minitata's Journal, 30 June 2018

Over the last 3 or so years our 'going out' - ie getting off our own property - has been mainly down to once every 4 weeks to go to the doctors to collect filled prescriptions - no deliveries here and the doctors' make them up as there is no chemist, which takes about 15 minutes; and occasionally to the nearest charity shop - about half an hour in all. With occasional trips to Tony's ex-wife's for family parties.

This last month we've been on 'trips' the last 3 weekends on the run and we've decided that we must get out more. It's not that difficult to get a carer to look after Shirley and as long as it's one she's familiar with she's okay. We've decided that we're even going to take a night away -probably in early September - and visit Glastonbury & Avebury - 2 of our favourite places. We'll have the new car by then, with the wheelchair hoist so I'll have an electric wheelchair, which will save Tony trying to push me up Glastonbury High Street and Tor.

I had a blueberry muffin when we were out yesterday and I'm suffering for it today. The weather looks to continue fine and sunny this weekend and Wimbledon starts on Monday - who needs anything more.

Have a good weekend all
