Party

And we are going over to a party later

Wow. What a day. There were some good points and some bad points from my POV but I succeeded. First of all we had to park a few hundred m away and just walk across grass/mud etc to get to site. Once we were it we were wishing we had a folding chair with us but...... Actually over dinner time we wished we had a table and chairs with us but...... In most of the stage areas there were a few chairs so we made a bee line.... The "biggest" hassle was that there were no walk ways, just up and down hill through mud but I managed. We saw a few bands, told a 5 year old juggler how impressed I was with her ability.... had a take away pizza for dinner which GBiv had to carry for miles until we found more seats...... at about 9pm I said "Enough" so we headed out walking through more mud and pot holes in the dark until eventually we made it back to the car. Which in itself made me want to cheer, I had walked over all kinds of uneven mud etc and didn't fall over once. I so wouldn't have been able to cope with underfoot surfaces like that even a few months ago but now my legwork is so much stronger/more stable that I didn't have a nearly falling over incident at all. As we were leaving we stopped and chatted to a MOS. He looked at me and said "You were in a wheelchair last year? Well done for walking" which was nice

And I was rather impressed with GBiv's driving skills, he got us out without requiring a tow from a tractor

2 Feet

So for a few days I have been practicing standing up from the table without holding on with my hands. Now I have got the skill of being able to stand up and then move round, get my feet out properly, without holding on at all, just standing and moving
