We actually managed to make it to Wigan despite my having another 4am migraine. This time I was on the ball and drank loads, had something to eat and took anti inflammatories to keep it in check, it worked and although we set off an hour later than planned we did make the journey. Once we'd dropped Dave's Luggie at the mobility place and borrowed a courtesy one from them we travelled the familiar short journey to Bents Garden and Home Emporium. The place was very busy and the only disabled parking was in front of the pet cafe, naturally Pip was in her element, she oohed and ahed at all the dogs and enjoyed looking at all the Christmas pet jumpers! Our first stop was the craft place where I purchased a pom pom maker set and four balls of Christmassy coloured yarn - the aim is to make a woolly garland for either the tree or to string in between the lounge and dining area.
It was nearing lunch time by this point so we stopped at one of the pop up food vans and bought a yummy curry complete with mini poppadoms and onion bhajis, it wasn't cheap but it was far safer to eat outside than queue for an hour for a seat in one of the two restaurants indoors. Having been recently we had no desire to battle the crowds so on the off chance rang the repair shop to see what progress if any had been made on the scooter. The upshot is the battery is kaput and they are still trying to work out what is wrong with the control panel, so we trundled back home with the Luggie on loan and will return in a few days.
My end of the day rag bag crumpled self 😂

Hi, it's so nice to see Pip with a bright smile and Poppy too. What a sweet nurse Poppy is :) I'm glad you were able to keep the migraine at bay . . I hope they stay away for a bit. Good luck with the Luggie! And can you believe we're into Christmas already? The pom poms look great.
Good they are working on repairing Dave's Luggie! Sounds worse than a car. How fast did you make those pompons? So nice you could attend a different church We are still wearing masks in church, not in the pews, but when we enter and exit and go up for communion. We have once side of the church where the pews are socially distanced and one side where they are not. Our pastor is still in quarantine with Covid and right now we don't have church. What are wheat bags? I hope Pip will feel better soon.
Well done for making it to Wigan! The animals sound great. I love making pom poms- I should do some more again! Sorry to hear Pip hurt herself. The curry looks scrummy!
