Up and ready to go out despite the gloomy weather, we decided to head down the canal to Homesense and Sainsbury's.
We took our time, making a few stops where we could and I managed quite well. I managed just over 7,000 steps in total which is well done me.
I suffered for it once home. But I am proud of how far my hard work has taken me. I still have my doubts, like will I ever build up to to doing a normal day like before, but when you look at the fact that I had difficulty before and an undiagnosed condition, I've certainly done well.
Anyhow, we found a few bits on our adventures a skeleton typewriter and a new water bottle for me ready for going back to work. As well as a canvas shopper that we found in Sainsbury's.
When we went in there at Castle Marina we bumped into Adam Bousefield. Who used to be deputy at Arnold until recently. Lovely chap, and happy to see me up and out of my wheelchair.
Once we had done the little bit of shopping we needed we started the walk back. It was a long arduous walk for me. But with a few rest stops, my thanks to Kev who's endless patience knows no bounds and despite carrying heavy bags with no help, kept his temper well when I needed to stop and sit.
Once we got back to the station we had a stop off at Starbucks for the first pumpkin spice latte of the season. In fact I had the cold brew and Kev the Frapachino, as by then the sun was out and it was a tad warm.
When we got home. I did my revitive to ease my aching legs and feet and Kev massaged my good bad leg ( which is the right one with the tin can parts, for those not familiar with how I describe my dodgy legs) the left one is my old bad leg and is actually more of a pain than my good bad leg. And if they'd said that needed removing I would have coped better with not having... it makes sense to me anyway...
