Mender Curtains

So as I was getting ready for bed tonight I called Roy and told him what I have already told 2 other chaps to no avail and said "This right hand curtain is not attached to the wall, I can pull it the whole way across" so he pulled the chair over, looked, said "Look in the other room, compare" fiddled about for a bit and actually fixed it

Standing Doesn't Hurt

So as I stand up now it occurs to me that when I am pressing down on the armrests to stand up my right wrist hurts somewhat. So instead it just doesn't hurt at all.

I don't know if I am not getting better as it is a therapeutic press but........

Tommy Toes

And I went out to the greenhouse s'morning, watered it etc and had to pick 6 or 8 tomatoes. So they are waiting in the drawer in the bottom of the fridge now.....

Still Standing

And it occurs to me that I am doing it properly nowadays......

Cook Early

And I started cooking as soon as I finished my breakfast s'morning at about 8.15 or 8.20 or summat. Because it takes ages to cook yellow split peas etc and if I had gone to the 2 o'clock swim at gym there wouldn't have been enough time to have my nap then cook it afterwards etc. As it happens I didn't go to swimming but went to gym to go cycling so I switched off the pan of tinned tomato's and other veg then went to gym, when I came back I switched it on again and added yellow split and lentils and it is cooking away to itself.

In a bit I will switch it off again and have my bath/nap

No Swimming

So MM came into my room s'morning and said "As you missed the 10k cycle on Tuesday you can do it today if you want instead of swimming". I had to say "Isn't swimming therapeutic?" but he said "So is the long cycle. The choice is yours"

So I had to think for a bit, I don't wanna fscking do either but in the end decided cycling. So I had to pick up the towels that I had put in the hall with cream and the bag to put them in etc etc but we have a new plan. In a bit we will head gymwards, with a bottle of water etc

And "Oh what fun we had". After an hour I said "Right, home now" but MM got stroppy, sain "You only have 1.2km to go" *and* "But Denyse will be cross if you skive" so I pissing pedalled on

Conference T'other Day

And when we had to take the car back to t'dealer t'other day I spent a few of our spare minutes asking chap whether when I replaced it in a couple of years I would be able to go electric. He talked loads about how they were a pioneer in the electric car field etc but he wouldn't say I would have one in a couple of years but he thought the technology is getting so much better quick;e he reconed in 5 or 8 years it would be a worthwhile option

Emergency/Panic/Crisis etc

Then when I was trying to take the chips out of the freezer to make our once a week treat  the front of the freezer drawer came off in my hand and the drawer was stuck. GGtGG looked at it and said "Oodles of ice, needs a defrost". I said "But we won't be able to...." but I hardly use the freezer now. Every week some casserole is frozen and defrosted in a few days, I cook nearly all the food we eat here so we were able to fit the contents into my extra little freezer and the ice box of the staff fridge.

It is nearly finished defrosting a couple of hours later, we will switch it back on and then an hour later put the food back in

Busy Thursday Morning

So as usual on a Thursday first of all we headed to the veg shop in the market and bought loads of various veg. On the way into the market we came across a chilli sauce stall that was offering free tasted so I tasted and bought the medium strength version

*THEN* we popped into MoreReasonsToShopAt..... and did the rest of the shopping.

We brought that home and put it away then went to gym and got stuck into out Thursday ritual on the rowing machine and did 3.25km

Grab Rails #27

After Denyse was here t'other day and saw my new grab rails she made a few phone calls, tested the "under the lid" function and later phoned me to say she had phoned the folk who had done it and said she wasn't happy as I need symmetry on both sides as otherwise my learning to walk etc will be uneven or somesuch and they have agreed to come back and do it again in a couple of weeks

After Lunch

Then after lunch Roy ignored my protests and said "Gym class" so we went to Gaynor's class again which wasn't very busy but as good as can be expected

Then on the way back we popped to the post box to post a birfday card that had been addressed to Freya c/o me which arrived s'morning. I put stickers over the address and wrote the address with my right hand and it was legible and another stamp and off it went

What A Morning

So s'morning we popped into the Toyota garage for the service on the car. I had planned to stroll about town while that was happening but it was pouring so we sat there watching Toyota Telly which every few minutes said "We are sponsoring the paralympics" and showing film which upset me/made me impressed etc

But an hour and a half later they gave me the car back and at home I could replace the bag of "car park" money etc

And They're Off

So we are going out tonight to a Bowling Club meeting, where I won't be bowling but socialising

Lordy. Some of them are very good at this, some of them not so

Overheard

As I was walking past the kitchen door I heard some reference to this. Dunno what they were talking about, just the 3 seconds of conversation I overheard contained the name of this....

Long Way Round

And I went out to water the greenhouse but I forgot about shortcuts, I walked out the front door and around

Short Cut

I have just been out to the greenhouse to water it and it still seems odd, wrong in some way, being able to go out the back door after for so long I needed to go the long way round

Changing Colour

And one of the green peppers in the greenhouse has decided that is is actually a red pepper after all
