Getting a bit cloudy so I think our spell of good weather is over for the time being anyway.
Got out for a trike run in sunshine up the Moss Road.
I had thought of going further up Loch Etive but the hill at Queen’s Brae is hard going on the way back.
The last consultant I saw suggested I give up cycling meantime but I am not sure he understood the kind of cycling I currently indulge in. The Kett. trike is a heavy beast but I can use maximum e assist if I feel the need rather than pushing a bit harder.
Ended up doing about 10 miles and feel a bit knackered.
I am getting lined up for a pacemaker and TAVI as the heart could not cope without the pacemaker apparently.
This is kind of a “ kill or cure” thing and opinions vary as to the prospects of success.
Not that I have much option as my aortic valve is seriously clogged up and will certainly kill me if not attended to. OTOH I have had over 89 active years so cannot really expect much more but both my parents lived well into their 90’s so the genes suggest longer life possibility.

Nearly 3.5 hours of almost unbroken sunshine this afternoon - we've gone from the repeat of the grotty spring conditions to almost autumn weather.

Test ride completed, quick adjustment fettle, back out for another test ride, another adjustment fettle and bike put away. That's it for today, my feet are up and I'm not moving.

A lovely sunny day all round, washing is dry and been bought in. Charlie's been out for another walk in the sun , he's had a bath and the Dyson has been walked over the floors. My evening walk has been walked, now sat having a enjoying last of the days warm weather with the backdoor open. Shame the nights are drawing in on days like this.

Post WAH trek to the Co-op to find an empty shelf so an empty rucksack carted back home.
Day off tomorrow with the delights of the dental hygienist. Postie has confused me by delivering tomorrows today but not todays if the tracking is right.

Charlie's asleep and the radio program has finished. I'm bored so off for another walk well it's still light.

Edit Charlie’s woke up and wants another potter so my walks on hold for a bit 1st.

I didn't wear the nappy leggings on the end but a normal pair. It was a bit chilly on my legs to begin with but it soon warmed up. We had bright sunshine here which was nice until we were heading towards it and then riding into shadows. Blinding one minute and then pitch black the next. Where did the road go ?

sunny ? yup it was when the sun got going but when your on a fork truck taking parts from a lorry at 6 am it was ruddy chilly ! forecast for my ride in tomorrow is 5 c .

Transpired the free Apple TV sub from Barclays isn't free as the £5 taken monthly from the current account now simply funds the 'rewards' rather than being available to go into a savings account. So a Moneybox ISA set up and the funds from two Barclays saving accounts to head into it, them be closed and a direct debit cancelled.

Haven't had a rolo for a very long time!

I only remember them being sold in paper tubes.

You had liquorice allsorts in a tube?

Went to the post office, then to check one walnut tree nearby (it's been stripped clean ) and thence to the Co-op.

Haven't been in there a while and had forgotten how expensive it is compared to Tesco. Fortunately some of the items I wanted, I managed to get on yellow sticker, so that knocked a fiver off what I *would* have otherwise paid.

Soup and fruit for supper. Will probably have something else later in the evening, but I need a bit of a rest / sit down first.

Scrubbered by the banks security. £500 went in the ISA but trying to make a larger payment and it was blocked. Had them on the phone and it seems the £500 hadn't yet been recognised by the security system so its thinking the larger amount is a payment to an unknown payee despite me okaying it in mobile app.
