I am just recovering from a broken leg and thought my nhs provided crutches and walking stick would act not only as support for me but as a warning sign to others, whilst no real incidents occurred there were some near misses, I think many folk just didn't see them, perhaps they should come in talking and neon coloured versions.

glad you are on the road again,jazz up the stick,fluffy boa,floresent stickers,cat bells,trust me it works and its makes folk smile, shopping at lunch times is the trick,(snack first mind) then i get a clear run in the isles or late after noon after school runs and going for bloods is best at 2pm try it,its like people dodging,dorothy.

Morning Sylvia

Great idea, started to rain here - but the weather man said heavy rain due sometime soon!
Not going out today, we have colouring planned, cake baking (my daughter says so!) I bought her a disney tinkerbell magazine yesterday to read and colour in as well.

We may watch the olympics today, we recorded diving semi finals, diving finals, bmx and some gymnastics!! My daughter still into the olympic spirit! Oooh, horses - best not watch, set the dogs off!

Does anyone know if the paraolympics will be televised?
I read their ticket internet site can't keep up with demand even though there are lots of unsold tickets. Hopefully people give the paraolympics lots of support!

Let us know what tickets you choose!

When I ventured out to supermarket yesterday, I bought posh (dutchy) meatballs - they were cheaper than waitrose own! So I'm cooking meatballs, onion, carrot, tin of tomatoes, courgette, mushrooms, new potatoes. For the family not me! Mince doesnt like me! I have macaroni cheese and salad for tea.

Enjoy your day on this wet August day!

Paralympics will be shown on Channel 4 Jane. The schedule looks brilliant, really looking forward to it.

I'm also looking forward to paralympics - I'm hoping to get tickets for the athletics. Interesting about Leigh Walmsley! My sister is into archery - well she's actually into Ango-Saxon re-enactments and during the battles she's an archer - crazy stuff! Mind you she has arm muscles like you wouldn't believe, and looks seriously scary in her iron helmet with sword, bow and quiver - so much so that my little dog was terrified and wouldn't stop barking at her until she took off the helmet

Have fun Sylvia xx
