The bus I caught home (less than 2/3rds of the price to get there) headed in the opposite direction to the way I go when I drive home. All very symbolic, and helped me be more appreciative of when I can easily hop in my car. I'm lucky to have an amazing boss who drove me to the clinic in the first place. Once on it, I was outraged by a sign that said the driver had discretion to allow EITHER one wheelchair user, or 2 unfolded pushchairs on at any one time. So if two wheelchair users dare to try and use the same bus there will be an issue. I'm ashamed to say I've never considered before the difficulty of being a wheelchair user waiting for a bus only to find the one and only allocated space is already taken so you're not allowed on. How rubbish must that be?
I was v v v pleased when the mechanic rang me at work with good news. I'd rung him this morning to be told the part wouldn't be available til after Christmas if ordered from the main dealer. All my Christmas plans started to unravel. But star that he is, he's located another and is going to fit it tomorrow. Hurrah hurrah hurrah.
Right, I'm checking on cakes that for some reason will not cook. ttfn.
