That does look nice - looking forward to the 'finished' picture!

I thought it was finshed and in disguised so no one would nick it

It looks as if Halfords have assembled it and it's ready to go.

Over 4 years ago I got what I thought was flu. Turned out to be covid/long covid.
With it came all the normal problems of fatigue, muscle loss, balance etc. Sadly is escalated in the last month.
Been in hospital several times to be told I had lost 3 1/2 stone in a month.
Sadly there is no cure for it.

I well remember your difficulties with long covid. As I haven't been around much I didn't appreciate the balance/walking problems had accelerated to this degree.

You have all my best wishes.

Rather you than me.
I am hopeless on anything remotely mechanical.

Popped into M&S to get some nibbles for this evening. While I was ambling around my phone rang! It's a very rare occurrence, but this was a recording telling me that HMRC were about to issue a warrant for my arrest. I could prevent this by pressing "1". I didn't bother, just waiting for the knock on the door...

I fell asleep again, I feel worse. I have a funeral plan, I wonder if they take early deliverys....
I'm off to bed I'll see you lot in the wee small hours.

Sorry to hear about your fall

I had a problem many years ago where my knee was bu*****d
couldn;t get up using my other the other had problems with my ankle/Achilles
I was OK walking but if I toppled over - which was quite easy with neither leg working properly I was unable to get up without something to climb onto
and I lived alone and no-one likely to come and find me

I ended up going around and making sure every room had something in it that I could use to get up - I had cushions on the floor by the side of the sofa so I could drag them around and use them to get on the sofa
Upstairs was OK as I just had to get to the stairs and stick my legs over

It was a pain but it worked

That was only for a few weeks - but it needed doing

Hope you find something that helps

🤗🤗🤗

Very kind of them really to let you know.
