What a day it has been. I don’t think I can write much because, to tell you the truth, I’m absolutely knackered. Lyn and I went to Naidex today, an exhibition for people with disabilities where the newest equipment is shown. We had a great time: I am looking for a new electric wheelchair, and while I didn’t see one which my gut demanded I get, I picked up a few brochures worth looking at. However, I did see one chair reminiscent of a land rover, which had back wheel drive and front wheel steering: I was impressed, but I would need to give it a thorough test drive. Other than that, to be honest I can’t say I saw much particularly worth reporting, although Lyn had a great time talking about speech apps for the Ipad, and we saw the new neater eater, which is automatic (the guys vetoed getting this, insisting that I must at least do some things for myself). Mind you, I was surprised not to see many communication aids there – there wasn’t even a stall by the guys from Toby Churchill.

We came back across the river on the new Emerates cable car, the first time Lyn and I had use it. The views, I must say, were fantastic, the ride was amazing, although part of me was just glad of the chance to sit down, having been on my feet for the past few hours due to lack of wheelchair. In all, then, a pretty cool day, and I suspect I’ll sleep soundly after it.
