Post Cruise

so, been back now for 2 weeks but still missing the cruise ship style. Yes, there are some advantages to being home; my profiling bed and my bidet loo (Kadvi was VERY glad to see that again!! ), but I think I could easily live on a cruise permanently. It's perfect for me. A different location every day without getting in a car, entertainment on tap, and smooth floors everywhere. I reckon £75k per year will cover it!!
Have been out a few times recently, mainly to Bushy Park but also met the boys at Chessington World of Adventures. The visit wasn't altogether successful. Firstly, although my carer gets free entrance I am expected to pay full price, a hefty £44. Even though I explained I just wanted to watch my kids and it's blindingly obvious that rollercoasters aren't my thing, they only offered a concessionary price of £30. Then the park was so busy that the boys only got on one ride. I DID get to watch some of the 10 minute sealion show (the bits when the man in front of me remembered to crouch down) and we went into the aviary too. On the plus side no birds shat on me.

The boys were taken to Alton Towers overnight by Tracy and uncle Jeremy at the end of the holiday. Being a school inset day ensured the ride tally was better than chessington although the locally situated Thorpe Park will no longer seem satisfactory.

An event I am going to is the Goodwood Revival next weekend. It's the only motorsport event I bother going to and it's a great day out IF it doesn't rain. If it's wet, the lack of covered wheelchair viewing platforms makes it a pretty difficult day. So here's hoping...

But I can't moan about this summer's weather, it's been fabulous and with the help of carers it's enabled me to go out much more than last year.
