Monday 26 April

Last Thursday himself and I went to the Naidex exhibition at the NEC (National Exhibition Centre) in Birmingham.  Just south of it actually.  It's an exhibition showcasing disabled equipment, whether for use by other-abled people (like me) or their carers, either family or professional.  It was all expensive of course, as such stuff always is, and I only bought one item

And this was it.   A kind of bean bag lap tray which you could also use as a zip-up bag on the back of your wheelchair.  I bought it because it seemed the perfect solution for balancing my laptop on my lap when my legs are too short to do so.

Of course there were all the usual brochures and leaflets and free gifts that you always pick up at these do's.  A bag within a bag within a bag.  Loading up the car at hometime, A Person went and left that bag on the car park.  Forgotten.  Omitted. Excluded.  So all the car brochures (which we DID want) and all the other (which we didn't) were gone and we went on the show's last day.  Nobody handed it in so that was 35 quid down the drain

Ironically, though we lost all the other leaflets, this one - advertising the only item we bought- did find its way home.  I'm keeping it.  It must be the most expensive leaflet ever published!
