To Cumbria of course!

Very true

The 4 is not really a problem but 4 litres is a different matter but fortunately only for a short time after the op.
At one stage before the op I was reclining in bed wondering what horrors the day would bring when a nurse came rushing in with a one litre jug of water.
“ I forgot earlier so get this down you neck as fast as possible, the porter is on his way up to get you”.
Beer perhaps but try getting that much water down really fast. Now that is a feat.

Had check up this morning and x-ray shows good healing, wound healing well and stitches now removed. Saw the x-ray for the first time and I counted 16 screws

Nice new cast on and have stopped on the way home for a hobble along the seafront and a bite to eat View attachment 617879
I have to say the huge majority were respectful but I am shocked at the way a couple of selfish, impatient 🤬 push past you when walking on crutches. I almost got knocked over

Crutches are also known as “ tripping sticks”.

The thought did cross my mind.

I hope you went for a drive afterwards just to make sure.

Ha Ha.Don’t get my specs until next Thursday Still managed to find my way home even with the old gig lamps

have you read, they recommend 16 ozs of water prior to the jab? mine this afternoon, then I have to drive to Boston to deliver some mail to Son

Does a large mug of coffee & a pint of orange & mango squash count?

Anyhow, I'm now fully Pfizered with the full 5G upgrade. Unfortunately it seems that the new nanobots in the serum are incompatable with my Garmin resulting in the correct mileage being recorded during the after jab ride, but not part of the actual route taken

Edited to add the smiley just in case anybody thought I was being serious about the 5G/nanobot thing!

A consultant told me that I should have at least 4 pints of water per day. Once after a ureter removal that was translated into litres to keep the system flushed out. Drinking it was not too bad but had to stay within reasonable distance of somewhere to let it back out again.

I wonder what the consultant would have said about my system after l had spent some years living and working in various S.E. Asian locations . The golden rule was "Don't drink the water" so the alternative was tea (at least you knew the water had been boiled) or Coca Cola, decanted into a glass that you had washed yourself , just to be sure. And never , never have ice in your drinks . I did give the reason why in another post

Busy day but no cycling unfortunately as the weather is good currently.
Tomorrow looks horrible with heavy rain and strong wind forecast when I am due home. Unpacking the car ( which cannot wait as there is stuff for the freezer ) in such conditions is a nightmare.
All that assumes Calmac have not found some excuse to cancel the ferry. Not up for an 80 mile detour if that happened so I would just rebook for a suitable sailing. In tourist season that could be weeks away.😠
There are still large numbers of the pests but I should manage to get a slot just now.

My son worked on a lot of contracts in the middle east and some of his photographs of kitchen conditions are not for the faint hearted. On one occasion he slept in his boiler suit until he demanded a move next morning.

They must have given you a corvid booster. Hence the ''as the crow flies'' routing.

Not really. It's very mild for November.

Is Toevember some kind of charity challenge?
