    More physical laze due to ribs, work is manic and no fun. Later Dutch neighbour is over for a few drinks with the Dutch guests - might drive me to my first drink this week

    Do they know what will happen and how long they will wait?

    Very deep breaths in and out is good for ribs. 👍 100 reps per rib should do.

    Mild, grey and wet. Meh.
    Dad's taxi duty today and not a lot else.
    Maybe some mower fettling 'cos it's currently a leaf hoover.

    Beans has cabin fever and the clock's haven't gone back yet.
    Help!

    Very mild, slightly damp wobble in. Work avoidance and bike tinkering planned till home time.

    It will please you to know I laughed at this and dropped my phone as I went to grab my ribs 😂

    Warm enough for the beach?

    Bloody dull here. Bloody wet too.

    On this day, the 27th of October 1992, I was diagnosed with Leukaemia.
    30 years on and I haven't been shot yet.

    Last year's post has been recycled and is now mathematically correct.

  • Very warm for the time of year and as wet as can be expected. Swim session booked for lunch followed by an evening run on my lonesome.
    Oh well, a deep house play list will keep me company.

    Here's few top tips about what to offer them.

    Busy morning again, but got in-laws round for lunch so will take a short break for that as Strifey is cooking something nice. Back is still in one piece after yesterday's communt, so will go out again on the weekend and explore the lanes.

    Yet another day of light but persistent rain. Enough already.

    Finished fettling new flat bar roadie for trainer duty, and has turned out quite nicely. Some very minor tweaking of position required but initial test was good. Managed to finish a decent ride course on it this afternoon, first in ages I've not had to climb off after 20 minutes with a bad neck and back aches. Still going to chiropractor tomorrow anyway.

    Ridey ride, must pump up tyres, ride is way too comfortable, which can only mean a pinch flat is on the way. Must also get out the proper lights ready for the clocks going back.

    Long meeting this morning. Bit of a break now, then more meetings this afternoon. Mini is at my mother's now, so me and Mrs B3 are out for dinner tomorrow night.

    Afternoon folks,
    Another day of fun in the orifice, have had to come out of the system so they can reboot for fixes three times so far. I doubt this will fix the main issues.
    Had to drive in as it's the EPO's day in the office, some delightful soul had dumped a double mattress in front of my garage. Reported it as fly tipping at 12.05, confirmation it had been picked up at 13.11 which I thought was very good. I just hope it has actually gone.
    Seano does talk sense when he says to take deep breaths TLW, been told to do that every time I've broken my ribs. The time I spent a week in hospital with a chest drain could possibly have been avoided by deep breathing. If you don't breathe deeply fluid can build up in your lungs, then you cough and that hurts a suck fight more than breathing deeply. This can also cause internal bleeding as in my case, although we don't know if the coughing directly caused the bleeding. Sorry to sound so negative, hope they heal fast.
    Anyway, onwards and upwards...

  • Out for a ride, crashed on a wet corner, worried riding buddy as I kept asking same things after for a wee bit. Carlifted home, brain fog gone, but lovely stiff neck and shoulders! Only got 11miles 😄

    Oh no! That sounds dreadful. Was it leaves or oil of just one of those things? Super slippery in some parts at the moment. Carefully followed a trail of spilt diesel on my commute home yesterday. Follow the 'rainbow road'

    Hope you have no lasting damage and recover soon.


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

  • Thanks - just a sharp corner on a downhill rural road, must have been greasy from the damp, had to brake and grip just went, landed in the grass luckily.

    Last day for one of the youngsters in our team, moving to a different office.
    His parting words were "you can't prank me any more" - little does he know :wink:

    Yep, slightly shifted a brake lever which will need repositioning, apart from that fine!

    I did notice, then immediately forgot due to getting distracted whilst writing bollox. That's probably worse than not noticing.
    Good news that you're still around to tell the tale. I must admit I couldn't tell you the date of my diagnosis, although I remember it all vividly of course. Dates are not important to me, my sister thinks I have a deliberate mental block around them similar to my old man's.
    The funny thing I found about having a diagnosis like that is I don't think they ever consider you cured, you're just in remission. The longer you are in remission the better your chances are. So when do you celebrate? Every day if you can, I need to remember to be thankful more often, thank you for the reminder Pinno and glad you're still around. I'll be raising a glass anyway but will happily nod northwards in your honour as I do so.

    I have the same lack of excuse as V68. Saw it, got distracted. :/

    Congrats on the ongoing health. You could probably eat a sandwich or two more.

    Cheers folks.
    No need for sandwiches but I will have a glass of plonk tomorrow - an Argentinian Mendoza Malbec to wash down a steak and ale pie.

    @veronese68 I get the '...so you're cured?...', which I never say yes to.
