Tuesday is normally one of grumpy's days to visit the gym for sessions with a personal trainer, how as all their facilities are on the first floor and the lift broke last thursday we couldn't go. However I didn't want to waste time when he has some strength so we stuck to our normal (well almost) time and did some errands such as taking some bottles to the bottle banks and paying some cheques into the bank. Was pleasantly surprised with the nice breeze which kept the temperature quite nice in the shade, had a walk (me walking him driving his PowerTrike) down to the riverside park, but there were no seats in the shade that were unoccupied so we came home. He'd had about 45 minutes of 'fresh' air so that wasn't bad for someone who hadn't been out since Friday. He also managed to get back up the stairs quite quickly (for him anyway) which was a good sign.

We've decided that for the duration of this 'heatwave' we will only go out between 10 am and 12pm by which time his energy levels have started to drop significantly
