Some things went well when I went out this morning, some things didn’t.

@feather1952 I dropped off one book I've just finished reading (Juice by Tim Winton) at the local Oxfam secondhand bookshop and came away with 3 more. I'm going to have trouble keeping my suitcase under the weight limit I think
.
PS I recommend the Tim Winton book. It's a man who lives in a climate spawned dystopian future relating his life story. It took a couple of chapters to pull me in but then it was hard to put down.@smitjo
You know I love my books. Always have way too many in the pile by my bed. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Remember before you come home with a suitcase load - there’s always more books

@MyView @feather1952 ‘rollators’
Should be called vibrators!
I had an old one I bought from an op shop a decade age ... in case ... and took it downtown last week ...
The pain the pain!
Hard plastic wheels over the asphalt paths and roads created vibrations up my arms and into my arthritic neck ...
The one I bought has Eva Wheels apparently that don't vibrate ...we will see if I use the 30 day return offer ...

@MyView @treleanor
I think that’s what they call them in the US & of course we’re expected to copy them. I’ll keep calling them a walker.I hope that's all I will be calling it after the first day out
and I have to up the cost ... try before you buy would be good ... -

I shouldn’t laugh but your name for the walker did make me chuckle.
I’m sorry how it affected you to use it though, that’s awful. I hope the new one is better. -

@MyView @feather1952 that’s so horrible. You never really know with these things until you actually use them. Terrific that you have the 30 day return option

@Susan60 @treleanor @MyView @feather1952 After all, the original punks are now using them...

@MyView Chemist Warehouse has them, the Walker brand, and they are cheap. @treleanor @feather1952

Sounds like my neighbour, & an autistic friend.

That reminds me ... where did I put my sunglasses ...

@MyView @caity @Susan60 @treleanor
I love it. My favourite was a red one of similar material to yours & also had an embroidered bodice. I was a size 10 back then - 14 now
. I’ve move countries since then so nearly everything but photos have gone. -
@Susan60 @treleanor @feather1952
Small shopping is what I hate so I made a bag on the old one.
New one is butt ugly but only one with the 'soft' wheels, unless I went up $hundreds for one with pneumatic tyres and not interested in pumping them up all the times.
This is the one I bought and my bag should attach to the back rest.
All the design needs is the front wheels turned around so a bag could hang down properly. ... but they are designed by people who have never used one ...

Wore it for a decade ...
No idea why I kept it ... never kept any other clothing ... maybe as it was worn with last pregnancy ... made damn sure after that -

@MyView @Susan60 @treleanor @feather1952 pretty sure that's the same as we bought for Mum, she loves it! Made a huge difference to her mobility, she had stopped walking, this got her moving and back to the gym.

@treleanor @Susan60 @feather1952 @caity
Remember these?
Loved the boxes stack ... each child could have their own colour ... could go on a picnic without complaints of "he touched my food" and "that's my cup" ... ahh the good ole days
@MyView @treleanor @Susan60 @feather1952 They're still in the family shed!!

I had some Tupperware but never had any of these. -

Oh gawrsh! Yes, although the colours had changed by the time I was buying Tupperware. When I helped my in-laws pack up & move house last year, I was trying throw out Tupperware from the previous colour scheme…
