What what A Day #2

Then after the excitement of the day we went out to see the local comedy show put together by a local group and I actually rather enjoyed it. It was a 3 acts long play but I did rather laugh the whole way thru

What A Day #1

So first of all today we headed down past the railway station to "things for the house" shops, in the end we had to go to 3 of them but we found some organic feed your tomatoes juice, some weed killer powder which we mix with water and another green watering can so we can keep the red one which we already owned to just squirt weed killer out of

Then we went home and had lunch.

Then after lunch we went into town so GGtGG could take out of the bank some cash to use tonight, pay to get in.

Then I had bath and nap etc

Then GGtGG did much scraping and spraying weed killer around the front garden so hopefully it will look better tomorrow

I also downloaded a recipe for harmless weed killer so once we have finished this packet we will try making some

Then as it had taken so long doing stuff and we had a deadline for after dinner we didn't have time for baked spuds some had that "usual" veg and lentil stuff with pasta instead and it was actually rather pleasant. And I now now how to measure out 2 people's worth of pasta

Samless

And we went to gym class but it wasn't taken by The Beautiful Sam. It was taken by a woman who if I met them both in a pub I would think is perhaps lovelier, Chrissie (I think), but as I have some history with Sam teaching me to ditch my wheelchair etc that she is my favourite.

Anyway the class was hard work but I did it

Cooking What Again

So after last weekend's "being away" today I am back into my routine of cooking na'an bread pizza on Friday. Lets hope I can remember how to....

Iechyd Ding

And we are going to the monthly folk night at Iechyd Da tonight.....

Lordy, so the chap who was supposed to come down with the PA "forgot" and after much crises and phone calls said "I will be in an hour" and wasn't at all. We had loadsa folk playing on a cheap "hear it" battery powered PA with no vocals but even so a couple of them were excellent

Busy Thursday

And I remembered how to do it etc. After we brought it home and divided it into "put where" piles I put it all away.

Then we went to gym where today I did a rowing machine. So that feels a bit odd too, yes my right arm is behaving much better than it used to but along side that is a new ache as I am using unfit muscles

First Busy Thursday In A Fortnight

And as we didn't have to pick up any veg last Thursday as we were disappearing off for a few days on Friday so my baby boy could get wed very stylishly so today is the first Fetching Veg Thursday for 2 weeks.

Hopefully I will remember the fetching......

Out+About

Then we went into town for a walk after dinner. Parked at the bottom, walked uphill, along King St then back on the other side and then downhill past the old court again. There was no reason, just out for a walk

And it feels OK again having the FES on my leg. I think the swelling on my big toe must have been growing for ages

Chiropodist

And we went to see the chiropodist a week early today, I was cynical that she would send me to the doctors after looking at my swelling but none of it. She did various cutting and grinding and the swelling has gone down and I am a happy, more comfortable chappy

Nor Swimming

And as it is half term there is no swimming class today so instead we popped gymwards and did four upper body weight lifting machines.

And I really want to complain about how my right arm is a bit fscked. Less fscked than last time we did upper body machines but it still doesn't work as well as my left arm

No Thunder

Well it hasn't been stormy yet......

Foot Fixer

So someone made a phone call to the chiropodist today and said "Neil has an appt next week but can he see you early as his toe hurts?" so tomorrow afternoon I am going

Bicycley-wikeling

So I said to RoyGBiv that I thought my toe was hurting too much to cycle but I would try it first and see. So far nearly 3km into it and it doesn't hurt at all. The cycling machine/position keeps my toe at the right angle where it is not hitting against the end of my shoe

Grenfell Inquiry

So I was looking at the newspaper and I came across a "Grenfell live inquiry" link, clicked it and it just shows a video of gentle music playing against pictures of people trying to lead their lives. Every few seconds there is a new photo of someone else. All the people who were killed. All. I only managed to keep it on for 10 or 12 pictures, a very few of the people who are no more

Aargh

Back To Normal

So I was back yesterday but it was a bank holiday "nothings happening" day but today I am back to fecking gymming etc

Oooh

Well having recalled to go and water the veg s'morning and fark, it is doing well

Oops

And having just arrived today I forgot to go out to the greenhouse and check it. Tomorrow this is......

Home Again Jiggety Jig

So we woke up early s'morning and immediately packed up and loaded the car etc. We travelled back and arrived at almost exactly lunchtime, called at Spar so me and Mark could buy a sandwich as my bread was frozen and came back. Put the washing on etc and were just a bit astonished about where we had been for the last 2 or 3 days

A Bit Emotional

And I was nearly crying watching that Sam marry Emma. But 'tis done

And I said to both of them "Didn't he do well?" to which she replied "I did quite well too"
