Harry Underfoot

It rained all night and cleared up during the morning.  I was pleased as I am driving all the way to Mt Claremont and I expect we will do the return journey in peak hour traffic.  I will turn on the radio and keep my weary eyes glued to the road, there are always impatient and reckless drivers to be wary of.
Mel never did get her driver's license, she tried a couple of times but her medication was always her downfall.  Merv stopped driving in 2010 when he suddenly became ill.  I've been driving since I was twenty-one, it took me five times to bribe (maybe terrify) the instructor, but finally I was granted my license to brag about and flash around.
I am now the nominated driver for everything, no matter how long or short the journey.  I am a good driver but I jump at the chance of being chauffeured somewhere.  If someone offers I always agree!
Today I took Mel to Neurosciences and had her 'shaking' assessed.  The specialist was thorough and Mel reported he was very nice and considerate.  Just when we thought big bad Harry might wake from his slumber, we were relieved to know he is just underfoot.  We were both delighted to know her shaking isn't HD related, possibly a side effect of her ongoing medication.   It was a time to celebrate and we decorated our plates with huge sweet strawberries and enjoyed!
