Out & About (again)

So we went out for walkies in Carmarthen again tonight. Parked up on Llamas St, walked uphill past the old council block, along King St, down the little side street just before the library, turned left and walked along looking at the back of all the shops.

Thera-fscking-putic 

Jungle-tastic

Well I popped out s'morning and watered the veg. Lordy but it is growing fast. And the tommy-toe plants are starting to flower which will lead to tommy-toes growing and half the rest of the veg have started growing edible veg, peppers, sprouts.....

Hooray for swimming

So it is an early lunch as we are going to the 'pool for a swimming class s'afternoon.

Hoo-fscking-ray

Well that wasn't as intense as Monday's but I am still glad when it's over. But I did say to the instructor lady that I noticed today that I wasn't having to hold on at all, my balance is getting better week after week

Quizzing

And we are off out tonight to The Castle Inn in Llansteffan as they run a quiz every Tuesday

And we didn't take part in the quiz, just sat there socialising, drinking some local beer

(And I drank 4 pints of "normal" (old fashioned) strength bitter and didn't fall over or wet the bed or anything......)

Cycly-wykly-woo

So me and that Timmy went to gym and I got stuck into a cycling session. Hooray another 8km to go.......

5km to go now......

Down to the last km. And I haven't stopped for a rest

Compare And Contrast

Well a few weeks ago compared to now

My Right Hand *Is* Getting Better

And today I finished on the loo, stood up, pulled my zip up with my right hand

We're Off In A Bit.....

And I have no excuse today, no Headway meeting happening in Swansea or anything. So we have to go to the Water Works in Leisure Centre which is a shorter but more intense session in the pool

Well wasn't that intense. Tne class was taken by (The Beautiful) Sam, for whatever reason, and she ran us back and forward for 45 minutes

Now half was thru she did say "Work harder, make your hearts beat" and I was too breathless to say "My heart is beating so much because you are here today"

No, Neil

And in my puzzlement about how we made the pics of Sam into one I suspect that I thought I knew the answer wrong. I suspect that picture is an old fashioned pre-digital photo.

So gord nose how we did it

Hectic In The Morning

So Julia sent me loadsa pics, one of which contained 4 of Sam. I said "How did we do that?", she replied "Dunno". Many hours of research s'morning eventually lead to me taking a naff and bland photo with 2 of my walking stick in it

Walkies

And we felt obliged to head into Carmarthen for a walk around today. Parked on the end of Lammas St, headed in thro town past the market, up past Iechyd Da, along King St and back down

Right Hand

So s'morning I was peeling a Butternut Squash, which is very big and difficult to peel.

And I managed/just did habitually to peel it all with my right hand. It now seems that it is the first hand I use to hold the peeler in, loads has changed in the last couple of months

AND it was delicious too!!!!

Kitchen Business

So I will sit here for half an hour to let the kitchen floor dry then it's off to cook the weeks food again

Well it's ¾ done, all veg peeled & chopped and cooking, all herbs added, all garlic etc but I need to add some lentils etc and cook it for ages

Unexpected Visitor

Then tonight when I was half way thru cooking tea there was a knock at the door, I thought "WTF?", went to the door and it was Julia. She said "I am just working across the way and had an hour to spare" and went on to tell me how much I have changed, I was able to answer the door then go on cooking while talking to her

I *AM* Getting Better

And it occurs to me s'morning. That little picture that I posted yesterday, I simply couldn't walk round there to do that for years. It wasn't just laziness, it was inability to walk on that surface

Hah, I am so much better at that nowadays...... 😏

Greenhouses

We have been having discussions for a few days about how to replace the greenhouse. I think after much discussion that next winter (when the plants in it have grown) we are gonna replace it with a Lean To Greenhouse (for example) which will be a lot more stable etc but equally accessible

Not Weekend Yet #2

So I have to go to the gym class today but then tonight we are heading to The Lyric Theatre to see Tom Allen there

Which was a bit strange. Yes, I enjoyed it, laughed etc but it seems to have left almost no memory in my head. I had to check in my diary s'morning to see where we went last night

Not Weekend Yet

NO Neil, it is not the weekend yet. Just because you had to pick up the veg and go to Morrison's s'morning, it is not the weekend yet. You need to go to a gym glass tomorrow

New Habit

And as I did my washing today I think I can safely say that I have got a new habit of drying it

Rowing

And I got on the rowing machine at gym today and did my 3.25km before coming home for lunch. For whatever reason I just couldn't go as fast as I managed last week.
