Hop-a-long Laura

it such a cold morning today! And my knee's been hurting a lot the last few days. I think I aggravated it yesterday when I had to run to catch a bus while having a fully loaded trolley in tow. Last Wednesday I left my walking stick in the interview room at uni. I wasn't able to retrieve it because the next review was in progress. But I'm off to uni today to see the counsellor there and later my supervisors, so I should be able to get it it today.

In addition I think I'll buy a collapsible cane from ALDI. It says it's for people of 100 kg or less but I don't think it'll be critical. Because it's collapsible I should be able to put it in a backpack when I don't need it. Much harder to do with the walking stick.

Runner

The finished dog runner next door. Spent a a good portion of Monday helping Brook dig the hole for it. The post was one from my old fence I wasn't using. That's Ebby trying to catch the sun.

Crane!

The workmen next door are lifting the framework for Daryl's new house on top today. There's a huge crane on site for this:

Was motivated...

...to make these:

Mixed day

My knee and leg's been hurting a lot today. I didn't get out until 11am and of course my telescoping walking stick was still at the uni. Stopped off at Wallsend to return some books and check ALDI for those fold up sticks, but they were all out. Went on to uni and recovered the stick and saw my supervisors.
Nothing new. I need to wait until I get the official documents before I can take much action. What I can do is continue to write scripts for Gender Transition for Innocents. Well, that was pretty much what I expected. On the way home I did buy a fold-up walking stick from a Chemist. It was about double the price of the ALDI one but it had a couple of extras (like a plastic cover to the height stud) and had a weight allowance of an extra 10 kg. And, well, it was PINK!

I will use my telescoping walking stick for the exercise walks around Barnsley, and the one above for when I go out. I'll be able to fold it up into a backpack or shoulder bag when I don't need it. When I got home I discovered that my order from AMAZON had arrived a couple of weeks early. It was a really nice surprise.

I know a lot of what's in them, but it's always better to see how the Pros do it.
