I’m back at work

… after a week off, spending time with my sister, taking my aged parents round bits of East Sussex. Much of the time was spent deploying a variety of tactics to try and get my elderly dad to sit in a wheelchair. Something which may be described as challenging, since despite being very shakey and vulnerable, he is particularly stubborn and convinced that his 32 years in the airforce has given him a lifetime ability to parachute role his way out of trouble should he ever fall over anything! In the end we opt for getting him to ‘push’ the wheelchair with all our bags in it. This is less cruel than it seems, since it adds to his stability and balance, while stopping him from falling over kerbs that he can’t see because his sight is now failing.

 Anyway, today I’ve been updating our database of organisations who are members of HVA and teaching myself MS Access using this handy set of free web tutorials.
