Get on with it Frank

So today as like most other started off with the usual routine, which by now you are all familiar with, ie Facebook, emails, carer, texting Pauline, and if you are not familiar with the start of my day just read any f the previous 544 posts and you soon will be,  so we will skip all that and move on to stage 2 of my day.

A Taxi to the City Centre.

Today is shopping day down the city centre with Pauline. After yesterdays chat with the doctor, pauline is picking up the prescription on the way to me this morning, for a gel rub for my back/hip ache and then we can get it from Boots Pharmacy when we are down the City Centre. anyway Pauline arrives with the taxi at about 11.00  and the wheelchair is put into the Taxi and off we go to the city centre.

Once we are at the Precinct the Taxi drops us off and then we take the Prescription into boot,s the Chemist it will take 20 before it is ready as they are busy today so we go to the ATM machine and then decide to go and have a look in Primark, the large clothes shop which is known for its Low prices, I have never purchased anything from there before, Pauline wants to look at jumpers. when we are in there I  Look at the mens sections and see they have some elasticated waist joggers for sale at £5.00 so I decide it is worth while buying a couple of pairs as I wear them around the house and so it does not matter what they look like as I do not wear them out and they are comfortable,

Once we have finished in Primark we make our way back up to Boots to collect the Gel rub and then we decide to get a coffee each and a Sausage roll for Pauline before making our way over to Morrisons to get the food shopping The Gel rub that the doctor prescribed is Voltarol Emugel 100g.
well once we have had our coffee at the coffee bar we make our way over to Morrisons, On the way I need to use the toilet at Sainsburys, so while we are there Pauline decides to see what Jumpers they have in there and I go and wheel my self to the Gluten free section and off the cuff get some bread and a few treats for me, I must have my biscuits and cake,s so they have to be Gluten free. Sainsburys have a good selection of Gluten free.

Once we have finished in Sainsburys we carry on to Morrisons where we get the food shopping and then get the Taxi back Home. Once we are home we get the shopping put away and then put the clean laundry away that Pauline brought back for me today and then have a coffee and a chat before Pauline makes her way back home.
