Still more time in Swindon

Here we go again the girls decided today that Swindon is a good place to be, so here we are I'm sitting in the cafe Boswell’s waiting for them, drinking coffee as usual. I have not been abandoned they have returned to drop off some packages that where to much to carry about, only to disappear again into the maelstrom of the Brunel Centre.

Genya is a brilliant lad he trails about after them never complaining at least not in my hearing. I've been told he is going to spend a week or so in Shaldon with his brother/cousin Nick which will be good for him. Certainly better than sitting around with a load of old folk, thank goodness for computers he has spent a good deal of time on his since getting here, with Skype and other VoIP apps he's able to keep in touch with friends etc,so he's not entirely alone.

I've been toying with the idea of signing up to the Swindon shop mobility scheme, today I tried walking into town centre. After few minutes I was knackered, the shop is in a different area not one I would usually go to, I mean it's not that far from here really but getting there by car is a phaff. However driving there on arrival in town looks fairly simple, Swindon is a minefield of one way systems and roundabouts, we shall see. Buying one of these scooters is a possibility, problem is getting one in and out of the car, there are some made especially for that purpose, a bit pricey though and I not sure if I could lift it in and out myself, only thing to do is go take a look see.

Well that's it the girls are back I'm coffee’d out time for home time time. I am not feeling like driving today so it’s down to Ira, she really has got the hang of driving on the left I am very happy to sit next to her, she is quite confident it's just a question of knowing where to go and how to get there, she's using GPS so saving all the places we visit into the system.
