Here we are in Mandurah, a get together with the HD group this morning was a great way to kick start our break. Ten pin bowling in Warwick with 20 people most with HD symptoms. We all had a good time and Merv being a regular bowler did well at 88 and Mel came in at 95. Me, well that's another story. Had a healthy sandwich for lunch and more coffee before heading out on the freeway. Beautiful winter weather, blue skies so warm no cardi needed. Just perfect. An hour later we roll up at the Mandurah Ocean Marina Chalets and unpack the car and settle into our disability unit. At 3pm we stroll over to Dophin Quay and had a quick look at the shops and find ourselves in a bag, jacket and jewellery shop. It is tiny with every inch used and the colours spill out and envelope us in its magic. I didn't want to leave without sharing some cash and bought some fabulous long green and pewter dangly earrings. Mel bought earrings and a black and silver chunky bangle. Looks great. After a walk around the quay we found Café Delight and ordered afternoon tea and soaked up the late afternoon sun.
But this isn't home, the bathroom is accessible but not with the home comforts we are used to. The bedroom floor is cold, there is no carpet and Merv's lift recliner chair is lonely at home. But saying all of that we are looking forward to the movies, to the zoo, to being explorers and having fun that doesn't always happen at home. So off we go, different is good to.
