A real spoil

I spent a couple of days with Liz during this past long weekend! The Kents were away and even though Liz was studying like mad, it was good to be able to spend time with her! We did get in some nice chats during her breaks and while she studied, I either read or slept. Was a very relaxing time! One of my definite highlights of the weekend was a lovely hot bubble bath, the first bath I have had in a very long time! The beauty of this bath is that it is nice and low so getting in and out was not too much of a problem. Being winter and having a shower with hot water problems back at the flat, this bath really was a treat! Liz went a step further and lit the bathroom up with candles! I think I was in there for about an hour!
After the bath, Liz tried out a massaging machine which I had bought that same day. Amazingly, this machine is quite powerful and we managed to dissolve quite a few knots in my back and neck. Needless to say, I had a very good nights sleep that night. Thank you Liz.

Thrills & almost Spills

I know it has been awhile since my last post! Truth is, I have been trying for 3 weeks to upload photo's of my holiday but for some strange reason, this has proven impossible, any help please???
Anyway, the holiday, as enjoyable as it was, is now old news and we are back into full swing of things again!

Yesterday I had a friend, Martin, visit! Scooters delivered a wonderful lunch of pizza and wickedly delicious dessert. After lunch we went for a walk, I was in the electric wheelchair! We walked right around the Flora Park dam, I so enjoyed the warm sunlight and fresh air!
But then we reached the bicycle/skating path. This path is narrow and full of steep humps and slopes and Martin suggested that I attempt this path but not slowly! Well, I think the last time I laughed so much was in December during one of my famous Thompson visits! Going up those slopes and zooming down again was such a thrill, even though my steering was really lacking, to say the least!
The ultimate was the last hump (or should I say 'donga')? My mistake was that I did not put the chair into a high enough speed and I was just reaching the top when the chair tipped back! I panicked (arms and legs in the air, unable to utter a sound). Ofcourse Martin was right behind and assured me that the little back wheels had done a real good job in preventing the chair from tipping back completely!
Those of you who know me well, will know that the funniest part of situations such as these are the reactions of bystanders and believe me, this time was no exception! There is now way to describe these reactions but trust me, they were PRICELESS
