It has been a great afternoon. As planned I met Lyn in Crewe; I think that, for Lyn, today was an exercise in independence. She told me that she used too make such solo trips quite regularly, but recently has been lacking the courage. It was therefore great to see her up here, and I think the exercise was a great success. She was already talking about doing it again next Saturday, but I might be going home for the weekend, so it depends.

We didn’t get up to too much. We were alone, and without P.As there’s not much we could do. We managed to cause a bit of mayhem, but not as much as I’d have liked. Having said that, an ambulance was involved at one point: coming out of a pub, Lyn almost fell out of her chair; her arse slipped off the seat. I called ‘help’ to a couple of men passing by, who unfortunately turned out to be idiots. Instead of simply pulling Lyn back up onto her chair, they decided to call an ambulance. I tried to explain, to no avail. Then another guy came who understood the problem. once Lyn was back on her chair, we scarpered to where we were due to meet Lyn’s taxi.

5 minutes later, guess what: up rolls an ambulance. I type faster than Lyn, so I explained what had happened, and that we were both fine. The ambulance man understood, and I apologised for wasting his time. He needed to hear Lyn tell him that she was o.k.

So, all in all, great fun. Going out, alone, with Lyn may have it’s drawbacks, but it was good to be ‘just us two’ so to speak, jut like a regular couple.
