with doing the buttons up with my right hand. But I seen much better at it than the last time I tried so........ being positive......

Walkies

So we popped into town s'morning and just walked for miles again

Such Fun

Oh we have had such fun today. So since about 9 o'clock s'morning  have been cooking and the pan stayed on the heat til about 4pm at which point I had to start baking the potato to go with the stuff. Which I was able to freeze 3 day's worth of and left tomorrows in the saucepan

Needy

I have just watched The Silent Child that was on telly earlier. Gord but it got me emotionally. She was as f*cked as a very f*cked person and they didn't know how to help her. Until someone who could understand her came along. That seemed a bit familiar....

Useful

And GGtGG proved himself useful tonight, he got stuck into mending the greenhouse and making it worth us planting next week

Walkies

So I said to GGtGG "Let's go out for a walk today" and headed into town. For more than three hours we just walked about. And up and down stairs too which made me wanna stop passers by and say "Look, I was in a wheelchair for 15 feckin' years"

As there is no gym class today I walked so far that he stopped saying "On a machine later at gym...."

Iechyd Ding

And we went to the monthly Folk Night at Iechyd Da and it was much busier than last month, both musos and spectators.

I did rather enjoy most of the night. Although as Timmy had to remind me I wasn't able to drink Red Wine as recommended by the Diabetes Nurse last week, I stuck to beer

Row Row Row Your Boat

So Timmy said "You can either go to gym and cycle....." but I got stroppy then and said "No, went cycling Tuesday" so we headed gymwards and got stuck into seeing if I could row, if my right hand would let me. Which it did, it did hurt my right hand but not too much so I just cracked on and did it

Thursday Morning

So we had the usual Thursday Morning business. First of all me and Timmy went to fetch my veg from Iechyd Da (and we got to say "See you later" as we will be heading there tonight for a monthly Folk Night) then we popped to MoreReasonsToShopAt... for the rest of the weeks shopping

Scared/Intimidated

Then s'morning I was sitting in one room while GGtGG did the handover to Timmy in another and they spent part of the time discussing the trip to Belfast in April and Sam&Emma's wedding shortly after that

FES Wearing

So I got out of bed s'morning, had breakfast, went to the loo and then GGtGG fitted my FES, when I took it off for my bath he didn't wet it then an hour later he put it back on. It is still on, helps me walk etc. I will take it off later and he can wet it then and stick it in the fridge

Farmfoodery

Then we popped into Farmfoods as we used some sweet potato oven chips tonight and needed to top them up and I just found various treats which we hardly ever eat as my cooked/frozen food usually lasts for 4-5 days and my pizza is a weekend treat too

Then

Then we went straight from gym to King St, to the Drs. The woman took my blood pressure and said it was low enough this time, even tho it was too high when she took it last week.

As I had already told her that my pressure went up as soon as I saw her I said that the nurse last week must have been even more beautiful, which was hard to believe that anyone could be more gorgeous than her

First Things Out

Then the first "proper" trip out was to Gym after an early lunch. The class was taken by Gaynor who was pleased when I told her that as I had trouble remembering her name GGtGG called her "Gorgeous Gaynor" and ever since then I could remember. I even called her "Gorgeous" which made her smile.

But on Fridays the class is usually taken by "Sexy Sam"

No Swimming

And we are not going swimming today as I have an appointment with the Dr which clashes with the time, so I will go to an earlier gym class then pop over to the Docs to have my blood pressure taken

But I have a problem with most of the women that I deal with at the gym *and* most of the women that I deal with at the Docs. If I have to speak to any of them my blood pressure will go through the roof

Popped Out

And we had to pop out to Home Bargains s'morning as they sell really cheap bird food and I had given the last out of the bag s'morning so needed a new one. GGtGG said "Ah, I need a new bulb for the staff-room" so he was able to spend next to nothing too
