On the mend ... Monday 2nd – Tuesday 3rd Dec

There is definitely a chance that I may soon have to resume some of my house husband duties. Even if it means learning to do them left handed! The physio tells me things are progressing well with my shoulder, which is a relief, though I still have to take it easy while it heals. However I could use my left hand side for some things. The problem is I am far from ambidextrous, and by the time I’ve learnt to iron competently with my left hand, I suspect my right will have healed. So on balance I think I’ll just take it easy.

I had a bit of seasonal shopping to do, and so I took myself on the train to Liverpool. In an attempt to avoid getting my arm bumped into I wore my sling, and to be fair some people did give me some room, but most were in worlds of their own. I took the opportunity to visit the Cathedral (well one of them). I never fail to be amazed at the architectural grandeur and sense of space in these buildings. They can be wonderful places to find some peace in the middle of a busy city. My outing was moderately successful, which is all you can hope for at this time of year. There seems to be a fashion for continental/German style markets at the moment, and so there were plenty of wooden cabins erected on the streets selling food and drink. Though listening to the stall-holders accents they didn’t sound particularly continental.  I managed to get plenty of walking done, which is a plus, though I must find out how soon I can get back to driving. Though on the plus side I’m not missing the driving, we are saving on petrol, and Mrs P and the eldest are capable chauffeurs.

Yours exploring alternative transport.
