I have been trying out another chair today – a groove, for the second time. It certainly is the best of the bunch, going like shit off a shovel and manoeuvring like an Apache helicopter. My one reservation is that the model I have has no stamina: me and lee were going for a ride, him in defiant, me in the as yet unnamed groove; halfway down church road, heading into the village, my charge-metre was already on red. I’m sure it arrived full of charge, and I’d only used it a bit on campus. I strongly suspect that this problem is specific to this machine, and when I get a new one – which now seems likely – it’ll have as much go as defiant. Nevertheless, I’ve had to place her on charge and use my old chair this evening.
