And Again

Then after dinner we headed into Carmarthen and walked for miles again. There were loadsa drunk folk about as it is Bank Holiday Weekend but......

Walkies Out

So we went out s'morning and decided to head for the Enormous Car Boot Sale at Carew, a few miles West. When we got there there was much uneven walking surface, and some grass to walk on too. We walked for miles, I bought a tool to enable me to bleed radiators, Tim bought a spanner then a few stalls later we bought loadsa "edge your lawn" strip, we were only looking at 2 boxes (to make it long enuf) but after much sales we bought 5 boxes for a fiver, which Timmy carried back to the car

Warm Weather

So it is about half past 11 at night, the heating has not come on and I still just had to take my fleece off as it is too warm

Aargh, Let's Go For A Walk

Then s'evening we went out for another long walk around town. And tonight I was walking on all kinds of surfaces, slopes and uneven surfaces etc and it did occur to me that that is just so much more possible these days.

I used to have to walk in the road if the pavement was too wonky - used to

Plumbing Crisis #2

Then we had to go to gym, heading for the shower, said "Swimming pool please" when we went in, "Sorry, no, shuts in 5 minutes" he replied so we had to say "Actually we weren't headed for the pool..." and explained the crisis and how it's a fecking bank holiday weekend and they did let us in in the end

Plumbing Crisis

And GGtGG has just spoken to the plumber and he is still waiting for the part to be delivered. So he said "Carry on with your day, I will phone you if it arrives".

So we are heading out to meet WWEG for a coffee and a bun and a chat/flirt

 And it was nice, had a good chat then walked about town for an hour before coming home for lunch

Local Pub

We were out exploring last night. On the way back we called in to The Tafarn Pantydderwen, my local pub. Except it was closed. Apparently she has closed up the business and it is up for sale

Instead we tried The Castle In in Llanstaffan which although 10 minutes drive away was very friendly. "Are you tourists?" they asked us

So...

And as the plumber hasn't phoned back then I'd better go to gym to the Beautiful Samantha's class....

I Forgot

So I was concerned about the plumber coming back today but Timmy reminded me, to the Drs for 11AM with GGtGG for my quarterly testosterone jab

Oh what fun....

And by the time we got back the plumber hadn't phoned..... And he still can't answer his phone, it's out of signal, only a mobile...

Sigh

And it stopped raining s'afternoon so after dinner I tried another walk around town. This time it was nearly 2 hours of walking. Then I said "Let's go have a bun" so we drove to St Clears but the café there was shut so we came back to Carmarthen and Timmy chose McDonald's where he bought me a bun and a hot chocolate. I think one of the café's might have been better but as we don't know which one is still open etc this was the easiest option

Rowing

Then we popped to gym and got stuck into rowing. And I think that after having time recuperating etc I still did my 3.25 km in the quickest time ever

Sam came and spoke to me halfway through (and I still managed the quickest ever time despite distractions) and said "That thing you wrote a few weeks ago, about being better and better, it has come to some bosses attention and they want to write an article about you and they said 'Can we have a photo' so can I take one of you when you have finished on this machine?"

Dunno what to say, fame beckons?

Iechyd Doo-dah

THEN we popped to Iechyd Da and I thought we were about an our later than usual but I think the veg had just been delivered. And there were no NA's on my list today, everything was there

Then we popped to MoreReasonsToShopAt....  and got the rest of the shopping which cost f all this week as I had a £5 off token to add too

Fixer?

So the bath fixer says he will be here at 11AM s'morning, which is about the time I need to pop to Iechyd Da to get the veg but I suspect he will just be here for 5 mins until he looks and decides what the problem is then fscks off to buy the bits he needs

Ho hum, hecticness

Aargh. At 10 to 10 s'morning GGtGG said "They are here" and I thought he meant Timmy, looked up and there was a van saying Hot And Cold on it, ah, the plumbers were early. So they did much work while I left them alone and didn't get in the way, he said "Ah, 'tis the water pressure being too high....." and went on to say that he thought summat expensive was fscked but went on looking at plumbing then said "Ah, look" and pulled a small piece out which was in about 27 pieces. So this was the problem, causing all the pressure issues etc. So he got the heating to work, just the heating, and said he will hopefully be back with the bit tomorrow.

So yes, it is gonna be expensive but not as expensive as I thought when he first spoke to me

Well, for my shower we boiled a couple of kettles and I just had to wash standing at the sink. No Dermol medical wash today but as, hopefully, it is just for one day that shouldn't be an issue

Went Out

So we went out at dinner time tonight and walked for miles and miles (and miles) around town. Like a long way.Then we walked a long way to a restaurant for dinner. We took a shortcut on the way back to the car so it was merely a long walk

Then after dinner I got in the mood where we would take it further but when we came back I hadn't been to't loo for about 4½ hours

Expensive

Then GGtGG phoned round s'morning and has found someone who will hopefully come and look at the boiler tomorrow. "They" seem to think it is a minor crisis, wait and see
Today there isn't a problem as we are going to the swimming pool in a bit and the shower finishes the ritual there

Drowning

And because I didn't have any distractions this week I am going to my second swimming session in the pool s'afternoon

Hoo-fsckin'-ray

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
