I had a physio tell me similar so i thought about a static bike or a trainer but settled on the Trike.

I'd similar advice given when I snapped my ankle. Go on a weekly basis to the physioterrorist, and spend an hour on a static bike. I asked if it there was any real difference, in terms of the benefits, to riding a bike on the road. Got a bemused look and the answer no, one's as good as the other.

It freed up time for someone else to be treated, and I got to get back on the bike. No instant results, but walking did get easier. Up until I got hit crossing the road in the town centre by a car. Another A&E visit though, and a rather surprised call for a job interview. They called whilst I was in A&E.

A trike would have been more fun I admit but I need to do boring things with the money like buy furniture for my new flat.

Fit a stabilizer on one side!

Food went down well, Soup, plus veggie curry and some steamed rice.

The footy went down a little less well.

So far this week, I've had a spa break with a massage, got a goody bag with some slippers and a new dressing gown, and today I had my hair done. I'm feeling a bit myself!

A massage sounds lovely. Could actually do with one right now after spending a good part of the morning climbing ladders and pretzelling myself behind a freezer to reach a power socket. I've definitely found muscles I didn't think I had...

Molly says she’s glad she lives here! She had her tea at 4 and is now anticipating her supper 🐱

Oooer...

Well the girls get breakfast and supper (wet food), plus there's the self-service buffet for biscuits. Umm, and they get a little bit of ham or chicken at lunchtime.

Have you got your freezer sorted then? On the phone, so I can live without truffling back and dropping the phone in the bath again...

Yeap, power restored to the garage / utility room and both freezer and fridge up and running again.

I was told riding a bike outside could be dangerous specifically the danger of falling on my repaired leg hence the Trike. What no-one told me was riding a Trike can be terrifying until you've got the technique right, I still sometimes go into bends too fast but more when i've misjudged them or they tighten up unexpectedly.

I can't risk falling on it at the moment. It was splintered and broken in five places. Even walking, the physio advises that putting weight on it won't do in harm but to twist or go over on the ankle could be a very bad thing.

So you're not wearing your Stilleto slingbacks for a while.

I'd no metal inserts, just pulled straight then backslabbed and strapped.

You'll be walking tall soon, no worry.

I am cross-checking some motor racing photographs for a friend with those in my own archive to check whether someone's been clever with photoshop.

So far, everything seems to check out.

I could use a while I'm at it.
