Platform 1

It was cooler today, but the sun shone and the day was very pleasant.

The Gorse Fox left the Silver Vixen in charge at home (as if she wasn't anyway), and headed off to Worthing for some football. The game was a nice 6-a-side and started off as a very tight game. The Gorse Fox had his work cut out defending against their marauding attackers. Eventually, the dam burst and they scored. By half-time, the score was 2-1 but we were hanging in there. In the second half, it became a little more one-sided and the eventual score was 5-2. The Gorse Fox had tried his best but his stamina wasn't back up to its normal levels.

Back home we had decided that the Silver Vixen would be more comfortable in her own chair in the evenings. Recently she has been in an older chair with extra cushions to give her the height she needs. All we had to do was raise her chair to the right height. The Gorse Fox turned the garage back into a workshop. Plywood and pine were attacked with circular and chop saws. Holes were drilled, screws were inserted, and before long we had an elevated platform on which the chair could be supported. Hopefully, she will be a lot more comfortable this evening.

After her final jab, the Gorse Fox took the Silver Vixen along to Sainsbury's. He had some general groceries to pick up and the Silver Vixen wanted to buy some new leggings. It was a bit of excitement for her, getting out of the house and starting to roam about. Soon she will regain her full confidence and there'll be no stopping her.
