    Hooray for aids that are enabling- I’m a big fan. Just a pity they cost an arm and a leg to get them.
    Hope the rain stops soon - at least it’s cooling everywhere down.
    I bet they’ve done a lovely garden at The hospice. They are amazing places - Ive visited my friend’s daughter at our local one - such a warm and welcoming environment that did amazing things for my friends family whilst caring for her children and for the family after the inevitable happened.
    Hope your ds dodges the rain at his bbq.
    Take care and have a good weekend.

    Thanks BusyMe.
    I have thought about those things.
    I plan at the moment to use it locally and then when out and about further afield when there is some one around to lift it in & out of the car.
    The battery is lithium.
    Can’t remember the weight.
    My next car(if I have one as you never know) will have a hoist.
    Hopefully all will fall into place.

    I suspect when you get your scooter Beanie you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

    Even if it cuts the falling a bit that will be good.
