Ah! It's so nice to finally see the end of January.It's one of my least favourite months of the year. And, of course: Janathon. Janathon is always fun, but also pretty gruelling.To celebrate, the Old Trout and I went to investigate a new (to us) farm shop. I'd heard that their cafe was also worth … Continue reading The End – Day 21, Janathon 2024
Despite having owned a mobile phone for nearly all of my adult life, I'm still astounded at what it can do. Tonight for instance, when heading out for my very first Dungeons and Dragons game at the local games shop, I'd used the taxi company's app on my phone to book the taxi to the … Continue reading Apps galore – Day 30, Janathon 2024
It isn't often that I surprise my sister. She's far too used to my shenanigans to be taken aback by anything. But yesterday I managed it twice. The first time was when I announced, over the phone that I was "going to buy a way to make babies". That apparently both confused and worried my … Continue reading Lots of Smooshing – Day 29, Janathon 2024
I was already struggling with my mental health today and then a filling fell out.I can't deal with today.Talk to you tomorrow x
Manaical, that's how I'd describe today's seated exercise instructor.Yes, I was after a fix from another instructor today. After all, why not try as many as I can? I decided I fancied a slightly longer, more intense workout after yesterday's enforced slow pace of Tai Chi. There had to be music and there had to … Continue reading More seated stuff – Day 27, Janathon 2024
Electricians were crawling around my house today. I don't know how many there were. I only saw two. There probably were only two, but that's enough.They were there on behalf of the landlord to carry out essential work to get the property up to snuff with regards to regulations. They updated the fuse box and … Continue reading Slow and steady- Day 26, Janathon 2024
Trigger Warning: Dentistry I can't say that either of us was bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning when we headed over the border into nearby Neath Port Talbot. But we had a rather exciting appointment at 9am. I was going to have my teeth seen to.You might be thinking that I'm being sarcastic, but … Continue reading Wibbly Wobbly – Day 25, Janathon 2024
It's been quite a day today.Not a bad day, nor a good day, just "quite" a day.First, we headed to the hospital for my very first lymphoedema appointment. I was worried, because normally The Old Trout does the walking around, asking people for directions and I follow along behind with my rollator, ensuring that I … Continue reading New socks – Day 24, Janathon 2024
Zumba Gold Fitness with Michelle Thimas Chair Zumba This was my favourite exercise video yet.I'm awarding it 8/10There was movement, there was music and I could tell what moves the instructor wanted me to do most of the time. Although there were the regulatory two people in the background, one either side of the instructor, … Continue reading More chair Zumba – Day 23, Janathon 2024
Instead of having to find a seated exercise to follow, today I went for a walk. The Old Trout picked Dog-dog and I up at 1pm and we drove off towards Llanelli, making a quick pit stop at a farm shop on our way. Sometimes, on our jaunts across the countryside, we like to drop … Continue reading A milkshake and a walk – Day 22, Janathon 2024
