Good moaning Drago. Good morning everybody else.
My eyes are bleary, my tinnitus is singing loudly, I've got toothache, and my left arm feels like it's hanging by a thread. But enough self-pity from me, hey, I'm still alive, and many have it worse.
I've read some bits of the thread that I missed, and I'm saddened by other people's recent experiences.
There's a couple of Daves on here deserve big hugs. I always feel frustrated under these circumstances and inadequate. I want to do more, I wish I could, but I'm too insignificant a cog to make any real difference.
To anyone feeling down today, have a hug, feel the love.
We try to minimise our energy consumption in this household, but bones were feeling a bit chilled last night, so we turned the heat up a little last night, just a bit mind, and we feel a little better for it.
I was keeping a car on the road so that I could get to Mum at any time in case of emergency. It's just an old 1 litre petrol Corsa, but it's very frugal. Last night I decided that soon I must now bid it farewell to fund N+1; It'll be another road bike, but something for the colder and wetter weather, with eyelets for mudguards and panniers.
I'm not anti car by the way, so not imposing that view. I'm more against the system that more or less imposes car dependency on many people, but I guess that's for a different thread.
The Met Office report that its 275K out there today. I'll take their word for it and stay out of the cold until at least my shoulder feels better. I might try and use the turbo today though until it aches too much to carry on.
Have the best day you can folks. xx
Unfortunately, it WAS his! He'd snapped his humerus. There was a 1 cm gap between the 2 ends. The hospital didn't have a lot of staff available so someone suggested that he should go home and come back in a few days time if it still hurt! He politely refused to leave... He stopped in overnight and they dealt with him on Boxing Day.
