Thursday Ritual

So we have to do the Thursday morn ritual, go and buy loadsa veg, go and do my More Reasons To Shop At shopping, then we need to pop to the Drs and pick up another 'script then get on with a normal day.

Then tonight there is an Iechyd Da folk club which hopefully will be as much fun as usual

Well that's the morning business done. First of all to the Drs, then got loadsa veg then got f. all from Morrisons, but it's all done. And I said to GGtGG "Shall I cook na'an bread pizza for tea tonight or should we go out and eat out" but then I said "No, because....." if we ate out t'other day, and I am taking Freya out on Sunday I can't afford to eat out tonight so pizza it is

Lordy, GGtGG isn't usually working on a Thursday so he doesn't have pizza very often and he was very impressed with it

AND the folk fest turned out OK too. It was a usual quiet day as it's the summer but some good muso's played

Not Swimming

So despite confusion about whether or not the swimming club was happening today (as it is now school holidays) we have given up trying and I am going to the 2 o'clock gym session instead. Also because I am off on Friday to see some diabetes Dr at the same time as Sam's class so killing 19 birds with 3 stones or summat

Well, but odd. She was comparing me with when we first met, when I was stuck in a wheelchair, the time she first made me walk a few steps etc, comparing it to now.....

Fixed

And my computer in the bedroom which since I bought it has required a strange double switch on ritual, hold it in for 5 seconds then try again this time hold the on switch in for 4 seconds, for about 3 nights it has been just switching on. With no "holding switch" ritual, it just switches on properly when I press the button in

Back Out

And we are popping back out later to a quiz which is being held as it is Sam (the WWEG boss) 's birthday so I have already written her a card

And her cake was lovely, shared around, and we came second in the quiz, the best we have ever done

Far Away Physio

So today we have to drive for an hour to see the Physio in Bridgend, it's blinkin' miles away

Well that was strange. She got me doing stuff I haven't managed in nearly 20 years and told me about retraining my brain to ignore the protests from my muscles etc. And we did loadsa work barefoot to try and train the toes on my right foot which have been as wonky as a...... since my accident and by the end of 1 session the toes were bending twice as much as they were before so progress has been made. And she told me about footwearless exercises to do each day......

Imminent Disaster

And I stood up from the dinner table tonight and headed for the washing up bowl. But as I turned I hit my coffee brewer and it headed for the floor. I thought "Oh no, brush and mop", it fell the whole way down, bounced off the top of my foot and didn't break even one little bit. I shrugged, picked it back up and set in on the corner of the table again, this time slightly further back from the edge

Oops, I had forgotten to sort my pics

And 2 days ago I went to the Lyric Theatre to see the National Theatre of Wales NHS is 70 comedy show. Which I did rather enjoy but had forgotten that I had taken pics (possibly because I am not allowed to) but I found them on my camera tonight

Swansea

And we are off to the Headway meeting in Swansea s'afternoon to do f. all that I can see any point in but the alternative would be swimming in the pool

And as ever we had an OK time. I think the game requires too much thought so one can't be sociable but otherwise we would complain that we were bored so dunno what should be done

My Weight

I weighed myself today and it was down to exactly 14 stone. IIRC b4 my accident I only weighed 13½ stone, so I am down from over 19 stone to almost what I weighed before

Not Cooked It

And I cooked the weeks food last night then today I noticed some Broccoli and some broad beans still on the shelf. Oops, I thought "Shall I cook it, divide it up and add it to the frozen cooked food?" but then thought "No, just clean it, divide it up and freeze it, add it to next weeks food" so I did that

Off Out

And we are heading out in a bit to see the NHS 70 birthday comedians at the Lyric Theatre, we are gonna eat near there then head along

It's The Same

So I deleted the new uber-zoom function that I had d/led as it was not making my camera zoom more, it was still 4x zoom

Mañana

So tonight I put on spuds to bake and started cooking my weekly food. An hour and a quarter it wasn't even close to being finished so I cooked some "bake them" chilli&cheese bits to accompany the spuds and Roy actually complimented me on the quality of the dinner. So much later I was able to divide the dinner into freezable portions and some for the next few days

(SIGH)

Off to my weekly class @ gym in a few minutes.......

And aargh, there was no Samantha taking the class, today it was taken by Chrissie who if all else was equal I would fancy more than Sam but as a) I have history with Sam and b) She is a martial arts fighter which intimidates me....

Feeding Who?

And I cooked for me and Timmy tonight. As he will eat my pizza when I make that so he did enjoy it.....

Appointment

And when we came back there wasn't the parcel I am waiting for but there was a letter from the Functional Electric Stimulation saying "Review on......" so 23rd of next month I have to go to a hospital in Swansea so they can check out my FES device

Thursday Business

So we have the usual Thursday stuff to do. Although we are no longer going to Iechyd Da to pick up my organic veg, we now go to the market and buy it from the veg stall which isn't "organic" but they seem to be anti-pesticides.

Then off to MoreReasonsToShopAt.... to get the rest of my shopping

Well we did that, it went according to plan etc.

Drowning

And(1) we have an hour long swim s'afternoon

(1) (Oh what fun) 

And oh what fun we had. It was much more technical than a Mon session but we did it. Balancing exercise after exercise

New Meter

Then the "meter fixer" from the electric board came early s'morning, didn't phone me like they said he would, but came and changed the meter for a more modern version. He switched the leccy back on in about half an hour, he had quite an easy job apparently

Rob and him did have to move the trug out of the way but it was no hassle, the greenhouse got to stay where it was

Out And About

And so we had loadsa supported family tonight too.... so we went bowling....
