Walkies

And as the weather forecast changed from raining during the day today we decided to try it at dinner time. Parked in the usual spot, walked up the hill, along King St, down the little st by the library then along back to the car looking at the back of all the shops.

It kind of does my head in, how easy/straightforward is walking these days 

Hard Work

Then after an early lunch we went to a gym class which as ever I detest but I can see that it is doing me some good. Today's main highlight was walking noticeably faster than I have been able  to for about 20 years, I think it was as fast as I have managed plus about 50%. Even GGtGG commented on how fast I was walking.

But who will I be able to chase?  

Chopper

So we popped to the toenail chopper s'morning and she did a good job, it didn't hurt and feels better

To The Green House

So we popped out to the greenhouse today* to water the plants that we planted yesterday and they look well, as if they have taken to their new home OK

* But RoyGBiv walked ahead of me and had opened the door before I got there so I couldn't test myself to see if I could open it

Boogying

And so after lunch I did the washing up for the day as we are going out to Caffi Iechyd Da folky night for dinner tonight

And eventually a good night was had

Breathe

Then we are off to do the Thursday morning busyness in a bit....

Well that went OK, first of all down King St to park near the top of the lane to Caffi Iechyd Da, said ta and see you later as we are going to a play it folk night tonight then off to Morrison's for the rest of the shop, took that home then went back to gym where today I had to do 3.25km on the rowing machine

Obscure Betterment

It occurred to me s'morning that for a couple of days I have been wearing that fleece which I didn't used to wear mostly as I couldn't handle doing up the buttons on the front, so I wore zippy ones mostly.

But it just isn't an issue these days, I just wear it and can do it up

Drowning

So we went and there was an aqua aerobics session today which was as much fun as usual. We were doing, at one point, standing on your right foot and move the left in various directions exercises which I just wouldn't have been able to do last month but now it is just straightforward

MORE Cash

And after I found 20p t'other day I found a pound lying on the floor in the changing room of the swimming pool today

Out For Dinner

And we are going out tonight to a Quiz And Curry Night organized by the West Wales Everything Group

Off To Hospital

So we are off to hospital for a blood test whenever they can fit me in s'morning.

Hooray

And we did that, didn't take too long. Even if we had to park a bit away and use the steep stairs to get there and back

Then on the way back we called in @gym and I got stuck into pedalling for miles

Bother. I pedalled for 3.25km and said "Right, lets go now" and he said "No, carry on, do the rest" as apparently on Thursday I row for 3.25km but Tuesday's I pedal for 10km. Only 5.5 to go now

Don't

I hardly ever drink on a Monday night (these days) but see being told not to as I am having a blood test tomorrow.....

And being told not to play with myself either.....

Just In Time

Then after bath etc we just had time to go to town and pick up the 'script from the doctors. The chemist gave me the form back when I gave them to her and said "It sez make an asthma nurse appt" and so after she gave me the drugs we went back into the Drs and made an appt to see the asthma nurse in a few weeks

Mr Independence

And when me and Roy were out walking yesterday I found summat lying on the pavement and I was just able to bend down and pick it up by myself, I didn't have to ask RoyGBiv for help or anything, just independence

Busy Morning

So we have to go to Bridgend to meet the physio and Denyse s'morning. Before that it sez on my diary but I think it will be later we need to pop to the Drs to pick up a couple of 'scripts and I have to ask MM to reply to a txt message that Sam's mother-in-law-to-be sent me talking about arrangements when we are there for the wedding, but M will be driving so knows about time etc

Well.... we set off for Bridgend half an hour after MM was at work, as in about 10 mins after he finished handover, but the visit went well. I said "Be gentle with me" as I can't sweat too much in the 48 house before my blood test tomorrow but it went well. We were doing loadsa balance exercises and she was well impressed at how much better I am today compared with a few years ago when I first met her

And M read the txt from Emma's Mum, I contacted her and said "Meet you on the day"

Bill Bailey

And tonight I have just watched a Bill Bailey DVD that I got for my birthday. After having to download a "DVD player" as it is no longer automatic like it was on eg Windows 7 bit not on new Windows 10

But I enjoyed it

Walkies

Then after dinner I said "Lets go out for a walk", we headed out the front door, turned left and walked along the path that leads to the main road in a couple of hundred yards, turned round and walked back uphill to the side road once more. Walked past my house along the road to the very far end, walked around behind the house until we reached the end of the curb, turned around and walked the whole length of the road until we reached my house

Sunday daytime......

Excited.....

Tonight

And tonight after dinner etc we are heading into Carmarthen where the remains of The Dubliners are playing. We have already bought tickets etc

Clap, clap, clap. 1) I was rather impressed with how they were playing and 2) I could remember songs that I haven't heard for 20 years which does impress me as my brain was so fscked but I can remember some stuff

Out Again

After I made the weeks food I switched the pan off , closed the windows and then we headed into town. Again we parked up on Lammas St and today walked down through the outdoor market, up and down and round and round through the indoor market then out through the back exit which brought us up further along Lammas St then back to the car. Then we came home and I switched the pan of dinner back on before making lunch for myself

And the dinner was delicious, according to Roy as well as me
