Try some extreme ironing, it's a real thing.

Morning, enthusiasm has already left the building, I'm feeling the fact I've not been on the bike since last Tuesday

Morning,nicer ide into work..not too bad but needed my cycling coat..

The rain has done its job, everything looks fresh and watered

Anyone got a remedy for a sprained wrist ? Done my left one in good and proper, can't even tie my shoe laces effectively never mind ride a bike. Incidentally "sprained"is a strange word ,is it not ? Sort of a combination of pain, strain, rain all adding up to a right royal inconvenience

I find the constant bumperty bump along the sleepers makes it rather painful.Need good padded shorts.

I find that riding on the rails is far better, takes a bit more concentration though.

Ouch... lots of rest and cold compresses regularly, bag of peas out of the freezer are good if you don't have a gell thingy already, take ibuprofen regularly too.
I am quite lucky/unlucky as I have hypermobility syndrome that has got better with age (risk of dislocation when I was younger) the only sprains I have had lasted 1 to 2 days (long tendons) if it does not improve in a few days, a trip to the doc may be on the cards

By way of adding insult to injury my large black hunting dog has legged it into the forest (his legs are longer than my arms and he can shift) . Just have to wait until he returns and hope he hasn't got up to any mischief
I don't suppose he swam the channel but this is him !

Thanks for that info. l hadn't thought of cold compress . l have been trying a tight elastic wrap thing with applied warmth, thinking it would relax the tendons ( it hasn't been very effective).

Warm compress may make it feel better, however cold will reduce the swelling, keep it up if possible as this will help any extra fluid generated at the joint disperse too, cold compress is recommended every 20 minutes or so.

On a side note, when I took the dogs out last night, the jackdaws gathered and were dive bombing the spaniel (young about fallen out of the nest no doubt) it was funny watching her jumping up at them and also trying her hardest to climb trees, they dont bother with me or the Labrador, they know the spaniel of old!!!

And that listing is still the same, with same illustration. Which is interesting, because I was just thinking about a SRAM front derailleur. But it looks unfit for purpose.

It will work fine, it is fit for purpose, it just needs plenty of gravy

In Flemish, Zeevruchten or sea fruit, so you can prolly count them as one of your '5 a day.'

Being chocolate makes them so.

I must go and trim the hawthorn bush.

Unless it rains.
