Practicing an electric scooter in the cemetery? What has the world come to?
the best April Fool was from Dublin, where they claim they are going to have wardens checking that nobody touches the shiny parts, of the statue of Molly Malone. You can probably guess where the shiny bits are. I thought that was the only one worth laughing at.

Well cars and a few motor bikes drive right up to the end of the row where their family’s graves are - still on the paths which are broad enough for cars and the council road maintenance vehicle depot is there so diggers etc go through .
The teenagers from the local estate get up to mischief I am pretty sure in the evenings - they seem to congregate there.
Dog walkers use it very much ,most keep their dogs on the lead though .
There are no signs scooters are not allowed.
What if I wanted to visit a grave, such as my dear friend and neighbour ‘s son and grandson’s grave which I have done since she died as no one else does.
She is buried elsewhere ,near where she lived as a child ,but it is a little act of kindness as she would be very upset that it is not visited.
I could walk down our very steep street but not back uphill .
I think to not go would be worse than going slowly on my scooter,which is a souped up chair on wheels !
I could do wheelies in the parking space af a redundant ambulance station now abandoned ,but up for sale so deserted .
That is if I ever get confident enough !
It is a big powerful beast ,not like the one I had a go on ,same model but that had been used for many demos I expect so was a lot tamer!
I will get there ,but slowly ,at the moment it is a big expensive worry .
Another lovely day ,but quite chilly.
I MUST tidy the garden ,stuff moved for the scooter shed is all over the place - bench and table,garden chairs , fig tree in huge pot,etc etc etc.
I can’t move much so rely on sons who just moved it all quickly for new shed.
Well this is not getting work done is it!
Cheerio, best wishes for those unwell and the lonely.
Thank goodness for RootsChat!
