When I go to meet Sam this afternoon, I am going to use the scooter as it feels like it may give way at any moment.

Sue did her grocery shopping and then we left, by the time I got home I was barely able to move.

Been a good day, turned out warm and Tim did a lot more work in the back yard and it is starting to look good.

Me well other than getting the clothes of the line, folding and putting them away, I ironed the work shirts and that was a bitch of a job because we soaked them overnight in wash booster stuff, they were extremely wrinkled, and I hadn’t put them in the dryer just hung them out to dry.
