Thank you for your good wishes everyone.
Unfortunately, I had a minor disaster and all didn't end well. Brian took me to John Lewis in Nottingham to buy me a new shopping trolley and we did some shopping around town, but when we were approaching the tram stop (it was already coming in) I tripped over a metal grid in the pavement surrounding a tree in my haste.
I was sent sprawling headlong and my face slammed onto the pavement and finished up with a bruised right cheek, a bleeding mouth where I'd bitten my lips in the corner Today they are very swollen, as is my right hand and thumb. Typing is slow and laborious.
Today, we are off to our youngest son's place where they are giving me a special tea. It's a day late but they are only just back from holiday so that is something to look forward to. All in all though I guess it could have been a lot worse.
