Oh, what a day!

Having survived the doctors (quite tiring for Mater), we rested. Then I mentioned that there's a Farmers Market on locally today.

About 45 mins later, Mater suggested that she'd like to give it a whirl...

Whoopee!

We bought a rucksack full of stuff, for lunch, supper and the freezer. Mater was actually having fun! ...

... until Central Trains abandoned us :-( When there's supposed to be trains every 20 mins, and you've timed it perfectly to catch one, sitting for 45 mins on uncomfortable benches is doubly excruciating :-((((

But!

As soon as we stepped out of our home station, Mater started to laugh heartily: "I was convinced we'd never get home again ... but we made it!" :-) Yeah, she's now flaked out, having a rest, but ... wow!

This is sounding like progress! Hopefully the wait wasn't too hard on you both, and hope you both get a good rest!

The waiting was very hard :-( I have completed a 'comment'(!) form ... she suggested I just write "Your effin' trains were late!" :-)

I'm so glad that your mother is making steady improvement. It must be a great triumph for both of you. And you've got goodies from the farmers' market too. Yum!

We made sure to munch some whilst still at the Market, so as not to have to Share :-)

Go girls!

Just over one month since I was there and it is great to here about the massive improvement with Mater - give her a congratulatory hug from me please.

Well done the pair of you! I'm so pleased to hear that you're managing to have adventures -- especially with humour in the face of transport glitches.

Huzzah!!!

Good for Mater! This sounds very positive. (God rot Central trains though - except he apparently already has by the sound of it.)
