While walking to the bus station in Bunbury this afternoon to go home, I suffered severe sciatic pain, probably because I played table tennis for too long this morning and then walked a distance around Bunbury this afternoon. When I alighted from the bus there was still nearly a km to walk to my place and I did not think I could make it and I didn’t have my phone to seek assistance.

A short distance up the street I saw a discarded shopping trolley and painfully made my way up to it and dumped my heavy shoulder bag into it. Then I rested my forearms on the trolley handle so that it took some of my weight and pushed it along the footpath with much less pain all the way to my place where the trolley was again discarded.

Now I am not so irritated by discarded shopping trolleys in the streets.
