I'm a right pain !
We called 111 and are waiting for a call back . I hope they don't say that I have got to go to the R.U.H in Bath.
Just had a long chat and waiting for a call back from an out of hours doctor .
The bruise is now 6 inches by 4.
The medical peeps were very helpful .

I'm on low dose aspirin, bisoprolol and a statin, I used to be on Clopidogrel as well, whilst on the Clopidogrel i did similar to you, foot slipped on the pedal and nearly launched myself off the bike, I bruised the top of my thigh on the saddle, by the time it started to fade it stretched from my hip down to my knee. So no you're not a pain, it needs checking out.

Making bread. Running low on bread flour. Bread flour now rarer than loo paper and rocking horse poo.

Oh and I was stopped walking home from work last night and quizzed by two very polite young people wearing Police uniforms, neither looked old enough to be out that late without their Mums! Jeez I've gotten old???

I made up an arbitrary rule the other day: if I weigh below 70kg, I can have a bacon sandwich. No bacon today then.

I hope they were yellow. Bananas have been readily available here, but they've all been green so I've not bothered.

Oh dear...you have my sympathy!

So Sioux is an attributed name? Like Welsh, which meant foreigner/outsider to a bunch of AngloSaxons who'd arrived in SE England. So, it's what outsiders call outsiders or what enemies call enemies.

Yes, it's much more complicated, but Sioux is a kind of exonym, but the longer term of the Objibwe means little snakes, as opposed to the Iroquois, who were the big snakes. Mostly, Dakota and Lakota tribes make up the Sioux. The Welsh, despite their name, I was always told made up the remnant of the original Britons. A lot of First Nation history in the States is rather murky and involved and embarrassing.

Sorry for the delay . I was waiting to hear back from a doctor and then had to charge my tablet .
They were very helpful and were concerned about me bashing my head . So if I start to make sense please let me know .
They said that we could go down to the R.U.H. to get things checked out but we decided that things seem to have improved from first thing this morning . If my leg becomes hot or painful I will let them know . I am on clopidogrel.

It is freezing cold and very blowy out . I was sat outside sanding my balsa model so my brain is still functioning .
My head hit the ground with a bit of a bang . That expanded polystyrene isn't very soft ! No visible damage to the helmet or my head . The doctor was more concerned that as I was on blood thinners I could have an internal bleed. No problems so far .

I hope you angled the tandem just right so that you had a tailwind the whole way.
