Recording Sound

And I spent ages today trying to find different ways/techniques for recording sound so perhaps I could have a stronger method. No such luck but I rediscovered how to video/record sound on my camera which I can then convert to sound files. Dunno why I did that, just rediscovering

For future rediscovery you just have to press the small video camera picture button next to main button on top of my camera. Then "up" arrow to play it back

Walkies (AGAIN!!!)

And we popped to town for walkies again tonight. So we parked on Lammas St and instead of going up the hill we walked along Lammas St and down Mansel St and then up the hill past Iechyd Da and then back down to the car.

Oh, it was a different route but still as much fun as ever

Sigh

Well we are off to the pool s'afternoon for an hours workout

Hoo-fscking-ray

Hot Water At Kettle

Aaah. T'was much easier making my brew s'morning, just able to heat my mug up, didn't have to reboil the kettle etc

Wot Denyse Said

And Denyse arrived when I was spreading some bird seed on the feeder tray and said "Stand properly" which was actually to remind me to think about...... etc..... and then said "Anything I should bring up with the team?" and I said "Yes, actually...." and went on to tell her about walking in the back door, how I want/need to practice more but I am not allowed to try it by myself, so can I walk in there "While there is a MOS behind me with his hands free to catch me if I fall" and she said "YES".

Woop dee doop, hooray etc etc

Then she approached me again and said "Second thoughts. If we get the council to put handrails there, they will do it for free, then you can use it by yourself. DO NOT use it until then"

Plumber?

The phone rang at about four minutes past nine s'morning and I thought "Is that the plumber?", picked it up and said "Hello" and a woman with a very thick foreign accent said "Can I speak to the homeowner, please?" I didn't even reply, just hung straight up

Then a couple of hours later I was thinking "Where is he?" and he just pulled up, outside, no phone call etc. He did a couple of hours work then fscked off. I turned the tap on and it ran hot for about a second then ran cold. 

So MM had to phone him again, we had a direct number, he came back, did about 20 seconds work with a screwdriver and it all works now. The hot bath is happening again and we didn't have time to go to the gym first.

Well "someone" said to me today that when the bill arrives "they" will pay half from Staff PC and I can pay the other half

Be Good

So I am trying to be good today, there is no point asking Denyse to marry me, just no point, so I am trying to make friends

Yum Yum

And I cooked pasta for myself tonight again. Nice it was, I can manage it now

Sorry

Today's T-Shirt

Church Road

So we popped out front door, turned left and walked down the footpath then came onto Church Road.

It is the minor right turn just after we have driven off to town but I went up it, uphill it is. Soon we were level with the roof of our house

Come On, Plumber

Come on, waiting for you to phone s'morning

So Timmy phoned them at 11am, they said they had ordered the spring and the wrong one had arrived, so he had to order the full expensive part (that we had been waiting for a week to avoid) and hopefully will be in touch tomorrow. So instead of heading off to Headway in Swansea we are heading to Aqua Fit @ gym, luckily Timmy had brought trunx just in case, then shower @ pool

Stressed Hand

So we went to Carmarthen tonight, parked on Llamas St, walked up past the old town hall and along King St. For the whole time my right hand was sitting at my side, where it should be.

Then we turned down the steep downhill at the end of King St., Little Water Street. My right hand went up in the air and stayed there until I had walked the five yards through the very steep uneven bit when it went back to my side

Pasta

And I cooked some pasta for tea tonight which I haven't done for ages, I had kind of gone off it as I struggled using my knife at the same time as my fork to scrape it on, to eat, but nowadays that is straightforward again, so  I think I have changed my eating habits a bit

And I was sh*tting myself about carrying it to the sink to drain but it just worked, my own two feet with the pan in two hands

Visiting

And I went across the road to ask the neighbour summat and she said "Come into my house and see" and I walked up the side and into her house. Lord but she works hard to keep it nice

And she did say that even from her not very close neighbour position she can tell how much better I am getting week after week. Like, she said, "I used to be in a wheelchair"

Bl**dy Sunday

So here it is, Sunday. MM is out the front cleaning the rest of the stones underfoot then he is gonna move small stones under the car as they have all moved away from the manhole and that is sticking up a bit so he needs to make it all level once more. I will take a pic once he moves his car away......

No Contact

And the plumber hasn't been in contact yet so we will have to go to the fscking gym again for a shower

And as one assumes he won't be doing business on a Sunday we will have to shower there tomorrow too....

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t

Cooking

And I did most of the weeks cooking, chopping etc s'morning. So it is currently cooking in a big saucepan, needs more cooking time then in a bit I will add some lentils and yellow split peas then later bake some spuds to accompany it

And it was rather delicious when finished. So I have frozen the rest and taken a portion of last weeks that we still hadn't finished out of the freezer for tomorrow

Tie Them

And I am wearing my tie them velcro-less trainers which I tied by myself again s'morning

What A Night

And we went back off to the pub down the road (Llansteffan, The Castle Inn) and had a few beers. Also had a big chat with the landlord

BUT first of all we walked for ages along the beach and back along Llansteffa

And I stood at the bar for the first 2 2/3 pints

What A Day

Lordy.......

So first things first GGtGG arrived to work and said that the plumber had phones, he had finally found the spring and had ordered it, and was expecting it to arrive thru the post today or tomorrow, in which case he would come here and fix it. He hasn't contacted us again today so fingers crossed for tomorrow. Well we wen't down to the showers @ gym after the class today and did igt there again. What fscking fun

Then still early we popped over to Sports Direct and looked at more Velcro trainers but tried on a pair of just tie proper laces ones which I could manage now (Unlike how ill I was when we bought the last pair 3 or 4 years ago) so we bought a pair of slipper/trainers to use in the house

Then we popped across the car park to Home Bargains where GGtGG bought much cleaning products for the staff to use here. He also bought me a few flowery plants, a Bush Lobelia which hopefully will fill the bed with flowers
