I woke to 3 text messages, all enquiring about the police car. Now were folk been neighbourly, or nosey?
I ended up telling Julie Andrews, but I haven't wanted folk gossiping, hey they do that already!!
I went to an interesting, money saving initiative training. It was basically about setting up a 'Skills Bank' with friends and family. Which I can see working for some folk, but not many folk see the skills that I offer as being very valuable. Which are things that seem to come quite naturally and that is humour, Counselling Skills, and just being nice and accepting.
Paul from Recycle phoned, I'll gi you a detailed list of what he has done, when I get it tomorrow. But he briefly said, they beieved the Slumfphf to be faulyu, and he was on about shipping it to Glasgow!!! I told him definately not, it could go to West Country Recumbent first, which I forgot to gi him Robs phone number......durrrrrr!!! But if you're reading this Rob, and you have time to phone in the morning, 01142507717. But I am going to pick her up at about 950 on my way to Hillsbrough.
I 'pulled' :D after the training day, whist standing in the rain, feeling decidedly p* off!! This worky pulled up in his van accross the road, and asked me if I was ok? I informed him I was waiting for my cab. Anyway to cut along story short I ended up jumping (yeah rite!!)in his van and blocking my escaping cab, in the church car park!!! I asked this 'Worky in the van' if he'd got a spare Hi Viz, he could gi me??? :) he told me that he'd deliver one tomorrow. So that's how he got my address and phone number and name. And he's only sent me 35 texts since this afternoon. It's all very exciting.
I'm knackered now, so off to bed to have sweet dreams about Nathan ;)x (and Ziggy of course)
Some skills are more valuable than they may seem

Apart from the rather inappropriate term - given your preference for sitting down - you could do a pretty good stand-up routine with or without the verbal censorship...
ReplyDeleteAs to your houghmagandie tendencies you really should stop misbehaving other people with yourself, you never know where it might end up, even if you start off with a map of where/how far you want to go.(:-#)
I'm wondering about the MD and the kick-over plates (first time I've seen these with a Schlumpf) as they are a bit of extra backlash to add to the linkage and you cannot see if the main pin is properly pushed over in the crank end. It certainly felt less positive than having the ends naked and sticking out through the end of the axle.
Must go now - called a PoF contact whose daughter needs to get independent mobility sorted to get her out and meeting people, largely a brain issue but like your A+ group a cycle based therapy might be worth trying. However we don't have the English scheme once you've crossed the Tweed or the Esk
When are you going to Leeds again? I have a SHF visit on 29th for the Trams but I also want to work on Pat's boss (TM - not as frequent a First going to SHF from DOR) as you should be able to get Ziggy on most of their buses - then we work on Tim o Toole (First) as his 10 minute frequency buses in to town almost always have space during the day. It might be useful to do a bit on getting you and some of your proteges access to buses, trams & trains to develop this independence theme further, and I may have some time to fit in with you to see how SHF can deliver.
Oh & I checked the Rail Vehicle Access Regs - gaps have to be miniumum of 85 cm so Ziggy will fit through all doors. Would you mind trying to get something from the doctor to confirm that when you are using Ziggy it counts as using a Class 1 Invalid Carriage, just to flash this at any rail or tram person who might question things.
I think I've got a better person, than my GP. I will ask my ex Physiotherapist Maggie Cambell, she's got an alphabet after her name.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments about my ability to talk a lot. It comes with practice. :D

Wow, thank you for your thoughts. I only do what I enjoy, I am pleasantly suprised that, whether it be the inclusive cycling or writing. I am apprechiated for it.x
ReplyDeleteDave I am up in Leeds on the morning of the 30th. I am travelling with some folk who are not really into cycling. So I'm not attempting to take mine.
