Ride this morning. There is a chill in the air

As I was planning a ride with my friends tomorrow I thought I would try a ride to see how I was. I did my 12 mile route. I survived but my shoulder is a bit hurty.

I agree. I was told I would get a warm feeling in my back and lie still. Feel like a kick in the back from a horse which made me rigid. very quick tho' which was good.

I had a biopsy on my scalp recently, felt like they were trying to find the way in.

Pretty wet walk with Cassie this morning, I'm afraid I weakened & added an extra layer, a thin fleece.

Madam spotted someone she played ball with yesterday & disappeared into the far distance.

If you ever acquire a border collie, don't introduce them to balls.

The new rainwear is definitely heavy shower proof. And thick socks instead of summer ones was the right choice.

You’ll be telling me you had your long shorts on next

Cool, breezy and mostly sunny. Definitely a better day than yesterday.

Slept really well. Have had a quiet morning doing a few bits and bobs. Needed to open a fresh packet of antihistamines. I take half a cetirizine hydrochloride daily. I suffer from hayfever, but the meds, under recommendation from the quack, also helps keep my chronic sinus issues under control. A box of 30 tablets from Savers sets me back the grand total of £1.

This afternoon's agenda will be the things I didn't do yesterday. Which is go and pick some apples, and then go and furkle for walnuts.

Have acquired another photograph for my collection.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

TB and badgers? Alledgedly they can pass TB onto cattle. If Brock (aka the badger) was carrying TB and in a confined space for twelve (at a guess) hours, would there be TB in the air he breathed out?

The shock of seeing him there made me step back from the compost bin by about four feet. I assume my risk of TB is extremely small. Particularly compared to the danger from his bite, scratch or fleas, or catching any new variant of Covid.

Sunny with a bitterly cold wind and an occasional light shower.
Never got out on trike as intended due to other events taking over.
Haircut done and a new hearing aid supplied by the local hospital.
Car has developed a problem like wheels needing balanced. Stopped at Quickfit who found a front brake calliper sticking on but no time available to fix it on the spot so need to go and kick my local garage around for not finding this earlier.
Good job the trip to Paisley has been cancelled as not safe to drive that distance at speed.
To add insult my credit card would not work for some unknown reason but fortunately I have another option.

Heavy rain this afternoon in a similar pattern to yesterday. Matching my pattern of riding in morning whilst still dry and inside when it rains.

Well that was a waste of time , effort , fuel and parking fees. I had to go to Bath hospital to see a urologist about my PSA levels. They had gone up the past 3 times so they arranged an appointment. The appointment was late by an hour . We went in to see the urologist who basically said no need to worry we will see what the next reading says in 3 months. Why didn't they just send me a letter saying that ?

The evidence for the rise in bovine TB and badgers is not 100% and not clear cut. The massively ill thought out bags cull has hardly touch rates.
As for risk of human transmission it's tiny and contact in an open space would bring in down even more. Drinking infected milk is way more a risk.

My working day is completed
And I thought incompetent started with an I

Been a nice sunny day again but still cold , nice all the same. Its dried the washing anyway , waiting for the van to come back from MOT and service. Once i've paid and sorted things I will be off on my afternoon walk, be it later than normal.
Not complaining the guy is going it on his day off so cheeper and its only needed new anti roll bar links not bad given its 08 plate.
Was thinking the whole brakes needed going but all is fine. Every things all in is way less then we thought.

"Allegedly "sums it up as the evidence is a bit sketchy I think.
