All my shopping was finished in the week and for once I'm not filled with all that horrible self doubt about the things I've brought, I got a few smaller things for Mrs A but ordered a beautiful delicate silver and gold bracelet from her favourite online jewellers, we got both the kids new bikes.
I have a 1964 Lambretta and have been a lover of old scooters for a long time, it's a long story but my left lower leg is a bit of a mess and they are going to carry lout 2 more operations over the coming months which would have left me unable to ride. Instead of mopping about it given it's the only social life I have I've got hold of an old sidecar that I'm renovating and will be fitting to the scooter in the new year, I can ride that regardless of the state of my leg !
