Mobility, and all that

On Celia's advice, I have ordered a pedal exerciser.  In response, Amazon is recommending related products including two varieties of incontinence pads, ski feet for zimmer frames. raised lav seat adaptors and guide frames, to name but a few.  Oh yes, and draw sheets.  Gawd: is it come to this?

Oh well, we took advantage of the fine, mild weather to go for a stroll in the Ashdown Forest before lunch, and walked a mile or so, I suppose.  I think my pace is improving a little cf. pre-surgery, but of course having walked little of late, I'll need to build up a bit.  The Forest is much loved of dog walkers, most of whom behave correctly, many of whom leave the paths littered with dog shit and some of whom take the trouble to bag up their pooches' déjections and then drop the bags on the path.  And one lovable mutt jumped up, leaving paw prints on my waistcoat.  No need to remind me why I hate (most) dogs.

Martyn drove back, his first experience of the new car, which he pronounces satisfactory.  Lunch of unpretentious pub grub at the Crown.  Two lunches out this week: better draw in our horns a bit, I think!
