The company's cleaner is called Sunshine, nice girl but someone needs to have a word with her about her leggings, they do not flatter her fuller figure.

The Greek word for pumice stone is afrolapetra.

You learn these things when you go to Cyprus with a sore foot.

Why take a sore foot on holiday, leave it behind.

No, it was in fact on a colleagues desk. Behind me. So -and I promise I didn't deliberately set this up- I didn't see it when facing forwards, or when I walked out of the door to look for it a few minutes later...

I did ask...

Are you at the correct(right) desk?

I intend on taking it easy.

I'm starting to stiffen up, but at least the swelling on my knee seems to be going down. The worst bruises are where I got smacked by frame / cranks / pedals, and not the bits that hit the deck...

Bike... Frame looks ok, but right pedal and brifter are pretty mashed and the saddle's got an unsightly tear in it. Chain got unshipped and won't go on cleanly, so suspect something may have been knocked out of alignment.

Glad I was wearing MTB 3/4 length tights, as it meant I'm not sitting here picking muddy gravel and cow poo out of my knees...

You may have bent a chainring.
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't bounce well and I hope you will mend soon.

Yeuk!

I've just had a brussel sprout crisp!

Which b*****d tied you to a chair and force-fed you? The scoundrel. The rotter. The bounder.......

Of course, I'd have no sympathy at all if you'd put the thing in your mouth voluntarily, but who in their right mind would do that?

I crashed today.

Wheel got caught in a crack in the road that I didn't see because of the mud. Feel pretty sorry for myself. The bruises and road rash wouldn't disgrace a Grand Tour rider.

In stereo now, recover soon.

Thank you all for the good wishes xxx You guys and girls are just the best.

The chocolate is *definitely* medicinal. I have some very fine dark chocolate with whole nut, and it is going down a treat.

My knees are looking rather technicolour, I must say, and my face has sore bits where my helmet and glasses dug in a bit.

I took my mind off feeling sore by relaxing in the kitchen, cooking up a storm. So had a lovely supper of pulled ham hock in parsley sauce, colcannon and steamed green beans.

Five litres of 36% hydrochloric acid could be winging its way towards me.

Edit: Oops, @Reynard. I send my best wishes too.

 

[Reynard]

Thanks xxx As long as you don't send me the acid too @slowmotion

No danger of that. It's got a hot date with my hydrogen peroxide and a thin layer of copper.

Hubble, bubble....

Big thanks to some dear friends who came to bail me out PDQ from in the middle of nowhere.

A hot bath and plenty of chocolate are on the agenda for later.
