I've had a week off work to get a bit more exercise at the gym, play a little golf and generally relax a bit and if all goes well, get Jane out of the house. The weather put paid to the golf, a pulled shoulder muscle done for the gym so that just left me and Jane. Today, we went to Tesco's for the twice weekly shop. This is usually done on line lately but today we decided to put an appearance in person.
The weather was positively tropically compared to recent temperatures and we got a disabled spot right next to the entrance. I entered the store looking for a wheelchair with basket. Then I saw it... the electric buggy with huge basket on front. Two minutes later, I'd got the keys and was heading back to where I'd left Jane. NO NO NO were the words that met me as I appeared in front of the car. ' Oh come on, you've raced a sports car around Silverstone.. how hard can it be..' Five minutes later Jane was racing down the isles with a strange manic grin and her nico inhaler gripped in her teeth. Did anyone watch the TV series Benidorm.. the lady in the wheelchair who was a menace...!! The usually crowded isles suddenly became fairly empty, can't really say why !!!
It was a good morning all round and most importantly, I think Jane enjoyed herself.

I know.. its ailes
LOL I'm very pleased you both enjoyed yourselves whizzing up and down the aisles (sorry Jane). Hope the way is up all the way from here!
Fabulous news, now all she wants is a quad! John bought himself one last year and has never looked back! not sure they'd let one in tesco's though! The sense of freedom it must have given is beyond measure and I'm sure the shelf stackers won't mind doing it all again. lol Keep going Jane and so pleased to hear you're getting around, roll on Spring!

yay for you both!! made me smile reading this!!
Godspeed Jane. Lots of people are thinking of you and asking after you. You're still in our thoughts xxxx
Had a lovely mental picture of Martin clinging onto a high shelf whilst Jane races down the aisle at a rate of noughts! lol. You go girl!! I found that taking my walking stick with me to Tesco helped immensley when I was using It to point to all the groceries i wanted my daughter to bend down to get for me and a swift whack when she wasnt fast enough!! lol. Just kidding. Cheered me up so much reading this entry knowing you are okay running riot In a supermarket. I love you pair so much. Take Care, Love Pam.xx

sorry for delay in comment but have I have been away dfor a few days.
Much love to you both Sybil xx
I must say I have been tempted to use one of these wheelchairs on theodd occasion. When I wa having my chemo my daughter put me in a wheelchair around Asdas clothing department. Unfortuately as she said"oooow! That's nice mum! She had already pushed me past the clothing she was remarking on. In an electric chair at least you control your own destiny! Do't you??? lol
How wonderful that you were able to get out and about. I have used Tesco on-line before but it's not as good as the 'real thing'.
Here's to more exciting outings soon.

So glad our Jane is feeling much better. Love her spirit. I once drove one of those carts at Walmart and snagged a large metal basket containing DVD's. It raised a real ruckus as I dragged it down the aisle too. Keep up the good work Jane!
