Thank you, the sun is shining here & I've got my washing out, & may do a little gardening while the weather is so pleasant, so a good day. How about you?

Hi, thanks for the welcome

im a recent wheelchair user @janer1967 as lost ability to walk past year. So thanks, I will need to buy a few accessories soon, but if u see a post and I forget who u was my appoligise my short term memory can be bad, I can go in kitchen four times and forget I went for a drink lol. 

im feeling  exhausted after Monday being bit busy chasing  and trying to sort a few things up. 

It’s just started to rain heavy and think we got bad weather as weather  warning on phine for the rest of evening, but I do like the sound of sight of rain it’s relaxing, just not when u get soaked,  so I might just watch some tv till I’m tierd. 

@chiarieds hope the sun stayed out and you enjoyed your gardening did u plant or just tidy anything? Must get the grass cut soon, it grows so fast at the moment..

no idea how I reply to each reply and hope I tagged people right, please feel free to advise how if not. 

Take care, have a pleasant dry evening

Hi @PopCorn - your replies are just right, tagging a person as you have done. Today stayed sunny, with a bit of a breeze, so a great washing day. I have a little greenhouse, so watered my tomatoes, tidied up my raised bed of herbs, & did quite a bit of deadheading & cutting back of flowers & my buddleia bush; tidied up my courgette plants to find another had escaped into a large marrow (!), & found a few strawberries.

I hope you have a relaxing evening; I'm sure much needed after being busy sorting things out. Take care.

Welcome to the group @PopCorn. I am a newbie here aswell. So far so good, everyone very friendly and helpful ?Will say don't know much about wheelchair use. But can I offer a little advice. My Dad  was in a wheelchair for a sort while ,he needed things to make things easier at home ,dont think we paid for anything. Most things were free or donated. He even had a stair lift donated by a local charity ( it was quite a few years ago now in Shropshire) but you never know. Anyway this a great place for a rant or two ???
