Again we are promised cold conditions and snow.
My Hedgehog told me several days before if became cold as he finally went into hibernation.
Osca, is his name and I suspect he's blind so over wintering him with me until spring when I'll get a vets assessment.
Anyway, he's a clever hedgehog as they all are and can predict when frost ( extra cold) is on its way. Who needs the Me office! 
Anyway, I for one can't cope with cold weather, my asthma kicks in. I hate the heating being on all the time. Gives me headaches and blocks my nose.
 )It also turns me into a moaning old cruser.
Anyway, Stay safe folks. Once I've collected my friend and taken home I'm  parking up and hunkering down.

Christmas is over I hope you all enjoyed it and evaded the flu virus which is going around !
We have here ( for now)
We haven't done much as usual.
Christmas Eve meal out then hibernated until after Boxing Day.
The same is planned for New Year Eve then at home New Years Day.
I was hoping to nip into town on Monday to have a look at the Old cars which stand on bottom market.
See how that works out!!
It would make a change to go out and not be rushing round.
Maybe I need to make that my New Years resolution 🤔

Happy New Year everyone

This is our next presentation on coming Thursday apparently it has some footage taken from this time.
Usual place and time

Before i begin this I need to say this isn't a rant about Motability who have been more than helpful.
Short version - a scratch on the back of car whilst hoisting the chair into the back of the car.
I was offered a curtesy car which I accepted as was told it would be away for a week.
Daughter had a medical appointment.
A car was booked and I stipulated twice it needed to be a low car with room for a folding manual wheelchair. I needed it by lunch time on the day our car was going in.
I had a text from the hire company that the car would be with me at 6pm or just after - no good to me.
So, Ok I decided to sort the transport out myself.
Ordinary taxi which could take daughter and PA plus fold up manual chair to daughters appointment.
( Her normal taxis do school runs and would be available to transport her in powered wheelchair)
No problem said Motability we can arrange a taxi - brilliant I didn't know they provided that service.
Taxi arrived on time and transported in powered wheelchair to medical appointment.
PROBLEM - the company couldn't then get transport to get them back home.
It was getting cold and shops about to close so I cancelled the taxi ( they were still looking 20 minutes after she should have been picked up!!

Hire car arrived in the middle of the afternoon - it's HUGE no way can daughter get in that - need frigging ladders which she can't climb any way.
Result I refused to drive it and instructed Motability to cancel it.
It's currently still sitting on our drive!

To motability, i suggest maybe a scrutiny of car hirer used and taxi company.
