Sunny, no supervision today.
Off on the bike, explore the Saxon Shore and find pubs.
Feeling brave I might get the train back from somewhere to here.
Right, bread out of the maker and off.

Been watching the breakfast TV and both channels were talking about MND and the recent death of a rugby player . Just now they said that in Scotland they are restricting the amount that footballers head the ball due to brain injuries.
Is MND more common in rugby players or has it just been highlighted more ?
Its a good question.

So that's where the fog went, you took it home with you. And now it's escaping, forming a mist.

The wind and rain have not let up all day.
Out by car this morning to the chemist for some more medications. Went fairly early to avoid probable parking problems later as there is a Christmas market on later in the nearby public hall.
This evening there is the great switch on of Christmas lights along the Main St. and late night shopping.
This seems to have superceded the New Year firework display and general festivities at that time. The whole town or so it seemed gathered just before midnight at the clock tower with bottles of whisky poised.
We had late night shopping the evening before and all the shops were encouraged to participate which most did. We as well as others had a large bowl of fairly potent punch which was dispensed freely to anybody who appeared. We took the precaution ourselves of leaving the van at home and travelling on foot.
This Christmas nonsense is an import from foreign parts as New Year was the main celebration in Scotland with a nod towards Christmas. I remember doing a Christmas morning mail delivery when I worked for the Post Office and most shops were open as normal.
Equally, New Year was a pretty normal day in England in years past.

My recycling bin was emptied before I left home this morning so it was retrieved and put in it's proper place round the back rather than being left out wherever the bin men left it until tomorrow afternoon when I get back.
Then the sun made an appearance and it's been alternating between sunshine and fog all the way to Peterborough

In short no it's not more risky or common in rugby. You're right its just more in the news. Due to high profile former players a main one beingRob Burrows and his team mates having taken to make more aware of it.
MND is genetic won't go into and is very different to repeated head injuries in sport. It become a topic at ours in the last few years as Mrs 73 did work around it for her masters so plenty of research papers and work came my way. It's quite complex so won't go into the why's and how's but it's no longer in question It's an ever growing body of evidence and research. Commonly reported as dementia in former high profile footballers. But not limited to dementia or to football
Hope that help

The scaffolding boards above me have been removed and I can believe how bright it is this morning. It's like the flat has been wearing a peaked cap for the last three years.
