Well I’ve been in my new home just over a year and finally convinced my wife that a lunch date at our local pub was a worthy use of our lunch break. So I saddled up and we walked in
The lunch date was great the food sublime and not been into that particular pub in ten years ,
It’s changed ownership but still as good as the first visit
The only difference is I’m disabled and nothing is easy anymore 
We needed that time out and will go again soon.
Well done Mark.
I bet your Mrs was made up to be getting out on a date, especially as you were accompanying her.
Here’s to sharing things all over again.
keep on keepin on
Thanks Bobbi, yes it was a break in the monotony of the current situation and very welcome.
The food was not too expensive and well prepared and went down well.
We will return as regularly as funds allow and my diet permits plus our nemesis of diabetes which needs continuous monitoring sadly,
Regards Mark
That sounds lovely Mark. Glad you enjoyed it. These things have to be done sometimes.
Thanks mrs5k,
Hoping to make it a regular thing as we need a break from the grind plus it takes us back to our courting days when life was better I was not a cripple and some vestige of youthful life was there.
Good work Mark - I see that 80% target being smashed in no time 
Yes on the life front I’m getting there just pain and mobility of left leg and arm holding me back
I know there are many people in a worse state than me and would love to be as good as I am , walking a bit wobbly but up on both legs and having eyesight deemed good enough to take a driving assessment after 5?years of optical nerve recovery something I was told rarely ever happens.
You’re alright Mark, unless that is a tiger sneaking up on us.
In that case,
need to put together an escape plan.
