hoist moving day

I didn't go into the office yesterday because I had a really bad cold. Laid in bed watching "The Hills" and "Breaking Bad" all day. Feeling better today but not quite perfect, still sniffley. So, met Kirstin in the office and we walked over in the pouring rain to Ace car hire service and rented a HUGE white van (perfect for pedophiles). Kirstin had to drive because A. I don't have a UK license B. I am used to driving on the OTHER side of the road C. I don't know how to drive a stick shift. We had some issue backing out of the lot because the van was huge and there were no rearview mirrors. We drove back to the office and pick up Marc and John who drove the Kidzcare van. The school we were supposed to be driving to is only about 3.5 miles away from the office but Kirstin and I tried to take a short cut but got lost :(. When we finally got there we piled about 12 hoists into the two vans. We made the guys do it because they were extremely heavy, only one folded up. We need each child's hoist for the playscheme so that we are able to move them around. The hoists are battery powered machines that go around the child's wheel chair to lift them if they are not able to move themselves. I've seen it done a few times at the blind school, it's not a hard process but it is time consuming especially if the child is being difficult. We have training next Friday for it. So, we drove back to the blind school and stored them for a few weeks. After all the work was done Kirstin took us all out for 'tea and cake' for all our help. We walked down the road to Black Medicine and got cake. My rocky road crumble was awesome. Hayley and I are flying out to Germany (!!!) tomorrow to see her aunt.
