I was obviously going to post about my lovely chair on here but must have been having problems with the blog or keyboard or something as there is nothing here.
Well my chair:
I am really pleased with it. I was looking in a shop in Gravesend that had 'free books' I thought it seemed strange so I went in for a nosey. Was talking to the chap in there, he was sitting in a low rocker, and I said 'I love your chair.' He asked me if I wanted it. I wasn't sure if I was being teased so I said I would love it but couldn't manage it with mum and the wheelchair.
The following Wednesday when mum was at her club I went back in and asked him if he meant I could have the chair. He said I could but was going out so wouldn't be able to help me get it in the car. Well I wasn't going to be outdone by a chair. I carried it for about 100 yards towards the lift. Had a rest, then another 100 yards. In the lift, out, luckily I hadn't parked too far from the lift!
I am driving a Ka at the moment, and it might have been a struggle but I wasn't giving up. We arrived home safely. Then the struggle to get it out of the car into the garage where it lives at the moment. The next day my arms were quite achey!!!!! It needs a clean and cushions but I love it.
I bought some foam 5ins for the seat and 4ins for the back. I am going to cover them initially in calico to protect them, then decide on the covers proper. I need a pouf to put my feet on when i am sitting in it. So another project for after Christmas.
