The long dark tea-time of the soul.

Saturday.

Kev went to work he left here at 6ish and although he tries hard not to wake me, I was awake as usual. This time though I stayed put. Now I can potter around a little and can dress myself I can do all that after he has gone take my time and use my walker to get into the living room. He still leaves me everything I need drinks, food etc. I haven't yet got the strength to stand and wash the pots or mess about in the kitchen, so I just grab and go. It's a slow process of taking one thing in at a time as I still need my walker to move about, but there is improvement every day. Just little things like being able to stand a little more, for longer, hold the position for the exercises a little better. Not great strides but little gains. The one I'm trying to improve at the moment is being able to brush my teeth standing up. At the moment I'm having to sit on the shower stool in front of the sink, as my balance is a bit off, so, I have to hold on to my walker with at least one hand. I'm trying to increase how long I can let go for. Like I said little wins. 

I spent the day chatting online to a friend, stamping and colouring some images and doing a journal page and listening to audible. I bought a few in the sale so I have a few to go at. It's quite nice to be read to, and it means I can still be crafting at the same time. Daytime TV is even worse at weekends so I kept it off until the Jubilee stuff was on after Kev got home. We watched it with Charlotte and had a laugh, I loved the Paddington bit with the Queen, thought quite a few of the acts were OK but quite a few left me scratching my head. Rod Stewart shouldn't be singing now, Adam Lambert is a poor parody of himself, and don't get me started on Elton bloody John. I've never liked him, and it's embarrassing that he is bought out like slightly chipped china everytime there's a royal gig. And who that girl was that murdered "Wonderful World" was I have no idea. Or the six wives of Henry the 8th?!! Kev's response was well we now know why he killed them. Classic. Diana Ross was OKish in a cast off from Ru Paul it looked like ( or was it a duvet) it did not flatter her, and her wig needed putting on properly. It was the kids I felt sorry for they looked bored out of their minds bless em and it must have been way past their bedtimes.
