Experiment 1 - Take Mater on a direct bus to N's. Potential complications (1) Only once per 30 mins, so need to wait. (2) Strange route. Outcome - success, moderate anxiety but moderate success with coping mechanisms.
Experiment 2 - Take Mater to a new lunch spot - the Chinese 'all you can eat' buffet near N's. Points to note: Buffet-style, so no waiting for food. Outcome - result! Much food enjoyed.
Experiment 3 - Take Mater to the allotment. Outcome - she seemed content to watch me weed for an hour, and showed interest in the asparagus berries, strawberry runners, etc. Good.
Experiment 4 - Take Mater to N's for the afternoon. Outcome - a pleasant hour.

Sadly, Expt 4 had to to be terminated early, at 4pm. Mater knows when the reception closes at the hospital, and it's a trigger point for her. So I spent two hours getting her, and then me, 'home' during rush hour.

Am tired now. No more hard stuff until Monday...

What was that you said this morning about not being able to do less than three 'things' in a day? Get it now. Glad all the experiments went pretty well. Sounds like a good day for you and Mater (if you overlook the traffic nonsense.

Now go rest!!!

The thing with Mater is, getting the bus somewhere is a huge deal. The rest follows easily in comparison... getting back excepted...

The getting back was what I meant really. Taking the bus sounded like a relative success all told.

Horay for successful experiments and a productive day. (Boo to traffic).
