Gardening +++

So GGtGG got stuck into gardening today and put the 'edge of the grass' plastic bits around and got some of the grass out of the flowerbed

And we put the rest of the veg out growing in a compost thingy too

Drowning

So we are off to the first swimming session today.

Hoo-flippin'-ray

But I feel sh*t, like I had a heavy hangover, after my 3 pints last night!!

Gord, that was hard work today but I managed just about everything. Gord it's hard work but it is doing me loads of good

We Are Going Out

So we are going to have dinner out tonight....

And we had a lovely night. We had food first then got stuck into playing card games which I could have done without but we did have a nice night. Chatting to a newbie eg

And we did win the game!!!!!

The Plumber

And the plumber phoned GGtGG s'afternoon and said "I have been having trub getting the spring to go in the middle, I got the two outside bits. Eventually I found it, I can have it by Friday or I can spend £100 and buy the whole piece by tomorrow".

GGtGG had said "Neil will probably be tight fisted, I will confirm but unless you hear from me assume we will wait a few days"

So hoo fscking ray a few more days in the pool shower but it is worth it to save a hundred quid

FES

Tho just walking about on the way to the shower without the FES device on my foot makes such a difference, it might be a pain in the arse but it doesn't half make walking better/easier

Bigger Sigh

So we had to pop to the pool again s'afternoon and say "Going to the pool" and take ourselves into the shower and make myself clean

Sigh

So we came over and had a meeting with Sam@gym and discussed me entering the "I'm doing well" competition which I said "Yes" to but she is gonna find lots of old "How well am I ATM" stuff that we will then be able to compare how much better am I now with

Then we said tara and went upstairs to get stuck into a 10Km cycle. Which I still have two thirds of to go

Which I finished. It took me ages because I had accidentally pressed the button to make it harder 6 or 7 times but I still managed it in under an hour. Just

Going To Bed

So I was going to bed tonight and I reached to switch on the PC which every night since I bought it has required a couple of minutes worth of faffing about to eventually switch it on.

Tonight I just pressed the on button and it came on!!!!

Boiler Fixer

Is he gonna be able to get that bit and come tomorrow?

Loopy Nuts Are We

And I have just watched about 8 hours of well impressive snooker, the World Snooker Championship (noisy link) and I was just gobsmacked about some of their clever play

????

So I have to meet Sam Gleeson tomorrow mornin' to talk about someone who wants to write an article about me, after they have interviewed me, about how I am exceeding all expectations in getting better. Or summat

Walkies Again (More)

And we popped into Carmarthen after dinner, parked on Llamas St and walked thru town, up past Debenhams to the top where we sat on the stone benches, which were actually warm today. We sat letching for about 20 minutes then walked back to the car

2nd Visit

Then we had to go back to pool and have a fscking shower as my boiler is broken over Bank (and "boiler bits" suppliers) Holiday weekend. Hopefully some progress will come on tomorrow but I need to go and see Sam Gym at 11 AM about some "reporting how well I am despite all medical advice" scheme

First Visit Of The Day

So we popped to gym as there is no swimming class today so we did loads of exercisey machines etc. Some of the weights on lifting machines were set at 25 or 27.5KG or about 4 stone!!!!

We will have to go back later to have a swim (which is what they call using the shower) as it is gonna take some time for the boiler to be fixed

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
