Sleet stayed off so went for a walk to check out another forestry road for the trike.
This is 8 miles away from home but the ones nearby are covered in large sharp stones which would cause havoc with my tyres. The Loch Frisa route used to be a handy circular 20 miles with part forestry and part main road. You did at one point have to fight your way through the sea eagle self appointed police and on one occasion I stopped after being followed by a car for a couple of miles and threatened to accidentally chuck a rock through his windscreen if he did not f---k off. He took the hint.
On another occasion they threatened to call the police as the local plod was a cyclist and at that point not in uniform. This happen to him several times in various places. He did sometimes do a patrol round that area in uniform on his police issue bike.
The road I checked out is good but needs a few dry days as it has a gloopy sticky surface when wet and would probably clog up my mudguards as well as cover the drive train in wet muck.

On Monday there were two cakes from someone else's birthday, Tuesday was the cake from the chap leaving to work in London AND there was also more cake at my stepmother's 70th birthday meal on Monday so I think I am at peak cake currently. Something savoury instead (sausage rolls?) wouldn't go amiss on Wednesday.

oh yeah sign me up for that!

I'll be back to work on Monday next week so I have a few days left to go when I want to get my fat a**e muscles to get used to it.

I found a quiet circuit of about 13 machines that no one seems to use at lunchtime. I do 2 sets of about 15 reps at each station (I would rather do 3 sets of 10 but I don't have the time). in August I started w/ very light weights just to get my ligaments & muscles accustomed to moving again. went every day (during the week). in & out w/ only about 20minutes on the circuit. built up the weights & now doing the weight training M W F & fast walking on an inclined treadmill on Tues & Thurs. occasionally I throw in a Saturday & do an hour on the treadmill or a stationary bike. don't wanna hurt nuthin'! ;-)

It's just been noted the coffee machine has 'gone' - given I was the only user of it ! We shall see...

I've just cut my hair. Long, this time. 6mm all over.
In Spring it'll be 1,2 or 3 mm depending on my mood.

No, just this shy and retiring one. It will help with peripheral vision

We shall see, given it will collect dust if they take it.
