Tap Dancing!

Well, no, not actually, but we have been waiting ages to get our kitchen finished off - fitting started on 3rd October 2007. Good news today, though, the plumber cam and fitted a new tap that works properly. Apparently everyone has combi boilers these days so they never think to check. Oh well.

It never ceases to amuse me how people are taken aback at the sight of a wheelchair. Now, please try to ignore the idea of an old granny, blanketed across the legs, being push around and left outside shops in the cold. No, I'm talking fast light chair propelled by me and neat parking and manoeuvring. Anyway, we went off to my wife's Xmas meal from he office. They hadn't mentioned a wheelchair as, well, the whole building is only 5 years old, fully kitted out for wheels, so we just arrived. I felt the staff, whilst very polite were wondering what had arrived. Of course everything was fine though I thought I was being watched by another party of people I didn't know as I neatly slipped in and out of chair to the loo!

I do wonder why I am doing this writing thing. I mean, I was always given a diary or two at Xmas as a child and started on 1st Jan with a few entries. By 7th Jan it was fading and that was about it. I don't even know if I am writing this just for me or for other people who might read it. Who knows. Anyway if you do happen on the pages a little comment would be nice just to see you were here! Thank in advance!
