I did Claire’s Pilates (45) session at 09:15 Facebook Birthdays – It was Neil Sidney’s 54 th Birthday I took my medications at around 11:30 Duolingo Lesson          I did some I moved some money around and I added some detail to MM and to my financial planning spreadsheet I didn’t go for a run I sorted out a move to a longer term apartment.  

 I did Yoga with Kath, the first time for a few weeks. I went to lunch with Denise and Lynn, the company was excellent. The food not so good. I need to move some money to Marcus (tranche 3 of 4). I sent William £20 and paid Zoe some money for the Swiss trip.

 I picked up the car, it was parked on Lower Dock Street. I brought it back to the Village and stowed a few bags of gear in the boot. I drove it to Rhiwderin and parked on Zoe & Paul's drive. I got the 9am bus back and got off at Belle Vue Park. I walked up the audiology and picked up some hearing aid batteries. I made a curry today and had curry with a mini naan bread. Also! I sold my house and got the money I moved it quickly into NATSV. I moved some to Marcus too. I went for a short swim in te afternoon (about 20 minutes).

 I had a fairly busy day. My plan was to run over to Beechwood Road and get my car. I did that late afternoon and parked it on Lower Dock Street. I need to collect it in the morning and run some stuff over to Rhiwderin. I did all sorts of paper work and an ASDA shop. I met Evie, the student who is in thie apartment with Nicola and Lewis, the Aussies, being the other residents. I extended my stay here until check out on 19 March. I checked out the Laundry and  registered with Washnet. I enquired about staying here after I return from the USA. I will be in a different block quite probably.
