Do you ever feel you don't know if you are on your head or your a*se.
Again.......this is not a sympathy request.
Wife in hospital unable to walk.
Some days I can't walk (not bad today though^_^)
Now I have the respite home on asking me to arrange for the 95 year old auntie to return home eg she needs a door removing, bed moving, various rails fitted and carers 4 times a day.... I have control of her bank accounts so need to agree to things.
Life, as they say is a @#$%+@#
I am going for a stroll :rolleyes:

So sorry to hear. I feel powerless to offer help, though wish I could. You take excellent care now. xx

It's definitely a policy backed up by peer reviewed research. Get people moving as soon as possible.

I agree Mo , but there is one among us who becomes more awesome as the years pass , he possesses super human powers . I speak of the man from Poshshire the Mighty Drago :notworthy:.......:laugh:.

I am a little disappointed in the final words of your post but I'll live with it. Well I'll try........

Good morning all.

Weather looks a bit mixed today in most respects, but it looks blustery all day.

I find myself at a disadvantage sometimes on this thread. So many of you are foodies! :laugh:

I can't help it, but I find eating about as interesting as putting fuel in a car.

So apart from preferring home made bread, and one brand of marmalade above all others, my dietary preferences are small.

I spent a couple of days looking at other threads, one now closed and the other getting a bit 'shouty'. I guess we all like to defend our opinions.

I haven't been able to do much cycling recently. Weather not great. Mum's affairs to complete. The shoulder that I injured in that tumble is OK most days just sitting about, but it quickly becomes painful out on the bike, and even on the turbo.

I've still got some broken teeth from the fall to have fixed as well. i might try a short ride today though, just 5 miles or so to get the legs spinning.

On the other hand Danni has been going out on her bike on her own and ripping up the tarmac. She's a real convert now, training on the turbo, finding hillier routes and improving segment times on GPS and Strava. She's becoming quite competitive about it. I'm still joint second on one local segment though, and I don't think she's going to match it. that'll wind her up. :laugh:

Now this is what I like to hear. Go Danni! Hillier is good. Very good. :okay:

but.... true. he says, breathing in and holding his breath ;)
Its not fair , a guy gets ravaged by time and he has a craggy rugged frontier aura about him a woman is not regarded in the same
light at all. An old 90 year guy I knew when I was about 17 or 18 would come out with some choice lines about women getting on a bit or gaining weight. He would be killed for saying it today but it was kinda funny then by general consent . He would say "Bejaysis that wan is runnun' to terrible fat , she has an arse on her like a silverback gorilla , I thought it was the Titanic comin' when I seen her roundin' the corner.. "
