I realise I nowhere near as young as I used to be when I read that Egan Bernal is returning to racing after a nasty crash a mere 8 months ago.

My last crash was much less severe and, two whole years later, I’m probably around 95% recovered.

Granddaughter came yesterday afternoon but forgot her tablet, so asked if I would go up to her house & pick it up, I would normally cycle it's 3/4 mile but I'll be honest in the heat I didn't fancy it. Daughter had taken my car so the first set of keys I saw where hers, so jumped in her car got there only to find there was no front door key on the fob. Muttered under my breath & drove home, wife has their front door key on her key fob, so picks her set up & drive back there, only to find I'd picked up the spare set that doesn't have the front door key, more words uttered & drove back home. All good on the 3rd attempt, wife's keys with correct door key on

Did you remember what you were there for?

I find I get easily distracted. I was unwrapping a block of butter the other day and thinking about which bin the wrapper should go in. Deciding it was paper and so should go in the cardboards bin, I dropped the butter into the kitchen pedal bin and neatly folded the paper wrapper before dropping it in with the cardboard. I then went back to my toast and wondered where the butter was.

I read 'getting old' threads with a feeling of close affinity.

When I woke up today and my wife wishes me a happy 40th anniversary of my first day at work, in the industry I'm still in ...... 4 decades, where did that go?

Is that 27 x 1 year old grandchildren? Christmas presents must be expensive.
