After a break of nearly 12 months, while I had total replacements of both knees, today I returned to Volunteer Community Driver duties for our council's Home Living Support Services.
Had an old mental health patient who had to be taken to a nearby regional centre for some specialist X-Ray imagery. I thing the HLSS managers must have gone through their list of drivers and culled them down to me. I must make a note in my diary and next time I must remember to take along a can of car air freshener - Phew-eeee!!!!! LOL!
Still, it was good to get that first 'drive' done, amazing how it all just comes back to you!
Have another 'drive' booked for Friday - an elderly man going to the eye hospital with his wife accompanying him. I'm to wait and bring them back, so it could be a long day - I'll take a sandwich and a flask of hot water to make a cup of tea and a good book to read!
I created this blog to talk about my home region. I've used many images, including archival images but mostly I've used my own images.

Your title brought that old Gene Autry (sp?) song to mind. (Out where a friend is a friend...) Happy you are back to your volunteer work!
Yee Hawww!
