After struggling to sort out some computer problems I thought it was time for a break.
It was a lovely warm sunny day and it seemed like a good idea to visit our local park.
I managed to get my scooter into the car, for the first time on my own, something that will give me much more independence.
I took Hilary with me. In town I parked up and got the scooter out of the boot single handed. Very pleased that it went well.
By resting the scooter on the car then pivoting it up and pushing it in I avoid needing to lift the whole weight. Quite easy and quick, no need for a hoist, and it works.
I positioned an old off-cut of carpet to protect the car’s paint work.
Stowing the scooter in car boot
I set up the scooter and went with Hilary walking by my side to a seat by the pond in the park. It was quite busy and there were a lot of very frisky water fowl to see. Spring definitely is in the air.
Well done Bobbi. Looks lovely. This is what my husband and I are itching to do. Just to get away from the house for a while. Physios say we need more practice in/out of car.
I’d love to be back as I was pre-stroke but I am finding that there is still a life for me even if it’s different from what I knew.
I would not be where I am doing what I do if it was not for encouragement, inspiration and support from others.
For this reason I feel the need to share my successes and give a big thank you to those with whom I share my world.
Love the pics @Bobbi and that’s definitely a great way to spend a morning. I hope yoy indulged in an ice cream from the van. I wouldn’t have been able to resist
So glad you have worked out a way to get the scooter in / out the car on your own too.
@Bobbi Such an achievement for yourself fantastic, well laid out plan for scooter organization. Your photography is Fab the wildlife is great. Thanks for sharing. Hope many more adventures to come.
A few hours in the sun will spur you on even more and did the ice cream van tempt you to a 99. Sounds like there’s no stopping you now and little pleasures are to be treasured. Well done Bobbi
glad your getting out ,we went to ravenshead notts to see sisterinlaw, went for a 38 minite walk as it was dry, when we drove home to chrch gresley swadlingcote it was raining, but it was a nice day out
