MUSINGS

It has been one of those crazy days, when I try to do too much and end up getting all wobbly.

Now of course I have stabilised and I am wide awake!! 

I went to a disability expo today, not a big one in the city, 

just the local one, where I know most of the participants.

Decided to take the boy, 

I knew it would be a great place 

to explain what I am trying achieve with Middi.

He is such a great ambassador for Assistance dogs.

He walks in with his head up, looking like a prince.

First thing I do is tell him to "relax",

I know everyone is going to put their hand out and pat him, before they read the large signs on his harness, and my tray, telling them he is working, and not to pat!!

This is an on-going problem

and I have decided the only way to deal with it ,

is to let him sell my my goal of getting him registered in Victoria.

You never know, I might tell our story to someone

who can help us.

He certainly had a lot of admirers today!

No, Middi hasn't turned into a beetle,I just liked the photo!!

Anyway,

Nik and I, rock up to the expo in the big green Moira bus 

and there were -----

NO disabled parking spaces free!!!!!!!

and no parking permits on the cars in them.

Nik parked the bus in the only bit of room available,

and I stormed off to find a policeman.

[ I saw the community police car parked near us]

I was so angry, I am sick of not being able to get a parking place, because some able bodied person,

thinks they are above the law.

That evil bit of me was exceedingly happy

when Nik came in, and told me the policeman had slapped a ticket on the car.

Parking is a nightmare when you have a large van

and some selfish person, has taken the only space

that allows Nik the room to off load me

.

I have spent 5 years fighting with

Glen Eira Council about disability parking,

and I haven't won----- Yet!

On that note, I am going to bed,

GOODNIGHT
