It had stopped raining by dinner time, but we've had a series of heavy showers since, we went out for about an hour, went down the local pound shop for some chocolate, gave us a chance to try out the new wheelchair, its a big improvement on the old one, but it should be, it cost more than twice as much, the old one is a self propelled chair with the big back wheels, the new one is a transit chair with small wheels on it fitted with fat tyres, they were coping with our uneven pavements far better than the old chair. On the way back we found ourselves racing a shower we could see it coming over and just made it home before it chucked it down.
