Re: Can you walk heel to toe?

Hi

All joking apart, I can.

Nadi is a keen gymnast, I got her one of these for Christmas.

It has been a source of great amusement to the littlies to teach Grandad how to do it.

Very interesting.
That's true Emjay. I just did the same along my hall and all was fine but as you say, it is easier if you look forward. I wonder why that is?

They have stabilisers on them which is cheating really.

Re: Can you walk heel to toe?

I can still walk heel to toe, thank goodness, as for crouching I can get down but once there I can't get back up without help.

Why do supermarkets have such a low bottom shelf? I crouch down to reach what I want, find myself stuck, kneel down on the floor and wonder if I caught hold of a higher shelf would it topple over onto me It's so embarrassing when you have to ask a shop assistant for help

I have one of those kneeler seats for working on the garden, I find they are a big help now and couldn't manage without it.

I might suggest to supermarkets to provide one for each aisle to aid us unfit over50's

I have trouble reading the price stickers when they are down low. I end up guessing as I would look pretty silly laying on the floor.

What a great idea. A dedicated over 50's aisle. Price tags printed in 48pt type and a lay-by for all friendly chats and skew-whiff trolleys.
