We went shopping.

It cost just shy of £500, it’s got bright yellow metalwork and it’s just enabled me and J to shop together for the first time in over a year. I don’t think I can possibly convey how good that felt. Even going round the women’s clothes section multiple times didn’t bug me.
Sitting in there and being pushed was a major event for J. Really was a big one. The environment was okay - not too busy, known - and we were both in the right mood. It has the big wheels with rims so she can manouvre a bit but her grip is poor and her arm strength isn’t so great - but it does mean she doesn’t feel entirely helpless.
It was as good a time as could be hoped for given the circumstances.

Big, big step in many ways but I guess you don’t need me to say that!
