29th June 2016


Sorry that I'm not blogging as often as I should. I will try to blog at least once a month even though not much changes but I'm happy to say that I blind-sim as much as before – Wednesday afternoon in Chris's office, Friday morning household duties with fortnightly piano lessons still fun for both of us, and my occasional bird watching trips back to usual, despite terrible weather this year so far.

Torrential rain as the TV forecast comes up with only too often.

However, I had a little adventure last Wednesday in May which had anyway turned out to be a really nice sunny day. It resulted in me having a new (fourth) blindsimming acquaintance on my Wednesday morning trips. Up till then I had three acquaintances who all took me to be a genuine blind person – Tony, the bird watcher; the fisherman who I still chat briefly with over the hedge as I walk past (of course! I should say as I am guided past!) and the bus-driver who, more often than not, is the same very helpful man who knows where I should be getting off and stops the bus to help me. I must tell you next time of a slight hiatus over that event and I will tell you about the new fourth acquaintance then as well.

31-may-2016

but actually 1st June today, but just to get at least two blogs in May!!




I (and Chris) occasionally wonder how many of you blindsimming enthusiasts are able to make regular blindsimming outings such as I am lucky to be able to do. We get little or no feedback to our blog here and hope we are not wasting our (or your, for that matter) time. Is anyone really lucky to have a regular guiding friend who really believes that you are genuinely blind – and leaves you with a guilty conscience? Would be most interesting to hear, please!
