Suggestion

And "someone" suggested that instead of watching the rugger on t'telly here tonight that we head into The Ivy Bush Hotel and watch it on their big screen and have dinner out while watching the rugger
So we will have tonights planned dinner tomorrow
And we did go, had a lovely dinner in nice surroundings with a good (but not raucous) crowd, but we did get to watch Wales losing rugby
And for the first half of a half I sat in the proper low down chairs until I got uncomfortable and moved back to my wheelchair.  I was shitting myself, I tried to stand up, failed, thought "Erm...." but just managed the second time. But a few weeks ago I wouldn't have been able to manage standing from such a low starting point
And I had a pee, went out, watched the rugby for 2 hours (give or take..). and didn't need another pee until I had been back in the house for 10 or 20 minutes. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about fairly regularly but last year I would have been out of the hotel room 2 or 3 times during the 2 hrs of a match
