turpsIt was an interesting start to the day yesterday. We headed out for an early walk and then I saw James stop at the corner heading to the garages and sort of huddle in place. Got to him and it turns out the fastening on his leg strap had broken so he was frozen in place and worried about moving.
Thankfully, we were still close to home so I helped him, very slowly, back to the house, found a spare strap and got it changed.
Wednesday we took my MiL to Whitby for the day. The day started very well, we had lunch at Humble Pie, which is our usual place while there. And while it's impossible to be wheeled in due to the very narrow door, my MiL managed the few steps to get to a table.
Had some tasty food and after decided to go look around town, which is where I hit an issue as the place was packed, the streets were crowded, people everywhere and I quickly turned around halfway up one street as the combination of the crowds and cobbles meant I couldn't get the wheelchair any further.
So, we left Whitby earlier than planned but drove home along the coast, stopping at Saltburn to break the journey home a bit and have an ice cream. They have cliff lifts there and they looked like fun, though at £1:80 a journey, I think I'd attempt the walk up first.
We didn't stop long as it got really cold and windy while we were there. It was like it had its own little micro-climate as it had been warm and sunny in Whitby, and was the same at home.
Fannish niece is 21 today, which means it's three years since she ran from home and broke away from the family. As we have her bank details my MiL asked if we would send our niece £50 and she'd give us the money, so we did and asked fannish niece to reply saying she'd got it. But nothing. She hasn't replied to any birthday messages so I guess she's gone to full on ghosting now.
