Treadmill, trolley and trifle!
I decided that I wanted to get a new treadmill as I didn't like the one that I had and passed that to a friend instead. The handle bar thing made my arms hurt and I decided to go for one without.
It arrived and it was lovely - white, and, just as I wanted there was no bar. However, this made trying to get on it an interesting experience. It took me a good five minutes with someone else having to go on it first to show me HOW in order for me to manage to copy what they did. Oh how we laughed!
I'm happy to report now that I am able to get on (and off) of it without assistance of supervision!
On the very same day, I took my Mum shopping in the afternoon to a nearby supermarket and, unfortunately the wheel of her trolley caught in a drain cover and tipped her trolley over. SOMEHOW, a glass bottle of olive oil survived, but a trifle burst through its cellophane and went all over the bag - and my coat as I was picking it all up for her.
As I had been walking with my trolley ahead of her, initially all I heard was the crash. I spun round quickly to check she wasn't injured and dashed over to her seeing her moving her knee out of the way and the trolley/contents on the floor.
After realising she was Ok, I suddenly went "My trolley!" I had literally abandoned it on the spot. Thankfully, despite a slight hill, it had come to a stop by a bollard in the car park less than a metre where I left it and NOT into a car - phew!
We had to see the funny side of it all as it was one of those situations. They managed to eat the trifle (well was was left in the pot) and I took her back last week to get another one that remained intact and had more custard as that was what had mainly leaked out.
