Lots of public transport and The Blog Action Day - Poverty = 15th October 2008

I've had what feels like a very busy day.

LittleBoo has gone to Julie-ulies for the weekend and was collected this morning, so I was free and had decided to get in me leccie wheelchair so PA (carer) Zoe and I could go on a journey. We took a bus, a train, a bus, a wheel and spent the afternoon with John. He had a gig and it was good to see the kids and adults respond to the hard work he put in. After this Zoe and I walked into town and I managed to get hold of some DVDs I meant to get last time I was in this neck of the woods.

John joined us and Zoe headed back to get an earlier train. We had a lovely veggie meal, much laughter, conversation catching up on each others lives, we began to work on planning my Uni film project. Time ran out and we rushed off to the station where the 19.44 train arrived to take me home. Neither of us could be described as romantic soppys, but saying goodbye always feels inadequate when we've still so much more to talk about. Such is life.

One thing we did talk about was Blog Action Day 2008 - Poverty. This is a one day event where anybody with a blog is asked to write about poverty this Wednesday 15th October. People all over the world are expected to take part. I've registered and I'm intending to write about living on disability welfare/benefits for the past 14 years or so.
