I almost nearly had a huge wobbly panic, today!!

I'd finished a 15 mile loop around Cannock Chase on the Brommie (keeping on Blue routes and avoiding the Red & Black trails I used to bounce around on the Full Sus). I reached into the chest pocket of my jacket to discover that the zip was undone and my car keys were gone!!! Aghhhhhh! What to do??
Obvious choice, retrace my route and hope against hope that I'd spot them.. Forlorn hope, thought I 😔
A couple of miles into my backtracking, I had a sudden wonderful memory of taking the keys out of the pocket and attaching them to the clippy thing in my backpack, when I stopped for a banana break, as they were in danger of getting wet in the jacket as it was precipitating it down!

Phew!

The E10 I bought @ 152.9 ppl this morning at 06:00 would have cost me 154.9 ppl at 19:00 this evening.
Maybe I could sell it and make a profit 😁😎

Which was 145.9ppl when I filled up midweek!

My bike continues to be dusty.

In other news, I helped refit and decorate a shop today; This job certainly provides variety.

I've done similar, from putting the shelving in place, through building the display boards, to painting the walls.
Throw in a bit of emergency plumbing, replacing windows on the second floor, to dealing with boilers that didn't want to work when needed.

And I was only working in a toyshop.

Bit different to the microwaved crap we get in English hospitals cooked on an industrial estate somewhere.

I cannot speak for the big hospital in town, but the little R.C. hospital where I was has good food cooked on the premises, and good staff. One person per room, for the most part, especially in case of serious illness. Which is good, because when I am in the hospital I tend to sleep about four hours per night and watch a lot of old movies.
