Boiler's Fscked

And I had a cold bath and did the washing up under a tap that ran hot then cold then hot again. Dunno, can't look at anything, it is all locked up under warranty but it disnae wurk, the hot water boiler

Out To Party/Flirt but not Bowl

Then later we are popping to Xcel Bowling to meet up with WWEG folk and chat while they bowl

Well that was nice, we had a load of sitting watching folk ploy bowling etc

Hectic AM

So s'morning we had to pop to the asthma nurse who said "Sorry, the room is upstairs" but that is not an issue for me anymore. She asked loadsa questions, watched me take my inhaler, and basically said "You are OK"

Then we got a 'script from over the desk there and went next door to the chemist and got loadsa cream for my armpits etc

Then on the way home we called into gym and did an enormous cycle, without needing to stop for a rest and I think it was the quickest ever for that distance

Manyana

Then tomorrow morning, before the gym, I have an appointment with a nurse at the Drs to see about my asthma, a review. I suspect she will say "It's all going well, keep it up" but we need to see her

OCD

I am becoming obsessive. "What are you gonna do today, Neil?" "Watch snooker"

Swimming Is On

So today's Water Works class is up and running, I phoned them to confirm when I was in the loo having my morning pooh.

The receptionist said "Is that Neil?" and then flirted with me when I said yes. But I don't know who it was that answered the phone!!!

Well I did it. Sorry but I impress myself with how much I am getting better somedays

WTF?

So what difference is having this injected next Friday gonna make?

Walkies, again and again

So we went out s'afternoon for more walkies around town, again up Mansel St and then up to King St miles it was. And today we called into The Tiger shop, a kind of novelty funny things shop but luckily I didn't spend loadsa cash on tat

Then after dinner we headed back into town just cos it is good for me, this walking. Again we went round town

Standing Differently

And today standing about the house & garden I realized how I had been lopsided since my accident, I was holding most of weight on my left foot with my right foot being just kind of off to one side holding the rest. So today I have been attempting to do it the other way around, hopefully when I practice some more it will become interchangeable depending on what I need

But by heck but it is harder, possible but harder

And I also walked a bit on the chippings around the house, again that is so much easier that the last time I tried

Old Faces

And yesterday we met a beautiful woman at some point, she said "Hello Neil" I replied "Erm....." but it turns out she used to work at the local pub when I still drank there regularly and, more to the point, she hadn't seen me since I was stuck in a wheelchair.

Which was nice, she was surprised and pleased to see me on my feet, I was a wheelchair user last time I saw her

Sorry

I know I have seen this every day for some months but I laughed out loud s'morning

Much Cooking

So then s'morning I did the cooking most of the rest of the weeks food. It is nice now but when I sprinkled in yellow split peas I overdid it and it is somewhat lentily. But I enjoyed eating it tonight, for all that says about the food I cooked, but MM ate it all too, so I think it is nice

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
