I miss running Mo, but 18 months on my achilles still hurts a bit

Morning.
Still blowing a gale here. Early ride with mate postponed until this afternoon pending on wind easing.
Slightly hungover after evening at pub. Not too bad bu tI can feel I've had a few beers!

I don't do running.. If I was to compare myself to something it would be Forrest Gump on drugs..

Now; walking I can do 👍

Slightly (un)interested to have a few Royals popping up on my fb account for 'People you might know' Prince William etc are there.
Strangely, the 12 yo George is there though I thought 13 was the minimum age for an account 👑

Geddy arrives today Pete. You'll have to pop over some time soon for a PG and a Lidls biscuit in a McVities wrapper.

I used to love running (never got past 1/2 marathons) but it really knackered my knees up. That's how I 'discovered' cycling.

Good morning. Breezy, to say the least, and brightish from time to time. I promised to take #1SP out today. She wants to go to the play park. That's gonna be fun but I will not let her down....................even if freezes me half to death. Not much else on except film club tonight. I will away to do my stretches and weights shortly but first a little story. A slightly disturbing one.

A friend, W, got in touch saying her daughter, L, lives next door to a young chap, 28. called C. Any way L got in to conversation with C who mentioned his father lives in *****, this is our village. I know L through her mother, my PT and by seeing her in the gym. A genuine young woman. She said to C words to the effect " I know Mr and Mrs P" they live in the same village. C then says his father drives a blue Porsche and knows me and he does a lot around the village. He also knew all about my RTC with the tractor. This man has a Scottish surname, we don't know what it is. Mrs P and I are a little bemused.

We have been here 43 years. We are heavily involved in village life and yes we are well known around the village. This is true for all of us who have been here 40+ years - it's because we love and care for the place. Mrs P and I do not know anyone with a Scottish surname, who drives a blue Porsche and who "does a lot for the village." I can imagine everyone knows about the RTC, many, many people have asked about who I haven't told. All the rest of this little story??? Nope. Not true. We've warned our friend.

That's the trouble with FB to many undesirables.

The guy doing my lughole syringing has messaged that he will be 40 minutes late.......I hate just sitting and twiddling my thumbs.

Just read in the News that queueing is the new 'cool'.

People queueing overnight for the opening of a new cosmetics store find it "exciting" and "exhilarating!"

"You make so many like-minded new friends."

What a crazy & dumb world it is out there beyond the bounds of our little village!
