The volunteer coordinator from a local disability organisation was meant to come and visit me at the lair this afternoon. They run a scheme that links disabled people with volunteers who help with things around the house or out and about.

Despite their previous reaction I was still up for meeting them to see if they could help. I re-arranged my day and took time off so I could fit in with her working hours. I also made sure Leftwing Idiot was with me so he could explain the sort of help I need.

But she didn’t turn up.
