We weren't there long enough to do more. Mr Hop wasn't drinking and I only had a couple. Me and @Hill Wimp made a much better job of it last year

We need to return

My phone is only halfway charged.

MIne is charging.

I had a lovely piece of cod and salad for supper.

No fish sauce was involved just oil and vinegar with a squeeze of lemon.

Fruit salad for dessert

I had strawberries, purchased at the Dog &Duck!

My phone is at 28%. I don't know what it does all day.

The eggs are lovely too.

Why is it that when you're opening a bottle of wine with a corkscrew it doesn't work properly if you turn the bottle and not the screw? It's so rare that I come across a cork these days that I think I've forgotten some of the basics.

Enjoy.

A small glass of brandy may just become a large one listening to this debate on TV

I think Mrs RM should wade in and sort out the squabbling, she raised Gravel so she can tackle anything.

Obviously not - @potsy's been here all the time...

Not to mention @User14044

I'd be on the floor trying that.

This is the one I've been supposed to practice for back extensions. I can't get even a fifth of that. Too painful.

Yes I got nowhere with it, I'm too bulky round the solders and chest, I couldn't get near the arm position, I also can't stand on one leg for very long. Your sphinx is our cobra.

I've no idea what it's called ! I know it as a spinal extension, which I can't do. Just back, I'm not the most useless in the class. About 10, of mixed ages and there was one other fella, phew. New folk too, and most have various joint problems.

Remember what the doctor said though

Back from the consultant. Fortunately I have a good spine, and no degeneration that one would typically expect at my age of 46 (he was the same age and said he'd be happy if he had a back as good as mine).

He is happy with the healing and the 10 degrees of kyphosis (spine tilt) isn't 'normal' but it's within tolerances and shouldn't give me much bother when older. I will most likely still get twinges and pain for the rest of my life, but he has said I can exercise properly without worrying too much about pain being an indicator of something wrong. Pop some pain killers and don't do too much was his answer !

Oh, I nearly forgot to mention... My Garmin is nearly fully charged.

The batteries in my Etrex last months.

The batteries in my Etrex last months.

I think get 15 hours riding with my 705. Once I've uploaded a ride, I just leave it plugged into the laptop for a while to keep it fully charged.

It takes a little bit of time to build the flexibility, all we can do is what our bodies let us do. I've got a lot of wear in my lower back, a lifetime of manual labour, that combined with the amount of cycling I've done makes some poses very difficult to do, but I just do what I can do.

I can testify that the unpaved track from Heacham Beach to Hunstanton is not only unpaved but you can have great fun swerving around the potholes, some of which seem to be permanently filled with water. Just don't sit on your saddle.
