Doc phoned. Blood work came back ok, so I don't need to go into hospital, which is a relief. She's given me a list of symptoms, and if any occur over the weekend I'm to go straight to A&E.

8 days until I go in for an exploratory procedure, whereupon i should discover if its bad but fixable, bad and not fixable but manageable, or bad and I should find a priest.

Sorry to be a bit cryptic, but I don't want to cry wolf and I don't want to worry friends on here (and i do have a couple, although I have to pay them!) unnecessarily. Just over a week and I hope to be abe to give you all a proper explanation. As of right here and now im a bit uncomfortable, tired and a bit run down feeling, but im in decent spirits.
Good that the blood stuff was OK
rest sounds worrying - not been here long but sending positive thoughts anyway

Good luck - whatever that means

Question for @ColinJ,
Are you aware of a "cobblestones Ride" organised by someone "just outside Hebden Bridge"?

Takes in Mytholm Steeps. You can only ride over any section once, otherwise you end up carrying your bike to the next lot of cobblestones.

Set to take in all the cobblestone roads and no tarmaced sections. It sounds familiar, but I don't see how anyone would manage Hebden Bridge to Blackwall(Halifax) on cobblestones only.

Checking in for duty ^_^.
Sat with coffee, listening to Tony on SoTS.
Carer due at 07.15.
Today will be chill(ish) although I have a load of bedding to do.
I bought some ribs from the butcher yesterday......coated with rosemary and garlic... WoW it smells strong.
I have never cooked ribs before so it should be interesting :rolleyes:. I have decided to oven cook them for 3 1/2 hours at 150° so hope it works ok.

Good morning. Guess? Yes, another glorious morning in Lancashire :sun:but feels chilly. No frost, or very mild if there was, and now 5⁰. Set the alarm for 7.00 - that was a wasted effort!! Awake at 4.30.

Today I have my first gravel ride. No real idea what to expect. I think both riding and people will be very different from my norm, which is part of the attraction. I suspect I'll be a roadie out of water.

It's 72 miles and 3000 feet, apparently very manageable. Friends say I'll smash it but I'm not at all sure that's the point of gravel riding?

Also have a clothing crisis. 5⁰ says layer up but yesterday we hit 14⁰. Decisions.

Now I must hang out the washing! :laugh:
