I've yet to be peeled from the ceiling during dressing changes, if that's what you were wondering

Reminds me of a patient Mrs 73 had the other day. The screen said dressing change, the kid was 5. Odd thought Mrs 73, turned out he’d cut his head over 2 weeks ago. The problem was he’d not let his mum take it off.
She was worried as it was so long after. So Mrs 73 started talking to him, what’s father Christmas bringing you? A big truck he said, oh ok you like trucks, yes and cars.

Mrs 73 then try’s to get the plaster off. He’s not having it, says me do it , ok you do it. He try’s buts not getting any where. Mrs 73 try’s again , dont need help me do it.

Mrs 73 changes tack gets him talking about trucks and cars. Then thought right , she made a brake for it. Grabs the plaster and off in one. The lad just burst out laughing, his mum was relived it was finally off and they went off to get him a truck she’d promised he could have if he got the plaster off.

Morning.
It looks like we have a clear sky, a pale orange on the horizon fading through beige to a pale blue.
I was looking at the instructions for a Lego set that my son's family bought me for Christmas. It is of a McLaren MP4/4. It was sort of looking interesting until my wife said that I had to start at the beginning and not at the interesting bit.

Frosty morning

I took my Pinarello out for a ride yesterday afternoon. I thought I would swap my bikes round. It is my Angliru which I bought cheap because the paintwork has corrosion in places, had lots of paint chips and that the seat post was seized in. Managed to get the seat post round my friend's garage by pouring boiling water on the frame and using brute force.
I wrapped up well for yesterday's ride. If you imagine the Michelin man you won't be far wrong. The ride went well but there were a lot of walky peeps about. On a climb going back home I stayed behind 2 horse riders and let them clear a pathway for me, I was in no hurry, it also gave me a chance to get my breath back.
In the evening I thought I would set about touching in the paint chips with red paint. The way it looked before with white chips all over it looked like it had the Pox. It now looks hell of a lot better! There are a few large areas of corrosion which I will sort out later.
