It was bucketing it down while I was having my lunch. Now it's sunny and looks like the showers have taken a hike.

Lovely lunch of toast, home made hummus, a pear, some pineapple, half an avocado and two

Currently freezing my bits off protecting a crash victim at Llandegla. My second lap, staff now with injured person and partner. Poor lass crashed on a fast section of the blue. I'm up the hill slowing any riders.

Bars have gone into her pelvis. In loads of pain. Just lent them my waterproof as they aren't well wrapped up.

Ouch, hope the lass is OK, that sounds rather nasty. Chapeau to you for helping out xxx

Just how big is this "laundry room"?

There are three, between them big enough for a team of about twelve people. The organisation folds laundry for three hotels at a local theme park, an old people's home in France, and a large psychiatric institute in the next town.

My optitian sent me a text advising me that it's two years since my last eye test.

Was it in large print?

Was it in large print?

No it was tiny so my conclusion is that I don't need an eye test...

Time to stick some cycling kit on and pedal off to go and vote.

But no-one needed an appointment last year because everyone had 2020 vision

Blowing a gale outside, looking at the trees swaying made me feel cold, I lit the fire.

I can easily read this with 2.5 mag readers on, without I need this.
Its not for this thead thread Andy but I'm feeling lazy. Do the people you know have any views on Nordstream 2 and the coming elections? I read that the Green Party should expect a good turnout and they are not for Nordstream.

Anyways, can I be cheeky and ask you a favour?

I know a lot of the more conservative people here are "concerned" that the greens will become a more dominant party and may tax their cars more. As you'd expect I'm not sympathetic. Hopefully the Nordstrom issue will cause more people to vote for more ecologically aware parties.

Power generation is more localised here, and I don't know how much the Nordstrom 2 will affect us as we're in the deep south. People here are more concerned with a French nuclear power station right on the border in a comparatively seismically active region of Europe.

Voting done, plus popped into the garage in the village to book the car in to sort a few niggles.

And I had a nice ride on Max the MTB to boot.

Now have a and two milk chocolate suggestives.

Air Ambulance arrived very fast as did the 'Trail Pixies' (llandegla staff) - she had to have her handlebars cut/removed off the bike and taken to hospital with them still impaled - we suspect no bar plugs as it was a lower end MTB. For the cost of 99p, please kids, fit some.

Oh and whilst stopping riders, we heard another person had OTB'ed and broken their colar bone (spoke to his mate later). The staff told me to head back after about 30 minutes as I was getting cold, and just as I was leaving, they phoned me that they had my waterproof back. Fingers crossed she is OK.

Two lesons, never ride a bike without bar plugs, and please dress appropriately - they had waterproofs but couldn't get to them. Only wearing cotton t-shirts - let's just say, my first lap was with a full winter top, second lap, windproof softshell. It was not warm.

Flipping ambulances and mountain rescue all over Llandegla today, and that's despite it being a quiet Thursday.

A very big thumbs up to our Emergency Services and Llandegla's staff - I made sure to thank them when I was at the Cafe.
