Murial who was from Brands Hatch
Thought Bernard was quite a catch
After all he was tall and slim
But she wished he'd give that beard a trim
And he wasn't keen on her eye patch.

I like to shop sometimes in Lidl
They sell unusual things in the middle

Quote from: klondike on Today at 03:35:31 PMWheelchairs can be quite an adventure. I recall taking my father down to the beach at possibly Bournemouth while in charge of one with him being the passenger. I had not realised quite how long and steep the ramp down was or how a scattering of dried sand changes the coefficient of friction of concrete to a similar value to wet ice. It was an exciting ride for sure and one that wasn't repeated.

Oddly I don't recall the trip back up. It must have happened as he certainly wasn't buried on a beach but it seems that nature has decreed that particular memory remain inaccessible. All to the good I expect.

Like you Mrs Vlad, ( peace and blessings in her name and worth the camels) and I went out today for the first time using her new wheelchair, quite an adventure, downhill avoiding potholes, cars and wheelies bins on the pavement. Stopped off for coffee at Costas then back..uphill..I had to stop at both base camp1 and 2 for an oxygen resupply. Worth it though

Out for a walk now as it isn't so sweaty. I like to fit in a daily walk. It"s so good to get back and park my backside after
