Sprained ankle

My father took my mother out on Friday and they had a nice day, until the end when my mother stepped off a steep step further than she thought and took a tumble. My dad knew it was steep and had gotten off first to help her down, but after only 40-odd years of marriage still hadn't taken on board that my mother leads with her right foot; so he was on the wrong side.

So this meant a lot of running around for me doing errands and getting in the shopping. Always a laugh -

"I need some potatoes"
"Okay what type, how many?"
"Oh I know what I need when I see it"
"Yeah except you're not coming"
"Um?"
