Who knows anything is possible.













Berkshire, England.

Quite amazing how things can change around so quickly, week before last I was quite down, thinking the paperwork had not arrived at the council yet.

Felt so let down and just could not understand that three weeks later the three people who had been here on the 17 September had not made sure their paperwork was done quickly.

Welzorg, Summit and ARCA had all assured us that they would do everything in their power to speed the process up.

Really had to pinch myself as thought I was in a bad dream, on the 17 September they had all assured Richie and me that the whole process would go as fast as possible.

And here it was three weeks later and instead of good news, it was the worse possible.

One week later and it is all different again, this time it is good news, was so excited to hear that on the 29 October I would get the adapted seat attached to my electric chair.

We talked about it the whole day Thursday, kept coming back to the moment of the telephone call.

The funny thing was that at first I thought the appointment was going to be on the 29 of November.

Tried to not be too down about having to wait for so long, so was delighted when I repeated what I thought Michelle had said, only to hear her say no not November on 29 October.

That made it very good, and the news about the paperwork not being sent quickly has totally faded into the background now.

The 29 October is the big day to work towards now, shame it is already so cold, it will not stop me from going out.

Now to organise warm clothes to wear, yippee I have the very enjoyable task of organising warm clothes to go out in.

Today the sun is shining and the sky is blue, no window open now as it is too cold for that.

Guess the blue sky and sunshine is a big clue that it has got very cold indeed, on the window ledge the strawberry plant is doing it's best to cope with he cold wind.

Wonder if the last green strawberries will ripen, who knows anything is possible now.

That is a good feeling to have, and that is the one I shall take with me from today.

Have a good day too.

Anything is possible!!! I am living proof of that, lol!
:) I know what you mean about the big blue sky...it sure is an indicator of the cold weather here! We're still about a month or two (hopefully 2) away from snow, but the wind makes it close to zero degrees most nights!

What stunning pics! I loved them.

I'm glad you're getting what you need for your chair and that you don't have to wait till November to get it. It's amazing how something like that can change our whole outlook on life, isn't it?

This was a lovely blog post, I enjoyed reading it.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Dear Herrad,
there was once a time when I had to wear shoes found on the street (more on that soon at my site), there was also I time when I thought I better keep on swimming until I can't anymore - there were however also moments, which did call me back to the shore, hurring to get me Jeans on and to return home. Oh! you are so very right to say that anything is possible. Wishing you soon days to leave home, riding through town, only to know that you can return, knowing that you can leave tomorrow again.

Hi Judy,
Thanks for coming by, glad you like the photos.
They take me back to when I lived in Reading, Berkshire.
Looking forward to going out again soon.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for sharing, there are times things happen and then life calls you back.
Feel called back to take part again now I can go out again.

Thanks my friends for coming by and sharing your comments.
Have a good day tomorrow.
Love,
Herrad
